Filter by:This is a treatment guideline for HLA-Haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) using a reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimen. This regimen, consisting of fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and low dose total body irradiation (TBI), is designed for the treatment of patients with advanced and/or high risk diseases.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well choline magnesium trisalicylate with idarubicin and cytarabine works in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as choline magnesium trisalicylate, idarubicin, and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet know whether choline magnesium trisalicylate and combination chemotherapy is more effective than combination chemotherapy alone in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
This trial includes patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, the most common kind of malignant lymphoma. Monoclonal antibodies directed against cluster of differentiation antigen 20 have improved treatment results in different forms of lymphomas; however in chronic lymphocytic leukemia treatment with monoclonal antibodies is less effective, and it has been suggested that this is depending on a lower expression of the cluster of differentiation antigen 20 protein on the chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells. Valproate, an anticonvulsant drug, has been shown to increase the cluster of differentiation antigen 20 expression, and the rationale in this study is that an increasement of cluster of differentiation antigen 20 would make treatment with monoclonal antibodies in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia more effective.
This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well blinatumomab and combination chemotherapy or dasatinib, prednisone, and blinatumomab work in treating older patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as blinatumomab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as prednisone, vincristine sulfate, methotrexate, and mercaptopurine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Dasatinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving blinatumomab with combination chemotherapy or dasatinib and prednisone may kill more cancer cells.
A subset of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) harbor rearrangements of the MLL gene, which are detected either by cytogenetic or fluorescent in situ hybridization evaluation at the time of diagnosis. A protein called DOT1L plays an important role in the malignant process in these leukemias. EPZ-5676 is a molecule that blocks the activity of DOT1L, and is therefore being evaluated in the treatment of patients with MLL-rearranged leukemias.
This clinical research study is made up of 2 phases. The goal of Phase 1 of the study is to test the safety of the combination of omacetaxine and decitabine and to find the best dose to give to future patients. The goal of Phase 2 of the study is to learn if this dose can help to control AML and/or MDS. The safety will then continue to be studied.
This was an open-label, non-randomized, multicenter, Phase 2 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of ABT-199 in 127 participants with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) after B-cell receptor signaling pathway inhibitors (BCR PI) treatment.
To investigate safety, tolerability of cafusertib combination with low dose cytarabine (LD-Ara-C) in Chinese patients with relapsed/refractory AML that are not eligible for conventional or intensive treatment. The dose of cafusertib will be escalated to determine the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of cafusertib in combination with LD-Ara-C in AML patients. At the same time, pharmacokinetic characteristics and preliminary efficacy of cafusertib will be observed in AML patients. To determine the recommended dosage regimen for phase II.
The proposed trial will address two clinically important questions for younger patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML): the optimal dose of daunorubicin in induction therapy and the necessity of a second induction cycle in patients with a good response after the first induction. The primary endpoint is the rate of good responders. Secondary outcomes will be relapse-free survival, overall survival and minimal residual disease kinetics. Patients will be recruited in about 40 treatment centers of the Study Alliance Leukemia study group over a period of 40 months. The results will be of great clinical relevance: First, the study could facilitate the establishment or confirmation of the optimal daunorubicin dose.
This study will assess the safety and preliminary efficacy of escalating doses of VAY736 in relapsed or refractory CLL patients.
