Filter by:This study is to provide idelalisib (IDELA) to individuals with relapsed, previously treated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who have limited treatment options and are not eligible for other Gilead-sponsored studies.
This phase II trial studies how well clofarabine, idarubicin, cytarabine, vincristine sulfate, and dexamethasone work in treating patients with mixed phenotype acute leukemia that is newly diagnosed or has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as clofarabine, idarubicin, cytarabine, vincristine sulfate, and dexamethasone, 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.
This research study is evaluating a combination of drugs called Ofatumumab and Idelalisib as a possible treatment for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) and Small Lymphocytic Leukemia (SLL). The main purpose of this study is to examine the combination of the two drugs, Ofatumumab and Idelalisib, in participants who have been diagnosed with CLL/SLL and have not previously received treatment but do require treatment. The investigators hope to observe how participants' disease will be impacted by this treatment and whether they will benefit more from combining these drugs together rather than taking them separately. Both of these drugs have been used in treatment for CLL / SLL and information from those research studies suggests that these drugs may help patients with CLL/SLL. Ofatumumab is an antibody engineered in the lab against CD20, a protein on the surface of CLL cells, which is expressed in CLL. An antibody is a molecule your body creates to identify foreign substances so that it can destroy them. Ofatumumab has been FDA approved for treatment of CLL/SLL that has relapsed or progressed on other therapies. Idelalisib is a drug that blocks one of the signals inside the cells that cause this type of cancer to grow and survive. The investigators hope that combining Ofatumumab with Idelalisib will stop the growth of disease. In this research study, the investigators are evaluating the side effects of combining these two drugs, gathering information on the CLL/SLL disease process and how the study affects the patient's cells, as well as assessing the outcome of the disease. This combination of drugs has been previously tested, and appeared to be well tolerated.
Fatigue is a major problem in children, adolescents and adults receiving intensive chemotherapy for cancer and in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Guidelines from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network suggest that all patients, including children as young as 5 years of age, should be routinely screened for fatigue at the initial visit and at regular intervals throughout and following anti-cancer treatment. These guidelines also suggest that fatigue should be managed according to clinical practice guidelines. However, evidence demonstrating effective interventions for fatigue in children with cancer is scarce. Exercise is an effective intervention for cancer-related fatigue in patients of all ages. However, patients receiving the most intensive treatments may be too ill to participate in a standardized exercise program. A unique and potentially effective intervention that combines exercise and relaxation is yoga. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) will determine whether a 3 week program of individualized yoga is associated with less fatigue, better quality of life (QoL) and less systemic opioid use compared to the control program of an Apple tablet (iPad) games, music, movies or books. This is a multi-center, parallel-group, randomized trial of individualized yoga for fatigue. Subjects are inpatients 8-18 years of age receiving intensive chemotherapy for cancer or undergoing HSCT who are expected to remain in hospital for 3 weeks. Participants will be randomized to the individualized yoga program or to the iPad activity control program. For those who remain hospitalized on day 21, the alternate intervention will be offered for 1 week and the preferred strategy will be determined. Yoga has the potential to significantly reduce fatigue, a prevalent and distressing symptom, in children with cancer and HSCT. The investigators have assembled the optimal team with the expertise and track record to accomplish this important trial. This trial is an incremental and critically important step in a program of research designed to improve health for children at the highest risk for poor quality of life. Results may have broad applicability to other hospitalized pediatric populations and has the potential to change in-hospital care for these patients.
The trial will test the effectiveness and toxicity of subcutaneous treatment with one cycle of cladribine in patients with hairy cell leukemia requiring treatment. They have to be untreated so far or may be pretreated with alpha-interferon.
This phase II trial studies how well ruxolitinib phosphate works in reducing fatigue in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Ruxolitinib phosphate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking a protein called Janus kinase (JAK) that is needed for cell growth and may also help control fatigue, decrease the size of lymph nodes and/or lower the number of chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells in the blood.
Phase 3, 2-arm, randomized, open label trial. Patients will be randomized to receive bosutinib or imatinib for the duration of the study.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of targeted marrow irradiation when given with fludarabine phosphate and busulfan before donor progenitor cell transplant in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. Targeted marrow irradiation is a type of specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the cancer cells, which may kill more cancer cells and cause less damage to normal cells. Giving targeted marrow irradiation and chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine phosphate and busulfan, before a donor progenitor cell transplant may help stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's progenitor cells. When the healthy progenitor cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make progenitor cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
This phase I/Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of azacitidine and sonidegib or decitabine and so see how well they work in treating patients with myeloid malignancies. The hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway plays an important role in cellular growth, differentiation and repair. Inappropriate activation of Hh pathway signaling and uncontrolled cellular proliferation may be associated with mutations in the Hh-ligand cell surface receptor Smo. Sonidegib binds to the Hh cell surface receptor Smo, which may result in the suppression of the Hh signaling pathway and the inhibition of cancer cells. Azacitidine and decitabine may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving azacitidine together with sonidegib or decitabine may be a safe and successful treatment for patients with myeloid malignancies.
This phase II trial studies how well ibrutinib works in treating patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has come back after treatment or has not responded to other treatment. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
