Filter by:This randomized pilot clinical trial studies how well giving prolonged infusion compared to standard infusion of cefepime hydrochloride works in treating patients with febrile neutropenia. Giving cefepime hydrochloride over a longer period of time may be more effective than giving cefepime hydrochloride over the standard time.
This is a pilot study using decitabine and vorinostat before and during chemotherapy with vincristine, dexamethasone, mitoxantrone, and peg-asparaginase in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
Patients with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) who relapse after an allogeneic stem cell transplant cell receive decitabine to up regulate cancer antigen expression, followed by a donor lymphocyte infusion and an autologous dendritic cell (DC). Vaccine Dendritic cells are pulsed with overlapping peptides derived from MAGE-A1, MAGE-A3, and NY-ESO-1.
Background: - Cord blood banks have been set up to collect and store umbilical cord blood for transplants. These transplants are used to treat different types of cancer. In October 2011, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began considering cord blood as a biological drug. Most of the cord blood units currently available in cord blood banks in the United States and other countries were collected before the FDA set these new standards. The units meet standards set by the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP), but they were not collected, tested, or stored exactly according to FDA standards. As a result, the new guidelines state that they may only be used for transplant if the transplant is done as part of a study. Researchers have set up a study to provide these cord blood units to recipients and to study the effects of their use. Objectives: - To provide access to cord blood units for recipients whose best choice for a unit meets NMDP but not FDA standards. - To study the effects of these cord blood transplants. Eligibility: - Individuals who need to have a cord blood transplant to treat certain types of cancer. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam, medical history. They will also have blood tests and imaging studies. - Participants will have the cord blood transplant and allow their medical data to be collected by the study researchers.
This is a single-center open-label phase I clinical trial of delivering haploidentical natural killer (NK) cells matured ex vivo with ALT-801 followed by intravenous infusions of ALT-801 in patients with relapsed/refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). The study will be conducted at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC) and MDACC Children's Cancer Hospital in Houston, Texas.
This is a phase II, single-arm, open-label, multi-center study in adult patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and FLT3-ITD as defined in inclusion/exclusion criteria. The primary efficacy object is to evaluate the impact of midostaurin given in combination with intensive induction, consolidation including allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and single agent maintenance therapy on event-free survival (EFS) in adult patients with AML exhibiting a FLT3-ITD. Sample size: 440 patients The treatment duration of an individual patient is between 18 and 24 months. Duration of the study for an individual patient including treatment (induction, consolidation [chemotherapy or allogeneic SCT], maintenance and follow-up period: Maximum 8 years
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of OCV-501 in patients with AML who completed the Study 311-10-001 and were judged that there was no relapse by any inspections in the end of the study.
The GIMEMA CML Working Party promotes an observational (retrospective and perspective) study of Imatinib-resistant or intolerant CML patients treated with Nilotinib in Italy. Enrollment will include all patients who started Nilotinib between January 2005 and December 2012. Patients will be followed for 4 years since treatment start. After this time, survival data, disease status and treatment will be recorded at 6-months-interval. This study will help the definition of guidelines for a proper management of Nilotinib in any-phase CML patients.
This phase I/II trial studies the safety and toxicity of post-transplant treatment with donor T cells engineered to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) targeting CD19 in patients who have had a matched related allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant for a CD19+ B cell malignancy.
This study evaluated the safety and tolerability of using HSC835 in patients with hematological malignancies.
