Filter by:The aim of this study is to find the appropriate dose of eltrombopag in thrombocytopenic CLL patients, that shortens the duration of the thrombocytopenia and achieves platelet count of ≥ 100/nl prior to the start of chemotherapy containing alkylating agents and/or Purine Analogues.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of BKM120 that can be given to patients with relapsed or refractory leukemia. The safety of BKM120 will also be studied.
RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood and tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about cancer and the development of drug resistance in patients. It may also help doctors find better ways to treat cancer. PURPOSE: This research trial is studying samples from patients with leukemia.
This observational study will assess the health related quality of life (HQRL) profiles of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. Using health assessment questionnaires, data will be collected from patients currently receiving therapy and from those who have finished therapy and have undergone an assessment of treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate treatment patterns and associated outcomes for CP-CML patients who fail Imatinib 400 mg daily in a real-world setting.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if adding pegylated interferon-alfa 2a (Pegasys) to the TKI that you are already receiving can help to control CML. The safety of this treatment combination will also be studied. Pegasys is a form of the drug interferon. It is designed to help the body's immune system to fight infections. It may also affect the body's response to cancer. A TKI (imatinib mesylate, nilotinib, or dasatinib) is designed to bind to and shut off a protein in tumor cells called Bcr-Abl. Shutting Bcr-Abl off may prevent CML cells from growing, and may cause them to die. You are already receiving a TKI. This consent form will describe the administration of Pegasys, any tests and procedures that need to be performed while you are receiving Pegasys, and any risks/benefits there may be from receiving Pegasys.
Aims and objectives - Assessment of the efficacy of the study treatment in the study population in terms of response rate, progression-free survival, failure-free survival and overall survival. - Acquisition of further data to expand the data base on the toxicity of the study treatment. - Assessment of the efficacy of the study treatment in biological risk groups. - Assessment of response in terms of minimal residual disease. Number of patients and estimated duration Total no. of patients: 122 (~29 with 17p deletion for first-line therapy, ~29 with 17p deletion for second- or higher-line treatment, ~65 fludarabine-refractory irrespective of 17p status). Duration for each patient: Max. 12 weeks of treatment in three 4-week cycles, then up to two years maintenance treatment.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if giving a kind of immune cell called natural killer (NK) cells after chemotherapy will improve the response to a stem cell transplant in patients with CML. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
The purpose of this study is to define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of AC220 when combined with induction and consolidation therapy and as maintenance therapy following induction and consolidation.
This phase I trial studies the effects and safety of adding azacitidine (5-AzaC) to the standard of care (Soc) for patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) after being treated with donor stem cell transplant. SoC includes giving an infusion of the donor's white blood cells (donor lymphocyte infusion or DLI) to boost the anticancer effects of the transplant. Giving 5-AzaC after DLI may alter the function of T-cells resulting in reduced incidence of graft versus host disease (GVHD) while maintaining the anticancer effects.
