Filter by:The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if sapacitabine given in combination with 2 standard drugs (cyclophosphamide and rituximab) can help to control CLL and SLL. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied.
This phase II trial is studying how well AKT inhibitor MK-2206 works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). AKT inhibitor MK-2206 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This phase II trial studies how well sorafenib tosylate and chemotherapy work in treating older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as daunorubicin hydrochloride and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving sorafenib tosylate and combination chemotherapy may be an effective treatment for AML.
This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well clofarabine works when given together with low-dose total-body irradiation (TBI) in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) undergoing donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant (PBSCT). Giving chemotherapy and TBI before a donor PBSCT helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Although the impact of disease and treatment related burden on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with solid tumours has been well studied, with several clinical trials that included HRQOL as an endpoint, the general understanding in patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML) is lacking in comparison. The literature shows that patients' perspective is unique and should always be measured with methodologically sound instruments that are devised for this purpose. The main scope of this project is develop to an international validated questionnaire for the purpose of HRQOL assessment; such a tool will then be used to provide important data, from the patients' perspective, to make more informed treatment decisions.
This is a registry study in adult patients with newly diagnosed or refractory/relapsed myeloid neoplasms Investigator's sites: 60-70 sites in Germany and Austria Estimated duration of observation of an individual patient: 10 years maximum Objectives - To register all patients with acute myeloid leukemia and related precursor neoplasms, acute leukemia of unambiguous lineage, with higher risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS with excess blasts 2), and with myeloid neoplasms with germline predisposition, newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory in all participating centers (completeness) - To perform timely analyses of disease-related genetic markers (incidences, treatment recommendations) - To assess patient and family history, clinical characteristics and outcome data (event-free survival [EFS], cumulative incidence of relapse [CIR], cumulative incidence of death [CID], overall survival [OS]) - To assess biological disease features and correlate with clinical outcome data (prognostic and predictive markers) - To store biosamples from all patients (e.g., bone marrow, blood, plasma, normal tissue, e.g., skin biopsy, buccal swap, finger nails, hairs, or sputum) - To assess quality of life
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of ruxolitinib that can be given to patients with acute leukemia and to learn if the study drug can help control the disease. The safety of the drug will also be studied.
This is an assessment of efficacy and safety of three different doses of pegylated recombinant asparaginase (PEG-rASNase) in comparison to Oncaspar® during treatment of adults with de novo acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). This study will provide first data for determining specific asparaginase doses to yield various durations of L-asparagine (ASN) depletion which are required within different treatment phases of ALL therapy.
The study aims to assess the activity of decitabine in the treatment of CMML.
This phase II trial studies how well sirolimus, cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil works in preventing graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) in patients with blood cancer undergoing donor peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplant. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving total-body irradiation together with sirolimus, cyclosporine, and mycophenolate mofetil before and after transplant may stop this from happening.
