Filter by:Investigational Drugs: Ofatumumab (Azerra) + bendamustine (Trenda) Route of Administration: Intravenous (IV) Hypothesis: This study is designed to assess the toxicity and overall response rate. Ofatumumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody (A type of protein made in the laboratory that can bind to substances in the body, including tumor cells) that shows promising activity in the treatment of CLL as a single agent. It is thought that by combining it with Bendamustine, an FDA approved treatment for CLL, the effect on CLL will be greater than if Ofatumumab is given alone. Ofatumumab is FDA approved for the treatment of relapsed/refractory CLL. Participation: Approximately 37 relapsed/refractory CLL subjects will participate in this study over two years. Treatment Plan: A maximum of 6 cycles of treatment will be allowed. During day 1 of cycle 1 ofatumumab IV 300mg will be administered. On day 1 of all cycles ofatumumab treatment will be followed by bendamustine IV 90mg/m2. On day 2 of all cycles, bendamustine IV 90mg/m2 will be administered. On day 3 of all cycles, neulasta SQ 6mg will be given. On day 8 of cycle 1 only patients will receive ofatumumab IV 1000mg. During cycles 2 through 6 ofatumumab 1000mg will be given on day 1 only. Follow-up: Patients will be followed monthly for six months, then every three months for five years then annually thereafter.
The purpose of this study is to determine the tolerated dose of the combination of decitabine and midostaurin as induction (first cycle of chemotherapy) and consolidation (additional chemotherapy once a patient goes into remission) in people greater than 60 years with newly diagnosed AML or adult patients with relapsed/refractory disease.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of cytarabine when given together with decitabine and vorinostat in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome that has returned or has not responded to treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine and decitabine, 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. Vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving cytarabine together with decitabine and vorinostat may kill more cancer cells.
RATIONALE: AR-42 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of AR-42 in treating patients with advanced or relapsed multiple myeloma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, or lymphoma.
RATIONALE: Bortezomib and azacitidine may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of bortezomib when given together with azacitidine in treating patients with relapsed or refractory T-cell lymphoma.
RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as mitoxantrone, etoposide, 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 bortezomib together with combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of bortezomib when given together with mitoxantrone, etoposide, and cytarabine in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia.
A multicenter, open label study of Nilotinib in CML patients PH + with imatininb resistant in blast crisis, accelerated phase or chronic phase. The main purpose is evaluate the safety and efficacy of Nilotinib.
This is a Phase I-II study evaluating the toxicity and efficacy of imatinib combined with mitoxantrone, etoposide and high-dose cytarabine reinduction therapy in relapsed and refractory AML. Patients will be treated initially at a 200 mg dose of imatinib; if tolerated, the imatinib dose will be escalated in subsequent cohorts to 300 mg and 400 mg. Once the recommended dose is determined, the remaining patients will be treated at that dose, to evaluate the antileukemic activity of the regimen. Patients achieving complete remission will receive consolidation therapy with imatinib combined with high-dose cytarabine and mitoxantrone, followed by maintenance imatinib.
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and the best dose of alvespimycin hydrochloride in treating patients with relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), or B-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (B-PLL). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as alvespimycin hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

Ofatumumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody (A type of protein made in the laboratory that can bind to substances in the body, including tumor cells) that shows promising activity in the treatment of CLL as a single agent. It is thought that by combining it with Bendamustine, an FDA approved treatment for CLL, the effect on CLL will be greater than if Ofatumumab is given alone. Participation: Approximately 38 previously untreated CLL subjects will participate in this study over two years. Treatment Plan: A maximum of 6 cycles of treatment will be allowed. During day 1 of cycle 1 ofatumumab IV 300mg will be administered. On day 1 of all cycles ofatumumab treatment will be followed by bendamustine IV 90mg/m2. On day 2 of all cycles, bendamustine IV 90mg/m2 will be administered. On day 3 of all cycles, neulasta SQ 6mg will be given. On day 8 of cycle 1 only patients will receive ofatumumab IV 1000mg.
