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.
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.
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with newly diagnosed AML ≤60 years of age in intermediate risk, after first complete response in comparison to standard consolidation chemotherapy
To determine the response to the combination of Revlimid (Lenalidomide)+ Vidaza (Azacitidine) in patients with relapsed/refractory CLL and SLL Hypothesis- lenalidomide's activity in combination with azacitidine may further enhance its activity and the durability of treatment response.
This is a pilot study of a drug called rituximab used together with other drugs—prednisone, etoposide, and ifosfamide. Prednisone, etoposide, and ifosfamide have been used as part of standard chemotherapy for relapsed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Rituximab was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1997. However, the use of rituximab with prednisone, etoposide, and ifosfamide in pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory ALL is considered experimental. This study is for patients who have ALL in second or greater relapse, or in first relapse and not responding to treatment. The goals of this study are: - To see if using rituximab with prednisone, etoposide, and ifosfamide is beneficial to leukemia treatment - To find out what side effects this combination of drugs can cause A total of 15 participants (30 years old or younger) will be enrolled, over a period of 2 years.
Granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is frequently used among patients with cancer including those with haematological malignancies. Filgrastim is a recombinant human CSF whose biological activity is similar to that of endogenous G-CSF. In the treatment of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia in patients with various types of cancer CSFs significantly reduced the time to neutrophil recovery and length of hospitalization.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if lenalidomide and darbepoetin alfa given together will help to control the need for transfusions in patients with low to intermediate risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS). The safety of this combination will also be studied.
This is a phase I/II open-label study that is evaluating the toxicity and efficacy of nilotinib combined with mitoxantrone, etoposide, and high-dose cytarabine (NOVE-HiDAC) chemotherapy for patients with poor-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). There are two parts to the study. The first part (Phase I) will determine the maximum dose of nilotinib that can safely be given when combined with NOVE-HiDAC. This dose will then be used in combination with the NOVE-HiDAC regimen in the second part of the study (Phase II), which will evaluate the antileukemic activity of the treatment. The patients who achieve complete remission from the induction therapy (1 cycle) will then receive consolidation therapy combined with nilotinib (maximum of 2 cycles). The patient population for this study will have AML and will fall into a poor risk category. This means they have persistent leukemia after induction therapy, they relapse within two years of achieving complete remission with induction therapy, or they have certain poor risk features at diagnosis. The AML cells will also be positive for c-kit (a stem cell factor receptor), which is involved in cancer cell growth. Nilotinib is a drug that blocks the effects of c-kit. Using this drug in combination with chemotherapy may improve ability of the chemotherapy drugs to kill leukemia cells. This may then increase the chances of the leukemia going into complete remission.
A continuation study of sirolimus and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for graft-vs-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis for patients undergoing matched related allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for acute and chronic leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), high risk non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), or Hodgkin lymphoma (HL)
