Filter by:The study will compare the efficacy of the 2 treatments in intermediate and high-risk APL patients in achieving first hematological complete remission and molecular remission.
The goal of this clinical study is to learn if Pegasys (pegylated interferon) or Roferon (interferon) can make the Trivalent Inactivated Influenza vaccine (TIV) more effective in increasing the body's immune reaction against the flu virus in patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL).
Identification of alterations potentially involved in the complex mechanisms of leukemogenesis and at the identification and validation of novel biological factors which may serve as predictors of drug-response and drug-resistance or which may be suitable for targeted therapy.
Feasibility and toxicity of haploidentical allogeneic HCT after a reduced intensity conditioning regimen with CD3/CD19 depleted grafts. This study enrolls patients with acute leukemia in complete remission with an indication for allogeneic HCT but without a suitable HLA-identical donor
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if NOV-002 can help to restore bone marrow and blood levels in patients who have MDS. The safety of this drug will also be studied.
RATIONALE: Gathering information about patients with childhood hematologic cancer or aplastic anemia treated with dapsone may help doctors learn more about risk factors for developing methemoglobinemia. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying methemoglobinemia in patients with childhood hematologic cancer or aplastic anemia treated with dapsone.
RATIONALE: A study that evaluates participants' beliefs about smokeless tobacco products and nicotine replacement therapy may be useful in helping smokers stop smoking. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the acceptability of less harmful alternatives to cigarettes.
The goal of this study is to find a safe dose of sirolimus that can be used with a standard dose of L-asparaginase. To find the safe dose, the investigators will give the first patient a very small dose of sirolimus (smaller than the dose used in organ transplant children) and the standard dose of L-asparaginase. The investigators will then look for side effects. If side effects develop, the investigators will decrease the dose of sirolimus. If they do not, the investigators will increase the dose of sirolimus in the next patient on the study. The investigators will continue this method until fewer than one-third of patients have a side effect that would require stopping the drug or changing the dose. The investigators plan to enroll up to 15 children with relapsed ALL. The enrolled patients must have recovered from other treatment before starting this study. Also, they cannot have severe side effects from their earlier therapy that will possibly make these drugs less safe. The investigators will collect information on whether these drugs help to cure the ALL, but the purpose will be to find a dose of sirolimus that does not cause too many side effects when combined with L-asparaginase. This will be explained to the families and they will sign a written consent. The patients will provide either verbal or written assent when appropriate.
RATIONALE: Collecting information about the effect of hematologic cancer and its treatment on quality of life may help doctors learn more about the disease and plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying quality of life in younger leukemia and lymphoma survivors.
The purpose of the study is to find out what effects (good and bad) Gleevec® (Imatinib mesylate) combined with chemotherapy has on participants and their acute myeloid leukemia.
