Filter by:Current therapeutic results in advanced chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are rather disappointing. Most of these patients will eventually undergo allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Nilotinib is a novel TKI tyrosine kinase inhibitor with 30 fold more potency than Imatinib. Based on previous preliminary experience the author we rationalize that Nilotinib therapy pre- allogeneic transplantation for patients with advanced CML and Ph+ALL will reduce tumor mass pre- transplant achieving a state of minimal residual disease (MRD) and therefore may improve transplantation outcome without increasing toxicity. In addition it will allow time for improving patient medical condition and for finding an unrelated donor which will enable allogeneic transplantation , and to induce anti tumor effect post PBSC w\o DLI ( donor lymphocyte infusion)
RATIONALE: Providing information that is tailored to answer patients' questions about clinical trials may help patients with cancer decide to enroll in a clinical trial. It is not known whether providing personalized information is more effective than basic information in helping patients make decisions about clinical trials. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying personalized information to see how well it works compared with basic information in helping patients make decisions about participating in a clinical trial.
This is a four-part dose-escalation and confirmation study in participants with advanced solid tumors. Part A is for dose escalation and determination of maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of MK-4827. Part B is a prostate/ovarian cancer cohort expansion. Part C is for a cohort of participants with relapsed or refractory T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL) or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Part D will be for a cohort of participants with locally advanced or metastatic colorectal carcinoma (CRC), persistent or recurrent endometrial carcinoma, locally advanced or metastatic triple negative or highly proliferative estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer, or partially platinum-sensitive epithelial ovarian cancer. The study is also designed to find out whether MK-4827 causes at least 50% inhibition of poly adenosine diphosphate ribose polymerase (PARP) enzyme activity.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ofatumumab added to chlorambucil in patients with untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.
This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter crossover study to determine the oral bioavailability of new ABT-263 formulations relative to that of the current ABT-263 formulation being administered in ongoing Phase 1/2a studies. Approximately 36 evaluable subjects with lymphoid malignancies, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and solid tumors will be enrolled in this study.
This phase II trial studies the side effects and best dose of bortezomib when given together with daunorubicin and cytarabine and to see how well it works in treating older patients with previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as daunorubicin 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.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and safety of different doses of intravenous and oral Forodesine in children with relapsed or refractory T-cell or B-cell precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia or T-cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Preliminary efficacy will also be assessed.
This is an open-label study to evaluate safety, tolerability, efficacy and PK profile of ofatumumab monotherapy in Japanese follicular lymphoma (FL) or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients. subject will receive ofatumumab 8 weekly infusions.
RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy, such as fludarabine, busulfan, and cyclophosphamide, together with antithymocyte globulin before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer and abnormal cells. Giving chemotherapy before or after transplant also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer and abnormal cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil after the transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well stem cell transplant works in treating patients with hematological cancer or other disorders.
This study will determine the activity of decitabine, low dose cytarabine (ARA-C) and G-CSF for patients with myelodysplasia and leukemia.
