PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well beclomethasone dipropionate works in preventing acute graft-versus-host disease in patients undergoing a donor stem cell transplant for hematologic cancer.
The study is designed with drugs used frequently in the treatment of AML, but with a new combination less toxic,and effective in AML multidrug resistant. Justification: - The AML patients with primary resistance or relapsed in the first 12 months after CR, have second line chemotherapy low response rate . - These patients with AML with primary resistance or relapse, that reach remission after a rescue treatment, have an interval free survival and a global survival very short - Probably the resistance to the treatments is in relation to different forms expression of the MDR. - Complete remission is considered valid evaluation, because every patient who should obtain a CR can be considered to be eligible for a possible curative treatment: Ara-C administration to high doses or the TPH treatment
LCH III is an international, multicentric, prospective clinical study comprised of: - a randomized clinical trial for multisystem "RISK" patients and - a randomized clinical trial for multisystem "LOW RISK" patients and - a pilot study for patients with single system MFB and localized "SPECIAL SITES"
This study will test the safety and effectiveness of two vaccines on slowing disease progression, improving blood counts, reducing the need for transfusions of blood and platelets, or achieving remission in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS, also known as myelodysplasia), acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The vaccines consist of peptides (parts of proteins) found in MDS, AML and CML stem cells, combined with a substance called "MontanideTM". They are administered with granulocyte- macrophage colony- stimulating factor (GM-CSF). The Montanide and the GM-CSF help the immune system respond to the vaccines. People 18 years of age or older with MDS, AML or CML may be eligible for this study. Participants receive six injections of the vaccines, one dose every other week for a total of 10 weeks. The injections are given in the upper arm, upper leg, or abdomen. A separate injection of GM-CSF is given in the same area as the vaccine injections. Subjects are observed for 2 hours after the first vaccination and at least 30 minutes after each subsequent vaccination for allergic reactions. In addition to the vaccination, subjects undergo the following: - History and physical exam, chest x-ray, blood tests and bone marrow aspirate and biopsy before starting the vaccinations. - Safety monitoring during vaccine administration (every other week for 10 weeks) with blood tests and check of vital signs. - Follow-up safety monitoring (weeks 12 and 16) with blood tests every visit, chest x-ray at week 12 and bone marrow biopsy visit 16.
Association group of therapeutic specialities authorized in a remission induction treatment(FLAG-IDA: fludarabine, cytarabine, G-CSF (lenograstim) and idarubicin) and an intensive postremission treatment with authorized therapeutic association specialities and with/without Autologous Hemopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation or Bone Marrow Transplantation in Patients With High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes or Secondary Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia.
The primary purpose of this study is to find out what the maximum tolerated dose is for an experimental drug called AZD4877 based on the side effects experienced by patients that receive AZD4877 on a daily times 3 schedule in acute myelogenous leukemia (AML).

This is a Phase 2, open-label, multicenter, efficacy, safety, and pharmacodynamic study of CX-3543 in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
Improved outcome of high risk lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with laite high dose therapy. High dose versus conventional therapy for adult low risk T-ALL and Lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL).
Primary Objectives: 1. To determine the response rate, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival of patients who receive 2-CdA + Ara-C. 2. To examine if there is any clonality in the cytokine expression of helper T cells or cytokine receptor expression of eosinophils. 3. To determine the effect of 2-CdA on accumulation of Ara-C triphosphate in eosinophils.
Open label, randomised, phase III multicenter trial.
