Filter by:These study is designed to evaluate the tolerability and efficacy of sirolimus (rapamycin) in combination with low-dose aracytin in elderly AML.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of different doses of XL844 when given orally to adults with recurrent or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as azacitidine and arsenic trioxide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of azacitidine when given together with arsenic trioxide and to see how well they work in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndromes.
RATIONALE: Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as G-CSF, helps stem cells move from the bone marrow to the blood so they can be collected and stored until transplant. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects of G-CSF in stimulating peripheral stem cells for autologous stem cell transplant in treating patients with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia in remission.
Chemotherapy drugs use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Zosuquidar may help Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin (GO) kill more cancer cells by making cancer cells more sensitive to the drug. It is not known whether Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin (GO) is more effective with or without zosuquidar in treating acute myeloid leukemia.
- CpG has the potential to stimulate the immune system - this study will evaluate the safety of CpG given sub-q or IV - purpose is to measure biological changes in CLL cells after receiving CpG
The safety and efficacy of midostaurin (PKC412), a novel investigational drug, will be evaluated on the basis of response rate, when administered to patients with aggressive systemic mastocytosis (ASM) or mast cell leukemia (MCL)
The purpose of this study is to conduct an analysis of the influences of 1. conventional chemotherapy 2. high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant 3. high-dose chemotherapy followed by allogeneic stem cell transplant on the recovery of the immune system. Detailed analysis will help to better understand the pathways of recovery of the immune system following chemotherapy as well as the pathways of recovery of the immune system following autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide in previously untreated CLL patients. Participants will receive fludarabine and cyclophosphamide on days 1, 2, and 3 of six 28-day cycles.
The allograft of marrow in its technique of reference (myélo-ablative (MA) condition by cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation (TBI) with strong amounts) therapeutic is recognized acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) of the adult for the patients of less than 55 years, because it offers chances of cure higher than chemotherapy or the auto-graft. However, mortality related to the traditional graft is approximately 30% to 1 year. The recent use of the non-myélo-ablative graft (NMA), in which the anti-leukaemia effect rests exclusively on the allogenic effect "graft-versus-leukaemia" makes it possible to obtain among patients of more than 55 years in complete reemission (CR), survivals without relapses comparable with the traditional allograft among patients of more than 35 years. The major interest of NMA graft is to reduce early mortality related to the graft. This reduction should be all the more significant as the patient is younger, and thus bring to a better survival. There is not, at the present hour, of prospective comparative study of the two procedures of graft. Taking into account the results observed after NMA graft among patients of more than 55 years, and taking into account the toxicity of the standard graft between 35 and 55 years, it is essential to now compare the 2 approaches among patients who do not have a counter-indication for one or the other, in the age bracket where the toxicity of the traditional graft is highest.
