Filter by:RATIONALE: Vaccines made from the patient's cancer cells may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells. Giving vaccine therapy together with donor lymphocyte infusion after a stem cell transplant from the patient's brother or sister may kill any cancer cells that remain after transplant. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects, best dose, and how well vaccine therapy with or without donor lymphocyte infusion works in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or multiple myeloma undergoing donor stem cell transplant.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safest dose of the BCR-ABL inhibitor XL228, how often it should be taken, and how well people with leukemia tolerate XL228.
In order to distinguish between clonal instability driven by imatinib in CML and actual changes with secondary clones induced by imatinib we would like to investigate the karyotype of non-CML patients treated with imatinib such as GIST patients.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if giving pentostatin with alemtuzumab can help to control T-cell malignancy. The safety of this combination therapy will also be studied.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of LBH589B in adult patients with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia with resistant disease following treatment with at least two BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of LBH589B in adult patients with chronic myeloid leukemia who are in accelerated phase or blast phase (blast crisis) with resistant disease following treatment with at least two BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors
This is a phase I/II study of an investigational drug called ABT-751, produced by Abbott Laboratories, given in combination with chemotherapy drugs used to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that has come back (recurred). The phase I portion of this study is being done to find the highest dose of ABT-751 that can be given safely in combination with other chemotherapy drugs. A safe dose is one that does not result in unacceptable side effects. After a safe dose for ABT-751 given with chemotherapy has been found, the study will add additional patients to find out if ABT-751 (given at the maximal safe dose) when given with additional chemotherapy is an effective therapy for the treatment of children with relapsed ALL. It is expected that approximately 15-35 children and young adults will take part in this study.
This is a Phase I, multi-center, open-label, dose escalation, MTD study of liposomal annamycin in children and young adults with refractory or relapsed ALL or AML. Enrollment will occur in cohorts of approximately 3 subjects with 10 additional subjects enrolled at the MTD. The liposomal annamycin doses will be escalated in sequential cohorts. Six dose levels of liposomal annamycin are planned: 130, 160, 190, 230, 280, and 310 mg/m2/day.The primary objectives of this study are 1) to evaluate the safety and identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of liposomal annamycin when given in 3 consecutive daily doses, starting at 130 mg/m2/day and ranging to as high as 310 mg/m2/day, or the MTD, whichever is lower, in children and young adults with refractory or relapsed acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) or acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), and 2) to evaluate the antileukemic activity of liposomal annamycin in children and young adults with refractory or relapsed ALL or AML. The secondary objective is to measure the pharmacokinetics of annamycin and its metabolite, annamycinol.
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a peptide may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well vaccine therapy works in treating patients with chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Forodesine Hydrochloride is effective in treating patients with relapsed/refractory precursor T-Lymphoblastic Leukemia/Lymphoma who have failed two or more prior treatment regimens.
