Filter by:The study is a randomized, open-label safety study comparing the use of anidulafungin (200 mg i.v. as initial dose and 100 mg/d i.v. in subsequent doses) vs liposomal amphotericin B (3 mg/kg/d i.v.) in hepatic transplant recipients who have high risk of fungal infection.
RATIONALE: Caspofungin acetate may be effective in treating fungal infections in patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome who are receiving treatment for their cancer. It is not yet known whether caspofungin acetate is more effective when treatment starts after development of a fever or after the infection is shown in laboratory test, chest x-ray, or CT scan. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying the best time to start caspofungin acetate therapy in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome that is newly diagnosed or in first relapse.
RATIONALE: Deferasirox may remove excess iron from the body caused by blood transfusions. PURPOSE: This clinical trial studies deferasirox in treating iron overload caused by blood transfusions in patients with hematologic malignancies.
Panobinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. This phase II trial is studying how well panobinostat works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma
The aim of the study is to determine viable use of caspofungin in post-OLTx patients, and to demonstrate in particular the effectiveness, understood as the ability to reduce the incidence of invasive fungal infections, and to assess the ability to reduce the risk and incidence of side effects (toxicity) which may arise in transplant patients treated with other drugs, especially in individuals recognized as high risk (e.g. renal failure).
The study aims to investigate whether prophylaxis with liposomal amphotericin B (AmBisome®) can reduce the incidence of invasive fungal infections (IFIs) in patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) who are undergoing their first remission induction.
This phase II clinical trial studies how well Akt inhibitor MK2206 works in treating patients with relapsed lymphoma. Akt inhibitor MK2206 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This phase I clinical trial is studying the side effects and the best dose of lenalidomide after donor bone marrow transplant in treating patients with high-risk hematologic cancer. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing.
This will be a retrospective study that includes retrospective chart reviews at major institutions across Canada. The intent of the study is to generate both regional and national incidence data for non-Candida invasive fungal infections (IFI) in high risk subjects. The study will include participants receiving stem cell transplant and high dose chemotherapy treatment for leukemia.
We conducted a prospective, multicenter, open-label randomized trial to compare the antifungal effect of Recombinant Human Granulocyte-macrophage Stimulating Factor (rhGM-CSF), Recombinant Human Granulocyte Stimulating Factor (rhG-CSF) or a combination of rhGM-CSF and rhG-CSF for neutropenic patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
