Filter by:In other clinical studies, ON 01910.Na has been safely given intravenously to Patients with advanced cancers. However, to treat some Patients, it may be better if ON 01910.Na could be given by mouth. This study will determine if it is safe to give ON 01910.Na by mouth, what is the highest dose can be safely given by mouth, and how much of the drug gets from the stomach into the blood stream when it is given by mouth.
Azacitidine has proved prolonged overall survival in patients with high-risk MDS. Minor pilot studies have shown that treatment with Azacitidine can induce transfusion independency in previous transfusion dependent patients with low-risk MDS. This study will evaluate the effect of Azacitidine in transfusion dependent patients with low-risk MDS (IPSS low or int-1) or low risk CMML. Included patients should first have failed, or considered not being eligible to, treatment with EPO +/- G-CSF. Our hypothesis is that Azacitidine can lead to transfusion independency in this group of patients. Those patients who do not respond to treatment with Azacitidine alone, will be given treatment with the combination of Azacitidine and EPO where our hypothesis is that Azacitidine can restore sensitivity to EPO.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of decitabine (Dacogen) intravenous injection in patients with Myelodysplastic Syndrome.
This is an open-label, single-arm, multicentre, prospective study of darbepoetin alfa to treat anaemia in patients with low and intermediate-1 IPSS risk MDS. The study will consist of a 14-day screening period followed by a maximum 24-week treatment period and a final visit.
This phase II trial studies how well donor peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplant works in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. Cyclophosphamide when added to tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil is safe and effective in preventing severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in most patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing transplantation of bone marrow from half-matched (haploidentical) donors. This approach has extended the transplant option to patients who do not have matched related or unrelated donors, especially for patients from ethnic minority groups. The graft contains cells of the donor's immune system which potentially can recognize and destroy the patient's cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Rejection of the donor's cells by the patient's own immune system is prevented by giving low doses of chemotherapy (fludarabine phosphate and cyclophosphamide) and total-body irradiation before transplant. Patients can experience low blood cell counts after transplant. Using stem cells and immune cells collected from the donor's circulating blood may result in quicker recovery of blood counts and may be more effective in treating the patient's disease than using bone marrow.
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (AlloSCT) followed by targeted immune therapy Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML)/juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML)/myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) will be safe and well tolerated.
350 patients with early leukemias were assigned to receive peripheral blood or bone marrow transplantation; the occurrence of acute and chronic graft versus host disease, survival, transplantation-related mortality, and relapse rates were compared.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether addition of AS101 to the standard chemotherapy regimen is effective in the treatment of newly diagnosed elderly (≥60) AML patients and AML transformed myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients.
This is a Phase I trial for patients with intermediate or high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The study agent, clofarabine, is produced by Genzyme Pharmaceuticals.
This is a genetic disease (transmitted through the parents' genes) called Fanconi Anemia. Because of that genetic disease, the bone marrow has changed and now has failed, or has given rise to a preleukemia called myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or leukemia (acute myelogenous leukemia or AML). Without treatment these complications of Fanconia anemia (FA) are fatal. The only treatment that can cure these complications is an allogeneic transplant of stem cells, meaning, giving the patient bone marrow cells from a healthy donor that can produce normal blood cells that will replace the bone marrow that is sick. What has been given for the treatment of FA in the past is to use a combination of low doses of radiation to the whole body (total body irradiation) and low doses of the chemotherapy drugs (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine) before the transplant. However, the use of radiation can, later on, increase the chances of getting a second cancer of the skin, head or the neck. These chances of a second cancer are higher than normal in patients with FA. The purpose of this study is to find out if the doctors can do the same thing with the same chemotherapy drugs used in the past. However physicians will use another chemotherapy drug called busulfan instead of the radiation. The goal of this study is to get rid of the short term and long term risks of the radiation. The first new part of this treatment will be to replace drugs for radiation with chemotherapy drugs.
