Filter by:This is a single center, "modified standard design" dose escalation study designed to determine the maximum tolerated, minimum efficacious dose (MTD/MED) of IL-15 (Intravenous Recombinant Human IL-15) and incidence of donor natural killer (NK) cell expansion by day +14 when given after haploidentical donor NK cells in patients with relapse or refractory acute myelogenous leukemia (AML).
The purpose of this research study is to compare the survival rates of patients with better risk disease undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) to the survival rates reported in the medical literature of similar patients undergoing reduced intensity HSCT from matched related donors.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that epoetin alfa works better than placebo in improving anemia in patients with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). The safety of epoetin alfa will also be evaluated.
This phase II study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of combining two active agents;Revlimid® (lenalidomide) and low dose Vidaza® (azacitidine) for the treatment of patients with low to intermediate-1 MDS excluding patients with 5 q deletion. The rationale for adding Vidaza® (azacitidine) after 3 months of revlimid monotherapy is that combination therapy will result in higher response rates, and potentially longer response duration than that achieved with either agent. STUDY OBJECTIVES: Primary: To determine the safety and tolerability of the combination of Revlimid® (lenalidomide) and low dose Vidaza® (azacitidine) in patients with low - intermediate-1 risk MDS non 5 q deletion who have not responded after 3 months of Revlimid® (lenalidomide) monotherapy Secondary: To determine the response rate in patients with low - intermediate-1 risk MDS non 5 q deletion receiving Revlimid® (lenalidomide) in combination with low dose Vidaza® (azacitidine), as defined by the IWG 2006 Revised Response Criteria
The purpose of this study is to determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of decitabine administered to patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
This is a phase II multi-institutional therapeutic study of NK-cell based nonmyeloablative haploidentical transplantation for the treatment of high-risk acute myeloid diseases. Enrollment will use a two-stage design. Stage 1 will enroll 15 patients unless an early stopping rule is met. If 9 or more of these first 15 patients achieve leukemia free neutrophil engraftment at day +28 accrual will move to stage 2. In stage 2, an additional 28 patients will be enrolled for a total of 43 patients. Patients will be followed for disease response for 2 years.
This is a single institution study of fludarabine and busulfan versus fludarabine, busulfan and low dose total body irradiation in patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation. A study population of 80 subjects will be enrolled from The John Theurer Cancer Center at Hackensack University Medical Center. Subjects who are eligible to receive allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation according to the eligibility criteria will be consented and enrolled. Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive one of 2 conditioning regimen: fludarabine and busulfan, or fludarabine busulfan and low dose total body irradiation (TBI). Subjects will be followed until 1 year post transplantation to assess the relapse rate in each arm and transplant-related toxicity. The combination of fludarabine and busulfan is the current standard of care for patients with myeloid malignancies (AML, CML and other myeloproliferative disorders, or MDS) undergoing allogeneic transplantation at HUMC. In this study we will be comparing in a randomized fashion the standard regimen to a regimen of fludarabine, busulfan and TBI.
The purpose of this study is to provide an opportunity for patients with malignancies or bone marrow failure states who lack a suitable sibling donor to undergo allogeneic hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation using cells from unrelated individuals or cord blood registries.
Genzyme will evaluate/monitor the off label transplant use of plerixafor using data in the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) registry. Off-label use of plerixafor will be collected for data entered over a 5 year time span (i.e., data entered into the registry between the date of European Union (EU) marketing authorization [31 July 2009] and 31 July 2014). The EBMT is a non-profit, scientific society representing more than 600 transplant centers mainly in Europe. The EBMT promotes all activity aiming to improve stem cell transplantation or cellular therapy, which includes registering all the activity relating to stem cell transplants. Data are entered, managed, and maintained in a central database with internet access; each EBMT center is represented in this database. The collection by the EBMT registry of reasons for the off-label transplant use of plerixafor shall provide information of a substantial number of patients who are representative of the patient population receiving plerixafor off-label.
The primary objective was to assess the superiority of darbepoetin alfa versus placebo on the incidence of red blood cell transfusions during the 24-week double-blind treatment period in anemic patients with low or intermediate-1 risk MDS.
