Filter by:RATIONALE: Studying a diagnostic biomarker test in blood samples from patients who have undergone a donor stem cell transplant for cancer may help doctors plan treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying an immunologic diagnostic blood test to see how well it works in predicting side-effects in patients with hematologic cancer or other disorders who have undergone a donor stem cell transplant.
RATIONALE: RAD001(Everolimus) may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for their growth and by blocking blood flow to the cancer. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well RAD001(everolimus) works in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndromes.
This is a prospective, randomized multicenter phase III clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and activity of comparison between Erythropoietin and Erythropoietin Associated to Differentiating Therapy With Acid 13-Cis-Retinoic and Dihydroxyvitamin D3 in Myelodysplastic Syndromes Without Excess of Blasts
This is a prospective, multicenter phase II trial designed to evaluate the safety and activity of the combination of association of arsenic trioxide (ATO) and ascorbic acid in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes
RATIONALE: Giving total marrow and total lymph node irradiation together with low doses of chemotherapy before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of total marrow and total lymph node irradiation when given together with fludarabine and melphalan followed by donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with advanced hematological cancer that has not responded to treatment.
The goal of the Phase I part of this clinical research study is to find the highest safe dose of bendamustine that can be given to patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), Chronic myelogenous (or myeloid) leukemia (CML) in blastic phase, Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML), and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). The goal of the Phase II part of this clinical research study is to learn if bendamustine can help to control AML, ALL and MDS. The safety of this drug will continue to be studied.
This study will be used to determine the maximum tolerated dose of oral clofarabine when administered daily for 14 consecutive days repeated every 21 days.
This study will determine the activity of decitabine, low dose cytarabine (ARA-C) and G-CSF for patients with myelodysplasia and leukemia.
RATIONALE: Methadone, morphine, or oxycodone may help relieve pain caused by cancer. It is not yet known whether methadone is more effective than morphine or oxycodone in treating pain in patients with cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying methadone to see how well it works compared with morphine or oxycodone in treating pain in patients with cancer.
RATIONALE: A donor peripheral stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Once the donated stem cells begin working, the patient's immune system may see the remaining cancer cells as not belonging in the patient's body and destroy them. Giving an infusion of donor T cells may helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of donor T cells in treating patients with high-risk hematologic cancer who are undergoing donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant. Note: Only Phase I portion of study was performed. Due to slow accrual, study was closed before Phase II portion of study.
