Filter by:This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of vosaroxin when given together with azacitidine in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndromes. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vosaroxin and azacitidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
The investigators' primary objective is to study prevalences of myocardial iron overload, defined as a cardiac T2*< 20 ms, in 3 populations of multiply transfused patients, affected with thalassemia, sickle cell disease, and myelodysplasia.
To identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of oral azacitidine on different treatment schedules in Japanese subjects with hematological neoplasms
The study will enroll low risk MDS patients who need red blood cell transfusions and who are refractory to or are not using erythropoiesis-stimulating agents. The purpose of the study is to determine whether oral rigosertib treatment results in hematological improvements according to the 2006 International Working Group criteria in these patients. The study will also record any side effects that may occur during the study.
Allogeneic transplantation is used to treat many malignant and non-malignant diseases. The investigators and others have shown that less toxic preparative regimens (reduced intensity or 'mini' transplants) allow reliable allogeneic engraftment and durable remissions, significantly broadening the population of patients who may be offered this therapy to those who are older and more infirmed. The field is now focusing on the period post transplant for approaches to immune recovery leading to improved outcomes. The primary objective of this registry is to catalogue data from patients who undergo standard of care reduced intensity allogeneic transplantation.
This phase I/II studies the side effects and best dose of natural killer cells before and after donor stem cell transplant and to see how well they work in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or chronic myelogenous leukemia. Giving chemotherapy with or without total body irradiation before a donor peripheral blood stem cell or bone marrow transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells and natural killer 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.
This pilot clinical trial studies 6, 8-bis (benzylthio) octanoic acid (CPI-613) in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndromes who failed previous therapy. Sometimes when chemotherapy or biological therapy is given, it does not stop the growth of tumor cells. The tumor is said to be resistant to treatment. 6, 8-bis (benzylthio) octanoic acid may interfere with the growth of tumor cells and may be an effective treatment for myelodysplastic syndromes that did not respond to previous therapy.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of ruxolitinib that can be given to patients with low or intermediate-1 risk MDS. The safety of this drug will also be studied, and whether it can help to control the disease.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well treosulfan and fludarabine phosphate, with or without total body irradiation before donor stem cell transplant works in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia. Giving chemotherapy, such as treosulfan and fludarabine phosphate, and total-body irradiation 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). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving tacrolimus before and mycophenolate mofetil after the transplant may stop this from happening.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if eltrombopag can help to control MDS. The safety of this drug will also be studied.
