Filter by:The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy and toxicity including quality of life of two types of low-dose interferon alpha compounds (PegIntron and Pegasys) with hydroxyurea (Hydrea), and to investigate the occurence of neutralizing antibodies against recombinant interferon.
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 goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the combination of ruxolitinib and lenalidomide can help to control MF. The safety of this study drug combination will also be studied. Ruxolitinib is designed to stop certain proteins (called JAK1 and JAK2) that are found in MF cells from sending signals that may lead to the growth of cancer cells. Lenalidomide is designed to change the body's immune system. It may also interfere with the development of tiny blood vessels that help support tumor growth. This may decrease the growth of cancer cells.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of IPI-926 in patients with myelofibrosis (MF) (primary myelofibrosis [PMF], post-polycythemia vera myelofibrosis [post-PV MF], or post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis [post-ET MF]).
This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of simtuzumab (GS-6624) on bone marrow fibrosis either alone or in combination with ruxolitinib in participants with primary myelofibrosis (PMF) and post polycythemia vera or post essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis (ET/PV MF). The study is designed as a two-stage trial. In the stage 1, participants will be randomized into two cohorts to receive either 200 or 700 mg of study drug. In the stage 2, participants on ruxolitinib will be randomized to receive either 200 or 700 mg of study drug.
To evaluate the effects of treatment with ruxolitinib (INCB018424) on spleen volume, symptoms and potential side effects in participants with PMF, PPV-MF and PET-MF who have platelet counts of 50 x 10^9/L to 100 x 10^9/L. It is anticipated that individualized dose optimization from the starting ruxolitinib level of 5 mg bid will be associated with reductions in splenomegaly, MF-associated symptoms and inflammatory cytokine levels.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of ruxolitinib (INCB018424) sustained release (SR) formulation in participants with primary myelofibrosis (PMF), post-polycythemia vera MF (PPV-MF), and post-essential thrombocythemia MF (PET-MF).
Recently, it has been demonstrated that iron overload is associated with the appearance of labile plasma iron (LPI). LPI is redox active and is rapidly taken up by cells, leading to a rise in the labile iron pool (LIP) and catalyzing generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can lead to cellular damage. The LPI data are mostly derived from thalassemia iron overload research , however, there are a few data describing LPI and its correlations with the classical iron overload parameters (ferritin, TSAT) in acute anemias such as MDS Therefore we are going to assess LPI in iron overloaded myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) (low and high risk) and primary myelofibrosis, in order to assess whether it can be used as alternative to the routinely used parameters; TSAT and ferritin levels.
This is a Phase IB, open-label, dose-finding study of the JAK 1 and 2 inhibitor ruxolitinib in patients with myelofibrosis (MF). The study consists of two periods: the core study period, comprising the dose escalation stage and the safety extension phase up to Week 24, then the extension study period beyond Week 24 and up to 3 years, to further characterize the safety and efficacy of ruxolitinib in this patient population. The dose escalation phase will enroll successive cohorts of patients who receive increasing doses of ruxolitinib until the maximum safe starting dose (MSSD) is determined. In the safety expansion phase, additional patients will be treated with ruxolitinib at the MSSD defined during dose escalation. The primary objective is to establish the MSSD of ruxolitinib in patients with MF and starting platelet counts < 100 x 10 ^9/L
LBH589 is an oral drug that targets the myelofibrosis cells in the bone marrow and induces cell death by allowing for the expression of certain suppressed genes that are important in regulating cell survival. Based on laboratory studies, the hypothesis is that this drug will selectively kill the stem cells responsible for causing myelofibrosis and result in reduction in spleen size and ultimately restoration of normal bone marrow function.
