Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the effects (good and bad) of the medication basiliximab in combination with cyclosporine (investigational therapy) for the prevention of a complication of bone marrow transplantation known as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). GVHD is a complication in which the cells of the transplanted bone marrow react against organs and tissues.
The goal of this clinical research study is to compare the effectiveness of receiving a combination of ondansetron and aprepitant to receiving ondansetron alone in helping to prevent nausea and/or vomiting in patients with Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk (HR) Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) who are receiving cytarabine. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied.
This is a two-part safety and efficacy study of SKI-606 in subjects who have Philadelphia chromosome positive leukemias (CML). Part 1 will be a dose-escalation study, in which an escalating dose of SKI-606 (Bosutinib), up to 600 mg, will be studied in subjects with imatinib resistant/refractory or imatinib intolerant chronic phase CML. Part 2 will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of SKI-606 (Bosutinib)identified in Part 1 of the study.
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of TAK-901 in subjects with advanced hematological malignancies, and to further assess the safety and tolerability of TAK-901 at or below the MTD in an expanded cohort of subjects in order to select a dose for future studies.
There is no available data on the clinical benefit of dose escalation for patients with suboptimal response to imatinib, and patients may still improve their response with continuation of therapy at the standard dose as shown in the IRIS trial after 5 years of follow-up. However, there is no data yet regarding the potential benefit of using nilotinib in the group of patients with suboptimal response. In this study, the efficacy of nilotinib 400mg BID will be compared to imatinib 600mg QD.
The primary goal of this study is to determine the rate of confirmed best cumulative complete molecular response within the first year of study therapy with imatinib or nilotinib. The study will also explore the impact and significance of the achieved CMR on patient outcomes (PFS, EFS and OS), characterize the kinetics of CMR achieved in both treatment arms and after the cross-over.
The traditional way of doing a donor transplant is to give high doses of chemotherapy and radiation before giving the stem cells. However, high doses of chemotherapy and radiation can have serious side-effects. The doctors think that the transplant will be safer and more likely to be successful with reduced doses of chemotherapy and radiation. The purpose of this study is to find out how good a combination of chemotherapy and radiation at reduced doses followed by a cord blood transplant are at treating cancer. The stem cells chosen for the transplant are from umbilical cord blood. Umbilical cord blood is collected from healthy newborn babies and frozen. One cord blood collection is called a "cord blood unit." On transplant day, the cord blood will be given through the catheter just like a blood transfusion. Transplants done this way have been successful. However, this type of transplant is fairly new. Therefore, it is important to study it so the doctors can better understand how it works. Most blood or bone marrow transplants using donor stem cells are done as part of a study. When patients are on a study we test new ways of treating them which we think may be better than the old ways. We collect information about the result of this treatment so we can understand how well the treatment works. This is so we can learn better ways to treat our patients.
This phase II trial is studying how well umbilical cord blood transplant from a donor works in treating patients with hematological cancer. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation (TBI) before a donor umbilical cord blood transplant helps stop the growth of cancer and abnormal cells and helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from an unrelated donor, that do not exactly match the patient's blood, are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease). Giving cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil before and after transplant may stop this from happening.
This study consists of two phases: the first portion of the study is a Phase 1 dose escalation study to determine the maximum tolerated dose and the dose limiting toxicities of SB1518 when given as a single agent orally once daily in subjects with advanced myeloid malignancies; the second portion of the study is a Phase 2 study to define the efficacy and safety profile of single-agent SB1518 at the recommended dose in subjects with chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis (CIMF).
One of two different doses of thymoglobulin will allow bone marrow engraftment with minimal Graft-versus-Host Disease and allow adequate immune response to allow the transplanted stem cells to replace the tumor cells.
