Filter by:Prospective randomized study of allogeneic minitransplantation from HLA-identical family or unrelated donors comparing unmanipulated or CD8-depleted PBSC. The conditioning regimen will be 2 Gy TBI alone (related donor with low-risk of transplant rejection) or 2 Gy TBI and 3 x 30 mg/m2 fludarabine (unrelated donor or high risk of transplant rejection). Patients will receive a short but intensive immunosuppressive treatment (cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil) to ensure both graft-versus-host and host-versus-graft tolerance. The rationale for using PBSC instead of marrow transplant is to avoid general anesthesia of the donor and to minimize the risk of rejection. The rationale for CD8+ depletion is to diminish the risk of GVHD after PBSC transplantation or DLI.
The purpose of this study is to determine if MultiStem® can safely be given to patients with acute leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, or myelodysplasia after they have received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cell depletion in a donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) product with the use of the CliniMACS machine. Previously, patients with hematologic malignancies who have relapsed after transplant have been given infusions of donor white blood cells calsed donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) as a way to boost their immune function and fight cancer. Information from other research studies suggests that lowering the number of a certain type of white blood cell called CD25+ Tregs in the DLI may allow for a greater effect. In this research study, we are looking for the appropriate dose of DLI depleted of the CD25+ Treg white blood cells that can be given safely.
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose or a recommended dose of oral AP24534 in a defined schedule in patients with refractory or advanced chronic myelogenous leukemia and other refractory hematologic malignancies.
Primary objective: To determine the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of TCN-PM (Triciribine) when administered as an approximately one-hour intravenous infusion on a weekly schedule on days 1, 8 and 15 in a 28 day cycle in patients with advanced hematologic malignancies; To determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of Triciribine following study drug administration. Secondary objective: To observe the anti-tumor effects of Triciribine, if any occur
Primary: Define the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of VNP40401M when given with hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) Secondary: - Describe the change in pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters with increasing doses of drug. - Describe and estimate the frequency of > Grade 3 non-hematologic/non-infectious toxicities at the MTD. - Report the efficacy of the regimen. - Evaluate the rate of engraftment for the regimen.
The hypothesis of the study is double unit umbilical cord blood transplantation in adults will be associated with a one year survival rate of at least 40%.
Objectives: 1. To determine the relative toxicities, engraftment potential, kinetics of engraftment, degree of chimerism and disease control achieved with the combination of fludarabine and busulfan at different dose levels and different dose schedules in patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT). 2. Determine pharmacokinetics, and toxicity of intravenous busulfan given at equal total dose levels given four times daily, or once daily. 3. In vivo determination of fludarabine inhibitory effects on DNA repair.
The objective of this trial is to determine whether a regimen of pentostatin and busulfan (IV) can facilitate engraftment of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) partially compatible siblings and unrelated donor transplants by using CD4+ laboratory-guided immunosuppression among 41 transplant patients meeting the inclusion criteria.
This is a phase trial to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of clofarabine in a combination with a myeloablative dose of busulfan. This is an initial step in developing a novel myeloablative preparative regimen for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). While this phase I trial will initially develop the regimen in patients with refractory disease, it is expected that it will find its best application in patients with less advanced disease
