Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of ponatinib in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in chronic phase (CP), accelerated phase (AP) or blast phase (BP) or with philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who either are resistant or intolerant to either dasatinib or nilotinib, or have the (T)hreonine-315-(I)soleucine (T315I) mutation.
The purpose of this study is to confirm whether the bispecific T cell engager blinatumomab (MT103) is effective, safe and tolerable in the treatment of ALL patients with minimal residual disease.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of posaconazole and micafungin in preventing fungal infections after chemotherapy for acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome. When people take chemotherapy, they are more likely to get infections. Posaconazole has been approved for the prevention of fungal infections in patients who receive induction chemotherapy for acute leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome. Posaconazole is available only as an oral suspension and has to be given with food. After chemotherapy, many patients are not able to tolerate food or oral medication because of severe mucositis. Patients unable to tolerate food and oral medications cannot take posaconazole. Micafungin is an antifungal medication that is given only intravenously. Micafungin is approved for the treatment of certain fungal infections and for preventing fungal infections in patients who receive bone marrow transplant. The investigators know that micafungin is safe. Micafungin has not been tested for the prevention of fungal infections in patients receiving chemotherapy for acute leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome. Because micafungin is given by vein, it can be given even in patients who cannot take food or medications by mouth after chemotherapy. In this study the investigators want to compare micafungin to posaconazole when given for the prevention of fungal infections in leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome patients.
The Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Research Consortium (CRC) is conducting a two-arm, multi-center phase II trial of Revlimid® and rituximab for Relapsed or Refractory CLL for patients under the age of 65 and patients 65 years and older. Lenalidomide (Revlimid) is an immunomodulatory agent with promising clinical activity in CLL and is FDA approved for treatment of relapsed multiple myeloma and 5q-myelodysplastic syndrome. Rituximab (Rituxan) is a monoclonal antibody to CD20 that is approved for the treatment of CLL. The primary objective of this study is to determine the overall response rate of the combination of Revlimid® and rituximab in previously treated CLL patients. All patients will receive treatment with Revlimid® starting at a low dose that will be dose escalated based on individual patient tolerability. The combination of Revlimid and Rituximab will be administered for a maximum of 7 cycles. Patients with residual leukemia following seven cycles of treatment with the combination may elect to continue on protocol for an additional 6 cycles of single agent Revlimid® consolidation.
RATIONALE: Infection prophylaxis and management may help prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection caused by a stem cell transplant. PURPOSE:This clinical trial studies infection prophylaxis and management in treating cytomegalovirus infection in patients with hematologic malignancies previously treated with donor stem cell transplant.
The purpose of this study is primarily to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of clofarabine intravenously administered to pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or for whom no other therapy with greater potential clinical benefit exists. The dosing regimen for the intravenous (IV) clofarabine is 30 or 52 mg/m2/day for 5 consecutive days. The secondary objectives are to document the activity of clofarabine and to explore the impact of deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) promoter polymorphism on PK and treatment outcome.
Patients who have relapsed/refractory CLL and require therapy as per iwCLL guidelines will be eligible. Subjects will receive a treatment with ofatumumab and HDMP for three consecutive 4 week cycles. The primary endpoint is to determine the complete response (CR) to therapy and the secondary endpoints will assess the safety and tolerability of the regimen, the impact of the treatment on progression free, treatment free, overall survival, and pharmacokinetics of ofatumumab. Patients will receive allopurinol for tumor-lysis prophylaxis and antimicrobial prophylaxis.
The purpose of the study is to determine if participants who receive the GVHD prophylaxis medication pentostatin will have less severe hepatic toxicities than those receiving MTX. The study is estimated to have sufficient statistical power to ascertain at least a 20% improvement in day 42 NCI CTC grade 2 or above hepatic toxicity-free survival in pentostatin recipients.
The objective of the first part of the study is to determine a safe dose of TRU-016 that can be used in combination with bendamustine in patients with relapsed CLL. The objectives of the second part of the study are to compare the safety and efficacy of TRU-016 in combination with bendamustine to bendamustine alone in patients with relapsed CLL.
The rationale for combining lenalidomide with rituximab derives from preclinical observations suggesting that lenalidomide may enhance the ADCC (antigen-dependent cellular cytotoxicity) triggered by monoclonal antibodies such as rituximab. Lenalidomide augments NK cytotoxicity by increasing CD56dimCD3 subset, in addition to inducing IL-2 in T cells. These results provide the cellular and molecular basis for the use of lenalidomide as an adjuvant in immunotherapeutic strategies of monoclonal antibodies (mAb)-based therapies. The combination lenalidomide-rituximab was tested in lymphoma cell lines but not specifically on CLL cell lines. However the observed synergism was attributed to NK cells expansion, thus lending support to the notion that this synergism may operate in other B-cell lymphoproliferative malignancies. The objective was to develop a non-cytotoxic and effective treatment for CLL that would fulfill an unmet medical need, as a significant proportion of CLL patients are elderly and frail. These patients experience an excess in chemotherapy induced toxicity, often preventing the completion of the planned treatment.
