Filter by:This clinical trial studies decitabine and cytarabine in treating older patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome that is likely to come back or spread to other places in the body, or myeloproliferative neoplasm. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as decitabine and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving decitabine and cytarabine may work better than standard therapies in treating cancers of the bone marrow and blood cells, such as acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or myeloproliferative neoplasm.
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation followed by targeted immune therapy with Gemtuzumab Ozogamicin (Mylotarg) will be given to patients with average risk AML or MDS.
Contrast-enhanced abdominal CT will be performed 1-2 weeks after allogeneic stem cell transplant, and radiographic evidence of mucosal inflammation will be correlated with the subsequent development of acute graft versus host disease. The primary endpoint is the feasibility and safety of contrast-enhanced abdominal CT in the early post-transplant period, as defined by the risk of contrast-related nephropathy or allergic reaction.
This is a 4-stage, non-randomized, open-label, dose escalation and expansion, multicenter study. A cycle of therapy is 21 days. Stage 1 was a dose-escalation stage. During Stages 2-4, patients are treated at the MTD or maximum tested dose at which multiple DLTs are not observed during Stage 1.
In patients with Core Binding Factors Acute Myelogenous Leukemia, the level of Minimal Residual Disease after chemotherapy is predictive of relapse. The relapse risk is also increased in case of mutations of receptors tyrosine kinase. For patients with a high Minimal Residual Disease level at the end of consolidation or in molecular relapse, maintenance by the inhibitor dasatinib is proposed.
To evaluate the response to chemotherapy with the drug decitabine combined with rapamycin in the treatment of relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia in patients of all ages, and in the treatment of newly diagnosed leukemia in those who are older than 65 when diagnosed.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether F-18 FLT PET/CT is useful in early response assessment of induction chemotherapy in acute myeloid leukemia patients.
High-dose cytarabine (HiDAC) is considered a standard chemotherapy treatment for patients with acute myeloid leukemia. However, most patients receiving this therapy are required to be admitted to the hospital during their treatment course. The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and cost of high-dose cytarabine treatment given in an in-patient setting versus an out-patient setting.
This open label, Phase I study of RO6839921 is a dose-escalation study with two arms. Prior to investigations in either arm, patients in a single cohort, Cohort 0, will receive non-escalating, intravenous (IV) doses of RO6839921 daily on Days 1-5 of a 28-day cycle. Interim PK and safety data from this cohort will be evaluated before initiating dose-escalation. In arm A, RO6839921 will be given to patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies. In Arm B, RO6839921 will be given to patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The arms will escalate independently. Escalation will begin in solid tumor patients (Arm A) in single patient cohorts, using a new Continual Reassessment Method (n-CRM). Escalation for AML patients will be initiated at or below the dose level that causes >/= Grade 2 hematologic side effects in Arm A. Escalation in AML patients will follow a rolling 6 design. In both arms, RO6839921 will be administered by IV infusion on Days 1-5 of 28-day cycles. There will be no intrapatient dose escalation. All patients may be treated until disease progression/relapse or unacceptable toxicity.
This is a Phase I trial investigating the safety of using thioridazine in addition to cytarabine in elderly patients with relapsed or refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
