Filter by:Myeloid Sarcoma (or granulocytic Sarcoma or Chloroma) is well defined by the WHO. However, there are currently no data about the prevalence, sites of occurence and thr prognostic value for patients with AML with this finding. Information about this condition is based on retrospective analyses since there have been no studies trying to define the role of myeloid sarcoma in AML so far. This observational trial will include adult patients with newly diagnosed and relapsed AML in order to perform 18FDG-PET-CT imaging prior to induction chemotherapy. Furthermore, a second 18FDG-PET-CT will be performed after induction chemotherapy to define the responsiveness of these tumors to chemotherapy. The primary endpoint of this study is the prevalence of 18FDG-PET-CT positive extramedullary AML manifestations (myeloid sarcoma) in patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed AML.
RATIONALE: Deferasirox may remove excess iron from the body caused by blood transfusions. PURPOSE: This clinical trial studies deferasirox in treating iron overload caused by blood transfusions in patients with hematologic malignancies.
Allogeneic transplant from a matched sibling for the treatment of a variety of illnesses including bone marrow failure states, leukemias, myelodysplastic or myeloproliferative syndromes, lymphoma, or myeloma using a nonmyeloablative preparative regimen.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if omacetaxine given with cytarabine can help to control the disease in patients with AML or high-risk MDS. The safety of the study drugs will also be studied.
To determine whether the WT1 vaccine causes an immune response which is safe and able to keep the leukemia from coming back.
Phase 1-2 dose escalation randomized study in patients with intermediate or high risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). The Dose Escalation Segment will evaluate the biological activity, preliminary safety and efficacy of SGI-110 with two dosing schedules in MDS and AML patients while the Dose Expansion Segment will further evaluate safety and efficacy at the biological effective dose (BED) or maximum tolerated dose (MTD)as defined in the Dose Escalation Segment.
The trial is a multi-centre, open-label, safety and tolerability extension trial to the IPH2101-101 (previously NN1975-1733) first human dose trial completed with a larger subject pool at an optimal dose level. The trial is conducted in elderly Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) patients over the age of 60 years, in complete remission, and who are not eligible for allogeneic stem-cell transplantation. The dose given to the individual patient will be the same as the patient received in the single dose trial IPH2101-101 and 1 mg/kg or 2 mg/kg for the 12 patients in an additional cohort.
This phase I clinical trial is studying the side effects and the best dose of lenalidomide after donor bone marrow transplant in treating patients with high-risk hematologic cancer. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing.
This phase II trial is studying how well AKT inhibitor MK-2206 works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). AKT inhibitor MK-2206 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This phase II trial studies how well sorafenib tosylate and chemotherapy work in treating older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as daunorubicin hydrochloride 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 sorafenib tosylate and combination chemotherapy may be an effective treatment for AML.
