Filter by:Sorafenib is a multikinase inhibitor which is acting on various cellular pathways involved in the genesis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Sorafenib is therefore a promising candidate for improvement of chemotherapy results in AML. This clinical trial evaluates the efficacy of sorafenib added to standard chemotherapy for AML in patients between 18 and 60 years of age. Patients are randomised to receive either sorafenib capsules or placebo in addition to their chemotherapy. The placebo and the sorafenib group will be compared regarding event-free survival and other clinical outcomes. An event is either treatment failure or relapse or death. According to the study hypothesis, the sorafenib group will have less events than the placebo group.
This is an open label, prospective, single institution dose-escalation study. The patient population includes non-induction candidate elderly patients with AML or MDS and/or patients with high-risk or relapsed/refractory AML or MDS. Five dose cohorts will be evaluated using a fixed dose of ATRA in combination with an escalating dose of dasatinib. The investigators will treat with an escalating dose of dasatinib from 70mg to 140mg daily. Dose escalation will proceed in a standard 3+3 fashion. A de-escalation to a 50 mg total daily dose of dasatinib is planned if DLT is greater than or equal to 33% is observed at the first dose level. Once the MTD for the combination of the drugs has been established, up to 6 additional patients will be enrolled at the MTD level to obtain additional safety information about the combination and to allow for preliminary laboratory correlate analysis.
This study has a phase 1 and a phase 2 component. In phase 1, the objective is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of lenalidomide when after azacitidine. In phase 2, the objective is to determine the efficacy of the combination treatment.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of sunitinib malate in treating human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients with cancer receiving antiretroviral therapy. Sunitinib malate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if Vidaza (azacitidine) will help to control the disease in patients with AML, CMML, or MDS after an allogeneic (donor) stem cell transplant. The safety of this drug will also be studied.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if 5-aza-2 deoxycytidine (decitabine) given in combination with Mylotarg (gemtuzumab ozogamicin) can help to control Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or Myelofibrosis (MF). The safety of this drug combination will also be studied.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of single agent oral panobinostat in patients who have refractory de novo or refractory secondary AML.
The purpose of this study is: 1. To compare priming with Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) during induction and consolidation courses versus no priming. 2. To compare as consolidation timed sequential chemotherapy versus four courses of high dose cytarabine.
An open-label, non-randomized, multi-centre, Phase I/II trial to assess the efficacy and safety of 2 schedules of PXD101 in combination with idarubicin in patients with AML not suitable for standard intensive therapy.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of sorafenib and vorinostat when given together to see what effects (good and bad) it has on the patient and their acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). This study is also being done to find the highest dose of sorafenib and vorinostat that can be given together without causing severe side effects.
