Filter by:This Phase 1/2 study consists of two parts. The purpose of Part 1 of the study is to examine the safety and tolerability of AKN-028 and to determine the recommended dose of AKN-028 for further evaluation in Part 2 of the study in patients with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML). The purpose of Part 2 of the study is to determine safety and efficacy in patients with AML.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if ponatinib can help to control Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) in accelerated phase. The safety of this drug will also be studied. Ponatinib is designed to block the function of BCR-ABL, which is the abnormal protein responsible for causing leukemia in certain cells. Ponatinib may cause a blood clot to form in an artery or in a vein. Depending on the location of the clot, this could cause a heart attack, a stroke, severe damage to other tissue, or death. A blood clot may occur within 2 weeks after you start taking the drug. About 25% (1 in 4) of patients taking the drug form an abnormal clot. Blood clots can occur in patients that do not have other known risk factors for forming clots. If you develop a blood clot, you will need to stop taking ponatinib. In some cases, emergency surgery could be needed to remove the clot and restore blood flow.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well giving rasburicase together with allopurinol works in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. Rasburicase may reduce the level of uric acid in the blood. Allopurinol may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known which dose of rasburicase is more effective in treating hematologic malignancies when given together with or without allopurinol.
The purpose of this study is to find out the highest safe dose and examine the side effects and effectiveness of eltrombopag olamine in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treated with chemotherapy that have not responded to previous therapy or have suffered a relapse
This phase II clinical trial studies how well two donors stem cell transplant work in treating patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies. After receiving radiation to help further treat the disease, patients receive a dose of donors' T cells. T cells can fight infection and react against cancer cells. Two days after donors' T cells are given, patients receive cyclophosphamide (CY) to help destroy the most active T cells that may cause tissue damage (called graft versus host disease or GVHD). Some of the less reactive T cells are not destroyed by CY and they remain in the patient to help fight infection. A few days after the CY is given, patients receive donors' stem cells to help their blood counts recover. Using two donors' stem cell transplant instead of one donor may be more effective in treating patients with high-risk disease and may prevent the disease from coming back.
This partially randomized phase II trial studies the side effects and best way to give and best dose of cholecalciferol in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) undergoing intensive induction chemotherapy. Cholecalciferol may help improve the outcome of patients with AML undergoing intensive chemotherapy
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the multi-lineage hematopoietic chimerism for unrelated umbilical cord blood (UCB) grafts pooled from two to three cord blood units. Also to evaluate the toxicity, and antitumor responses of pooled unrelated UCB transplants.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if combining Sprycel (dasatinib) and Dacogen (decitabine) can help to control Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML). The dose level of decitabine will also be studied. Dasatinib is designed to block the protein that is responsible for chronic myeloid leukemia. Decitabine is designed to affect the mechanism that cells use to control the expression of certain genes, some of which are important in the progression of CML. This is an investigational study. Dasatinib is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of patients with certain types of CML. Decitabine is FDA approved for the treatment of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome. The combination of these drugs to treat CML is investigational. Up to 84 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.
This study is being conducted in a population of patients with chronic phase Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) to learn more about how patients follow prescribed regimens for taking oral cancer drugs.
The purpose of this open label study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of AZD1208 in patients with recurrent or refractory Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML). This study will have two parts. In Part A, patients will receive escalating doses to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). In Part B, the efficacy of the maximum tolerated dose will be evaluated in a expanded group of patients.
