Filter by:This is a single center, "modified standard design" dose escalation study designed to determine the maximum tolerated, minimum efficacious dose (MTD/MED) of IL-15 (Intravenous Recombinant Human IL-15) and incidence of donor natural killer (NK) cell expansion by day +14 when given after haploidentical donor NK cells in patients with relapse or refractory acute myelogenous leukemia (AML).
RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify and lean more about biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This research study is studying biomarkers in blood samples from patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
The purpose of this research study is to compare the survival rates of patients with better risk disease undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) to the survival rates reported in the medical literature of similar patients undergoing reduced intensity HSCT from matched related donors.
Many children with cancer cannot participate regularly in school due to frequent hospitalizations for treatment or treatment related effects such as pain, nausea, and fatigue. Prior studies have shown that children with cancer desire to attend school while receiving therapy despite these challenges, and that they report psychological and psychosocial difficulties if unable to attend. While school attendance has been found to correlate with Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), self-efficacy beliefs, and self-esteem, little is known about how children with cancer experience school attendance while receiving active cancer therapy. The purpose of this study will be to explore how 6-12 year old children with cancer perceive school attendance pre and post diagnosis during active therapy as measured at one-time point, 6 months (± 2months) into active therapy.
Evaluation weather early chemotherapy attempts for remission induction can improve the results of patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), as compared to the standard group.
This study of AMG 900 will be conducted in two parts: dose escalation and dose expansion. The dose escalation part of the study is aimed at evaluating the safety, tolerability and PK (pharmacokinetics) of oral AMG 900 in subjects with acute myeloid leukemia. Up to 93 subjects may be enrolled in dose escalation. The dose expansion part of the study will consist of 20 subjects with acute myeloid leukemia. The dose of AMG 900 will be dependent upon data from the dose escalation part of the study.
The purpose of the study is to determine the utility of XCL1 in the prognosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
The purpose of this study is to determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of decitabine administered to patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
This is an open label phase 1 feasibility and safety dose escalation study. The main objective is to evaluate the safety of DCP-001 intradermal vaccination in patients with AML.
In research studies, lenalidomide (also called Revlimid) has shown some response in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL); however, responses are usually partial responses that occur after several months of taking the study drug. It is thought that by adding the drug plerixafor (also called Mozobil) responses may be improved and/or occur sooner. The main purpose of this study is to determine the dose of plerixafor that is safe to use in combination with lenalidomide. The study will also look at the response rates of the combination of lenalidomide and plerixafor and the effect the study drugs have on CLL cells.
