Filter by:The study is not currently recruiting new subjects due to an interruption in funding from its sponsors. Efforts are under way to re-establish funding, however, the study is currently on-hold pending the outcome of these re-funding efforts. There have been no safety concerns identified during the study This is an open label, single dose level, phase II study in two patient groups (CML and AML) using genetic randomisation. Consented and eligible HLA A2+ve patients will be vaccinated with two DNA vaccines and HLA A2 -ve patients will be followed up with molecular monitoring only. The objectives are to evaluate: 1) Molecular response following p.DOM-epitope DNA vaccination in patients with CML (BCR-ABL, WT1) and AML (WT1) at weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and at months 6, 12, 18 and 24. 2) Time to disease progression, 2 year survival rate (patients with AML) 3) Correlation of molecular responses with immunological responses. Primary Objective: CML: Molecular response of BCR-ABL. AML: Time to disease progression. Secondary Objective: Molecular response of WT1 transcript levels, immune responses to WT1 and DOM, Toxicity, CML-Time to disease progression, next treatment and survival, AML-2 year survival, overall survival
The purpose of this study is to determine the ability of G-CSF to disrupt the bone marrow microenvironment as a means to increase the efficacy of chemotherapy in patients with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
This is a Phase 1, open-label, multicenter study evaluating the safety and PK profile of ABT-199 under a once daily dosing schedule. Two arms will be implemented for dose escalation: Arm A, CLL/SLL subjects and Arm B, NHL subjects. Arm A is designed to enroll approximately 116 subjects with relapsed or refractory CLL or SLL and Arm B is designed to enroll approximately 95 subjects with relapsed or refractory NHL. Fifty-six subjects were enrolled in Arm A and approximately 55 subjects will be enrolled in Arm B during the dose escalation portion of the study, with the objective of defining dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) and the MTD. Once the MTD is declared for the arm, approximately 60 additional CLL/SLL subjects in Arm A and approximately 20 additional DLBCL subjects and 20 additional follicular lymphoma subjects in Arm B will be enrolled in an expanded safety portion of the study at the recommended phase 2 dose (RPTD) and schedule.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and the best dose of veliparib when given together with bendamustine hydrochloride and rituximab and to see how well they work in treating patients with lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or solid tumors that have come back or have not responded to treatment. Veliparib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bendamustine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Others interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving veliparib together with bendamustine hydrochloride and rituximab may kill more cancer cells.
This is a phase 2 single arm study in which fourteen MDS patients with Trisomy 8 or classified as Intermediate-1, 2, or High risk who meet all other inclusion/exclusion criteria will receive ON 01910.Na 1800 mg/24h as an intravenous continuous infusion (IVCI) over 72 hours every other week for the first four 2-week cycles and every 4 weeks afterwards.
H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute will be the Sunshine Project Coordinator, but will not be recruiting locally. The purpose of the trial is to study the clinical and biological effects of metformin in combination with standard systemic chemotherapy in a disease (relapsed ALL) that has a dismal outcome, as well as to do a dose escalation study to find the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of metformin in conjunction with ALL therapy. There have also been analysis of patients enrolled on trials who were diabetics on metformin and their outcome was better than patients on the same trial that were not on metformin as their antihyperglycemic.

A common problem after stem cell transplant is graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD). GVHD is a complication of transplantation where the donor graft attacks and damages some of your tissues. After stem cell transplant, all patients receive prophylactic medications against GVHD. In this research study, we are studying the safety and effectiveness of a bortezomib based GVHD prophylaxic drug combination in participants after myeloablative allogeneic stem call transplantation from a matched unrelated donor, mismatched related or unrelated donor.
RATIONALE: Studying samples of bone marrow from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors predict how well patients will respond to treatment. PURPOSE: This research trial is studying biomarkers in predicting response to treatment in bone marrow samples from young patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
This study is for patients with relapsed or refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML), Hodgkin's Disease (HD) or Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL). Panobinostat is a new drug that is considered investigational because it has not been approved in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), or in any other country. Panobinostat is a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) and interferes with gene expression found in cells causing them to stop growing or die. Panobinostat has been used in several hundred adults who had leukemia, HD, NHL and other solid tumors. Panobinostat has not been given to children. This is a phase I study. In a phase I study, drugs are tested to the highest dose that can be safely given. Drugs are given at gradually increasing dosages until there are unacceptable side effects. The goal of the Phase I study is to find out the dose of panobinostat that can be safely given to children with relapsed ALL, AML, HD and NHL.
