Filter by:This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of cytarabine when given together with decitabine and vorinostat in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome that has returned or has not responded to treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine and decitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving cytarabine together with decitabine and vorinostat may kill more cancer cells.
RATIONALE: AR-42 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of AR-42 in treating patients with advanced or relapsed multiple myeloma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, or lymphoma.
RATIONALE: Bortezomib and azacitidine may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of bortezomib when given together with azacitidine in treating patients with relapsed or refractory T-cell lymphoma.
RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as mitoxantrone, etoposide, 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 bortezomib together with combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of bortezomib when given together with mitoxantrone, etoposide, and cytarabine in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia.
A multicenter, open label study of Nilotinib in CML patients PH + with imatininb resistant in blast crisis, accelerated phase or chronic phase. The main purpose is evaluate the safety and efficacy of Nilotinib.
This is a Phase I-II study evaluating the toxicity and efficacy of imatinib combined with mitoxantrone, etoposide and high-dose cytarabine reinduction therapy in relapsed and refractory AML. Patients will be treated initially at a 200 mg dose of imatinib; if tolerated, the imatinib dose will be escalated in subsequent cohorts to 300 mg and 400 mg. Once the recommended dose is determined, the remaining patients will be treated at that dose, to evaluate the antileukemic activity of the regimen. Patients achieving complete remission will receive consolidation therapy with imatinib combined with high-dose cytarabine and mitoxantrone, followed by maintenance imatinib.
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the drugs lenalidomide and ofatumumab in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of BMS-936564 (MDX-1338) in relapsed Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and other selected B-cell cancers and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the drug alone in relapsed/refractory AML
RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood or tumor tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This research study is studying biomarkers in DNA samples from patients with newly diagnosed high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of using a system called CliniMACS to remove Tcells from blood stem cells. Removing T-cells may help stop a side effect called Graft-Versus-Host Disease (GVHD). Some studies have been done with CliniMACS, but the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not yet approved it.
