Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the long-term safety of a fixed-dose, daily regimen of PCI-32765 PO in subjects with B cell lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic leukemia (CLL/SLL).
The purpose of this study is to establish the safety and efficacy of orally administered PCI-32765 in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma.
This phase II trial is studying how well giving clofarabine and cytarabine together with filgrastim works in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML), advanced myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and/or advanced myeloproliferative neoplasm. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as clofarabine 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 the drugs in different doses may kill more cancer cells. Colony stimulating factors, such as filgrastim, may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help the immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if Procrit (epoetin alfa) will decrease the need for blood transfusions in patients with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL), Lymphoblastic Lymphoma (LL), or Burkitt's who are receiving chemotherapy. Another goal is to study the remission rates in patients with cancer who have received treatment with epoetin alfa.
This study is designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody LFB-R603 in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia who have received at least one prior fludarabine-containing regimen.
The aim of this study is to determine the therapeutic efficacy of Decitabine in patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) diagnosis according to WHO criteria either untreated or previously treated with Hydrea or Etoposide (given orally), non intensive chemotherapy or intensive chemotherapy given more than 3 months before inclusion.
The goal of Phase 1 of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of bendamustine, combined with fludarabine and rituximab, that can be given to patients who have CLL that has been treated before. The goal of Phase 2 of this study is to find out if this drug combination can help to control the disease. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied.
The goal of the clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of nelarabine when given as a continuous infusion to patients with a lymphoid malignancy that has not responded to, or has come back after treatment with chemotherapy. The safety of this drug will also be studied.
Asparaginase is an important drug in the treatment of childhood leukemia. One of the rare but severe side effects to the treatment is thrombosis in or outside the central nervous system. The aim of this study is to investigate and describe the influence on the coagulation parameters during prolonged treatment with asparaginase. Hopefully this knowledge will help to foresee the risk of thrombosis and thus making it possible to prevent these.
RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy before a donor umbilical cord blood transplant (UCBT) helps stop the growth of cancer and abnormal cells and helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the stem cells from an unrelated donor, that do not exactly match the patient's blood, are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving antithymocyte globulin before transplant and cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil after transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well donor umbilical cord blood stem cell transplant works in treating patients with hematologic malignancies.
