Filter by:Gene transfer is a process in which the DNA (genetic material) of certain cells is changed. In this study, gene transfer will be performed on a type of white blood cell (called T cells) to recognize leukemia cells in the same person the T cells were collected from. The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if it is safe to give these genetically-changed T cells back to patients with CLL/SLL. Researchers also want to learn if these cells can help to attack CLL/SLL cells.
To characterize the metabolism of glucose by the leukemic cells in patients with leukemia before and after initial chemotherapy. To compare the metabolism of glucose by leukocytes in healthy volunteers and leukemic cells in leukemic patients.
This is a single arm, open-label, multi-center, phase II study to determine the efficacy and safety of CTL019 in adult patients with r/r B-cell ALL. The study will have the following sequential phases: Screening, Pre-Treatment, Treatment and Primary Follow-up, Secondary Follow-up (Relapse Follow-up) and Survival Follow-up. The total duration of the primary follow-up is 1 year from cell infusion. Safety will be assessed until the end of the treatment and primary follow-up phase.
The aim of the study is to test the safety and efficacy of BL-8040 (a CXCR4 antagonist) in improving the response to imatinib in CML patients not achieving an optimal response with imatinib alone.
Hypotheses and Specific Aims: There is limited data on the long-term consequences of cancer therapy on young, reproductively aged cancer survivors. The investigators objective is to characterize some of these effects in the cancer population.
Although a majority of children with leukemia and most hematological malignancies (Hodgkin's and Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas) can be cured with conventional chemotherapy, a subset of patients with resistant/recurrent high-risk disease are not cured with conventional treatment regimens. Investigators hypothesize that HSCT from a partially matched donor can be safe and effective for patients with very high risk hematologic malignancies when combined with post-transplant cyclophosphamide for prevention of graft-vs-host disease (GVHD).
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if IPI-145 can help to control the disease in patients with ALL. The safety of the study drug will also be studied.
Retrospective evaluation on the effect of splenic irradiation on clinical and hematological response and toxicity in patients with chronic lymphatic leukaemia (CLL).
This research study is a Phase II clinical trial. Phase II clinical trials test the effectiveness of an investigational drug to learn whether the drug is effective in treating a specific cancer. "Investigational" means that sulindac is still being studied and that research doctors are trying to find out more about it. It also means that the FDA has not yet approved the use of sulindac for your type of cancer. Participants in this study must have undergone previous chemotherapy and achieved complete remission, which is the absence of disease activity in people with a chronic illness, in this case AML. Unfortunately, a significant number of patients with AML who achieve a complete remission with initial chemotherapy eventually experience a relapse, often within a few months. Previous research studies have demonstrated that a type of medication frequently used to treat inflammation, called a COX inhibitor, may suppress and kill leukemia cells. COX inhibitors work by blocking a class of proteins called COX proteins. Other commonly used COX inhibitors are ibuprofen and naproxen. For this study, the investigators are using a COX inhibitor called sulindac, which has been FDA approved and used to treat pain and inflammation for many years, and has also been studied in suppressing certain tumors of the gastrointestinal system. The main goal of this study is to determine whether sulindac can help participants remain in a state of complete remission following the initial course of chemotherapy for AML, and two cycles of chemotherapy that is standard of care for your cancer, called consolidation chemotherapy. During the course of this study, the investigators will also attempt to learn more about how COX inhibition suppresses the emergence of leukemia, at the molecular and cellular level, by studying the participants on this trial.
This phase II trial studies how well arsenic trioxide works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as arsenic trioxide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
