Filter by:The trial will be performed in two parts, a phase I part and a phase IIa part. In the phase I part of the trial, BI 6727 will be investigated as monotherapy and in combination with low dose cytarabine (LD-Ara-C) in patients with relapsed/refractory AML that are not eligible for intensive treatment. The dose of BI 6727 will be escalated to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of BI 6727 monotherapy and BI 6727 in combination with LD-Ara-C in AML patients. In the phase IIa part, the combination of BI 6727 at MTD with LD-Ara-C and LD-Ara-C monotherapy will be investigated to explore the efficacy of the combination schedule in comparison to LD-Ara-C monotherapy in previously untreated AML patients that are not eligible for intensive treatment.
The purpose of the trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of ofatumumab retreatment and maintenance in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia who have previously responded or had disease stabilization after ofatumumab in an ongoing trial (Hx-CD20-406).
RATIONALE: Gathering information about metabolic syndrome from young patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia may help doctors learn more about the disease. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the metabolic syndrome in young patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in remission.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if cyclophosphamide given after busulfan and fludarabine can help to prevent graft versus host disease (GVHD - a condition in which transplanted tissue attacks the body into which it is transplanted) in patients receiving a stem cell transplant. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied.
RATIONALE: A personalized Internet-based program may help improve fatigue, depression, and quality of life in long-term survivors of stem cell transplant. It is not yet known whether an Internet-based program is more effective with or without telephone-based problem-solving training. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well an Internet-based program works with or without telephone-based problem-solving training in helping long-term survivors of hematopoietic stem cell transplant cope with late complications
Multicentric evaluation of the reduction of unrelated cord blood transplantation (UCBT) toxicity by using reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) in patients with acute myeloid leukaemia.UCBT related mortality and morbidity were limiting factors for the development of this procedure in adults. Non myeloablative conditioning regimen showed promising results and prospective evaluation has to be developed to confirm these retrospective data.
This phase II trial studies how well giving treosulfan together with fludarabine phosphate and total-body irradiation (TBI) works in treating patients with hematological cancer who are undergoing umbilical cord blood transplant (UCBT). Giving chemotherapy, such as treosulfan and fludarabine phosphate, and TBI before a donor UCBT helps stop the growth of cancer cells and helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the stem cells from a related or 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 also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving cyclosporine (CsA) and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) after the transplant may stop this from happening.
Objectives: Primary objective: Evaluate toxicity of rapamycin when used for post-bone marrow transplant graft vs. host disease prophylaxis in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Investigator initiated; four participating institutions; Phase II pilot study
RATIONALE: Ondansetron may help lessen or prevent nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing stem cell transplant. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well ondansetron works in preventing nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing stem cell transplant.
This is a phase II trial of reduced intensity conditioning with Bu/Flu/ATG in pediatric patients with hematologic malignancies at high risk for transplant related mortality with standard transplantation. Patients qualify based on organ system dysfunction, active but stable infection, history of previous transplant or late stage disease. We plan to enroll 45 patients through the Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant Consortium (PBMTC) and anticipate that the outcome of the trial will pave the way for phase II or III disease specific protocols addressing efficacy of the approach compared to standard transplant approaches in better risk patients.
