Filter by:This pilot trial studies different high-dose chemotherapy regimens with or without total-body irradiation (TBI) to compare how well they work when given before autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) in treating patients with hematologic cancer or solid tumors. Giving high-dose chemotherapy with or without TBI before ASCT stops the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. After treatment, stem cells are collected from the patient's blood or bone marrow and stored. More chemotherapy may be given to prepare for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy.
Primary Objective: - To assess the activity of lenalidomide in patients with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) age 65 and older. Secondary Objective: - To assess the tolerability of lenalidomide in patients with untreated CLL age 65 and older
RATIONALE: Giving an infusion of donor lymphocytes may be able to kill cancer cells in patients with hematologic cancer that has come back after a donor stem cell transplant. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well donor lymphocyte infusion works in treating patients with recurrent or persistent hematologic cancer after donor stem cell transplant.
RATIONALE: Bupropion may help people stop smoking by decreasing the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. Giving bupropion over a longer period of time may be effective in helping people stop smoking. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well bupropion works in helping adults stop smoking.
This single arm study will assess the safety and effect on response rate of a combination of MabThera and chlorambucil in previously untreated patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Patients will receive 6x monthly cycles of combination treatment, followed by up to 6 cycles of chlorambucil alone. MabThera will be administered on day 1 of each cycle, at a dose of 375mg/m2 iv in cycle 1, and 500mg/m2 in subsequent cycles, and chlorambucil will be administered on days 1-7 of each cycle at a dose of 10mg/m2/day po. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.
The purpose of this study is to assess safety and tolerability of multiple ascending doses of AZD1152 and to assess effect of AZD1152 on the rate of complete remission in patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukaemia who are not considered to be suitable for standard chemotherapy.
RATIONALE: Antiviral drugs, such as ganciclovir, act against viruses. Giving ganciclovir by infusion and then by mouth may be effective treatment for cytomegalovirus that has become active after donor bone marrow transplant. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving ganciclovir by infusion and by mouth works in treating patients with cytomegalovirus after donor bone marrow transplant.
The primary objective of this study is to estimate the major cytogenetic response (MCyR) rate to Dasatinib in subjects with CP CML, complete and overall hematologic response (CHR and OHR) rate in subjects with AD CML or Ph+ ALL who have primary or acquired resistance to imatinib, or are intolerant of imatinib, when administered at 100 mg QD (Chronic CML) or 70mg BID (AP CML and Ph+ALL).
Hypothesis: Myeloablative conditioning using a dose escalation of clofarabine in combination with cytarabine (ARA-C) and total body irradiation (TBI) will lead to improved survival for previously untransplanted children and adolescents with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute non-lymphoblastic leukemia (ANLL)followed by allogeneic stem cell transplantation (AlloSCT).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a tablet form of azacitidine that taken by mouth is safe. This Phase I study will also look at different doses and different treatment schedules in order to better understand the effects (positive and negative) of oral azacitidine on the body and on the disease MDS, AML and CMML.
