Filter by:The purpose of this trial is to determinate the security, tolerability and efficacy of aprepitant plus palonosetron versus granisetron in the prevention of nausea and emesis induced by chemotherapy in patients treated with haematopoietic progenitors transplant.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find out if decitabine, given with or without valproic acid, can help to control AML or MDS. The safety of both treatments will also be studied.
Patients who undergo chemotherapy for leukemia will receive study medication for prevention of fungal infections. The study investigates the safety and tolerability of two different dosages, the efficacy in prevention of fungal diseases.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the combination of arsenic trioxide (ATO) with ATRA and possibly idarubicin is effective in treating patients with newly-diagnosed APL.
This study is a Phase III, randomized, open-label, multi-center, prospective study of single umbilical cord blood (UCB) transplantation versus double UCB transplantation in pediatric patients with hematologic malignancies.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of the drugs clofarabine and cyclophosphamide that can be given together in the treatment of relapsed or refractory ALL. The safety of the combination treatment will also be studied. Objectives: Phase I: 1. To establish toxicities and safety of the proposed combination 2. To establish the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination to proceed with the phase II part of the study Phase II: 3. To establish the efficacy (complete and overall response) of the proposed combination. 4. To analyze pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties of clofarabine as well as the impact on DNA repair of leukemic blasts with the proposed combination.
Studies in the 1970s and 1980s suggested that the outcome of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia could be improved by intensification of conventional continuation chemotherapy with pulses of vincristine sulfate and steroids. We aimed to investigate the efficacy and toxic effects of vincristine-dexamethasone pulses as an addition to the continuation-therapy phase in a large cohort of children with intermediate-risk disease who were treated with the BFM treatment strategy
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerated dose of gemcitabine that can be given with busulfan and melphalan. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied.
RATIONALE: Alemtuzumab and glucocorticoids, such as prednisone or methylprednisolone, may be an effective treatment for acute graft-versus-host disease caused by a donor stem cell transplant. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving alemtuzumab together with glucocorticoids works in treating newly diagnosed acute graft-versus-host disease in patients who have undergone donor stem cell transplant.
Based on what is known about it's mechanism of action, bortezomib is presumed to make other chemotherapy drugs work better. This study examines the use of bortezomib in combination with an already effective chemotherapy regimen that is used to treat leukemias that have relapsed or been refractory to treatment.
