Filter by:RATIONALE: Giving low doses of chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, and radiation therapy before a donor umbilical cord blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune system and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil after the transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well giving chemotherapy together with total-body irradiation followed by donor umbilical cord blood transplant, cyclosporine, and mycophenolate mofetil works in treating patients with hematologic cancer.
Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as CCI-779, work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. This phase II trial is studying how well CCI-779 works in treating patients with recurrent or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, toxicities, dosage and response rate for an investigational drug, motexafin gadolinium, administered to patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma. The secondary purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical benefit rate, the time it takes for a patient's chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma to worsen, the duration of response and the time during which patients survive without chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma worsening. Additionally, the patient's response to motexafin gadolinium will be compared to the response of the patient's cells in a laboratory to motexafin gadolinium.
A Phase I/II, Multi-Center, Open-Label, Repeat-Dose Study of Forodesine Hydrochloride Infusion in Patients with B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia with an Option of Extended Use of Forodesine Hydrochloride
Forodesine hydrochloride will be administered orally at a dose of 200 mg daily for 7 days each week for 4 weeks (cycle number 1). The drug will be administered once daily one hour prior to or two hours after meals. Patients will be evaluated after 1 full cycle of therapy (28 days).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Imatinib is safe and effective in association with intensive treatment of Ph+ALL in children.
This is an open-label Phase 2 study to evaluate the safety and efficay of AT-101 in combination with rituximab in patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate a CMV vaccine given to related donor/recipient pairs (donors prior to peripheral blood stem cell donation and CMV-seropositive recipients just before and after transplantation) and CMV-seropositive recipient-only subjects (related or unrelated) to determine incidence rates of CMV infection, disease, and other complications from immunosuppression and/or transplantation. The outcomes for the groups receiving CMV vaccine will be compared to the outcomes for the group that received the placebo vaccine to see if there is a clinical benefit. For this trial, donors and recipients must have matched HLA genotype (matched at 5/6 or 6/6 HLA loci).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether SPC2996 is effective and safe in the treatment of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL)
Phase 1a is an open-label, multi-dose, single-arm, dose-escalation study to define the toxicity profile, pharmacokinetics, and antitumor activity of SGN-33 in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), acute myelogenous leukemia(AML), and CD33+ myeloproliferative diseases. Phase 1b includes patients with AML or MDS treated at the highest tolerated dose from phase 1a.
