Filter by:This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of selinexor when given after stem cell transplant in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that is at intermediate or high risk of spreading or coming back (intermediate- or high-risk), or myelodysplastic syndrome that is at high risk of spreading or coming back (high-risk). Selinexor works to stop cancer growth by blocking an enzyme, which may cause cancer cells to die and also kill cells that cause the cancer to grow, which commonly do not respond to regular chemotherapy.
This pilot phase I trial studies how well CPI-613 (6,8-bis[benzylthio]octanoic acid), cytarabine, and mitoxantrone hydrochloride work in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or granulocytic sarcoma (a malignant, green-colored tumor of myeloid cells [a type of immature white blood cell]) that has returned (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). 6,8-bis(benzylthio)octanoic acid is thought to kill cancer cells by turning off their mitochondria. Mitochondria are used by cancer cells to produce energy and are the building blocks needed to make more cancer cells. By shutting off these mitochondria, 6,8-bis(benzylthio)octanoic acid deprives the cancer cells of energy and other supplies that they need to survive and grow in the body. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine and mitoxantrone hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving 6,8-bis(benzylthio)octanoic acid together with cytarabine and mitoxantrone hydrochloride may kill more cancer cells.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if lirilumab in combination with rituximab can help to control either CLL or Small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). The safety of the drug combination will also be studied.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of sorafenib for prophylaxis of leukemia relapse in allogeneic stem cell transplant (Allo-HSCT) recipients with FLT3-ITD positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
This is a prospective, open-label, single-arm multi-center phase II study aiming to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the addition of Lenalidomide (investigational drug) to the standard therapy of Azacitidine and DLI (standard of care) as first salvage therapy for relapse of MDS, CMML and AML with MDS-related changes (sAML, with 20%-30% bone marrow blasts, formerly RAEB-T) after allo-SCT. The starting dose of Lenalidomid is 2.5 mg per day for 21 days with a 7 day rest. The study incorporates 2 interim safety analyses after 10 and 20 patients in order to find the optimal and safe dose of Lenalidomide.
The primary objective of study Part A is to assess the safety of talacotuzumab (formerly CSL362) monotherapy and confirm the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) in participants with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) for whom experimental therapy is appropriate. The primary objective of study Part B are to assess complete response (CR) rate and overall survival (OS) in participants with AML who are not eligible for intense induction chemotherapy and who are randomly assigned to receive decitabine plus talacotuzumab at the RP2D or decitabine alone.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of nivolumab that can be give in combination with idarubicin and cytarabine in patients with MDS and AML. The safety and effectiveness of this drug combination will also be studied. This is an investigational study. Nivolumab is not FDA-approved or commercially available. Idarubicin is FDA-approved and commercially available for the treatment of patients with AML. Cytarabine is FDA approved and commercially available for treatment of patient with AML. The use of these drugs in combination is investigational. The study doctor can explain how the drugs are designed to work. Up to 75 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.
Evaluation of safety profile and tolerability of MabThera (rituximab) in combination with chemotherapy (fludarabine and cyclophosphamide) in the treatment of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL).
The goal of this study is to determine whether post-transplant consolidation with azacitidine combined with donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) is a safe and effective approach for the prevention of relapse in pediatric and young adult patients with hematologic malignancies who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
The purpose of this study is to determine the risk factors for fungemia in a population of patients diagnosed with hematologic malignancies and eligible for chemotherapy.
