Filter by:This phase I/Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of ipilimumab or nivolumab in treating patients with cancers of the blood and blood-forming tissues (hematologic cancers) that have returned after a period of improvement (relapsed) after donor stem cell transplant. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab and nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
This pilot clinical trial studies sirolimus, idarubicin, and cytarabine in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia. Sirolimus may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as idarubicin and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving sirolimus together with idarubicin and cytarabine may kill more cancer cells.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of tretinoin when given together with lithium carbonate in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia. Lithium carbonate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Tretinoin may help [type of cancer] cells become more like normal cells, and to grow and spread more slowly. Giving lithium carbonate together with tretinoin may kill more cancer cells
Infectious morbidity and mortality is a major complication of AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia) induction and consolidation chemotherapies related aplasia. The main aim of this study is to measure incidence of respiratory viral infections during AML induction and consolidation chemotherapy related aplasia. Primary end point is a positive polymerase chain reaction(PCR)associated with clinical signs.
Patients with acute or chronic myeloid leukemia, or myelodysplastic syndrome, underwent allogeneic stem cell transplantation from HLA-identical donor (related or unrelated) after reduced-intensity conditioning regimen. If WT1 expression is detectable on tumor cells, they will receive an immune therapy 60 days after allograft. 6 administrations every 2 weeks of the protein recwt1-A10+AS01B will be administrated. The safety and immunological efficacy of this immune therapy after hematopoietic stem cells transplantation with reduced intensity conditioning will be evaluated.
The purpose of this study is to determine if low-dose imatinib and nilotinib combination, will improve treatment results in CML patients with failure, suboptimal response or intolerance to imatinib therapy. The hypothesis is that with low-dose imatinib and nilotinib combination, major molecular response will be achieved in patients not previously obtained with imatinib monotherapy.
This randomized phase III trial studies chlorhexidine gluconate cleansing to see how well it works compared to control cleansing in preventing central line associated bloodstream infection and acquisition of multi-drug resistant organisms in younger patients with cancer or undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Chlorhexidine gluconate may help reduce bloodstream infections and bacterial infections associated with the central line.
A Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Transplantation of a single cord blood unit (CBU) of NiCord®, umbilical cord blood-derived Ex Vivo Expanded Stem and Progenitor Cells in Patients with Hematological Malignancies.
The purpose of this study is to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and to assess the safety and tolerability of MLN4924 (pevonedistat) in combination with azacitidine in treatment naive participants with AML who were 60 years of age or older.
The experimental treatment consists in the application of a therapeutic strategy of allogeneic transplantation as a potential curative procedure in a population of patients with chemoresistant acute leukemias. Therapeutic intervention, namely the conditioning regimen as well as GVHD prophylaxis, are based on regimens currently in standard use in the context of allogeneic transplantation.
