Filter by:The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis, that the order of application of Busulfan (BU) and Cyclophosphamide (CY) has an impact on toxicity after allogeneic Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and that CY-BU reduces liver toxicity compared to BU-CY.
This research study is a Phase I clinical trial. Phase I trials test the safety of an investigational drug or combination of drugs. Phase I studies also try to define the appropriate dose of the investigational drug to use for further studies. "Investigational" means that the combination of drugs is still being studied and that research doctors are trying to find out more about it. As part of this research study, you will take alisertib in combination with idarubicin and cytarabine. Alisertib has not been approved by the FDA for your cancer. However, cytarabine and idarubicin have both been approved by the FDA for treatment of AML. It also means that the FDA has not approved giving alisertib with idarubicin and cytarabine for use in patients, including patients with your type of cancer. Idarubicin and cytarabine are chemotherapy agents that are commonly used to treat individuals diagnosed with AML. Alisertib has been used in laboratory studies and those studies suggest that alisertib may slow down the spread of your cancer. It does this by blocking certain substances needed by the cancer cells to spread. In this study, researchers would like to combine alisertib with standard chemotherapy (cytarabine and idarubicin) in order to see if it can be given safely with chemotherapy in individuals with AML. The primary purpose of this research study is to determine the highest dose that alisertib can be given with idarubicin and cytarabine without severe or unmanageable side effects. The dose identified in this study will be used in future research studies.
The purpose of this study is to find out if treating Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML) with a study drug [ruxolitinib] can improve outcomes of patients with CMML. The first step of the study is to learn the dose of ruxolitinib that is tolerable (bearable). It has already been studied in a number of patients with different bone marrow diseases and is approved for the treatment of a disease called Myelofibrosis; however, it is not approved for treatment of CMML. It is given orally (by mouth). Most people tolerate it well but the tolerability has not been determined in patients with CMML. We will be testing different doses to determine how much of the medication people can tolerate (bear) before they develop side effects.
This Phase 1/1b, open-label study will evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of escalating doses of RO5503781 as a single agent or in combination with cytarabine in participants with acute myelogenous leukemia. In Part 1, RO5503781 will be administered in escalating doses as a single agent, and in Part 2, RO5503781 will be administered in combination with cytarabine. An optional Part 3 in which RO5503781 will be administered with cytarabine and anthracycline may be considered . In Part 4, the safety and pharmacokinetic profile of an optimized formulation of RO5503781 in combination with cytarabine will be assessed.
This study evaluates the value of bortezomib in combination with specified chemotherapies for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of CPI-613 when given together with cytarabine and mitoxantrone hydrochloride in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as CPI-613, cytarabine and mitoxantrone hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. CPI-613 may help cytarabine and mitoxantrone hydrochloride work better by making cancer cells more sensitive to the drugs
Hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC- primitive cells in the blood, bone marrow and umbilical cord that can restore the bone marrow) transplant can be a curative therapy for the treatment of hematologic malignancies (a disease of the bone marrow and lymph nodes). The source of cells used for the transplant comes from related (sibling) and in cases where there is no sibling match, from unrelated donors through the National Marrow Donor Program. The availability of a suitable donor can be a significant obstacle for patients who need a transplant but do not have a matched donor. Cord blood that has been harvested from an umbilical cord shortly after birth has a rich supply of cells needed for transplant. These stored cord bloods are now being used to transplant adults without a matched donor Advantages to using cord blood includes a readily available source of cells with no risk to the donor during the collection process, immediate source of cells in urgent situations (no lengthy donor work-up)and a reduction in infectious disease transmission to the recipient. One of the main disadvantages is the cord blood has a small number of cells needed for transplant. In an adult, usually two cords are needed and large recipients do not qualify because they need too many cells. This study will use two different preparative regimens (chemotherapy and radiation) followed by one or two umbilical cord units (UBC). The preparative regimen used will be chosen by the physician and is based on patient's age, disease and medical condition at the time of transplant. Multiple objectives for this study include disease-free and overall survival, treatment related mortality, rate of cells taking hold, and the incidence and severity of the transplant complication called graft versus host disease (GVHD).
Adherence to tyrosine kinase inhibitors is associated with improved outcomes in chronic myeloid leukemia patients. Hence, improved adherence might improve CML patients' prognosis. Decreased adherence is a common problem in such patients, with non-adherence in up to 30% of patients in several studies. Recently, an emphasis has been placed on improving patient's adherence to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in these patients. However, there is no prospective high-quality evidence showing that adherence can be improved in these patients. Therefore, the investigators hypothesize that adherence-encouraging interventions improve adherence to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in chronic myeloid leukemia patients.
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the ability a colostrum containing diet to limit gastrointestinal toxicity including chemotherapy induced inflammation in children treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Assessment of safety and efficacy of with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide (FC) combined with ofatumumab (FCO2) in previously untreated "young" patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL).
