Filter by:The primary objectives of this study are to determine if rigosertib sodium, given orally in the form of soft gel capsules, is safe and is associated with a reduction in the number of blood transfusion units that are needed in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) classified as Low or Intermediate-1 (Int-1) (any cytogenetics) or trisomy 8 Intermediate 2 (Int-2) in the International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) who are transfusion-dependent. Rigosertib will be taken on days 1 to 21 of a 21-day cycle.
This is a multicenter, Randomized, Open-Label, Parallel, Comparative, Dose-Response Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety study of KRN321 of subcutaneous injection in Adult Subjects with Low- or Intermediate-1-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome.
The primary objective was to assess the superiority of darbepoetin alfa versus placebo on the incidence of red blood cell transfusions during the 24-week double-blind treatment period in anemic patients with low or intermediate-1 risk MDS.
Phase 1-2 dose escalation randomized study in patients with intermediate or high risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). The Dose Escalation Segment will evaluate the biological activity, preliminary safety and efficacy of SGI-110 with two dosing schedules in MDS and AML patients while the Dose Expansion Segment will further evaluate safety and efficacy at the biological effective dose (BED) or maximum tolerated dose (MTD)as defined in the Dose Escalation Segment.
The primary objective of this study is to compare overall survival (OS) in patients receiving ON 01910.Na + best supportive care (BSC) to OS of patients receiving BSC in a population of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with excess blasts (5% to 30% bone marrow blasts) who have failed azacitidine or decitabine treatment. This patient population has no available therapy and a short life expectancy (approximately 4 months). The high level of bone marrow activity of ON 01910.Na documented in Phase 1 and 2 studies has the potential to delay substantially the transition of MDS to Acute Myeloid Leukemia(AML), a very significant and severe complication, which shortens survival of these MDS patients.
This is a multicenter, open-label, dose escalation Phase 1 study.
The purpose of this non-interventional study is to collect data on the efficiency and safety of Azacitidin in the routine application.
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the use of lenalidomide and prednisone in people with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS). Lenalidomide is a drug that alters the immune system and it may also interfere with the development of tiny blood vessels that help support tumor growth. Therefore, in theory, it may reduce or prevent the growth of cancer cells. Lenalidomide is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of specific types of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and in combination with dexamethasone for people with multiple myeloma (MM) who have received at least 1 prior therapy. MDS and MM are cancers of the blood. It is currently being tested in a variety of cancer conditions. As it is being used in this study it is considered an investigational use. An "investigational use" is a use that is being tested and is not approved by the FDA. Prednisone is approved by the FDA to treat numerous conditions. In addition, prednisone is approved by the FDA to treat Low or Intermediate-1 IPSS Risk, non-del (5q) MDS. "Study drug" refers to the combination of lenalidomide and prednisone.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the combination of fludarabine and cytarabine can help to control Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML), High-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) or Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) in myeloid blast crisis. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied.
Background: - Stem cells are immature blood cells that grow in the bone marrow and produce all of the cells needed for normal blood and immunity. Stem cells can be taken from one person (donor) and given to another person (recipient) through allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Donor stem cells can then replace the recipients stem cells in the bone marrow, restoring normal blood production and immunity. Most allogeneic transplants now use stem cells collected from the donors blood in a process called peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. - Monocytopenia and mycobacterial infection (MonoMAC) is an immunodeficiency disease that is characterized by a lack of monocytes, a type of white blood cell, and an increased risk of developing mycobacteria infections that may cause tuberculosis. - Allogeneic stem cell transplantation has been used successfully to treat many kinds of immune diseases and cancers that develop in blood or immune system cells. Researchers have been studying a particular kind of stem cell transplantation that uses lower than usual doses of chemotherapy and particular combinations of drugs to improve the results of the procedure for patients with blood-related cancers and pre-cancerous conditions. Objectives: - To determine the safety and efficacy of reduced-intensity hematopoietic stem cell transplants (a particular stem cell transplantation procedure) for treating MonoMAC. Eligibility: - Patients 18-60 years of age who have MonoMAC and who have been matched with a suitable stem cell donor. Design: - Donors and recipients will undergo separate procedures as part of this protocol. - Donors: - National Institutes of Health researchers will take the donor s medical history, perform a physical exam, take blood samples, and explain the procedure. Tests will be performed to check the donors heart, lung, kidney, and liver function. - Donors will receive injections of a drug called filgrastim (G-CSF), which causes stem cells to travel from bone marrow into blood. The G-CSF shots will be given for 5 to 7 days before the collection procedure. - Donors will undergo apheresis to collect white blood cells and stem cells directly from the blood, which can be done as an outpatient procedure. Researchers may consider the alternative of directly collecting bone marrow from the donor, which will require an overnight hospital stay. - Recipients: - Recipients will receive 3 days of pre-transplant chemotherapy and radiation therapy to prepare for the transplant. For 4 days before the transplant, recipients will receive the chemotherapy drug fludarabine, followed by a single dose of radiation therapy, and will also receive the drugs tacrolimus and sirolimus to prevent the donor cells from attacking the recipient s normal tissues. - Recipients will then receive the transplant of donor stem cells and will continue to receive tacrolimus and sirolimus for 3 months after the transplant to prevent the donor cells from attacking the recipient s normal tissues. Recipients will be discharged from the hospital once their condition is stable. - Recipients will visit the NCI clinic regularly for the first 5 months after the transplant, and then less often for at least 5 years. Recipients may receive additional donor immune cells (donor lymphocyte infusion) after the transplant if the study doctors believe they are needed.
