Filter by:This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of eltrombopag in the treatment of low platelet counts in adult subjects with advanced myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), secondary acute myeloid leukemia after MDS (sAML/MDS), or de novo AML that are relapsed, refractory or ineligible to receive azacitidine, decitabine, intensive chemotherapy or autologous/allogeneic stem cell transplantation. This is a placebo-controlled study in which patients will receive study medication daily for 6 months, during which time the dose of study medication may be adjusted based upon individual platelet counts and bone marrow blast counts. All subjects will receive best standard of care (platelet transfusions, mild chemotherapy, cytokines, valproic acid, all-trans retinoic acid, ESAs or G-CSF) in addition to study medication. Subjects taking placebo may be allowed to crossover to eltrombopag treatment if a clinically and statistically significant improvement in bone marrow blast counts is seen in subjects treated with eltrombopag.
Azacitidine will be given at a dose of 75 mg/sqm (s.c) daily for 5 consecutive days every 28 days (every month) for a total of 8 courses to low risk MDSs according to IPSS scoring system. In fact, several studies produced high rates of trilineage responses, reduces the risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in high-risk MDS and improves the quality of life (QoL). The use of 5-Aza in the earlier phases of MDS could reduce the proliferative advantage of MDS clone and favour the regrowth of normal hematopoiesis.
This is an open label, prospective, single institution dose-escalation study. The patient population includes non-induction candidate elderly patients with AML or MDS and/or patients with high-risk or relapsed/refractory AML or MDS. Five dose cohorts will be evaluated using a fixed dose of ATRA in combination with an escalating dose of dasatinib. The investigators will treat with an escalating dose of dasatinib from 70mg to 140mg daily. Dose escalation will proceed in a standard 3+3 fashion. A de-escalation to a 50 mg total daily dose of dasatinib is planned if DLT is greater than or equal to 33% is observed at the first dose level. Once the MTD for the combination of the drugs has been established, up to 6 additional patients will be enrolled at the MTD level to obtain additional safety information about the combination and to allow for preliminary laboratory correlate analysis.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if 5-aza-2 deoxycytidine (decitabine) given in combination with Mylotarg (gemtuzumab ozogamicin) can help to control Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or Myelofibrosis (MF). The safety of this drug combination will also be studied.
This open-label Phase I study is designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for CPX-351 followed by a reduced intensity conditioning regimen and incorporates a dose-escalation schedule that sequentially enrolls 6 dosing cohorts. After the determination of the MTD, the investigator reserves the option to enroll up to 10 additional subjects in an expanded safety cohort(s) at the MTD. Refractory and relapsed AML patients who meet standard institutional criteria to undergo sequential induction/reduced intensity conditioning allogeneic transplants will be offered a transplant from a related or unrelated donor (full match or 1 antigen mismatch). Cord blood transplants will not be used in this study.
Primary Objective: Determining the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and pharmacokinetics (PK) of FTS (S-Trans, Trans-Farnesylthiosalicylic Acid) after daily oral administration on Days 1 through 21 of a 28-Day cycle to patients with advanced hematologic malignancies that have progressed following effective therapy or for which no effective therapy exists.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ON 01910.Na Concentrate when it is administered as an intravenous continuous infusion (IVCI) over 72 hours once every 2 weeks in a broad population of MDS patients. Rationale for this study is based on the activity observed in another study with ON 01910.Na in patients with refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB) 1 and 2 MDS. This study will examine ON 01910.Na in a broader population of MDS and AML patients. This phase I/II study will establish the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) starting with a dose of 800 mg/m2 per day administered over 24 hours for 2 consecutive days as a continuous intravenous infusion, once a week for 3 weeks of a 4-week cycle and examine the efficacy and safety profile at the MTD.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Clofarabine in combination with Busulfan is effective as a preparative transplant regimen for the treatment of leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes
The purpose of this study is to: - Test the safety of the research study drug, lenalidomide, when given with Idarubicin and Cytarabine - See how many respond to combination treatment with lenalidomide, Idarubicin and Cytarabine - See how long people respond to this combination therapy - See how long people live after being treated with this combination of drugs
This randomized allogeneic transplantation protocol compares i.v. Treosulfan-based conditioning therapy with reduced intensity i.v. Busulfan-based conditioning in adult AML and MDS patients at increased risk for standard conditioning therapies. The protocol is based on results of previous phase I/II trials evaluating Treosulfan/Fludarabine conditioning prior to allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The reference arm (reduced intensity i.v. Busulfan/Fludarabine) is considered to be accepted medical practice for the study patient population.
