Filter by:Study Design: This is a two-stage Phase II trial investigating the efficacy of Clofarabine, Cyclophosphamide and Etoposide in acute leukemia patients with detectable minimal residual disease (MRD) prior to allo-HCT. The primary objective is to determine the impact of the study treatment in eliminating the presence of minimal residual disease without causing a significant delay of allo-HCT due to treatment related toxicity. The intent of this study is to allow patients to proceed to transplant (independent of this study) within 42 days of Day 1 of Clofarabine based therapy.
The primary goal of this study by The Polish Adult Leukemia Group (PALG) is to verify if individual therapeutic approach taking into account biological and phenotypic differences as well as response at the level of minimal residual disease is associated with improved outcome of adults with precursor lymphoid neoplasms
RATIONALE: Testing for minimal residual disease in blood samples from patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia may help doctors plan better treatment. PURPOSE: This research trial studies a genetic test in detecting minimal residual disease in samples from younger patients registered on COG-AALL08B1 trial.
It is the study hypothesis that hypo-fractionated image-guided radiosurgery significantly improves pain relief compared to historic data of conventionally fractionated radiotherapy. Primary endpoint is pain response 3 months after radiosurgery, which is defined as pain reduction of ≥2 points at the treated vertebral site on the 0 to 10 Visual Analogue Scale. 60 patients will be included into this II trial.
RATIONALE: Testing for minimal residual disease in cell samples from patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia may help doctors plan better treatment. PURPOSE: This research trial studies a genetic test in identifying previously undetectable minimal residual disease in cell samples from younger patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
This is a 2 part study. The goal of the first part of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of azacitidine that can be given with a TKI that you are already taking (such as Gleevec, Sprycel, or Tasigna). The safety of this drug will also be studied. The goal of the second part is to see if this combination may improve your response to the TKI you are already taking. Azacitidine is designed to change genes that are thought to cause leukemia. By changing these genes, the drug may help to stop them from causing the disease to grow.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if adding pegylated interferon-alfa 2a (Pegasys) to the TKI that you are already receiving can help to control CML. The safety of this treatment combination will also be studied. Pegasys is a form of the drug interferon. It is designed to help the body's immune system to fight infections. It may also affect the body's response to cancer. A TKI (imatinib mesylate, nilotinib, or dasatinib) is designed to bind to and shut off a protein in tumor cells called Bcr-Abl. Shutting Bcr-Abl off may prevent CML cells from growing, and may cause them to die. You are already receiving a TKI. This consent form will describe the administration of Pegasys, any tests and procedures that need to be performed while you are receiving Pegasys, and any risks/benefits there may be from receiving Pegasys.
Ceplene/IL-2 remission maintenance therapy has been shown to significantly prolong Leukemia Free Survival in patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in first complete remission. This is an international, multicenter, open-label study to evaluate the effects of remission maintenance therapy with Ceplene/IL-2 in adult patients with AML in CR1 on specific immune system cells (T and NK cells) and prospectively defined markers of immune response that are known to reflect T and NK cell ability to combat AML.
This study is being performed to develop assays to determine the impact of the therapy patients receive for treatment of AML or MDS and to determine if these tests can identify those patients who are at a greater risk for having their disease relapse.
The purpose of this study is to study the MRD status after VELCADE based induction therapy (VELCADE, lenalidomide, dexamethasone or VELCADE, liposomal doxorubicin, dexamethasone) in patients with previously untreated multiple myeloma and study the impact of HDC and ASCT on MRD status post‐transplant. Our hypothesis is that MRD‐status will continue to increase significantly at 3 months post‐transplant and will validate that HDC and ASCT needs to be performed even when patients have achieved major response after induction therapy with novel agents.
