Filter by:RATIONALE: Vaccines made from peptides may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells. Colony-stimulating factors, such as GM-CSF, may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood. Giving booster vaccinations may make a stronger immune response and prevent or delay the recurrence of cancer. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well vaccine therapy works in treating patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safest dose of the BCR-ABL inhibitor XL228, how often it should be taken, and how well people with leukemia tolerate XL228.
This phase II trial studies how well combination chemotherapy and dasatinib works in treating participants with Philadelphia-positive or B-cell receptor-ABL positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, dexamethasone, methotrexate, and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Dasatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving chemotherapy in combination with dasatinib may work better in treating participants with Philadelphia-positive or BCR-ABL positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
This study will investigate if nilotinib provides an improved safety and efficacy profile over that seen in patients receiving Imatinib.
This phase II trial is studying how well giving 3-AP together with fludarabine works in treating patients with myeloproliferative disorders (MPD), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), or accelerated phase or blastic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as 3-AP and fludarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. 3-AP may help fludarabine work better by making cancer cells more sensitive to the drug. 3-AP and fludarabine may also stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving 3-AP together with fludarabine may kill more cancer cells.
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vorinostat and decitabine in treating patients with relapsed, refractory, or poor-prognosis hematologic cancer or other diseases. Vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as decitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving vorinostat together with decitabine may kill more cancer cells
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of belinostat when given together with azacitidine in treating patients with advanced hematologic cancers or other diseases. Belinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as azacitidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving belinostat together with azacitidine may kill more cancer cells.
The purpose of this study is to further assess the safety of dasatinib in imatinib intolerant or resistant patients with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia, advanced phase chronic myeloid leukemia or Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The efficacy of the drug in this kind of patients will also further be documented.
This study is composed of Phase I and Phase II part. Phase I part: The objective is to evaluate the safety of BMS-354825 in subject with chronic phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML). Dosage of BMS-354825 will be 50 mg BID, 70 mg BID or 90 mg BID. Phase II part: The objective is to evaluate the efficacy of BMS-354825. dosage will be decided according to the results of Phase I part. Treatment period will be 6 months for subjects with chronic phase CML, and 3 months for subjects with accelerated phase or blast phase CML and Philadelphia Chromosome Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Ph+ALL)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the side effects and anti-leukemic benefits of imatinib with those of interferon and Ara-C for patients who have chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in the chronic phase. Patients in this study will be randomized (1:1) to receive either interferon plus Ara-C or imatinib as initial treatment.
