Filter by:Anemia is common among cancer patients and the treatment of choice is now Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agents (ESAs). However, some patients do not respond to treatment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the predictive value of endogenous erythropoietin rate on the response to erythropoietin beta. First, by confirming the predictive value of endogenous erythropoietin observed / predicted ratio on this response. Then if it is confirmed by establishing the optimal value of this ratio.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the combination of azacitidine and GM-CSF can help to control MDS. The safety of these drugs will also be studied. Azacitidine is designed to block certain proteins that stop the function of tumor-fighting genes. By blocking the "bad" proteins, the tumor-fighting genes may be able to work better. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is designed to help produce white blood cells. This may help to fight infections.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of siltuximab, demonstrated by a reduction in red blood cell (RBC), transfusions to treat the anemia of Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the multi-lineage hematopoietic chimerism for unrelated umbilical cord blood (UCB) grafts pooled from two to three cord blood units. Also to evaluate the toxicity, and antitumor responses of pooled unrelated UCB transplants.
Study Design: To evaluate the efficacy of the combination of sirolimus and tacrolimus as a graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis, the investigators are going to perform a phase II, multicenter clinical trial after human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched, related peripheral blood stem cell transplants (PBSCT) in patients with hematologic malignancies. Total 116 patients will be accrued. Objective: The primary objective is to evaluate the rates of 100 day Grade II-IV acute GVHD. Secondary objectives include the time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment, the incidence of grade III-IV acute GVHD, non-relapse mortality during 100 days after transplant, mucositis severity, all infectious complications including cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation, vascular complications (venoocclusive disease of liver; VOD, thrombotic microangiopathy; TMA), disease-free survival, and overall survival at 1 year after transplant. Eligibility Criteria: Eligible patients are between 20 and 60 years of age, have acute leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), and adequate organ function. For available sibling donor, a serologic (or higher resolution) 6/6 Class I HLA-A and B and molecular Class II DRB1 must be matched. Treatment Description: Conditioning regimens will vary by center and donor will donate peripheral blood stem cells according to local institutional practices. Peripheral blood stem cells will not be manipulated or T-depleted prior to infusion. Tacrolimus will be administered at 0.05 mg/kg/day intravenously by continuous infusion beginning on day -1 with a target serum concentration of 5 to 10 ng/mL. Sirolimus will be administered as a 6 mg oral loading dose on day -1, followed by a 3 mg/day single dose, with a target serum concentration of 3 to 12 ng/mL. Levels will be monitored weekly during hospitalization and then as clinically indicated. Intravenous tacrolimus will be converted to an oral equivalent dose prior to discharge and both immunosuppressives will be tapered beginning at day +100 after transplantation and eliminated by day +180 when clinically feasible. Accrual Period: The estimated accrual period is three years. Patients will be followed for 100 days post transplantation for evaluation of the primary endpoint, with additional follow-up to two years after transplantation for evaluation of secondary endpoints.
This phase II trial studies how well bortezomib works in treating patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in remission. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth
This is a multicenter, single arm open label Phase 2b Study of oral ezatiostat (Telintra®) in Patients who are RBC tranfusion dependent, Low to INT-1 IPSS risk, non-del (5q) Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS).
The purpose of the trial is to study how the elderly patients who have previously undergone treatment for acute myeloid leukemia and high-rRisk myelodysplastic syndromes, respond to a combined treatment with azacitidine and lenalidomide.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if SB1518 can help to control myelodysplastic syndrome. The safety of the drug will also be studied. SB1518 is designed to block JAK2 and FLT3. SB1518 may have anti-tumor activity in certain leukemias, myelofibrosis, and lymphoma.
Study TLK199.2107 is a multicenter, single arm, open-label Phase 2 study of oral ezatiostat (Telintra®) in patients with lenalidomide (Revlimid®) refractory or resistant, red blood cell (RBC) transfusion-dependent, Low to Intermediate-1 IPSS risk, del5q Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS).
