Filter by:The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if clofarabine when given in combination with cytarabine can help to control myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) after the disease could not be controlled with standard therapy. The safety of this treatment will also be studied. Clofarabine is designed to interfere with the growth and development of cancer cells. Cytarabine is designed to insert itself into DNA (the genetic material of cells) of cancer cells and stop the DNA from repairing itself.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether lenalidomide can stop the growth of leukemia stem cells and can be used to prevent the return of leukemia cells after a transplant.
This phase II trial studies how well cyclophosphamide works in preventing chronic graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplant in patients with hematological malignancies. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before transplantation helps stop the growth of cancer cells and prevents the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. Healthy stem cells from a donor that are infused into the patient help the patient's bone marrow make blood cells; red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes, however, the transplanted donor cells can cause an immune response against the body's normal cells, which is called graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Giving cyclophosphamide after transplant may prevent this from happening or may make chronic GVHD less severe.
This study has been designed to investigate the safety and feasibility of using a chemotherapy drug, Clofarabine, to reduce the disease burden before a donor transplant, in patients with high risk Acute Myeloid Leukaemia or Myelodysplasia (MDS). In this study Clofarabine chemotherapy will be given a few days before a reduced or full intensity donor stem cell transplant and without waiting for normal blood counts to recover. It is hoped that this approach may improve the outcome for patients with high risk AML and MDS after their transplant.
Determine the safety and tolerability of POL6326 when used as a single mobilization agent.
In Myelodysplastic syndrome, epigenetic treatments such as Azacitidine and Decitabine have been highlighted in phase 3 studies. However, as the 1st line treatment, it has not been evaluated the head to head comparison of two drugs. This study is a retrospective study to compare the efficacy of two drugs.
5-azacytidine treatment prolongs survival in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), but does not cure the disease. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation is a curative treatment option but is associated with a high risk treatment-related morbidity and mortality. In the current trial allogeneic stem cell transplantation will be compared to 5-azacytidine only treatment according to donor availability in elderly patients with MDS (55-70 years).
The purpose of this study is to investigate the overall response rate (ORR) and safety when treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome with decitabine. Decitabine is to be administered as long as there is evidence of clinical benefit.
This is a two-arm, open-label study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and assess the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of BMN 673 in patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) and Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL). Arm 1 will enroll patients with either AML or MDS; Arm 2 will enroll patients with either CLL or MCL.
CWP232291 blocks proliferation of cancer cells via activation of caspases. Active caspase have been shown to target beta-catenin, the hallmark of canonical Wnt signaling, for degradation through caspase-directed cleavage. CWP232291 targets beta-catenin for degradation and thereby inhibits the expression of cell cycle and anti-apoptotic genes such as cyclin D1 and survivin.
