Filter by:RATIONALE: Giving low doses of chemotherapy and radiation therapy before a donor umbilical cord blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells when they do not exactly match the patient's blood. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune system and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving antithymocyte globulin before transplant and cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil after transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects of giving combination chemotherapy together with total-body irradiation before donor umbilical cord blood transplant and to see how well they work in treating patients with advanced hematologic cancer, metastatic breast cancer, or kidney cancer.
The purpose of this study is to identify and characterize blood diseases presenting at Shanghai hospitals and to compare them with respect to clinical presentation, phenotype, molecular characteristics, benzene or other exposures and genetic susceptibility.
Pre-transplant conditioning will include Fludarabine and dose-escalated Busulfan on days -6, -5, -4, and -3. Daily treatment doses will be adjusted to achieve target AUCs (area under the plasma concentration time curve). Day 0 is the day of hematopoietic progenitor cell reinfusion. Supportive care will be based on institutional guidelines. Blood samples will be collected for dose modification based on the AUC levels. Dose escalation will proceed to determine the maximally tolerated level or AUC to evaluate the potential therapeutic benefit of higher doses of busulfan.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find out if Revlimid can help to control the disease in patients with relapsed/refractory acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with abnormalities in chromosome number 5. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
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 vorinostat when given together with cytarabine and etoposide in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndromes or myeloproliferative disorders. Vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine and etoposide, 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 cytarabine and etoposide may kill more cancer cells.
This phase II trial is studying how well belinostat works in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndromes. 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.
RATIONALE: Lenalidomide may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Lenalidomide may also stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. 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. Azacitidine may also cause cancer cells to look more like normal cells, and to grow and spread more slowly. Giving lenalidomide together with azacitidine may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide and azacitidine in treating patients with advanced myelodysplastic syndromes.

Primary Objective: -To determine the dose and schedule combination of 5-Azacitidine, when used as maintenance treatment after allogeneic transplantation for high-risk AML / MDS. Secondary Objective: -To assess the effect of treatment on survival after allogeneic transplantation for high-risk AML / MDS.
