Active clinical trials for "Leukemia"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ibrutinib versus rituximab in adult Asia Pacific region patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL).

The present project is a multicenter, phase II trial which aims at evaluating if the administration of azacytidine (Vidaza®) combined to donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) could improve the response rate to DLI in the population of patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

This pilot phase II trial studies how well giving donor T cells after donor stem cell transplant works in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. In a donor stem cell transplant, the donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Giving an infusion of the donor's T cells (donor lymphocyte infusion) after the transplant may help increase this effect.

Background: - Moxetumomab pasudotox is an experimental non-chemotherapy cancer treatment drug. It targets CD22, a molecule on the surface of essentially all hairy cell leukemia cells. Moxetumomab pasudotox binds to CD22, goes into the cell, and releases a toxin which kills the cell. In a phase I trial it had activity in relapsed/refractory hairy cell leukemia with safety profile supporting further clinical study (http://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22355053). This is a phase III multicenter trial designed to confirm these results.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if BL-8040 in combination with cytarabine (Ara-C) can help to control the disease in patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) that has relapsed or did not respond adequately to previous treatment. The safety of the study drug combination will also be studied.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of azacitidine when given together with cytarabine and mitoxantrone hydrochloride in treating patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as azacitidine, cytarabine, and mitoxantrone hydrochloride, 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 help cytarabine and mitoxantrone hydrochloride work better by making the cancer cells more sensitive to the drugs

This phase II trial studies how well T cell depleted donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant works in preventing graft-versus-host disease in younger patients with high risk hematologic malignancies. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Removing a subset of the T cells from the donor cells before transplant may stop this from happening.

This was an open-label, multicenter, global study to determine the efficacy of ABT-199 (Venetoclax) monotherapy in participants with relapsed/refractory (R/R) or previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) harboring 17p deletion.

This randomized phase II trial studies how well cytarabine with or without SCH 900776 works in treating adult patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or stopping them from dividing. SCH 900776 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether cytarabine is more effective with or without SCH 900776 in treating acute myeloid leukemia.

The goal of this study is to characterize the safety, maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and preliminary efficacy profile of IPI-145 given in combination with rituximab, or bendamustine plus rituximab, to subjects with select relapsed/refractory hematologic malignancies.
