Active clinical trials for "Leukemia"

Pilot study of the efficacy and tolerance of the adjunction of a Fish oil emulsion to daunorubicin and cytarabine chemotherapy for the treatment of Acute MYeloblastic Leukemia of Younger patients (under 61 years) with high-risk cytogenetics.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of vorinostat when given together with fludarabine phosphate, clofarabine, and busulfan in treating patients with acute leukemia that is under control (remission) or has returned (relapse) undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate, clofarabine, and busulfan, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving vorinostat together with fludarabine phosphate, clofarabine, and busulfan before a donor stem cell transplant may be a better treatment for patients with acute leukemia.

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of intense combination treatment including MabThera/Rituxan (rituximab), followed by MabThera/Rituxan maintenance therapy in patients with B-cell CLL who are naive to chemotherapy. The anticipated time on study treatment is 2.5 years.

The purpose of this study is to investigate safety and efficacy of SyB L-0501 after 2-day intravenous infusion at a dose of 100 mg/m2/day to patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and the best dose of ofatumumab and dinaciclib and to see how well they work in treating patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia, small lymphocytic lymphoma, or B-cell prolymphocytic leukemia. Monoclonal antibodies, such as ofatumumab, can find cancer cells and help kill them. Dinaciclib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving ofatumumab together with dinaciclib may kill more cancer cells.

This phase II trial studies how well combination chemotherapy and ofatumumab work in treating patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, vincristine sulfate, doxorubicin hydrochloride, and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Immunotherapy with ofatumumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving combination chemotherapy together with ofatumumab may be an effective treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma.

This is a Phase 1, open-label, multicenter study evaluating the safety and PK profile of ABT-199 under a once daily dosing schedule. Two arms will be implemented for dose escalation: Arm A, CLL/SLL subjects and Arm B, NHL subjects. Arm A is designed to enroll approximately 116 subjects with relapsed or refractory CLL or SLL and Arm B is designed to enroll approximately 95 subjects with relapsed or refractory NHL. Fifty-six subjects were enrolled in Arm A and approximately 55 subjects will be enrolled in Arm B during the dose escalation portion of the study, with the objective of defining dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) and the MTD. Once the MTD is declared for the arm, approximately 60 additional CLL/SLL subjects in Arm A and approximately 20 additional DLBCL subjects and 20 additional follicular lymphoma subjects in Arm B will be enrolled in an expanded safety portion of the study at the recommended phase 2 dose (RPTD) and schedule.

The study is not currently recruiting new subjects due to an interruption in funding from its sponsors. Efforts are under way to re-establish funding, however, the study is currently on-hold pending the outcome of these re-funding efforts. There have been no safety concerns identified during the study This is an open label, single dose level, phase II study in two patient groups (CML and AML) using genetic randomisation. Consented and eligible HLA A2+ve patients will be vaccinated with two DNA vaccines and HLA A2 -ve patients will be followed up with molecular monitoring only. The objectives are to evaluate: 1) Molecular response following p.DOM-epitope DNA vaccination in patients with CML (BCR-ABL, WT1) and AML (WT1) at weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and at months 6, 12, 18 and 24. 2) Time to disease progression, 2 year survival rate (patients with AML) 3) Correlation of molecular responses with immunological responses. Primary Objective: CML: Molecular response of BCR-ABL. AML: Time to disease progression. Secondary Objective: Molecular response of WT1 transcript levels, immune responses to WT1 and DOM, Toxicity, CML-Time to disease progression, next treatment and survival, AML-2 year survival, overall survival

This phase I trial studies the effects and safety of adding azacitidine (5-AzaC) to the standard of care (Soc) for patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) after being treated with donor stem cell transplant. SoC includes giving an infusion of the donor's white blood cells (donor lymphocyte infusion or DLI) to boost the anticancer effects of the transplant. Giving 5-AzaC after DLI may alter the function of T-cells resulting in reduced incidence of graft versus host disease (GVHD) while maintaining the anticancer effects.

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and the best dose of veliparib when given together with bendamustine hydrochloride and rituximab and to see how well they work in treating patients with lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or solid tumors that have come back or have not responded to treatment. Veliparib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bendamustine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Others interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving veliparib together with bendamustine hydrochloride and rituximab may kill more cancer cells.
