Active clinical trials for "Leukemia"

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide when given together with cytarabine in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving lenalidomide together with cytarabine may kill more cancer cells

This study will be conducted to assess the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of panobinostat given 3 times a week (administered on weeks 2 and 3 of a 4 week cycle) in combination with induction chemotherapy (idarubicin and cytarabine) in newly diagnosed patients with a cytopathologically confirmed diagnosis of high-risk AML, and to investigate the safety of the combination in this regimen.

The study will compare the efficacy and safety of Nilotinib versus Imatinib in newly diagnosed Chinese patients with CML-CP.

To determine whether the WT1 vaccine causes an immune response which is safe and able to keep the leukemia from coming back.

Long term disease-free survival (DFS) of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is still poor. Recently, so-called "targeted therapy" for cancer has been introduced to the treatment of patients with AML. This phase II clinical trial will explore the efficacy, safety, and pharmacodynamics of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor pazopanib in patients with relapsed or refractory AML or patients with AML who are not eligible for intensive treatment. Biomarker studies will be included to study whether the targets are indeed inhibited and whether this leads to decreased BM angiogenesis. Toxicity assessments will be included, and the antileukemic effectiveness will be studied.

This randomized phase II trial studies how well giving decitabine with or without bortezomib works in treating older patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as decitabine, 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. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether decitabine works better when given with or without bortezomib in treating acute myeloid leukemia.

The purpose of this study is to determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of decitabine administered to patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

RATIONALE: Patient abstract not available PURPOSE: Patient abstract not available

Study hypothesis: Treatment with dasatinib 100 mg QD is safe and efficacious when given to patients with Ph+ ALL in the post SCT setting.

The main purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated and efficient dose of GRASPA® in combination with polychemotherapy treatment of elderly patients with ALL, 55 years and over, Philadelphia chromosome-negative (ALL Ph-).
