Active clinical trials for "Leukemia"

Background: Complete molecular remission under imatinib, therapeutic interruption possible for patients in complete remission proved in different trials. Purpose: Stopping imatinib in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in complete molecular remission during two following years. The objectives of this study are to determine the rate of patients without a molecular relapse and so the rate of molecular relapse, to determine and to seek for clinical and biological CML-related factors predictive for a molecular relapse after imatinib discontinuation. These objectives require to increase the number of study patients to be enrolled for accurate statistical considerations. It will allow to predict which patients have to be proposed for discontinuation without risk of molecular relapse and to select the patients who need to continue or reinforce the treatment to achieve a complete long term eradication of the disease.

This study is designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody LFB-R603 in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia who have received at least one prior fludarabine-containing regimen.

The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose or a recommended dose of oral AP24534 in a defined schedule in patients with refractory or advanced chronic myelogenous leukemia and other refractory hematologic malignancies.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the anti-cancer activity and safety of Bay 43-006, in patients who have Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia that resisted to Gleevec treatment, one of the standard medication administered for these patients.

This is a phase I study designed to test the safety of oral clofarabine when given as consolidation therapy to older patients with AML in remission.

This phase II trial is studying how well umbilical cord blood transplant from a donor works in treating patients with hematological cancer. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation (TBI) before a donor umbilical cord blood transplant helps stop the growth of cancer and abnormal cells and helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from an unrelated donor, that do not exactly match the patient's blood, 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 (called graft-versus-host disease). Giving cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil before and after transplant may stop this from happening.

For relapsed and refractory leukemia patients induction chemotherapy prior to initiating a conditioning regimen will decrease residual leukemia (as measured by bone marrow leukemia blast percentage) at the time of HCT. This should lead to reduced relapse while still maintaining low transplant related mortality.

The primary objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety and the efficacy in patients with malignant lymphoma or acute leukemia who are repeatedly administered for SR29142 5 days in two dosage groups. Secondary objectives are to determine the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of SR29142 , to assess anti-SR29142 antibody production in patients with malignant lymphoma and acute leukemia, and to estimate the optimal dosage of SR29142 for Japanese patients from the results of efficacy and safety evaluations.

This is a 2-phase study during which patients with select myeloid leukemias or advanced myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), who have failed, refused or are not eligible for standard treatment, will receive investigational study drug ARRY-520. The study has 3 parts. The first phase of the study, Phase 1, has 2 parts. In the first part of Phase 1, patients with select myeloid leukemias or advanced MDS will receive increasing doses of study drug on different schedules in order to achieve the highest dose possible that will not cause unacceptable side effects. Approximately 30 patients (per schedule) from the US will be enrolled in Part 1 (Completed). In the second part of Phase 1, patients with advanced MDS will receive the best dose of study drug and schedule determined from the first part of the study. Approximately 10 patients from the US will be enrolled in Part 2 (Completed). In the third part of the study, Phase 2, patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or advanced MDS will receive the best dose of study drug and schedule determined from the first part of the study and will be followed to see what side effects the study drug causes and to see what effectiveness it has, if any, in treating the cancer. Approximately 40 patients from the US will be enrolled in Part 3 (Withdrawn).

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of BMS-936564 (MDX-1338) in relapsed Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and other selected B-cell cancers and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the drug alone in relapsed/refractory AML
