Active clinical trials for "Leukemia"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Clofarabine in combination with Busulfan is effective as a preparative transplant regimen for the treatment of leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes

This is an open-label, Phase I study to determine the highest amount of the study drug, ON 01910.Na, that can be safety given to patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or refractory leukemias. Patients will receive ON 01910.Na (at a starting dose of 650 mg/m2) intravenously by 3-day continuous infusion once every 2 weeks. Successive courses will use longer infusion times and/or higher doses of the drug until toxicity, effectiveness, or ineffectiveness is recognized. In addition, the amount of drug in the blood will be measured, any antitumor activity will be documented, and the biological effect of ON 01910.Na on cell-cycle pathways will be evaluated in peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

This study has a phase 1 and a phase 2 component. In phase 1, the objective is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of lenalidomide when after azacitidine. In phase 2, the objective is to determine the efficacy of the combination treatment.

This protocol is a multicenter, national, open-label, single-arm, non-controlled study designed to establish the efficacy (in terms of response and survival) and safety of panobinostat in combination with idarubicin and cytarabine and in monotherapy in patients with newly-diagnosed AML aged 65 years or older.

A bone marrow transplant, which is a type of stem cell transplant, is a treatment option for people with leukemia or lymphoma. Recently, stem cell transplants using umbilical cord blood have become a treatment option for people with these types of cancers. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a stem cell transplant using umbilical cord blood, along with lower doses of chemotherapy, to treat people with leukemia or lymphoma.

This is an open-label, multicenter, phase 2 study of alisertib (MLN8237) in participants with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

Randomized Phase-III, two-arm, open-label, multi-center study in adult patients with AML and NPM1 mutation. Before Amendment No. 4 (December 2013): Primary Efficacy Objective: Evaluation of efficacy based on event-free survival (EFS) after induction and consolidation chemotherapy plus all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) with or without gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) in adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and mutant nucleophosmin-1 (NPM1) After Amendment No. 4 (December 2013): Primary Efficacy Objective: Evaluation of efficacy based on overall survival (OS) after induction and consolidation chemotherapy plus all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) with or without gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) in adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and mutant nucleophosmin-1 (NPM1)

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if 5-aza-2 deoxycytidine (decitabine) given in combination with Mylotarg (gemtuzumab ozogamicin) can help to control Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or Myelofibrosis (MF). The safety of this drug combination will also be studied.

To evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetic profiles of KW-0761, the anti-CC chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) antibody, when administered weekly for 8 weeks as an intravenous infusion at a dose of 1.0 mg/kg in relapsed subjects with CCR4-positive adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma.

This phase I trial is studying the safety and potential efficacy of infusing non-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched ex vivo expanded cord blood progenitors following treatment with clofarabine and cytarabine for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The combination of clofarabine, cytarabine (Ara-C) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) has been tested in earlier studies for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia. In these previous clinical trials, this combination of drugs has been shown to have an anti-leukemia effect. However, the combination of clofarabine and Ara-C is profoundly myelosuppressive and immunosuppressive causing periods of neutropenia potentially lasting more than three weeks. During this period, patients are at increased risk of infections that can result in an increased risk of death. G-CSF is a growth factor that is used to help the white blood cells recover more quickly, but even with G-CSF, the use of clofarabine and Ara-C is often limited by the need to take long breaks between treatments to allow blood counts to recover. In our lab we have developed a method of growing or "expanding" blood stem cells (cells that give rise to the blood system) from umbilical cord blood. We are doing this study to find out if giving these expanded cells after chemotherapy is safe, helps the blood system recover more quickly from chemotherapy to allow shorter breaks between treatments, and decreases the risk of infection
