Active clinical trials for "Leukemia"

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine and clofarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying clofarabine when given together with cytarabine to see how well they work in treating patients with refractory or relapsed acute myeloid leukemia or acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

This is a phase II multicenter, non-comparative, open label study in older previously untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia patients, requiring therapy, aimed at defining the efficacy profile (ORR, CRR and TTP) of pentostatin and cyclophosphamide given in combination with Ofatumumab (PCO).

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if E7070 in combination with idarubicin, cytarabine, and dexamethasone can help to control the disease in patients with either AML or high-risk MDS that has relapsed. The safety of the drug combination will also be studied.

Patients with acute myeloid leukemia who experience a relapse after at least one prior regimen may be enrolled in this trial. In addition, acute myeloid leukemia patients who are in complete remission with high risk to relapse may be eligible for this trial. The trial will examine whether monotherapy with BI 836858 is safe and tolerable at escalating dose levels.

This randomized clinical trial studies liposomal cytarabine-daunorubicin CPX-351 in treating patients with untreated myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as liposomal cytarabine-daunorubicin CPX-351, 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.

The goal of Phase I of this clinical research study is find the highest tolerable dose of clofarabine that can be given with decitabine, idarubicin, and cytarabine to patients with acute leukemia. The goal of Phase II of this study is to learn if decitabine followed by the combination of clofarabine, idarubicin, and cytarabine can help to control acute leukemia. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied. Decitabine and idarubicin are designed to damage the DNA (the genetic material of cells). This may cause cancer cells to die. Clofarabine is designed to interfere with the growth and development of cancer cells. Cytarabine is designed to insert itself into DNA and stop the DNA from repairing itself.

Allocation: Non-Randomized Endpoint Classification: Safety/Feasibility Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment Study to assess the feasibility and safety of the infusion of a T cells receptor (TCR) alfa beta depleted graft in pediatric patients affected by malignant and non-malignant hematological disorders and receiving an Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from a Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) partially matched family donor.

The protocol treatment is to evaluate clinical effects of donor-derived natural killer cells that are given after HLA-mismatched hematopoietic cell transplantation.

This study examines a new oral chemotherapy drug called tosedostat, in combination with cytarabine or decitabine. Tosedostat is thought to work by decreasing the availability of amino acids (building blocks the cell needs to make proteins) in cells. It has been shown in early studies to have activity against a variety of cancers, including leukemias. Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with specific genetic mutations have a poorer response to chemotherapy and a higher risk of relapse after treatment. Researchers are looking to see if combinations of chemotherapy drugs may improve outcomes for patients that do not respond as well with the current chemotherapy regimens, without increasing the risks of treatment.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of IMGN529 in patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL).
