Active clinical trials for "Leukemia"

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if PCI-32765 (Ibrutinib) combined with rituximab can help to control CLL and SLL. The safety of this combination will also be studied. Ibrutinib is designed to stop a protein from working in the cells, which may cause the cancer cells to die or stop growing. Rituximab is designed to attach to cancer cells and damage them, which may cause the cells to die.

To determine whether a radiolabelled antibody that targets the bone marrow (the 'anti-CD66') can be administered safely to patients as part of the preparative treatment prior to haematopoietic stem cell transplantation ('a bone marrow transplant'). Can the radiolabelled antibody be shown to effectively target the bone marrow in these patients. If it can, could this result in better outcomes after transplantation.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is one of the best, and sometimes the only, option for the treatment of leukemia. However, relapse rate was still the key question to influence the overall survival after transplantation, even in standard risk leukemia.There were good evidences that natural killer cells and T regulatory cells, which were expanded and stimulated by the application of IL-2, could mediate protection against GvHD while maintaining graft anti-tumor activity as a positive side effect. Meanwhile, it was found in our previous pilot study that low-dose IL-2 subcutaneous administration from 100 days for a prolonged period could be a safe and effective strategy to prevent relapse in acute lymphoblastic malignancy patients with high risk of recurrence after unmanipulated allo-HSCT. The study hypothesis: Prevention of relapse using low dose IL-2 following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with standard risk acute leukemia can reduce relapse rate improve survival

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of oral azacitidine when administered once daily as two 150-mg tablets, including the effect of food, and to evaluate the bioavailability of oral azacitidine 300-mg when administered as two 150-mg tablets relative to three 100-mg tablets.

In this study, the efficacy and safety of two radotinib doses, 300 mg twice daily and 400 mg twice daily, will be compared with imatinib 400 mg once daily in newly diagnosed patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in the chronic phase (CML-CP).

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if researchers can successfully and safely give HSCT patients an infusion of white blood cells (called T-cells) that have been genetically changed. The process of changing the DNA (the genetic material in cells) of these T-cells is called "gene transfer." Researchers want to learn if these genetically-changed T-cells are effective in attacking cancer cells in patients with advanced B-cell lymphoma or leukemia, after they have received standard allogeneic HSCT. Researchers want to find out the highest dose of these special T-cells that can be given safely to leukemia and lymphoma patients. Researchers also want to learn how long the changed T-cells stay in your body, and if adding them to standard transplant can improve how you respond to treatment.

Patients with refractory and relapse leukemia had poor outcome even with allogeneic stem cell transplantation. In our previous retrospective study, the overall survival is 14.6+/-8.8% while 90% patients eventually relapsed with marrow ablative conditioning mostly standard iv-Bu-Cy or Cy-TBI. The accumulated TRM is 29.5+/-11.5%. Thus our data suggested that the conventional transplantation approach may not be able to overcome the refractory disease. A new strategy to combined a low dose regimen following intensive chemotherapy for tumor reduction seems to be effect in both relapsed. high-risk and refractory AML or ALL. In this study, we focus on a new treatment strategy for particular refractory AML patients.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of OCV-501 in patients with AML who completed the Study 311-10-001 and were judged that there was no relapse by any inspections in the end of the study.

This is an open label, multicenter, exploratory, single arm, two-stage study aiming to explore efficacy and safety of lenalidomide and dexamethasone combination (LD) as first line therapy in previously untreated patients with primary Plasma Cell leukemia (PPCL).

This randomized phase II trial is studying how alvocidib, cytarabine, and mitoxantrone hydrochloride work compared to cytarabine and daunorubicin hydrochloride in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia. Alvocidib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine, mitoxantrone hydrochloride, and daunorubicin hydrochloride work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether giving alvocidib, cytarabine, and mitoxantrone hydrochloride is more effective than giving cytarabine and daunorubicin hydrochloride in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
