Active clinical trials for "Leukemia"

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining UCN-01 with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of fludarabine when given with UCN-01 in treating patients with recurrent or refractory low-grade lymphoma or leukemia.

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Compassionate use refers to providing a drug to a patient on humanitarian grounds before the drug has received official approval. PURPOSE: Compassionate use of Campath-1H in treating patients who have refractory prolymphocytic leukemia or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of combining STI571 and chemotherapy in treating patients who have chronic myelogenous leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. STI571 may stop the growth of leukemia cells. Combining chemotherapy and STI571 may kill more cancer cells

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. STI571 may stop the growth of leukemia cells. Combining chemotherapy and STI571 may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy plus STI571 in treating patients who have chronic myelogenous leukemia or acute lymphocytic leukemia.

Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining flavopiridol and cytarabine with mitoxantrone in treating patients who have acute leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells.

Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells. This phase II trial is studying several different combination chemotherapy regimens to see how well they work in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of monoclonal antibody therapy in treating patients who have chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical and laboratory safety associated with the administration of GVAX leukemia vaccine and to determine the feasibility of generation of GVAX leukemia vaccine in subjects with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML).

The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if BMS-354825 will have activity, defined by hematologic response, in subjects who have accelerated phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who are resistant to or intolerant to imatinib mesylate. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.

The purpose of this study is to see what effect an investigational drug (BMS-354825) has on subjects who are currently in the myeloid blast phase of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and who are either resistant to or intolerant of imatinib mesylate. Another purpose of the study is to see what side effects this drug may have on subjects.
