Active clinical trials for "Leukemia"

RATIONALE: A peripheral stem cell transplant may be able to replace blood-forming cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving total-body irradiation together with fludarabine, thiotepa, and antithymocyte globulin before transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well a donor stem cell transplant works in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia in remission.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of sirolimus to prevent graft versus host disease (GVHD) in patients following stem cell transplant from a related donor.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of homoharringtonine in treating patients who have refractory acute promyelocytic leukemia.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of arsenic trioxide in treating patients who have chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia that has not responded to previous treatment.

RATIONALE: The BL22 immunotoxin can locate tumor cells and kill them without harming normal cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of the BL22 immunotoxin in treating patients who have non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

This pilot study will use a mixed methods approach to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of Integrative Therapies, a bedside service offering mindfulness-based interventions (still meditation, meditative movement, relaxation techniques, and massage therapy) as non-pharmacologic treatment for symptom management in newly diagnosed adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) patients undergoing induction chemotherapy

This is a non-randomised, open-label phase I study of an investigational medicinal product (IMP) consisting of a HLA-A*02:01 restricted HA-1H T cell receptor transduced T cell (MDG1021) immunotherapy for relapsed or persistent hematologic malignancies after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The aim of the study is to determine the recommended phase II dose of MDG1021.

The purpose of this study is to see what dose of 225Ac-lintuzumab is safest to give to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients who are in remission but still have minimal residual disease (MRD). About 12 subjects will be asked to take part in this phase 1, 3+3 dose-escalation study. In addition to confirming the safety profile of postremission therapy with 225Ac-lintuzumab, preliminary evidence of efficacy will be assessed by estimating progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), and serially evaluating for MRD using cytogenetics, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), or flow cytometric assays, as applicable.

This phase II trial studies how well pevonedistat works with azacitidine compared to azacitidine alone in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Pevonedistat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as azacitidine, 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. It is not yet known if pevonedistat with azacitidine or azacitidine alone may work better in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of TK216 and decitabine when given together in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as TK216 and decitabine, 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.
