Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute"

This phase II clinical trial studies how well two donors stem cell transplant work in treating patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies. After receiving radiation to help further treat the disease, patients receive a dose of donors' T cells. T cells can fight infection and react against cancer cells. Two days after donors' T cells are given, patients receive cyclophosphamide (CY) to help destroy the most active T cells that may cause tissue damage (called graft versus host disease or GVHD). Some of the less reactive T cells are not destroyed by CY and they remain in the patient to help fight infection. A few days after the CY is given, patients receive donors' stem cells to help their blood counts recover. Using two donors' stem cell transplant instead of one donor may be more effective in treating patients with high-risk disease and may prevent the disease from coming back.

This was initially a phase I/II, open-label non-randomized study using an investigational new drug, TL32711, in patients with AML, MDS and ALL, however, the phase II portion was never initiated. This study initially targeted subjects 60 years of age and older (with non-M3 AML who have relapsed or refractory disease after standard therapy or who are newly diagnosed and subjects 18-59 (relapsed or refractory after failing 3 prior lines of therapy), and then targeted subjects 18 years of age and older with MDS and ALL.

This phase II trial studies how well bortezomib works in treating patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in remission. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth

This trial is proposes to build on our experience and is designed to maximize early (day 3-14) and late (day 60-71) donor-derived natural killer (NK) cell expansion and function in vivo. The proposed platform will allow us the unique opportunity to compare in vivo function from a transplanted umbilical cord blood (UCB) source (presumed to contain NK progenitors requiring "education" in the recipient).

This is a phase 1, dose escalation study of Plerixafor in combination with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor , Daunorubicin and Cytarabine in adults patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia .

This study is intended to determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose of a drug, OXi4503 (combretastatin A1 diphosphate, CA1P, OXiGENE), in patients with relapsed and refractory AML and MDS.

This is a phase I/II open label study being conducted to evaluate the overall safety and initial effectiveness of an investigational drug, Eltrombopag in patients who are 60 years of age and older and who have Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML). Eltrombopag is an investigational drug, which means it has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in this type of disease. Approximately 35 people will be enrolled on this study at the University of Pennsylvania

This randomized phase II trial studies how well giving rasburicase together with allopurinol works in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. Rasburicase may reduce the level of uric acid in the blood. Allopurinol may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known which dose of rasburicase is more effective in treating hematologic malignancies when given together with or without allopurinol.

To assess the proportion of patients with donor neutrophil engraftment within 30 days of allogeneic transplant. To assess the incidence of acute GvHD during the first 100 days after transplantation.

This is an open label randomized controlled phase II study of AS1411 combined with Cytarabine in the treatment of patients with primary refractory or relapsed acute myeloid leukemia.
