Active clinical trials for "Blast Crisis"

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of donor lymphocyte infusion and to see how well it works in treating patients with persistent, relapsed (disease that has returned), or progressing cancer after donor hematopoietic cell transplantation. White blood cells from donors may be able to kill cancer cells in patients with cancer that has come back (recurrent) after a donor hematopoietic cell transplant.

The purpose of this study is to provide patients with imatinib resistant/intolerant chronic myeloid leukemia - in blast crisis, accelerated phase and chronic phase, who have been previously enrolled to CAMN107A2109 and benefit from the treatment, with access to nilotinib (AMN107) in Poland until such time as the treatment with this drug is financed by the National Health Found in Poland (via 'therapeutic program') or for a period of 18 months, whichever comes first.

Maintain and monitor long-term hematological and cytogenetic responses previously obtained by patients participating in the [CAMN107A2109] study

In this study participants with relapsed/refractory leukemia will be given MK-0457 in sequential cohorts and with varying treatment duration to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for MK-0457.

RATIONALE: Low dose deferasirox may be safe and effective in treating patients who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplant and have iron overload. PURPOSE: This pilot clinical trial studies safety and tolerability of deferasirox in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients who have iron overload. Effect of low dose deferasirox on labile plasma iron is also examined.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of combined chemotherapy treatment (CLAG regimen) with Imatinib Mesylate (Gleevec) in patients with AML.

In this study researchers want to find out more about the side effects of a new drug for Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) blastic phase (BP) and if this disease will respond better to nilotinib combined with standard hyper-CVAD therapy rather than hyper-CVAD alone. Hyper-CVAD is a combination of cyclophosphamide, mesna, vincristine (vincristine sulfate), doxorubicin (doxorubicin hydrochloride), dexamethasone, methotrexate, cytarabine, and rituximab (only for patients with cluster of differentiation [CD]20 positive disease). Researchers don't know all the ways that this drug may affect people

This is a multicenter, Phase 2 Simon 2-Stage study designed to assess the safety, tolerability, PK, and efficacy of oral zelavespib (PU-H71) administered daily in adults with accelerated phase (10% to 19% blasts in peripheral or bone marrow) myeloproliferative neoplasm, with or without ongoing concomitant treatment with ruxolitinib.

This study evaluates the use of ETC-1907206 in combination with dasatinib in certain types of blood cancers. The first phase of the study (1A) is designed to find the highest tolerated dose of ETC-1907206, while the second phase (1B) will assess the safety and tolerability of the recommended dose of ETC-1907206. ETC-1907206 has been designed to block the activity of an enzyme of the body known as Mnk kinase, which is thought to be involved in the development of a variety of cancers.

This study will determine the safety and applicability of experimental forms of umbilical cord blood (UCB) transplantation for patients with high risk hematologic malignancies who might benefit from a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) but who do not have a standard donor option (no available HLA-matched related donor (MRD), HLA-matched unrelated donor (MUD)), or single UCB unit with adequate cell number and HLA-match).
