Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic, B-Cell"

Daily intake of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), which is the major component of the Mediterranean diet and also a source of monounsaturated fat, may be partly responsible for the increased life expectancy of the Mediterranean people. A high dietary intake of EVOO is correlated with lower incidence of cancer, cardiovascular disease, metabolic diseases, Alzheimer's disease and osteoporosis Oleocanthal, a phenolic derivative of extra virgin olive oil, has important health promoting anti-cancerous properties, since it can inhibit the growth and promote the apoptosis of several cancer cells. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of dietary intake of olive oil rich in oleocanthal on hematological, metabolical, cell progression markers and disease progression in patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. The aim is also to study the possible association of apoptosis in the mechanism of action of virgin olive oil phenols in a patient with CLL in order to find the possible mechanism of the cellular action of oleocanthal in neoplasia. After the screening of >300 EVOO samples the investigators selected an EVOO with high oleocanthal and oleacin concentration of 416 and 284 mg/Kg respectively (EVOO OC/OL). Pilot dietary intervention was made in a group of 21 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who did not follow any treatment. EVOO was administered 40 ml/day for six months. Biochemical, hematological and molecular markers were studied six month before the intervention and six month during the intervention

The purpose of this study was to confirm the clinical benefit observed in the pivotal registration study, Hx-CD20-406. The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) required that a randomized study be conducted in CLL patients with bulky fludarabine-refractory disease as a specific obligation for grant of conditional approval for ARZERRA™ in the European Union (EU). This study compared ofatumumab with the physicians' choice of therapy.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Amplimexon (imexon for injection) is effective in the treatment of indolent and aggressive lymphomas that have progressed after treatment with standard therapies.

This was a Phase 1 multicenter study of bendamustine, rituximab and TRU-016 (BRT) in subjects with relapsed indolent B-cell lymphoma. This was a multiple-dose escalation study to determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of TRU-016 given in combination with rituximab and bendamustine and to determine a safe dosing regimen for the combination in up to 12 subjects with relapsed indolent lymphoma. The originally planned Phase 2 portion, an open-label, randomized study to evaluate the efficacy of BRT compared with BR, was not conducted.

This is a prospective, multicenter, open label, non-randomized, phase I/II-study to define safety and efficacy of BRL combination in relapsed/refractory patients and to recommend a safe and efficacious dose for future phase II/III study. Hypothesis: The simultaneous administration of BRL in relapsed CLL is feasible, safe and efficient.

This phase II trial studies how well dasatinib works in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Dasatinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

The Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Research Consortium (CRC) is conducting a two-arm, multi-center phase II trial of Revlimid® and rituximab for Relapsed or Refractory CLL for patients under the age of 65 and patients 65 years and older. Lenalidomide (Revlimid) is an immunomodulatory agent with promising clinical activity in CLL and is FDA approved for treatment of relapsed multiple myeloma and 5q-myelodysplastic syndrome. Rituximab (Rituxan) is a monoclonal antibody to CD20 that is approved for the treatment of CLL. The primary objective of this study is to determine the overall response rate of the combination of Revlimid® and rituximab in previously treated CLL patients. All patients will receive treatment with Revlimid® starting at a low dose that will be dose escalated based on individual patient tolerability. The combination of Revlimid and Rituximab will be administered for a maximum of 7 cycles. Patients with residual leukemia following seven cycles of treatment with the combination may elect to continue on protocol for an additional 6 cycles of single agent Revlimid® consolidation.

The purpose of this study is to establish the safety of orally administered PCI-32765 in combination with fludarabine/cyclophosphamide/rituximab (FCR) and bendamustine/rituximab (BR) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma(SLL).

This phase I/II trial studies the safety and toxicity of post-transplant treatment with donor T cells engineered to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) targeting CD19 in patients who have had a matched related allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant for a CD19+ B cell malignancy.

The overall purpose of the study was to determine if MEDI-551, when used in combination with salvage chemotherapy (bendamustine) in participants with relapsed or refractory CLL who are not eligible for Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT), had superior efficacy compared to rituximab in the same population.
