Active clinical trials for "Hematologic Neoplasms"

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of weekly intravenous (IV) administration of XmAb14045 and to determine the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) after the first dose, and then to determine the MTD after second and subsequent infusions.

The purpose of this study is to study the effects of isavuconazole in preventing fungal infections in patients who have had a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT).

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if lorvotuzumab mertansine can help to control blood cancers that have the CD56 tumor marker. The safety of this drug will also be studied.

Evaluation of the safety and efficacy of 3 x 10, 3 x 12 or 3 x 14 g/m² Treosulfan resp., combined with 5 x 30 mg/m² fludarabine prior to allogeneic, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation of patients with hematological malignancies, but non-eligible to standard conditioning treatment.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects (good and bad) of the medication basiliximab in combination with cyclosporine (investigational therapy) for the prevention of a complication of bone marrow transplantation known as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). GVHD is a complication in which the cells of the transplanted bone marrow react against organs and tissues.

The purpose of this study is to find out how many irradiated natural killer (NK) cells can be safely given to patients with cancer that has recurred after an autologous stem cell transplant, and to see what effects (good and bad) it has on the patient and their cancer. This research is being done because currently, there is no cure or effective treatment for blood-borne cancers when it has come back after an autologous stem cell transplant.

This is an open-label, multicenter, phase 1, dose escalation study of MLN4924 in adult patients with lymphoma or multiple myeloma. The patient population will consist of adults with a confirmed diagnosis of lymphoma (Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia is permitted) or multiple myeloma that is relapsed and/or refractory after at least 2 prior standard chemotherapeutic regimens and for which no curative option exists. Patients in the expansion cohort, Schedule E, must specifically have Hodgkin lymphoma, DLBCL-GCB subtype, DLBCL-non-GCB subtype, or Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL). Patients with multiple myeloma will no longer be evaluated as a part of this study.

The traditional way of doing a donor transplant is to give high doses of chemotherapy and radiation before giving the stem cells. However, high doses of chemotherapy and radiation can have serious side-effects. The doctors think that the transplant will be safer and more likely to be successful with reduced doses of chemotherapy and radiation. The purpose of this study is to find out how good a combination of chemotherapy and radiation at reduced doses followed by a cord blood transplant are at treating cancer. The stem cells chosen for the transplant are from umbilical cord blood. Umbilical cord blood is collected from healthy newborn babies and frozen. One cord blood collection is called a "cord blood unit." On transplant day, the cord blood will be given through the catheter just like a blood transfusion. Transplants done this way have been successful. However, this type of transplant is fairly new. Therefore, it is important to study it so the doctors can better understand how it works. Most blood or bone marrow transplants using donor stem cells are done as part of a study. When patients are on a study we test new ways of treating them which we think may be better than the old ways. We collect information about the result of this treatment so we can understand how well the treatment works. This is so we can learn better ways to treat our patients.

Primary Objective: Determining the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and pharmacokinetics (PK) of FTS (S-Trans, Trans-Farnesylthiosalicylic Acid) after daily oral administration on Days 1 through 21 of a 28-Day cycle to patients with advanced hematologic malignancies that have progressed following effective therapy or for which no effective therapy exists.

This is an open-label, dose escalation study of intravenous ARQ 621 administered to patients with late-stage solid tumors or hematologic malignancies.
