17-N-Allylamino-17-Demethoxygeldanamycin and Bortezomib in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory...

Adult Acute Basophilic LeukemiaAdult Acute Eosinophilic Leukemia33 more

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of 17-N-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin and bortezomib in treating patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as 17-N-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving 17-N-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin together with bortezomib may kill more cancer cells.

Prolonged or Standard Infusion of Cefepime Hydrochloride in Treating Patients With Febrile Neutropenia...

Adult Acute Lymphoblastic LeukemiaAdult Acute Myeloid Leukemia38 more

This randomized pilot clinical trial studies how well giving prolonged infusion compared to standard infusion of cefepime hydrochloride works in treating patients with febrile neutropenia. Giving cefepime hydrochloride over a longer period of time may be more effective than giving cefepime hydrochloride over the standard time.

Steroid Treatment for Hypereosinophilic Syndrome

EosinophiliaHypereosinophilic Syndrome2 more

Background: - Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a disorder in which the body has too many eosinophils (a type of white blood cell). Too many eosinophils in HES can cause damage to the heart, nerves, or skin. Certain drugs can help lower eosinophil counts to prevent tissue damage. Corticosteroids, such as prednisone, are used for initial therapy in this disorder. Although most people respond to prednisone, some people develop side effects from it, or do not respond very well to treatment. Better ways of determining the dose to give could help to decide on the best therapy for HES. Objectives: To determine whether a single-dose of prednisone can be used to predict which people with hypereosinophilia respond to treatment. To study lack of response to steroid treatment in people with HES. Eligibility: Inclusion criteria: Individuals with hypereosinophilic syndrome with high eosinophil counts. Individuals who are willing to have blood drawn before and after getting steroids. Exclusion criteria: Individuals who are on more than 10mg of prednisone (or similar drug) Individuals with hypereosinophilic syndrome who are on other medications that could interfere with the study Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding Individuals who have a known gene mutation associated with chronic eosinophilic leukemia Children less than 18 years old who weigh less than 48kg or 106lb Design: Participants will have a screening visit with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will be collected. Participants will have a single dose of the steroid prednisone by mouth in the morning. Blood samples will be collected 2, 4, 24 hours after this dose. On the day after the steroid dose, participants will provide another blood sample in the morning. Participants will start to take prednisone daily when they return home. Blood samples will be collected weekly at the participant s doctor s office. The dose of prednisone will be lowered depending on the weekly eosinophil count. We will try to get each person on the lowest dose of prednisone possible that will control the disorder. Participants who do not respond or have severe side effects will be taken off prednisone. Other treatments will be considered for people who do not respond to steroids. The goal is to evaluate the response to prednisone. Our research will try to figure out why some people do not respond to steroids. Most people will complete the study within 6 to 16 weeks, depending on their response to prednisone.

MK2206 in Treating Younger Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Solid Tumors or Leukemia

Accelerated Phase Chronic Myelogenous LeukemiaAcute Leukemias of Ambiguous Lineage52 more

This phase I trial is studying the side effects, best way to give, and best dose of Akt inhibitor MK2206 (MK2206) in treating patients with recurrent or refractory solid tumors or leukemia. MK2206 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Imatinib Mesylate in Patients With Various Types of Malignancies Involving Activated Tyrosine Kinase...

Hypereosinophilic SyndromeSystemic Mastocytosis2 more

This trial is for various types of malignancies which may depend on certain enzymes (tyrosine kinases) for growth. The objective of this study is to assess to what extent imatinib mesylate blocks these enzymes and to assess the effect on the malignancy.

Combination Chemotherapy With or Without PSC 833, Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation, and/or Interleukin-2...

Adult Acute Basophilic LeukemiaAdult Acute Eosinophilic Leukemia31 more

Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PSC 833 may increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy by making cancer cells more sensitive to the drugs. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more cancer cells. Interleukin-2 may stimulate a person's white blood cells to kill cancer cells. This randomized phase III trial is studying giving combination chemotherapy together with PSC 833 followed by a peripheral stem cell transplant with or without interleukin-2 to see how well it works compared to combination chemotherapy alone followed by a peripheral stem cell transplant with or without interleukin-2 in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

A Multi-center, Open-label Extension, Safety Study of Mepolizumab in Subjects With Hypereosinophilic...

Hypereosinophilic Syndrome

This is an open-label extension study to Study 200622.In this study subjects from Study 200622 will be continued on 4-weekly dosing with open-label mepolizumab 300 milligram (mg) subcutaneously (SC) for an additional 20 Weeks after completing the 32 Week study assessments post-randomization, while they continue with their background HES therapy per standard of care (SoC). Subjects from study 200622 will participate in this extension study if they had completed the 32-Week treatment period in study 200622 or if they were withdrawn from the study pre-maturely, but were continued in the study per protocol until 32 Weeks from randomization. Data from this study (205203) and 200622 will be combined to provide up to 52-Week exposure data to further characterize the long-term safety profile of mepolizumab and provide additional data on the clinical benefit in HES subjects beyond 32 Weeks. The duration of the study participation will be 20 Weeks for subjects who continue with mepolizumab treatment via MHE104317/MHE112562 after this open-label extension study; and 28 Weeks for subjects who do not continue with MHE104317/MHE112562.
