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

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide in previously untreated CLL patients. Participants will receive fludarabine and cyclophosphamide on days 1, 2, and 3 of six 28-day cycles.

CpG has the potential to stimulate the immune system this study will evaluate the safety of CpG given sub-q or IV purpose is to measure biological changes in CLL cells after receiving CpG

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether giving fludarabine together with cyclophosphamide is more effective than fludarabine alone in treating chronic lymphocytic leukemia. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying giving fludarabine together with cyclophosphamide to see how well it works compared to fludarabine alone in treating patients with advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as CCI-779, work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. This phase II trial is studying how well CCI-779 works in treating patients with recurrent or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy before a peripheral stem cell transplant stops the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as G-CSF, and certain chemotherapy drugs, helps stem cells move from the bone marrow to the blood so they can be collected and stored. Chemotherapy or radiation therapy is then given to prepare the bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy and radiation therapy. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving cyclophosphamide together with total-body irradiation works in treating patients who are undergoing an peripheral stem cell transplant for chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some find cancer cells and kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Others interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Sometimes the cancer may not need treatment until it progresses. In this case, observation may be sufficient. It is not yet known whether giving rituximab together with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide is more effective than observation alone in treating chronic lymphocytic leukemia. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying rituximab, fludarabine, and cyclophosphamide to see how well they work compared to observation alone in treating patients with stage 0, stage I, or stage II B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

This is an open-label, multicenter, phase II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of single-agent AT-101 in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies.

This is an open label, Phase I/II, dose escalation research study of an investigational product called lumiliximab, given with FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved products fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab (FCR). The study duration is 17 visits over 42 months or until your disease progresses and you require additional CLL therapy. The total duration of participation in the study will be approximately 4 years, however your disease status will be followed indefinitely (forever).

This phase II trial is studying how well apolizumab works in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma. Monoclonal antibodies such as apolizumab can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells.

Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of XK469R in treating patients who have refractory hematologic cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such XK469R, work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die
