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

This is an open-label, dose escalation study designed to characterize the safety, tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of GNKG168 in patients with B-CLL that has relapsed or is refractory to all prior standard therapy, or for which no standard therapy exists.

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide when given together with R-(-)-gossypol acetic acid and to see how well they work in treating patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed). Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate the immune system to attack cancer cells. R-(-)-gossypol acetic acid may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and causing the cells to die. Giving lenalidomide with R-(-)-gossypol acetic acid may be an effective treatment for relapsed or refractory B-CLL. - Funding Source - FDA OOPD

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the combination of bendamustine and ofatumumab in subjects with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small cell lymphoma. All subjects enrolled on this study will receive both drugs by intravenous (IV) infusion.

RATIONALE: Vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Giving vorinostat together with lenalidomide may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vorinostat when given together with lenalidomide in treating patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma or non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of alemtuzumab when given together with bendamustine hydrochloride in treating patients with relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) that did not respond to fludarabine phosphate. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bendamustine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as alemtuzumab, can also block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Giving bendamustine hydrochloride together with alemtuzumab may kill more cancer cells.

Primary objective: - To determine overall response-rate, complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) Secondary objectives: To assess the safety and tolerability of ITF2357; to assess total rate of responders (complete + partial responders); to determine the 6 months progression free survival; to determine the effects of the drug on haematological parameters.

This study will assess the efficacy (response rate) of oral lenalidomide in the treatment of patients with symptomatic, previously untreated, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), toxicity of lenalidomide in patients with CLL as well as time to progression, stable disease duration and, if responses are observed, response duration.

RATIONALE: Aldesleukin may stimulate natural killer cells to kill cancer cells. Treating natural killer cells with aldesleukin in the laboratory may help the natural killer cells kill more cancer cells when they are put back in the body. Giving monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, and chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, before a donor natural killer cell infusion helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It also helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying how well giving rituximab and chemotherapy followed by a donor natural killer cell infusion that has been treated in the laboratory with aldesleukin followed by aldesleukin works in treating patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Multi-center, open-label, single-dose, dose-escalating Phase I/II study of GS 9219 in adult patients with relapsed or refractory CLL, NHL or MM. Patients will be enrolled into the study in sequential dose cohorts. Patients will be administered a single IV infusion of GS 9219 on Day 1 of a 21 day cycle and may receive a total of six treatment cycles based on toxicities and response. Patients who demonstrate disease progression will be discontinued from the study. Patients who, at the completion of six treatment cycles, tolerate treatment and show evidence of disease control (response or stabilization) will be eligible to continue receiving treatment at the same dose.

The purpose of this study is to determine maximum tolerated dose of Gleevec in combination with Chlorambucil in previously treated CLL patients.
