Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute"

A study to assess the safety and tolerability of AZD1152 in combination with low dose cytosine arabinoside (LDAC) in patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). The first three patients to complete a 28 day cycle in the cohort, before the second three patients start treatment.

The purpose of this trial is to to determine the safety and effectiveness of therapeutic combination - Clofarabine and Cytarabine for the treatment of AML and MDS.

Clolar (clofarabine injection) is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of pediatric patients 1 to 21 years old with relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who have had at least 2 prior treatment regimens. This study will evaluate the efficacy of clofarabine in elderly patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) who are unlikely to benefit from treatment with intensive chemotherapy regimens (cytarabine and anthracycline based regimens) used in younger patients with AML.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of corticosteroids on the frequency and severity of Mylotarg® infusion-related adverse events, to evaluate the effect of corticosteroids on the efficacy of Mylotarg® induced complete response (CR) and complete response with incomplete platelet recovery (CRp) at one-month post treatment.

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of 7-hydroxystaurosporine when given together with perifosine in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, or myelodysplastic syndromes. 7-Hydroxystaurosporine may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as perifosine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving 7-hydroxystaurosporine together with perifosine may kill more cancer cells.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness (response rate) and safety of tipifarnib in patients with refractory or relapsed AML.

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of tipifarnib and bortezomib in treating patients with acute leukemia or chronic myelogenous leukemia in blast phase. Tipifarnib and bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving tipifarnib together with bortezomib may kill more cancer cells.

The purpose of this study is to determine the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of bortezomib and idarubicin given in combination to newly diagnosed AML patients >60 years or relapsed AML patients. Another purpose of this study is to determine the dose limiting toxicities associated with bortezomib in combination with idarubicin in newly diagnosed AML patients >60 years or relapsed AML patients.

This phase II trial is studying how well PXD101 works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia or older patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia. PXD101 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the cancer.

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