Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute"

This is a phase I/II pediatric dose-ranging study that will evaluate the safety, tolerability, clinical response, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of midostaurin in patients <18 years of age who have relapsed or refractory acute leukemias that may benefit from administration of midostaurin, including MLL-rearranged ALL and FLT3 positive AML.

This study of SCH 900776 (MK-8776) will evaluate its safety and tolerability when given in combination with cytarabine to participants with acute leukemias. Participants in the Dose-Escalation Part will be enrolled in cohorts that will receive sequentially higher doses of MK-8776 in combination with standard doses of cytarabine. Only one combination treatment cycle of approximately 4 to 6 weeks is anticipated, but participants may receive additional cycles if clinically indicated after discussion between the Investigator and the Sponsor. The recommended combination doses for a Phase 2 trial (RP2D) will be determined based on safety and biological activity. Up to 10 to 15 additional participants will be studied at the combination RP2D.

This phase II trial studies how well donor peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplant works in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. Cyclophosphamide when added to tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil is safe and effective in preventing severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in most patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing transplantation of bone marrow from half-matched (haploidentical) donors. This approach has extended the transplant option to patients who do not have matched related or unrelated donors, especially for patients from ethnic minority groups. The graft contains cells of the donor's immune system which potentially can recognize and destroy the patient's cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Rejection of the donor's cells by the patient's own immune system is prevented by giving low doses of chemotherapy (fludarabine phosphate and cyclophosphamide) and total-body irradiation before transplant. Patients can experience low blood cell counts after transplant. Using stem cells and immune cells collected from the donor's circulating blood may result in quicker recovery of blood counts and may be more effective in treating the patient's disease than using bone marrow.

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tissue and blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This research study is looking at tissue and blood samples from patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of SJG-136 in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, blastic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia, or chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as SJG-136, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

Non-randomized, open, dose ranging and dose scheduling study of ascending doses of KW-2449 in subjects with AML, ALL, MDS and CML.

This clinical study is being conducted at multiple sites to determine the activity, safety and tolerability of XL999 when given weekly to patients with relapsed or newly-diagnosed AML. XL999 is a small molecule inhibitor against Flk1/kinase insert domain receptor (KDR), PDGFR, c-Kit, FLT3 and SRC. c-Kit and FLT3 are receptors commonly expressed on AML blasts.

In this study, MGCD0103, a new anticancer drug under investigation, is given three times per week to elderly patients with previously untreated acute myelogenous leukemia/high risk myelodysplastic syndrome or adults with relapsed/refractory disease.

This is a phase I, single-arm, open-label, multi-center study of rising doses of Troxatyl™ whose purpose is to determine the safety, tolerance, and pharmacokinetics, and to establish the recommended infusion schedule of Troxatyl™.

DTGM belongs to a new generation of drugs designed to target leukemic cells. To achieve this, DTGM takes advantage of the ability of naturally-produced growth factor (GM, granulocyte-macrophage stimulating factor) to deliver a drug (diphtheria toxin) to cells; preferably leukemic cells. It then attaches to the cells and allows the toxin to enter the leukemic cells and destroy them.
