Interventional Study to Improve Adherence to Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia...

LeukemiaMyelogenous3 more

Adherence to tyrosine kinase inhibitors is associated with improved outcomes in chronic myeloid leukemia patients. Hence, improved adherence might improve CML patients' prognosis. Decreased adherence is a common problem in such patients, with non-adherence in up to 30% of patients in several studies. Recently, an emphasis has been placed on improving patient's adherence to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in these patients. However, there is no prospective high-quality evidence showing that adherence can be improved in these patients. Therefore, the investigators hypothesize that adherence-encouraging interventions improve adherence to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in chronic myeloid leukemia patients.

Reduced-Intensity Conditioning Before Donor Stem Cell Transplant in Treating Patients With High-Risk...

Acute Myeloid Leukemia With FLT3/ITD MutationAcute Myeloid Leukemia With Gene Mutations21 more

This phase II trial studies reduced-intensity conditioning before donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies. Giving low-doses of chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Giving an infusion of the donor's T cells (donor lymphocyte infusion) before the transplant may help increase this effect.

Fludarabine Based Conditioning for Allogeneic Transplantation for Advanced Hematologic Malignancies...

Acute Myeloid LeukemiaAcute Leukemia9 more

New conditioning regimens are still needed to maximize efficacy and limit treatment-related deaths of allogeneic transplantation for advanced hematologic malignancies. Over the past several years, the investigators have evaluated several new conditioning regimens that incorporate fludarabine, a novel immunosuppressant that has limited toxicity and that has synergistic activity with alkylating agents. Recent data have suggested that fludarabine may be used in combination with standard doses of oral or IV busulfan, thus reducing the toxicity previously observed with cyclophosphamide/ busulfan regimens.

Allogeneic Transplantation Using Timed Sequential Busulfan and Fludarabine Conditioning

LeukemiaAcute Myeloid Leukemia8 more

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if giving busulfan and fludarabine before a stem cell transplant can help control the disease better than the standard method in patients with leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, MDS, or MPD. In this study, 2 doses of busulfan will be given 2 weeks before a stem cell transplant followed by 4 doses of busulfan and fludarabine during the week before the stem cell transplant, rather than the standard method of giving 4 doses of busulfan and fludarabine only during the week before the stem cell transplant. The safety of this combination therapy will also be studied. Busulfan is designed to kill cancer cells by binding to DNA (the genetic material of cells), which may cause cancer cells to die. Busulfan is commonly used in stem cell transplants. Fludarabine is designed to interfere with the DNA of cancer cells, which may cause the cancer cells to die.

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.

Study of Nilotinib as First Line Treatment in Philadelphia Chromosome Positive(Ph+) Chronic Myelogenous...

Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia

The study was a local multicentric, open-label, non-randomized phase II study of nilotinib as a first line treatment in adult patients with newly-diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) and chronic phase myeloid leukemia (CML-CP).

Protein-Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (STI571) for Treatment of Patients With Ph+ Chronic Myeloid Leukemia...

Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

This is a Phase II, open-label, multi-center trial designed primarily to evaluate the rate of complete or major cytogenetic response of STI571 as demonstrated by a decrease in the percentage of Ph chromosome positive cells in the bone marrow, in patients with CML who are refractory to or intolerant of interferon-alpha. During the core phase of the study, patients will receive once daily oral administration of STI571 at a dose of 400 mg, for up to 12 months. After completing 12 months of therapy patients may be eligible to receive additional therapy provided that, in the opinion of the investigator, the patient has benefited from treatment with STI571 and in the absence of safety concerns. Patients will receive STI571 on an outpatient basis. During the extended phase (which is of indefinite duration), patients may continue STI571 until either progression to accelerated phase, blast phase, death, the development of intolerable toxicity, or the investigator feels it is no longer in the patient's best interest to continue therapy, whichever comes first. The number of visits will be at a reduced frequency. Patients who discontinue study drug will be followed for survival for up to 5 years. STI571 will be considered active if the interferon-refractory patient population satisfies the target of achieving a complete or major response at a rate of at least 30%, within the preset error limits. Cytogenetic responses will be evaluated every three months and categorized as either complete (0% Ph+ chromosome cells), or major (1 to 35% Ph+ chromosome cells) responses. STI571 will be discontinued for any patient whose disease progresses to either the accelerated phase or blast crisis. A minimum of 100 patients who are interferon refractory will receive STI571 administered at a dose of 400 mg once a day. In addition, the protocol is also open for patients who are intolerant to interferon-alpha in order to get a preliminary evaluation of their response to STI571 therapy. Up to 100 intolerant patients will be enrolled. Enrollment of intolerant patients will cease at 100, or whenever the 100 refractory patients are accrued, whichever comes first.

Study of Parathyroid Hormone Following Sequential Cord Blood Transplantation From an Unrelated Donor...

LeukemiaMyeloid15 more

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of parathyroid hormone after a sequential cord blood transplant will improve engraftment, which is the ability of the transplanted stem cells to grow and to successfully begin producing new blood cells.

Donor Bone Marrow Transplant With or Without G-CSF in Treating Young Patients With Hematologic Cancer...

Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in RemissionChildhood Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Remission8 more

This randomized phase III trial is studying donor bone marrow transplant with or without G-CSF to compare how well they work in treating young patients with hematologic cancer or other diseases. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor bone marrow transplant helps stop the growth of cancer or abnormal cells. It also helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving methotrexate and tacrolimus or cyclosporine before and after transplant may stop this from happening. It is not yet known whether donor bone marrow transplant is more effective with or without G-CSF in treating hematologic cancer or other diseases.
