Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid, Chronic-Phase"

The study purpose is to test the hypothesis that Chronic Phase Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CP-CML) patients with stable Complete Molecular Response (CMR) who discontinue Dasatinib treatment are able to maintain a sustained remission in the long-term, with undetectable or minimally detectable BCR-ABL residual disease.

Bosutinib is a 2nd generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has shown promising results from first up to fourth line treatment in patients with in chronic phase of chronic myelogenous leukaemia. Most patients discontinuing the treatment with Bosutinib do so because of side effects occuring early after starting the treatment. A step in dosing scheme could improve these early toxicities. The aim of this study therefore is to demonstrate that temporary lowering of the Bosutinib dose during early treatment may help to reduce or prevent side effects while preserving efficacy.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best way to give natural killer cells and donor umbilical cord blood transplant in treating patients with hematological malignancies. Giving chemotherapy with or without total body irradiation before a donor umbilical cord blood transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells and natural killer 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.

RATIONALE: BMS-354825 and imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying BMS-354825 to see how well it works compared to imatinib mesylate in treating patients with chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia that did not respond to previous imatinib mesylate.

Patients will be randomized in phase II trials to continue on the same TKI versus one of the alternative treatment approaches. If a patient is not eligible for one of the treatments, he (she) will be randomized between the options for which he (she) is eligible. The trial will start with current available treatment options (experimental arms). New available treatment options may be open at any times later on. Authorized TKIs are imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib, bosutinib and ponatinib. For all options the treatment duration is for a minimum of 12 months and will be continued in the absence of adverse events following investigator decision. Each therapeutic option will be detailed in term of combination modalities, dose, dose adaptation, specific warnings, specific exclusion and inclusion criteria. The decision to introduce a new option will depend on the general pace of recruitment and on the assessment of the potential efficacy and safety of the new treatment, and will be implemented after scientific review by a protocol amendment. Primary objective: A. To select molecules in combination or sequentially with imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib, bosutinib or ponatinib potentially able to produce a 25% increase in the Cumulative Incidence of MR4.5 as compare to control. Secondary objectives: A. To determine the safety of selected therapies B. To determine the rate of MR4 by 12, 24, 36, 48 months in experimental and control arms C. To determine the rates of MR4.5 by 24, 36, 48 months in experimental and control arms D. To determine the rate of undetectable BCR-ABL1 transcript (sensitivity 40000 ABL copies) by 12, 24, 36, 48 months in experimental and control arms E. To estimate treatment free remission (TFR) in patients eligible for discontinuation studies F. To investigate the relationship between biological activity and the clinical efficacy of the selected therapies G. To assess the effects of the treatments on the number and clonogenicity of CML stem cells and other biological markers of interest H. To estimate duration of response, progression-free survival, event free survival and overall survival.

The purpose of this study is to assess whether dasatinib can be discontinued without occurrence of molecular relapse in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase in complete molecular remission(CMR) while on dasatinib.

To assess the efficacy of inecalcitol in combination with imatinib in CML patients with molecular residual disease on imatinib monotherapy.

This study will evaluate the proportion of subjects with chronic myeloid leukemia chronic phase that sustain major molecular response after imatinib discontinuation. To be eligible for this protocol, the subject must have received imatinib as first line regiment for at least 3 years with sustained molecular response of 4log (RM4log) or higher for one year.

This randomized phase II trial studies how well multi-antigen cytomegalovirus (CMV)-modified vaccinia Ankara vaccine works in reducing CMV related complications in patients with blood cancer who are undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Vaccines made from a gene-modified virus may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells.

This pilot clinical trial studies mechanical stimulation in preventing bone density loss in patients undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Mechanical stimulation may limit, prevent, or reverse bone loss, increase muscle and cardiac performance, and improve overall health
