Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute"

The aim of this protocol is to investigate a novel form of immune therapy for patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) who are in remission (CR) but who are at high risk for relapse.

This is an open label randomized controlled phase II study of AS1411 combined with Cytarabine in the treatment of patients with primary refractory or relapsed acute myeloid leukemia.

Clofarabine is a drug approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for treating children (age 1-21) with leukemia. This research study will use clofarabine with two other cancer fighting drugs. Clofarabine will be used together with etoposide (VePesid®, VP-16) and cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan®).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the activity of bexarotene, a retinoic acid class drug, in patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) that has returned after or is resistant to standard chemotherapy or are otherwise not eligible for conventional chemotherapy. Retinoic acids are a class of drugs related to Vitamin A, and have a wide range of effects within normal and malignant cells that affect cell growth and cell death.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of combining a drug known as Lovastatin to the chemotherapy drug cytarabine. Lovastatin is currently used to lower blood cholesterol levels and lab data suggests that it increases the anti-leukemia activity of cytarabine. This research is being done because high doses of cytarabine induce remissions in only about 25% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

To assess the proportion of patients with donor neutrophil engraftment within 30 days of allogeneic transplant. To assess the incidence of acute GvHD during the first 100 days after transplantation.

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

This is a phase 2, single-arm, open-label, multi-center study to establish the safety and efficacy of Troxatyl™ (troxacitabine) administered as a continuous infusion for 5 days to subjects with AML.

This is a Phase I dose-finding study of FT538 as monotherapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and in combination with monoclonal antibodies in multiple myeloma (MM). The study will consist of a dose-escalation stage and an expansion stage where participants will be enrolled into indication-specific cohorts.

This is a pilot study to evaluate the usability and feasibility of a telehealth-delivered advance care planning intervention among 20 older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), their caregivers, and oncologists.
