Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute"

Patients with hematologic malignancies will receive myeloablative chemotherapy followed by stem cell rescue with bone marrow or hematopoietic peripheral blood stem cells collected by apheresis from a filgrastim- (G-CSF)-mobilized haploidentical related-donor, ie, hematopoietic peripheral blood stem cell transplant (HSCT).

This study is a means of providing transplantation to those patients who would be a stem cell transplant candidate who do not have an appropriate donor. The use of CD34 selected haploidentical donor with an umbilical cord unit may help provide earlier engraftment without the need for long term immunosuppression. This study tests a new method of bone marrow transplantation called combined haploidentical-cord blood transplantation. In this procedure, some of the blood forming cells (the stem cells) from a partially human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched (haploidentical) related donor are collected from the blood, as well as cells from an umbilical cord are transplanted into the patient (the recipient) after administration of a "conditioning regimen". A conditioning regimen consists of chemotherapy and sometimes radiation to the entire body (total body irradiation, or TBI), which is meant to destroy the cancer cells and suppress the recipient's immune system to allow the transplanted cells to take (grow).

This study is designed to determine the safety, maximum tolerated dose,dose limiting toxicity of Terameprocol(EM-1421)and determine the pharmacokinetics (clearance from the blood)of Terameprocol(EM-1421)given as intravenous infusion three times a week in patients with leukemia.

This study is for patients with relapsed of disease after allogeneic bone marrow The donor's T cells are activated by exposure to 2 compounds or antibodies that bind (or stick to) two compounds on T cells called CD3 and CD28. When these antibodies stick to both CD3 and CD28 on the T cells, the T cells becomes stimulated (or "activated") and grows. CD3 and CD28 are the coating of a T cell and a T cell is part of the body's immune system. It is believed that when T cells are exposed to both of antibodies to CD3 and CD28 compounds at the same time, they become activated or "stimulated" and may be more effective in fighting infections or cancer cells. We call this therapy "activated donor lymphocyte infusions, or activated DLI (aDLI)". This current study is being performed to see whether it is safe and effective to administer higher doses of activated DLI or repeated doses of activated DLI. All patients will receive standard donor lymphocyte infusions first, and in addition will receive activated donor lymphocytes approximately 12 days later (DLI followed by aDLI). Depending on the response to this treatment, and depending on possible side effects (such as graft-vs-host disease as described below), patients in remission will then receive additional aDLI every 3 months for 4 more times, and patients not in remission within 6-12 weeks will receive higher dose aDLI. The timing of the higher dose aDLI will be determined by your physician depending on your disease and the rate of progression of your disease. The aDLI can be given as early as 6 weeks, or as late as 12 weeks (3 months).

The goal of the Phase I part of this clinical research study is to find the highest safe dose of bendamustine that can be given to patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), Chronic myelogenous (or myeloid) leukemia (CML) in blastic phase, Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML), and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). The goal of the Phase II part of this clinical research study is to learn if bendamustine can help to control AML, ALL and MDS. The safety of this drug will continue to be studied.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of conditioning with fludarabine, busulphan and thymoglobuline in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative disorders (MDS/MPD) or acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) undergoing haematopoietic stem cell allograft with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-mobilised peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) (or bone marrow) from HLA compatible sibling donors.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of unrelated double and single cord blood transplantation in patients with haematological malignancies using reduced-intensity or myeloablative conditioning regimens.

This is a single-center, single arm, open-label study of oral lenalidomide monotherapy administered to red blood cell (RBC) transfusion dependent adult subjects with Diamond-Blackfan Anemia (DBA). Primary Objective: To evaluate the erythroid response rate as measured by rate of red blood cell transfusion independence [MDS International Working Group (IWG) 2000 Criteria will be applied]. Secondary Objective: 1)To evaluate the tolerability and safety profile of lenalidomide in patients with DBA and other inherited marrow failure syndromes 2) To correlate response to lenalidomide with biologic surrogates of DBA including ribosomal protein mutation status, ex vivo erythroid colony growth, and microarray gene expression

The primary objective of this study is to determine whether low-dose cytarabine in combination with arsenic trioxide is more effective than low-dose cytarabine alone in achieving complete remission in elderly patients (≥60 years of age) with acute myeloid leukemia.

Study CC-90002-AML-001 is an open-label, Phase 1 dose escalation (Part A) and expansion (Part B), clinical study of CC-90002, administered by intravenous (IV) infusion, in subjects with relapsed and/or primary refractory AML and high-risk MDS. The study will explore escalating doses of CC-90002 using a 3 + 3 dose escalation design in Part A, followed by dose expansion in Part B. The primary objective is to determine the safety and tolerability of CC-90002 and also to define the non-tolerated dose (NTD), the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of CC-90002.
