Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute"

The investigators' objective is to assess the efficacy of the combined treatment with enalapril and carvedilol in the prevention of left ventricular systolic dysfunction in patients with hematological malignancies submitted to intensive chemotherapy with potential cardiotoxicity. The hypothesis is that these drugs administered during chemotherapy may prevent left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of combined chemotherapy treatment (CLAG regimen) with Imatinib Mesylate (Gleevec) in patients with AML.

The purpose of this study is: to explore the potential for different dosing strategies of posaconazole oral suspension (POS) to increase plasma levels and to profile the pharmacokinetics of these dosing strategies in patients with compromised gastrointestinal function and at high risk for Invasive Fungal Infection.

This is a single-center open-label phase I clinical trial of delivering haploidentical natural killer (NK) cells matured ex vivo with ALT-801 followed by intravenous infusions of ALT-801 in patients with relapsed/refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). The study will be conducted at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC) and MDACC Children's Cancer Hospital in Houston, Texas.

This is a multi-center open-label Phase I/II study investigating orally administered HDM201 in combination with chemotherapy in two populations: subjects with first line AML or subjects with relapsed/refractory AML. This study is conducted in three parts: dose escalation, dose expansion and DDI study.

This phase II trial studies how well 3 different drug combinations prevent graft versus host disease (GVHD) after donor stem cell transplant. Calcineurin inhibitors, such as cyclosporine and tacrolimus, may stop the activity of donor cells that can cause GVHD. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cyclophosphamide and methotrexate, may also stop the donor cells that can lead to GVHD while not affecting the cancer-fighting donor cells. Immunosuppressive therapy, such as anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG), is used to decrease the body's immune response and reduces the risk of GVHD. It is not yet known which combination of drugs: 1) ATG, methotrexate, and calcineurin inhibitor 2) cyclophosphamide and calcineurin inhibitor, or 3) methotrexate and calcineurin inhibitor may work best to prevent graft versus host disease and result in best overall outcome after donor stem cell transplant.

This is an open label, single arm study of midostaurin in patients with relapsed or refractory AML.

The primary objective of the Phase Ib study is to determine the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of BP1001 in combination with dasatinib in patients with with Philadelphia Chromosome Positive (Ph+) Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) including chronic phase patients who have failed initial tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy, accelerated or blast phase, Ph+ Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) or High-risk Ph+ Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS). The primary objective of the Phase IIa study is to assess the efficacy of the combination of BP1001 and dasatinib in patients with Ph+ CML, Ph+AML, or high-risk Ph+ MDS.

Patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) will receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy (Flu/Cy) and two infusions of cytokine-induced memory-like NK cells at the previously defined maximum tolerated dose (MTD), fourteen days apart. Low dose rhIL-2 will be administered to patients for in vivo expansion following cell infusion. Patients will be assessed for anti-leukemic efficacy and safety. Re-infusion of patients who relapsed after clinical response will be considered.

This is a phase 2 randomized controlled trial of pre-chemotherapy periodontal deep cleaning in Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) patients with asymptomatic periodontitis. Once eligibility is confirmed, participants with periodontitis will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to undergo treatment by scaling and root planing (SRP, "deep cleaning") (arm A) or receive no periodontal treatment (arm B). We will compare the incidence of Blood Stream Infection (BSI) during chemotherapy between the two arms. Study participation will continue until day 28 of chemotherapy or discharge from hospital, whichever occurs first.
