Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute"

This research study is evaluating drugs called bortezomib and lenalidomide as a possible treatment for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety and efficacy of the bortezomib and lenalidomide investigational combination. This drug combination has been used in the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma and has been previously investigated in the treatment of MDS and AML, albeit at a lower dose of lenalidomide. In this research study, the investigators are looking for the highest dose of the combination that can be given safely and see how well it works as a combination for MDS and AML in individuals whose disease has relapsed after an SCT.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of hematopoietic stem cell microtransplantation for in acute myeloid leukemia (AML)patients who can not receive hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).

Phase II trial combining azacitidine with valproic acid as maintenance therapy post allogeneic stem cell transplantation in patients with high-risk MDS/AML. We hypothesize that adding valproic acid to azacitidine will improve outcomes via both direct anti-tumor and immunologically mediated antitumor response with alloreactive donor lymphocytes, having an additive effect and extending 1 year survival in patient with high-risk AML/MDS after hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Based on aforementioned data from the US Department of Health and Human Services, standard 1 year survival for AML after stem cell transplant is near 40%. We hypothesize that valproic acid and azacitidine will prolong survival, with a 1 year survival goal of 60%. In addition to assessing for 1 year survival, we will have secondary objectives of assessing progression-free survival, relapse, and toxicity. The primary toxicity endpoint from this will be cytopenias and infections.

This study evaluates the effect of different induction courses in children and adolescents with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia. In the first course patients are randomised to receive either standard anthracycline therapy with mitoxantrone or experimental DaunoXome. In the second course patients are randomised between standard treatment with ADxE (cytarabine, DaunoXome, etoposide) or experimental therapy with FLADx (fludarabine, cytarabine, DaunoXome).

This randomized phase II trial studies how well decitabine works when given together with daunorubicin hydrochloride and cytarabine in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as decitabine, daunorubicin hydrochloride, and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Decitabine may help daunorubicin hydrochloride and cytarabine kill more cancer cells by making them more sensitive to the drugs. It is not yet known whether low-dose decitabine is more effective than high-dose decitabine when giving together with daunorubicin hydrochloride and cytarabine in treating acute myeloid leukemia.

Evaluation of efficacy of autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) with core-binding factor (CBF) positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in the first CR (CR1).

ClAraC (consisting of one dose of clofarabine and ara-C for five days) or FLAMSA (consisting of one dose of fudarabine, amsacrine and ara-C for four days) will be administered followed by reduced-intensity conditioning regimen (RIC) in the setting of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). The aim of the study is to explore the antileukemic, immunosuppressive effects and toxicity and safety of clofarabine in combination with ara-C in the setting of RIC allogeneic transplantation compared with the FLAMSA-protocol for patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or advanced myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

The study will be conducted in the Department of Medical Oncology and Department of Haematology , AIIMS, Delhi. A total of 180 patients of Acute Myeloid Leukemia who are in complete remission after induction chemotherapy will be enrolled into the study and will be further randomized to the two study arms . ARM- A will receive Ara-c at 18 gm /m2 for 3 cycles and ARM -B will receive Ara-c at 12 gm/m2 for 3 cycles according to the study protocol. Aim of the study will be to compare the efficacy of the two doses in terms of the relapse free survival and overall survival as well as time to relapse and toxicity /treatment related morbidity.

To investigate safety, tolerability of cafusertib combination with low dose cytarabine (LD-Ara-C) in Chinese patients with relapsed/refractory AML that are not eligible for conventional or intensive treatment. The dose of cafusertib will be escalated to determine the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of cafusertib in combination with LD-Ara-C in AML patients. At the same time, pharmacokinetic characteristics and preliminary efficacy of cafusertib will be observed in AML patients. To determine the recommended dosage regimen for phase II.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety profile of tosedostat in elderly patients suffering from refractory or relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
