Active clinical trials for "Leukemia"

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of bortezomib in treating patients who have chronic myelogenous leukemia in chronic or accelerated phase.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more cancer cells. Colony-stimulating factors such as filgrastim may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help a person's immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of chemotherapy and filgrastim followed by peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients who have chronic myelogenous leukemia.

RATIONALE: Bone marrow from donors may be able to treat patients with severe aplastic anemia and patients whose bodies have rejected previous bone marrow transplantation. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of bone marrow transplantation in treating patients who have severe aplastic anemia or whose bodies have rejected previous bone marrow transplant.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in treating children who have relapsed or refractory acute lymphocytic leukemia.

This research trial studies molecular genetic features in blood and tissue samples from patients with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia or acute promyelocytic leukemia. Studying samples of blood and tissue from patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia or acute promyelocytic leukemia in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer.

This phase Ib/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of pinometostat and how well it works with standard chemotherapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia and a type of genetic mutation called MLL gene rearrangement. Pinometostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in standard chemotherapy, such as daunorubicin hydrochloride and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving pinometostat with standard chemotherapy may work better at treating acute myeloid leukemia.

A Phase 1b/2a multi-center, open-label, non-randomized study to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of dose-adjusted brequinar in adult subjects with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Ribavirin BID may be added to brequinar twice weekly in eligible subjects.

This research study is being done in people with advanced-stage solid tumor cancer. Advanced stage solid tumor cancer is a cancer that forms an abnormal mass of tissue that usually does not contain cysts or liquid areas. Different types of solid tumors are named for the type of cells that form them. Examples of solid tumors include lung cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, kidney cancer, colorectal cancer, melanoma and sarcoma. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety of the investigational study drug, FN-1501, at different dose levels. FN-1501 has not previously been given to human subjects. It is intended for the treatment in this study of patients with advanced solid tumor cancers. This study will determine the effects, good and/or bad, on patients' cancer. The main objective of this study is to define the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of FN-1501. The MTD is the highest dose a person can take without having bad side effects, and the RP2D will be the dose of FN-1501 used in future studies.

This is a phase I/II clinical trial on the use of total marrow irradiation (TMI) given concurrently with fludarabine, a chemotherapy drug commonly used to treat leukemia, as a myeloablative therapy for patients undergoing Allo-HSCT. TMI is a targeted technique to deliver radiation to the bone marrow while minimizing dose to other normal organs in the body. In phase I of the clinical study, the dose of radiation to the bone marrow will be incrementally increased to determine the highest tolerated TMI dose. In phase II, the effectiveness of the TMI-fludarabine conditioning regimen utilizing that dose of radiation will be studied. Acute and long-term toxicity data as well as quality of life data will also be studied. *Stopping criteria was met during the first dose level cohort in Phase l. The trial will not continue into Phase II as originally planned.

TP-0903 is an inhibitor of AXL kinase. TP-0903 has shown potent inhibition of AXL kinase and other TAM family members in a biochemical kinase assay. TP-0903 demonstrates corresponding activity in cancer cell lines and mouse xenograft efficacy models. TP-0903 is shown to block cancer cell epithelial-to-mesenchymal transitions. AXL was identified as a potential therapeutic target in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). TP 0903 was shown to induce apoptosis in CLL B-cells taken directly from patients.TP-0903 was equally potent against CLL cells regardless of risk-factor. TP-0903 is a novel oral inhibitor that targets AXL kinase and reverses the mesenchymal phenotype associated with advanced cancers. TP-0903 has demonstrated profound single agent activity in CLL B cells taken directly from patients even if the patient has high risk factors (ie, 17p/P53 deletions) or progressed on other agents (ie, ibrutinib). TP-0903 is currently being evaluated in patients with refractory solid tumors (TP-0903-101). This proposed study is designed to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety profile and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of TP-0903 in patients with previously treated CLL. Treatment cycles may be repeated if the patient continues to show benefit and if TP-0903 is reasonably well tolerated. The study will investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and clinical activity of TP-0903.
