Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Lymphoid"

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Monoclonal antibodies can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Combining monoclonal antibody therapy with chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of fludarabine given with or without monoclonal antibody therapy followed by monoclonal antibody therapy alone in treating patients who have untreated B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells. It is not yet known whether combining cyclophosphamide with fludarabine is more effective than fludarabine alone in treating chronic lymphocytic leukemia. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to study the effectiveness of fludarabine with or without cyclophosphamide in treating patients who have chronic lymphocytic leukemia that has not been treated previously.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Oblimersen may help fludarabine and cyclophosphamide kill more cancer cells by making them more sensitive to the drugs. It is not yet known if fludarabine and cyclophosphamide are more effective with or without oblimersen. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide with or without oblimersen in treating patients who have relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic 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 gemcitabine in treating patients who have recurrent chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of flavopiridol in treating patients who have chronic lymphocytic leukemia that has not responded to treatment with fludarabine. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Combining chemotherapy with monoclonal antibody therapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining pentostatin, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab in treating patients who have chronic lymphocytic leukemia or other B-cell cancers that have been treated previously.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells. Bone marrow transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy and kill more cancer cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy, bone marrow transplantation, and radiation therapy in treating infants with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

This is an open-label, multicenter, dose confirmation, and PK study of JZP-458 in patients (of any age) with ALL/LBL who are hypersensitive to E. coli-derived asparaginases (allergic reaction or silent inactivation). This study is designed to assess the tolerability and efficacy of JZP-458 (only in patients who develop hypersensitivity to an E. coli-derived asparaginase), as measured by asparaginase activity.

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is one of the four major types of leukemia which is common in both children and adolescents; however, it is the most common pediatric malignancy diagnosed in children younger than 20 years .The disease pathogenesis results from blockade at any stages of normal lymphoid differentiation with uncontrolled proliferation of lymphoid cells. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) definition, ALL is categorized in B-Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) And T-Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL), originated from B- and T-Lineage lymphoid precursor cells, respectively.

This dose-escalating study is to determine the safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of venetoclax in combination with navitoclax and chemotherapy in adult and pediatric participants with relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or relapsed/refractory lymphoblastic lymphoma. A safety expansion cohort of approximately 20 patients may be enrolled in addition to the 50 participants in dose-escalation cohort.
