Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Lymphoid"

Daily intake of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), which is the major component of the Mediterranean diet and also a source of monounsaturated fat, may be partly responsible for the increased life expectancy of the Mediterranean people. A high dietary intake of EVOO is correlated with lower incidence of cancer, cardiovascular disease, metabolic diseases, Alzheimer's disease and osteoporosis Oleocanthal, a phenolic derivative of extra virgin olive oil, has important health promoting anti-cancerous properties, since it can inhibit the growth and promote the apoptosis of several cancer cells. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of dietary intake of olive oil rich in oleocanthal on hematological, metabolical, cell progression markers and disease progression in patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. The aim is also to study the possible association of apoptosis in the mechanism of action of virgin olive oil phenols in a patient with CLL in order to find the possible mechanism of the cellular action of oleocanthal in neoplasia. After the screening of >300 EVOO samples the investigators selected an EVOO with high oleocanthal and oleacin concentration of 416 and 284 mg/Kg respectively (EVOO OC/OL). Pilot dietary intervention was made in a group of 21 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who did not follow any treatment. EVOO was administered 40 ml/day for six months. Biochemical, hematological and molecular markers were studied six month before the intervention and six month during the intervention

The objectives of the study are to assess the safety and tolerability of a single dose of SHP674 in Japanese participants (dose confirmation) in the tolerability assessment period of Part 1 and to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of SHP674 dose in Part 2 (found to be tolerated in Part 1) in the treatment of newly diagnosed untreated acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in Japanese participants.

This phase II clinical trial studies how well dasatinib followed by stem cell transplant works in treating older patients with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Dasatinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant stops the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. Monoclonal antibodies, such as alemtuzumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) and giving dasatinib together with chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells.

The purpose of this study was to confirm the clinical benefit observed in the pivotal registration study, Hx-CD20-406. The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) required that a randomized study be conducted in CLL patients with bulky fludarabine-refractory disease as a specific obligation for grant of conditional approval for ARZERRA™ in the European Union (EU). This study compared ofatumumab with the physicians' choice of therapy.

To determine whether the WT1 vaccine causes an immune response which is safe and able to keep the leukemia from coming back.

Study hypothesis: Treatment with dasatinib 100 mg QD is safe and efficacious when given to patients with Ph+ ALL in the post SCT setting.

The main purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated and efficient dose of GRASPA® in combination with polychemotherapy treatment of elderly patients with ALL, 55 years and over, Philadelphia chromosome-negative (ALL Ph-).

This is a prospective, multicenter, open label, non-randomized, phase I/II-study to define safety and efficacy of BRL combination in relapsed/refractory patients and to recommend a safe and efficacious dose for future phase II/III study. Hypothesis: The simultaneous administration of BRL in relapsed CLL is feasible, safe and efficient.

This phase II trial studies how well dasatinib works in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Dasatinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

For patients with leukemia who have not responded to or have progressed after an initial response to standard therapy, therapeutic options are limited. Although responses to standard regimens do occur, durable remissions are achieved infrequently and current regimens are not curative in the majority of patients. Identification of active agents in patients with relapsed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) ultimately affords the potential for use upfront as a component of induction regimens that may translate to improved outcome. Therefore, development of new agents is of critical importance. This study will look at a new, investigational agent, ON 01910.Na, to determine if it has the potential to help Patients with AML and Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) and transformed Myeloproliferative Neoplasms.
