Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Lymphoid"

This study is designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody LFB-R603 in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia who have received at least one prior fludarabine-containing regimen.

This phase II trial is studying how well umbilical cord blood transplant from a donor works in treating patients with hematological cancer. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation (TBI) before a donor umbilical cord blood transplant helps stop the growth of cancer and abnormal cells and helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from an unrelated donor, that do not exactly match the patient's blood, are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease). Giving cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil before and after transplant may stop this from happening.

Bone marrow transplants are one treatment option for people with leukemia or lymphoma. Family members or unrelated donors with a similar type of bone marrow usually donate their bone marrow to the transplant patients. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a new type of bone marrow transplant-one that uses lower doses of chemotherapy and bone marrow donated from family members with only partially matched bone marrow-in people with leukemia or lymphoma.

The main aim of the present study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of first-line dasatinib plus conventional chemotherapy for newly diagnosed Ph-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia. In this study, the investigators will analyze the clinical outcomes for entire patient population as well as those for transplants, respectively. In addition, the results of this study will be compared to those of the investigators current study (imatinib plus conventional chemotherapy). The safety of this treatment will also be studied.

RATIONALE: Green tea extract contains ingredients that may slow the growth of certain cancers. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of green tea extract and to see how well it works in treating patients with stage 0, stage I, or stage II chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

The purpose of this research study is to find out what effects (good and bad) the combination of Nipent+Cytoxan+Rituxan has on CLL cancer compared to Fludara+Cytoxan+Rituxan. While all of these drugs are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of other cancers, these combinations are experimental for the treatment of CLL.

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide in previously untreated CLL patients. Participants will receive fludarabine and cyclophosphamide on days 1, 2, and 3 of six 28-day cycles.

CpG has the potential to stimulate the immune system this study will evaluate the safety of CpG given sub-q or IV purpose is to measure biological changes in CLL cells after receiving CpG

The main purpose of this study is to find out how well participants with relapsed or refractory ALL respond to treatment with an etoposide- and teniposide-based induction chemotherapy regimen and what the side effects are. Primary Objectives: To estimate the response rate for patients with refractory or relapsed ALL. To estimate the survival rate of patients with refractory or relapsed ALL treated with risk-directed therapy.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether giving fludarabine together with cyclophosphamide is more effective than fludarabine alone in treating chronic lymphocytic leukemia. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying giving fludarabine together with cyclophosphamide to see how well it works compared to fludarabine alone in treating patients with advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
