Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Lymphoid"

The main aims of this clinical study are to find out the maximum dose that can be given safely to patients, the potential side effects of the drug and how they can be managed. The study will also look at what happens to Anti-CD19 (DI-B4) inside the body. DI-B4 is a type of drug called an Anti-CD19 monoclonal antibody which is being used to stop the growth and kill cancerous immune cells by targeting the B-cell marker (CD-19) expressed on their surface. This drug has not been given to patients before. DI-B4 will be given weekly by intravenous infusion for four weeks. The study is in two parts. In Part 1, small groups of patients will be treated at increasing doses to find the highest safest dose and best dose for part 2 of the study. Approximately 16-20 patients will be treated in this part. In Part 2, the dose identified in Part 1 will be given to approximately 20 patients. Patients recruited to the study will receive four weeks (cycles) of treatment. They will attend an end of therapy visit eight weeks after their last dose of DI-B4, and attend follow-up visits up to eighteen months after their first dose of DI-B4. Information on the overall and progression free survival will be collected for a period up to eighteen months after the final patient is treated on the study. Patients will have blood and urine samples taken each week during treatment amongst other clinical tests. CT scans will be performed at the start of the study, at eight weeks post treatment and six months after the study start. Bone marrow biopsies and FDG-PET scans will only be taken if needed. Research blood samples will also be taken to look at what happens to the drug inside the body. It is important to explain that patients will have advanced cancer so it is unlikely that patients will benefit directly from taking part but the study may help improve future treatment of cancer.

This pilot phase II trial studies how well giving donor T cells after donor stem cell transplant works in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. In a donor stem cell transplant, the donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Giving an infusion of the donor's T cells (donor lymphocyte infusion) after the transplant may help increase this effect.

This phase II trial studies how well T cell depleted donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant works in preventing graft-versus-host disease in younger patients with high risk hematologic malignancies. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor 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. Removing a subset of the T cells from the donor cells before transplant may stop this from happening.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ibrutinib versus rituximab in adult Asia Pacific region patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL).

The purpose of this study is to confirm whether the bispecific T cell engager blinatumomab (MT103) is effective, safe and tolerable in the treatment of ALL patients with minimal residual disease.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if giving busulfan and fludarabine before a stem cell transplant can help control the disease better than the standard method in patients with leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, MDS, or MPD. In this study, 2 doses of busulfan will be given 2 weeks before a stem cell transplant followed by 4 doses of busulfan and fludarabine during the week before the stem cell transplant, rather than the standard method of giving 4 doses of busulfan and fludarabine only during the week before the stem cell transplant. The safety of this combination therapy will also be studied. Busulfan is designed to kill cancer cells by binding to DNA (the genetic material of cells), which may cause cancer cells to die. Busulfan is commonly used in stem cell transplants. Fludarabine is designed to interfere with the DNA of cancer cells, which may cause the cancer cells to die.

This Phase II, randomized, open-label, international, multicenter trial is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of rituximab monotherapy when given according to a dose intense regimen and to assess the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of ABT-263 when combined with dose-intense rituximab in previously untreated patients with B-cell CLL.

This is an open-label, single arm study. Approximately 3-30 patients will be enrolled. Patients will receive Oral ciclopirox olamine (aqueous suspension), initial starting dose of 5 mg/m2/day administered as a single dose daily for 5 days. Three patients will initially be treated at each dose level in sequential cohorts. Dose escalation will continue for each subsequent cohort based on toxicity and plasma drug concentrations observed during the previous cohort. Dose escalation will continue until establishment of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) has been met. Patients who have demonstrated response to treatment, up to 6 total cycles of treatment may be administered. If additional cycles are warranted, ciclopirox olamine will be given at the same dose and frequency as the patient initially received.

To assess the safety of dasatinib (BMS-354825) in subjects with Imatinib resistant or intolerant chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who are resistant or intolerant to treatment and will continue study drug after completing the previous Phase I/II study (CA180031/NCT00337454)

This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of temsirolimus when given together with dexamethasone, mitoxantrone hydrochloride, vincristine sulfate, and pegaspargase in treating young patients with relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia or non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Temsirolimus may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as dexamethasone, mitoxantrone hydrochloride, vincristine sulfate, and pegaspargase work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving temsirolimus with combination chemotherapy may be and effective treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia or non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
