Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic, B-Cell"

This randomized phase III trial studies how well graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis works in treating patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing unrelated donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant (PBSCT) 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. Giving total-body irradiation (TBI) together with fludarabine phosphate (FLU), cyclosporine (CSP), mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), or sirolimus before transplant may stop this from happening.

This single arm, open-label study will assess the safety and efficacy of low dose fludarabine and cyclophosphamide in combination with standard dose MabThera/Rituxan (rituximab) as primary therapy in elderly patients (>/= 65 years) with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Patients will receive six 28-day cycles of treatment with Mabthera/Rituxan (375 mg/m2 intravenously [iv] Day 0 of cycle 1, 500 mg/m2 iv Day 1 of cycles 2-6), fludarabine (12.5 mg/m2/d iv Days 1-3, cycles 1-6) and cyclophosphamide (150 mg/m2/d iv Days 1-3, cycles 1-6). Anticipated time on study treatment is 6 months, with a 30-month follow-up period.

Panobinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. This phase II trial is studying how well panobinostat works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma

This study evaluated the safety and tolerability of using HSC835 in patients with hematological malignancies.

This is a study of CDX-1127, a therapy that targets the immune system and may act to promote anti-cancer effects. The study enrolls patients with hematologic cancers (certain leukemias and lymphomas), as well as patients with select types of solid tumors.

This trial will use two cord blood units for transplantation using a reduced intensity regimen rather than using intense doses of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Two cord blood units (double cord blood) are being used, as the numbers of blood cells in one unit are too few to allow successful growth of these cells. Because the risk of infection, particularly virus infection, is high after double cord blood transplant, this study seeks to reduce the rise of virus infection by using a reduced intensity regimen without a medicine called antithymocyte globulin (ATG), as used in prior cord blood transplants. Subjects will receive two chemotherapy drugs, melphalan and fludarabine, and low dose of total body radiation (one treatment) instead of the ATG. The number of patients with virus infections in this study will be compared to our prior experience using the ATG.

This open-label, multicenter, randomized study compared the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of obinutuzumab (RO5072759; GA101) 1000 mg versus 2000 mg in participants with previously untreated CLL. Participants were randomized to receive a maximum of 8 cycles (28-day cycle) of obinutuzumab (1000 mg intravenous [IV] infusion, on Days 1, 8 and 15 of Cycle 1 and Day 1 of each subsequent cycle up to 8 cycles or maximum of 8 cycles of obinutuzumab (2000 mg IV infusion, on Days 1, 8 and 15 of Cycle 1 and Day 1 of each subsequent cycle up to 8 cycles.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of auranofin to treat patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), or prolymphocytic lymphoma (PLL).

This study is being conducted to demonstrate the superiority in progression-free survival (PFS) of dinaciclib compared to ofatumumab in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) participants with del 17p or in the overall population who are refractory to either fludarabine treatment or chemoimmunotherapy.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate a new combination of chemotherapy drugs for CLL/SLL using the drugs bendamustine (an intravenous chemotherapy drug), rituximab (an intravenous medication called a monoclonal antibody), and lenalidomide (an anti-cancer pill). The purpose of this study is to see if giving the chemotherapy pill lenalidomide after treatment with bendamustine and rituximab is able to prolong the period of time before the cancer starts growing again and causing symptoms.
