Active clinical trials for "Myelodysplastic Syndromes"

A Phase III, multicenter, randomized study to compare the rate of complete response (CR) and duration of CR, in patients with TP53-mutated MDS who will receive APR-246 and azacitidine or azacitidine alone.

Treatment of patients with WHO defined IPSS int 2 and high risk MDS , AML with 20-30% marrow blasts and CMML type 2, after failure of azacitidine or decitabine exposure for at least 6 courses, or relapse after initial response.

CWP232291 blocks proliferation of cancer cells via activation of caspases. Active caspase have been shown to target beta-catenin, the hallmark of canonical Wnt signaling, for degradation through caspase-directed cleavage. CWP232291 targets beta-catenin for degradation and thereby inhibits the expression of cell cycle and anti-apoptotic genes such as cyclin D1 and survivin.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether lenalidomide can stop the growth of leukemia stem cells and can be used to prevent the return of leukemia cells after a transplant.

In this study participants with relapsed/refractory leukemia will be given MK-0457 in sequential cohorts and with varying treatment duration to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for MK-0457.

To estimate the percent of patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) who experience erythroid response and the interval to response with daily treatment of 25 mg of CC-5013 .

This non interventional study examines the feasibility of using patient specific therapeutic screening method, ex vivo to enhance current treatment recommendations in a clinically feasible time frame of 30 days.

This pilot clinical trial studies the feasibility of having induction chemotherapy in an outpatient setting. Patients with acute leukemia (AML) or advanced myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), at least 18 years of age will be examined. Treating eligible patients with induction chemotherapy in an outpatient setting may save in healthcare cost and improve a patients' quality of life.

This phase I trial studies pretargeted radioimmunotherapy and donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant employing fludarabine phosphate and total-body irradiation (TBI) to treat patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or myelodysplastic syndrome. Giving chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine phosphate, and TBI before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies can be combined with fludarabine phosphate and TBI to find cancer cells and kill them without harming normal cells. Pretargeted radioimmunotherapy (PRIT) allows for further improved targeting of tumor cells over standard directly labeled antibodies.

The aim of the study is to improve the accuracy of diagnosis for children and adolescents with MDS by a standardized review of morphology and standardized cytogenetic and molecular analysis. The primary objectives of the study are: To evaluate the frequency of the different subtypes of MDS in childhood and adolescence by a standardized diagnostic approach To evaluate the frequency of cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities: Specifically using array-CGH to evaluate the frequency of subtle chromosomal imbalances, i.e. gains and losses of defined chromosomal regions, and amplifications. Specifically using mFISH to identify unknown chromosomal aberrations, particularly subtle translocations involving new candidate genes, and to better define chromosomal breakpoints. The secondary objectives of the study are: To assess survival for children and adolescents with MDS and JMML To evaluate relapse rate, morbidity and mortality in children with MDS and JMML treated by HSCT
