Active clinical trials for "Primary Myelofibrosis"

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of IPI-926 in patients with myelofibrosis (MF) (primary myelofibrosis [PMF], post-polycythemia vera myelofibrosis [post-PV MF], or post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis [post-ET MF]).

This is an open-label, Phase II Clinical Trial of Aplidin® (plitidepsin) in Patients with Primary Myelofibrosis and post polycythemia vera/essential thrombocythemia (Post-PV/ET) Myelofibrosis.

The study consists of two phases: The first portion of the study is a Phase 1 dose escalation study to determine the maximum tolerated dose and the dose limiting toxicities of SB1518 when given as a single agent orally once daily in subjects with Chronic Idiopathic Myelofibrosis (CIMF) regardless of their JAK2 mutational status. The second portion of the study is a Phase 2 study to define the efficacy and safety profile of single agent SB1518 at the recommended dose in subjects with CIMF.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a reduced intensity conditioning regimen followed by allogeneic stem cell transplantation is a feasible and effective treatment for patients with primary myelofibrosis.

Stem cell transplantation is used to treat may types of diseases. There a 2 types of transplants, conventional (very intense) and reduced intensity-non-myeloablative, also called mini-transplants. This study proposes to use a conditioning regimen for allogeneic transplantation along with a reduced intensity transplant. Conditioning regiment is the name for the combination of chemotherapy drugs that is given to patients before receiving a transplantation of donor stem cells. It is hoped that the regimen designed for this study proves to be less toxic and has an equal or better anticancer effect than the regimens that are normally used. The regimen being used is a combination of two chemotherapy drugs, fludarabine and melphalan. This regimen has been studied in recipients of matched sibling transplants and in recipients of alternative donor stem cells in other hematologic malignancies. Those subjects, who receive stem cells from an unrelated donor, will also receive and additional drug called ATG or anti thymocyte globulin. ATG suppresses the immune system, thus reducing the chances for the recipient rejecting the transplant (graft). The purpose of this study is to observe if reduced intensity transplants can be used to allow engraftment or "take" of the donor's bone marrow. Studies conducted in the past show this type of transplant is much less toxic than traditional bone marrow transplants. Reduced intensity transplants may be better tolerated by patients who may experience serious side effects from standard (very intense) stem cell transplant. The study has been recently amended to follow all subjects for survival.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if azacitidine can help to control MF. The safety of azacitidine in patients with Myelofibrosis (MF) will also be studied.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of and to select a treatment regimen of pomalidomide (CC-4047) either as single-agent or in combination with prednisone to study further in patients with myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia (MMM).

RATIONALE: Pemetrexed disodium may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Studying samples of cerebrospinal fluid and blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn how pemetrexed disodium works in the body and identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects and how well pemetrexed disodium works in treating patients with leptomeningeal metastases.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of sunitinib malate in treating human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients with cancer receiving antiretroviral therapy. Sunitinib malate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

This study seeks to (i) determine a safe and tolerated dose of CYT387 (momelotinib) given to patients with PMF, post-PV or post-ET and, (ii) assess the effectiveness of orally-administered CYT387 as a treatment for PMF, post-PV or post-ET.
