Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myelogenous, Chronic, BCR-ABL Positive"

This is a phase III trial comparing, for newly diagnosed chronic phase CML patients, nilotinib 600 mg BID as a standard arm and nilotinib 600 mg BID combined to interferon alfa 2 a (pegylated form improving tolerance and maybe enhancing is efficacy) at increased doses for a total of 24 months of combination, in a 1:1 randomized manner. The assessment for the primary efficacy endpoint will be performed at 12 months (since nilotinib initiation) and is the rate patients obtaining MR4.5 will be measured at this time point.

The purpose of this study is to assess whether dasatinib can be discontinued without occurrence of molecular relapse in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase in complete molecular remission(CMR) while on dasatinib.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of unrelated double umbilical cord blood units Transplantation in patients with haematological malignancies using Antithymocyte Globulin Cyclophosphamide, busulfan as conditioning and cyclosporin, methylprednisolone as GVHD prophylaxis.

This is a pilot study designed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of performing umbilical cord blood transplants in older adults or younger infirm patients with high-risk hematopoeitic malignancies. A novel reduced-intensity preparative regimen for umbilical cord blood transplantation will be used. One to a maximum of three cord blood units, depending on cell count, will be administered to facilitate engraftment. Ten patients will be enrolled with an expected accrual rate of 3-4 patients per year and with a goal of completing accrual within 2-3 years.

RATIONALE: PHA-739358 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well PHA-739358 works in treating patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia that relapsed after imatinib mesylate or c-ABL therapy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence of neutrophil engraftment after transplantation of one or two cord blood units meeting a predetermined total minimum cell dose of 2.0 x 10 to the seventh total nucleated cell (TNC)/kg.

The aims of the study are to determine whether single agent imatinib (STI571; Glivec) is more effective as up-front remission induction therapy than conventional multi-agent induction chemotherapy for elderly patients with Philadelphia positive (Ph+)ALL, whether this treatment is better tolerated, and whether subsequent combination therapy with imatinib and chemotherapy of approximately a 1 year duration is tolerable and effective with respect to maintaining remissions.

This is an observational registry to further characterize the safety profile of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in the chronic phase (CP-CML), accelerated phase (AP-CML), blast phase (BP-CML), or Ph+ALL treated with Iclusig (ponatinib) in routine clinical practice in the US. The registry is focused on analysis of vascular occlusive events.

To compare administration of peginterferon-α-2a for 1 year versus observation after stopping tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients with deep MR ≥ 2 years.

The reconstitution of a functioning immune system after allogeneic stem cell transplantation takes months to years. Particularly memory B-lymphocytes reconstitute poorly with the current conditioning regimes. During the period of intense immune suppression the patients are extremely susceptible to bacterial, fungal and, most importantly, viral infections.The adoptive transfer of B-lymphocytes from the stem-cell donor might significantly enhance humoral immunity for the patient. Aim of the study is to evaluate a new cellular therapy with B-lymphocytes regarding safety. A booster vaccination after B-lymphocyte transfer will evaluate the functionality of the transferred B-lymphocytes in the patient.
