Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid"

The purpose of this study is to describe the differences in quality of life (QOL) among newly diagnosed patients diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) to help design a patient decision-making QOL model for aligning patients' choice of treatment with what matters the most to them.

Induction of response in patients with AML that are either primary resistant (failed induction and or salvage therapy) or relapsed including post allogeneic stem cell transplantation and failed salvage therapy or cannot receive additional anthracycline .

This is a single center, "modified standard design" dose escalation study designed to determine the maximum tolerated, minimum efficacious dose (MTD/MED) of IL-15 (Intravenous Recombinant Human IL-15) and incidence of donor natural killer (NK) cell expansion by day +14 when given after haploidentical donor NK cells in patients with relapse or refractory acute myelogenous leukemia (AML).

Evaluation weather early chemotherapy attempts for remission induction can improve the results of patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), as compared to the standard group.

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of administering the combination of nilotinib and LDE225 to patients with chronic or accelerated phase of chronic myeloid leukemia and to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase II dose level (RP2D) of LDE225 in combination with nilotinib.

This study will see if the researchers can lower that risk by giving the patient Palifermin. This drug helps protect the lining of the mouth, throat, and stomach. These areas typically get sores or ulcers while the blood cell counts are very low. The patient can get infections in or from these sores. Palifermin might also help the immune system recover faster. It is currently approved for patients who receive their own stem cells. That is called an autologous transplant. This study will test the use of Palifermin for T-cell depleted allogeneic stem cell transplants.

One of two different doses of thymoglobulin will allow bone marrow engraftment with minimal Graft-versus-Host Disease and allow adequate immune response to allow the transplanted stem cells to replace the tumor cells.

The goal of this research study is to identify biologic and lifestyle factors that may increase a person's risk of developing acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome after treatment for a previous cancer (treatment-related AML/MDS).

A multicenter randomized trial was performed comparing induction therapy (IC: Idarubicin and Cytarabine, 5+7) to ICL (the same drugs plus lomustine (CCNU), 200mg\m2 orally at day 1). Patients in complete remission (CR) were then randomized to receive either maintenance therapy or intensification with intermediate-dose cytarabine and idarubicin followed by maintenance therapy.

The purpose of this study is to see whether HLA-mismatched donor cells infusion with chemotherapy (microtransplantation，MST) could increase complete remission (CR) and improve survival in older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML)，the investigators conducted a prospective, multicenter clinical trial of HLA-mismatched MST to estimate outcomes and toxicities.
