Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid"

This research study is evaluating whether a psychological mobile application (app), is efficacious in reducing anxiety and depression symptoms and improving quality of life for patients diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) compared to a physical health promotion app.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of TXA127 on neutrophil and platelet counts in adult patients who have undergone a double cord blood transplant. The study will also evaluate the effect of TXA127 on chemotherapy-induced mucositis, an inflammation of the mucous membranes in the digestive tract (mouth to anus) and immune reconstitution which helps patients fight infections. For patients undergoing CBT, both neutrophil and platelet normalization and immune reconstitution can be delayed. TXA127 has shown to be well tolerated by patients and appears to induce a rapid production of neutrophils and platelets in the bloodstream as well as increase the immune system components. It has also been shown to reduce the severity of chemotherapy-induced mucositis.

This study is being conducted in a population of patients with chronic phase Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) to learn more about how patients follow prescribed regimens for taking oral cancer drugs.

This trial studies the feasibility of delivering the Partners in Care Program to caregivers of patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Psychological counseling interventions, such as the Partners in Care Program, may help to improve caregivers' psychosocial functioning, marital adjustment in the context of the cancer, communication, and support skills to the patient.

This pilot clinical trial compares the safety of two different platelet transfusion "thresholds" among patients with blood cancer or treatment-induced thrombocytopenia whose condition requires anticoagulant medication (blood thinners) for blood clots. Giving relatively fewer platelet transfusions may reduce the side effects of frequent platelet transfusions without leading to undue bleeding.

To satisfy a postmarketing requirement, the sponsor has been requested to conduct a Phase 1/Phase 2 single-group clinical study to investigate the pharmacokinetics and preliminary safety and efficacy of omacetaxine following a fixed-dose administration to patients with CP or AP CML who have failed 2 or more tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapies.

RATIONALE: Low dose deferasirox may be safe and effective in treating patients who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplant and have iron overload. PURPOSE: This pilot clinical trial studies safety and tolerability of deferasirox in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients who have iron overload. Effect of low dose deferasirox on labile plasma iron is also examined.

During the pre-transplantation phase (following completion of consolidation chemotherapy), patients will begin to receive G-CSF at 10 mcg/kg twice daily; leukapheresis will also be given until a target goal for recipient body weight is obtained, or up to a maximum of 5 days. Conditioning/Preparative therapy will follow PBSC collection for up to 30 days with Busulfan IV daily x 4 days; subsequent doses will be adjusted based on pharmacokinetic (plasma level)monitoring. Following 1 day of rest, stem cell reinfusion will begin with supportive care. During follow-up, patients will be monitored out to 730 days.

This is a multi-center, open-label, non-randomized, two-part Phase I/Ib study of RP7214 in combination with azacitidine in patients with AML, MDS and CMML. Part I is a 3+3 dose-escalation study to identify the MTD/RP2D of RP7214 and azacitidine combination in patients with AML, MDS, and CMML. Part II is a dose-expansion study to evaluate the clinical activity and safety of RP7214 and azacitidine combination in AML.

This study will examine the appropriate dose and side effects of dasatinib, when it is given with the standard of care chemotherapy for children and adolescents with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).
