Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid"

In this study researchers want to find out more about the side effects of a new drug for Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) blastic phase (BP) and if this disease will respond better to nilotinib combined with standard hyper-CVAD therapy rather than hyper-CVAD alone. Hyper-CVAD is a combination of cyclophosphamide, mesna, vincristine (vincristine sulfate), doxorubicin (doxorubicin hydrochloride), dexamethasone, methotrexate, cytarabine, and rituximab (only for patients with cluster of differentiation [CD]20 positive disease). Researchers don't know all the ways that this drug may affect people

The purpose of this study is to determine safety, tolerability, dose limiting toxicities (DLT) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ZEN003365 in patients with relapsed/refractory lymphoproliferative malignancies (LPM) or relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

This clinical trial studies bioelectrical impedance measurement for predicting treatment outcome in patients with newly diagnosed acute leukemia. Diagnostic procedures, such as bioelectrical impedance measurement, may help predict a patient's response to treatment for acute leukemia.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy followed by peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia.

Determine the feasibility of generation of autologous Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) or Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in myeloid blast crisis (CML/BC) derived dendritic cell activated lymphocytes (DC/AL) in poor prognosis patients. Determine the toxicity of autologous leukemia derived dendritic cell activated lymphocytes (DC/AL) in patients with AML or CML/BC. Quantitate circulating immune effector cells in patients after infusion of DC/AL. Record the efficacy of AML or CML/BC derived dendritic cells and activated lymphocytes in promoting and sustaining remission in patients with AML or CML/BC.

Primary Objective: To determine the maximally tolerated dose of donor PR1-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (PR1-CTL) as treatment for relapsed or persistent chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) after allogeneic hematopoietic transplantation from an HLA-matched related or unrelated donor. Secondary Objectives: To evaluate the immunological response following PR1-CTL treatment To evaluate the clinical efficacy by determining clinical, cytogenetic and molecular response rates within 6 months

Patients who undergo chemotherapy for leukemia will receive study medication for prevention of fungal infections. The study investigates the safety and tolerability of two different dosages, the efficacy in prevention of fungal diseases.

The trial is planned as a multicentric, national, phase II, open-label trial to evaluate safety and tolerance of nebulized Liposomal Amphotericin B (Ambisome) for LMA patients during the induction therapy ,intensification, plus Allogeneic Haematopoietic Progenitor Cell transplant in due course, as well for patients diagnosed of several malignant haematologic diseases and treated with Allogeneic Haematopoietic Progenitor Cell Transplant

A Randomized Multicenter Phase III Study to Evaluate the Role of All-trans Retinoic Acid (ATRA) in Combination with Induction Chemotherapy, or Azacitidine and Idarubicin as salvage therapy and Idarubicin with Cytarabine or Azacitidine as Maintenance Therapy in Older Patients with Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia (AML). To compare the outcome of elderly patients with newly-diagnosed AML treated with standard induction chemotherapy and post-remission therapy, in only patients in CR, with either azacitidine or cytarabine combined to idarubicin +/- ATRA and salvage therapy with azacitidine combined to idarubicin +/- ATRA.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of a new investigational acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) vaccine and see what effects (good and bad) it has on patients with advanced myelodysplasia or acute myelogenous leukemia.
