Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid"

This is an open label phase 1 feasibility and safety dose escalation study. The main objective is to evaluate the safety of DCP-001 intradermal vaccination in patients with AML.

This randomized phase III trial studies how well levofloxacin works in preventing infection in young patients with acute leukemia receiving chemotherapy or undergoing stem cell transplant. Giving antibiotics may be effective in preventing or controlling early infection in patients receiving chemotherapy or undergoing stem cell transplant for acute leukemia. It is not yet known whether levofloxacin is effective in preventing infection.

Phase II trial evaluating the safety & efficacy of Atorvastatin for prophylaxis of Acute Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) in patients with hematological malignances undergoing human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-Matched Related Donor Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT).

The purpose of this study is to determine if FDA approved food safety guidelines are equivalent to a low bacterial diet (the neutropenic diet) with respect to the acquisition of infections during neutropenia in a sample of pediatric cancer patients.

This is a multicenter, multinational, non-randomized, non-controlled open-label phase II trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treosulfan in a combination regimen with fludarabine as conditioning therapy prior to allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) in patients with AML. The aim is to demonstrate a clinical benefit compared with historical data on intravenous busulfan (BusulfexTM, BusilvexTM), the only drug so far registered in the indication conditioning before allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

The goal of this clinical research study is to find out if Procrit (epoetin alfa) will help decrease the need for blood transfusions in patients who have Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) or High-risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) and are receiving chemotherapy. Researchers also want to learn about the remission rates (rates of recovery) in patients with cancer who have received treatment with epoetin alfa. The safety and effectiveness of this therapy will also be studied.

This observational study aims at assessing the tolerability and safety profiles of Ponatinib, a drug used for Chronic Myeloid Leukemia patients who are Philadelphia positive. This drug is used during the chronic phase of the disease, according to the Italian national compassionate law 648/96.

The study will include newly-diagnosed AML patients, not suffering acute promyelocytic leukemia; aged 18-60 years, who are eligible for standard induction chemotherapy. The patients will be randomized to one standard induction regimen (DAC or DA-90). At day seven after completion of induction, a bone marrow aspiration with MRD will be performed for an early evaluation of response to treatment. Patients without bone marrow blast reduction below 10% at day seven after induction will be given a second early induction course. Patients who do not achieve CR after two induction courses will be randomized to one of the standard salvage regimens (FLAG-IDA or CLAG-M). Postremission treatment intensity will be adjusted to risk group based on cytogenetic and molecular risk factors at diagnosis and AML biology (secondary AML, therapy related AML). Patients with a low risk of relapse will be allocated to consolidation, with three courses of high doses of Ara-C (HiDAC), or two courses of HiDAC with subsequent autologous stem cell transplantation. Intermediate- or high-risk patients will be referred for allogeneic stem cell transplantation, if they have a matched donor. Until transplantation, consolidation with HiDAC will be continued.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to study genetically engineered NK92 cell therapy in treating patients with CD33 positive acute myeloid leukemias that is relapsed (after stem cell transplantation or intensive chemotherapy) or refractory to further chemotherapy.

Bosutinib is a 2nd generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has shown promising results from first up to fourth line treatment in patients with in chronic phase of chronic myelogenous leukaemia. Most patients discontinuing the treatment with Bosutinib do so because of side effects occuring early after starting the treatment. A step in dosing scheme could improve these early toxicities. The aim of this study therefore is to demonstrate that temporary lowering of the Bosutinib dose during early treatment may help to reduce or prevent side effects while preserving efficacy.
