Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate of the clinical efficacy and safety of DLAAG protocol in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome with blast excess

Objectives To demonstrate that measurable residual disease assessed by multiparameter flow cytometry during intensive treatment is a surrogate for overall survival and thus an early read-out for drug efficacy Study design Surrogate endpoint trial to establish that measurable residual disease assessed by multiparameter flow cytometry during intensive treatment is a surrogate for overall survival

This study aims to determine the safety and toxicity of incremental doses of Double Negative T (DNT) cells in human subjects with high risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). DNT cells are mature T lymphocytes that comprise ~1% of white blood cells in humans. Injection of DNTs from healthy donors has been demonstrated to be effective against AML cells. DNT cells will be collected from healthy volunteers and injected into patients.

One-third to one-half of patients with AML relapse and in general relapsed AML patients have a poor prognosis. The treatment of relapsed AML consists of induction chemotherapy followed by Allogenic Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT). However, at present there is no standard salvage chemotherapy regimen for relapsed AML, as no study has shown any one regimen to be significantly superior. Anthracyclines, Fludarabine, Etoposide and cytarabineare active agents in AMLand have been used as monotherapy and in combination in refractory and relapsed AML patients. According to previous studies the present CR rate of different regimens ranges from 50-70%. A retrospective analysis (unpublished) conducted at IRCH, AIIMS on relapsed AML patients treated with ADE (Cytarabine, Daunorubicin and Etoposide) chemotherapy showed the CR rates of approximately 70%. Therefore, we have planned this study to test the efficacy and toxicity of ADE induction chemotherapy in relapsed AML patients in a prospective manner.

The purpose of this study is to find out the maximum tolerable dose and safety of PHI-101, novel FLT3 inhibitor in the treatment of relapsed or refractory AML for patients who have received standard therapy or cannot tolerate standard therapy, and/or for whom no standard therapy exists. There will be two parts to the study, which we will call Phase Ia and Phase Ib. Phase Ia is called the dose escalation. Approximately 20 to 24 patients are planned to be enrolled into Phase Ia. Phase 1a is conducted to determine the best dose and schedule of dosing of PHI-101 to be used in Phase 1b. There will be 5 different dose levels of PHI-101 given to patients in Phase Ia. Phase Ib is called the dose expansion. Approximately 14-34 patients (approximately 14-17 patients in each of the 2 cohorts planned) of each cohort are planned in Phase Ib based on study design. Phase Ib is also being conducted to assess anti-leukemia response, changes in transfusion requirements, and safety of PHI-101 at the dose level identified during Phase Ia.

To compare the antitumor efficacy and toxicity of Idarubicin and cytarabine in combination with or not with infusions of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-mobilized HLA-mismatched donor peripheral blood stem cells in patients with newly diagnosed high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Primary study objective is the evaluation of efficacy of autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) with core-binding factor (CBF) positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in the first CR (CR1) in terms of relapse incidence (cumulative incidence of relapse, CIR) and disease-free survival (DFS). Secondary study objectives are the engraftment rate / time to engraftment, transplantation-related mortality (TRM) rate, event-free survival (EFS) rate, and Overall survival (OS).

The purpose of this study is to show that myeloablative hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation (HPCT) continues to offer acceptable disease-free survival for select patients requiring HPCT.

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy, such as hydroxyurea, cytarabine, idarubicin, and etoposide before a donor bone marrow transplant or stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It also helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. Interferon alfa may interfere with the growth of cancer cells and slow the growth of cancer. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It is not yet known whether chemotherapy is more effective with or without interferon alfa and/or bone marrow or stem cell transplant in treating patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying chemotherapy and biological therapy to see how well it works compared with chemotherapy, biological therapy, and donor bone marrow transplant or autologous stem cell transplant in treating patients with chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of DAC combined with HAAG regimen in the induction treatment of newly diagnosed AML patients older than 60 years.
