Active clinical trials for "Myeloproliferative Disorders"

This is research study to find out if a drug called ADCT-301 is safe and to look at how patients respond to the study drug after an allogeneic transplantation. ADCT-301 will be administered on Days 1, 8 and 15 with blood tests following study drug infusion. Patients will have a bone marrow biopsy at the end of cycle 2/before cycle 3 to see how they are responding to the study drug. Patients will be followed for approximately every 12 weeks from the last disease assessment for up to 1 year from completion of therapy. There are risks to this study drug. Some risks include: decrease in certain blood cells, weight loss, loss of appetite, rash and Guillain-Barre syndrome, where the immune system attacks and damages nerves.

The purpose of this study is to test a new drug called AUY922. AUY922 is not FDA-approved. AUY922 is a new kind of drug that attacks a protein called HSP90. HSP90 is found in both normal and cancer cells, but the investigators think it is more important in cancer cells. This study will see if AUY922 helps people with myelofibrosis, essential thrombocythemia and polycythemia vera. This study will also see if AUY922 is safe in people with myelofibrosis, essential thrombocythemia and polycythemia vera. It will find out what effects, good and/or bad, AUY922 has on the patient and the disease. The researchers hope that this study will help them to find better treatments for primary myelofibrosis, essential thrombocythemia and polycythemia vera.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy profile of different treatment regimens of Ruxolitinib (INCB018424) administered to two groups of patients; those with polycythemia vera (PV) and those with essential thrombocythemia (ET). Patients in each group were refractory to hydroxyurea or for whom hydroxyurea is contraindicated.

Rationale: Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor umbilical cord blood transplant helps stop the growth of cancer and abnormal cells and helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from the donor's umbilical cord blood are injected into the patient's bone marrow they may help make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Purpose: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects of donor umbilical cord blood transplant when given directly into the bone marrow and to see how well it works in treating patients with hematologic cancer.

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation (TBI) before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells and helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they will help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as filgrastim (G-CSF) and plerixafor, to the donor helps the stem cells move (mobilization) from the bone marrow to the blood so they can be collected and stored. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying giving plerixafor and filgrastim together for mobilization of donor peripheral blood stem cells before a peripheral blood stem cell transplant in treating patients with hematologic malignancies

RATIONALE: Bone marrow from donors may be able to treat patients with severe aplastic anemia and patients whose bodies have rejected previous bone marrow transplantation. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of bone marrow transplantation in treating patients who have severe aplastic anemia or whose bodies have rejected previous bone marrow transplant.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ruxolitinib versus anagrelide in subjects with essential thrombocythemia who are resistant to or intolerant of hydroxyurea.

The purpose of this study will be to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacological activity of pemigatinib in subjects with advanced malignancies. This study will have three parts, dose escalation (Part 1), dose expansion (Part 2) and combination therapy (Part 3).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of XL019 in adults with myelofibrosis. XL019 is a selective inhibitor of the cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase JAK2. JAK2 is activated by cytokine and growth factor receptors and phosphorylates members of the STAT family of inducible transcription factors. Activation of the JAK/STAT pathway promotes cell growth and survival, and is a common feature of human tumors. JAK2 is activated by mutation in the majority of patients with myelofibrosis, polycythemia vera and essential thrombocytosis and appears to drive the inappropriate growth of blood cells in these conditions.

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer and abnormal cells and helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When 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. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Removing the T cells from the donor cells before transplant may stop this from happening. Giving an infusion of the donor's T cells (donor lymphocyte infusion) after the transplant may help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying T-cell depletion in donor stem cell transplant followed by delayed T cell infusions in treating patients with hematologic cancer or other disease.
