Active clinical trials for "Philadelphia Chromosome"

The objective is to evaluate the cytogenetic response to Dasatinib (BMS-354825) administered for 24 weeks in subjects with Imatinib resistant or intolerant chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) once daily (QD) or twice daily. (BID)

RATIONALE: Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving imatinib mesylate after a donor stem cell transplant may prevent the recurrence of Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemia. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects of giving imatinib mesylate after a donor stem cell transplant and to see how well it works in treating patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemia.

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of belinostat when given together with azacitidine in treating patients with advanced hematologic cancers or other diseases. Belinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as azacitidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving belinostat together with azacitidine may kill more cancer cells.

The primary purpose of this study is to estimate the major cytogenetic response rates of BMS-354825 and imatinib (800 mg/d) in subjects with chronic phase, Philadelphia chromosome positive, chronic myeloid leukemia (PH+ CML) with disease resistant to imatinib at a dose of 400-600 mg/d.

The objectives of Part 1 of the study were: To determine the rate of hematologic response (HR) lasting ≥4 weeks in participants with Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in the accelerated phase (AP). To evaluate duration of HR, overall survival, cytogenetic response (CyR), time to blast crisis in CML participants in the AP, improvement of symptomatic parameters, tolerability and safety of STI571 treatment. The objective of the extension (Part 2) was: -To enable participants to have access to study drug and continue study treatment and to decrease data collection to include only overall survival and serious adverse events.

To evaluate the major molecular response (MMR) rate at 12 months of nilotinib treatment on study in patients with Philadelphia Chromosome Positive (Ph+) chronic myelogenous leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP) who have a suboptimal molecular response to imatinib at 18 months or later.

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of administering the combination of nilotinib and LDE225 to patients with chronic or accelerated phase of chronic myeloid leukemia and to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase II dose level (RP2D) of LDE225 in combination with nilotinib.

This study will assess the pharmacokinetics of imatinib in pediatric patients ages 1 to <4 years of age to help develop dosing regimens

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 further assess the safety of dasatinib in imatinib intolerant or resistant patients with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia, advanced phase chronic myeloid leukemia or Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The efficacy of the drug in this kind of patients will also further be documented.
