Active clinical trials for "Philadelphia Chromosome"

RATIONALE: Dasatinib and vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving dasatinib together with vorinostat may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of dasatinib when given together with vorinostat in treating patients with accelerated phase or blastic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia or acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

RATIONALE: Nilotinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving nilotinib together with combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving nilotinib together with combination chemotherapy works in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Due to ALL Ph+ patients should receive a different treatment, is proposed a therapeutical protocol with: intensification treatment of induction to increment the CR rate, allogenic transplantation in first CR, autologous transplantation follow by alfa interferon in patients cannot done allogenic transplantation.

Two-arm, randomized, open-label trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bosutinib alone compared to imatinib alone in subjects newly diagnosed with chronic phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML). The primary endpoint is cytogenetic response rate at one year.

The study was a local multicentric, open-label, non-randomized phase II study of nilotinib as a first line treatment in adult patients with newly-diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) and chronic phase myeloid leukemia (CML-CP).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the side effects and anti-leukemic benefits of imatinib with those of interferon and Ara-C for patients who have chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in the chronic phase. Patients in this study will be randomized (1:1) to receive either interferon plus Ara-C or imatinib as initial treatment.

This study will investigate if nilotinib provides an improved safety and efficacy profile over that seen in patients receiving Imatinib.

The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if BMS-354825 will have activity as defined by hematologic responses in subjects with lymphoid blast phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia with primary or acquired resistance to imatinib mesylate.

The objective of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of imatinib mesylate in patients diagnosed as having Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL).

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of bosutinib when given together with inotuzumab ozogamicin and to see how well it works in treating patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia or chronic myeloid leukemia that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Bosutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotoxins, such as inotuzumab ozogamicin, are antibodies linked to a toxic substance and may help find cancer cells that express CD22 and kill them without harming normal cells. Giving bosutinib together with inotuzumab ozogamicin may be a better treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia or chronic myeloid leukemia.
