Active clinical trials for "Preleukemia"

RATIONALE: Giving low doses of chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Removing the T cells from the donor cells before transplant and giving cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil after transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects of giving a donor stem cell transplant after pentostatin and total-body irradiation and to see how well it works in treating patients with hematological cancer.

Multi-institutional randomized phase III trial of a non-myeloablative preparative regimen with fludarabine and busulfex with or without anti-lymphocyte antibodies (monoclonal humanized Campath-1H administered s.c. or polyclonal rabbit anti-T lymphocyte antibodies (ATG), combined with low dose and short course cyclosporine A (CSA) and methotrexate (MTX) as the sole agent for prevention of graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) for patients with acute myelogenous leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation from an HLA compatible donor.

RATIONALE: Cyclosporine eye drops may prevent graft-versus-host disease of the eye in patients who have undergone donor stem cell transplant for hematologic cancer or bone marrow failure disorder. PURPOSE: This randomized phase I trial is studying how well cyclosporine eye drops work in preventing graft-versus-host disease of the eye in patients who have undergone donor stem cell transplant for hematologic cancer or bone marrow failure disorder.

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of monoclonal antibody therapy in treating patients who have primary myelodysplastic syndrome.

This is a phase I clinical trial that will define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and investigate the feasibility and safety of the combination of nivolumab and azacitidine after reduced-intensity allogeneic PBSC transplantation. Dose escalation will follow a traditional 3+3 design. The investigators will first escalate the dose of single agent nivolumab to determine its MTD (if any, at the doses tested), with an expanded cohort at the MTD or highest dose tested. The investigators will then combine escalating azacitidine in combination of with nivolumab at its determined MTD or highest dose tested in earlier cohorts, and expand the highest dose cohort tested with the combination. Patients will be treated according to the dose level cohorts described in the protocol.

The main aim of the study is to see if signs and symptoms of myelodysplastic syndromes disappear when treated with pevonedistat combined with decitabine and cedazuridine. Participants will receive an infusion of pevonedistat 3 times during a 28-day cycle. They will also take decitabine and cedazuridine tablets once a day for the first 5 days of the same cycle. A minimum of 6 28-day cycles is recommended, but participants can stop treatment at any time. A bone marrow biopsy, bone marrow aspirates, and blood samples will be collected during the study. Participants will attend a follow-up visit 30 days after their last dose of pevonedistat. Once treatment has ended, participants will be followed up with either monthly clinic visits or will be contacted every 3 months.

The primary objective of the study is to determine the response rate according to the International Working Group Response criteria for the combination of FF-10501-01 and azacitidine in patients previously untreated with hypomethylating agents, with Int2/High risk MDS according to the IPSS, and Intermediate/High/Very-High risk MDS according to the IPSS-R, or who are otherwise candidates for treatment with azacitidine.

This is a Phase 2a, Open-label, one arm study in which the eligible patients will be treated with IV Nerofe, three times a week in 28 days cycles (up to 12 cycles). Evaluation will include safety procedures, blood level of study drug in certain time points, immune system response and tests checking the mechanism of the drug action.

This open-label, randomized, parallel group phase II study will investigate the efficacy of computational biology-informed treatment vs. standard of care treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).

This study will determine the safety and applicability of experimental forms of umbilical cord blood (UCB) transplantation for patients with high risk hematologic malignancies who might benefit from a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) but who do not have a standard donor option (no available HLA-matched related donor (MRD), HLA-matched unrelated donor (MUD)), or single UCB unit with adequate cell number and HLA-match).
