Active clinical trials for "Preleukemia"

This clinical trial studies idarubicin, cytarabine, and pravastatin sodium in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndromes. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as idarubicin and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Pravastatin sodium may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving idarubicin and cytarabine together with pravastatin sodium may kill more cancer cells.

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of donor natural killer cells when given together with donor stem cell transplant and to see how well they work in treating patients with myeloid malignancies that are likely to come back or spread. Giving chemotherapy, such as busulfan and fludarabine phosphate, 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. When the healthy stem cells and natural killer 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.

By doing this study, researchers hope to learn the following: If providing hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy prior to an umbilical cord blood (UBC) transplant will help to improve the homing process The safety of HBO administration in the setting of the UBC transplant The effects of HBO therapy on the engraftment process

This phase I trial studies the effects and safety of adding azacitidine (5-AzaC) to the standard of care (Soc) for patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) after being treated with donor stem cell transplant. SoC includes giving an infusion of the donor's white blood cells (donor lymphocyte infusion or DLI) to boost the anticancer effects of the transplant. Giving 5-AzaC after DLI may alter the function of T-cells resulting in reduced incidence of graft versus host disease (GVHD) while maintaining the anticancer effects.

The primary hypothesis of this research study is that patients in remission undergoing myeloablative haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) on the Thomas Jefferson University (TJU) 2 Step treatment regimen will have a disease-free survival (DFS) rate at 1 year that is the same or better than the historical DFS of patients with similar diagnoses and ages undergoing matched sibling HSCT. Based on a review of the literature a DFS rate of 50% or better at 1 year would meet the criterion for an effective alternative therapy. A DFS rate of 75% or better would imply superior efficacy of the TJU 2 Step approach over T-replete matched sibling HSCT.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and determine the best dose of prexasertib (LY2606368) when given together with cytarabine and fludarabine in patients with acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome that has returned after a period of improvement or no longer responds to treatment. Prexasertib (LY2606368) may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine and fludarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving prexasertib (LY2606368) together with cytarabine and fludarabine may work better in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome.

RO6870810 (formerly TEN-010) is a small molecule, bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) bromodomain inhibitor. This study is designed to characterize the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of RO6870810 monotherapy in participants with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (RR-AML) and hypomethylating agent (HMA)-refractory myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The study will consist of a Screening Period, Treatment Period, and Post-Treatment Period. A standard 3+3 design will be used in which successive cohorts of three or more participants with RR-AML or HMA-refractory MDS will be treated at escalating doses until a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is identified. Up to 51 adult participants with AML or MDS will be enrolled in the study.

This is a phase 1/2, uncontrolled, open-label, multicenter study in patients with MDS for whom no effective therapies currently exist.

This study evaluates the efficacy of high-dose post-transplantation cyclophosphomide as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis after allogeneic stem cell transplantation in patients with different risk of GVHD. The risk-adapted strategy involves using single-agent cyclophosphomide in recipients of matched bone marrow graft, and combining cyclophosphomide with tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil in recipients of matched peripheral blood stem cells and mismatched bone marrow.

This is a multicenter, Randomized, Open-Label, Parallel, Comparative, Dose-Response Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety study of KRN321 of subcutaneous injection in Adult Subjects with Low- or Intermediate-1-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome.
