This is a pilot study with a descriptive study design.
Anthracycline induced late onset cardiotoxicity, defined in terms of abnormal findings on echocardiography, has been reported to occur in 57% of childhood cancer survivors. Serial monitoring of cardiac function by means of echocardiography
Study Rationale
1. AML is a bone marrow based malignancy that is rapidly growing and rapidly fatal if left untreated. Despite therapeutic strategies for up to 70% of patients, 20% are primarily refractory and another 50% will relapse after first line therapy. Among these refractory and relapsed
Patients with PSC often have ongoing inflammation and fibrosis (scars) along the length of their bile ducts, and eventually this involves the liver itself which can lead to cirrhosis (severe scarring), severe infections (cholangitis), bile duct cancer and death.
Although many patients are treated
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of bortezomib in combination with midostaurin and intensive chemotherapy in patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
II. To define the specific toxicities and the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of midostaurin
1. INDUCTION CHEMOTHERAPY
- For patients randomized to receive Idarubicin (Arm I, AI regimen) will be given Cytarabine 200 mg/m2/day by continuous iv infusion over 24 hours daily for 7 days (D 1-7) along with Idarubicin 12 mg/m2/day iv daily for 3 days (D 1-3).
- For patients randomized to receive
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To investigate the association of common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes of the three multidrug resistance (MDR) genes with treatment outcome in the clinical studies.
II. To assess the effect of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) B1, ABCC1, and ABCG2
The investigators have demonstrated previously that the calcium channel antagonists (CCAs) verapamil, nifedipine, and diltiazem can block in vitro and in vivo meningioma growth at clinically relevant doses (Jensen, Lee et al. 1995; Jensen, Petr et al. 2000; Jensen and Wurster 2001). However, only
Background Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is increasingly used as a treatment for a variety of malignant and non-malignant conditions. With improvements in conditioning regimens and post-transplant care, more HSCT recipients are becoming long-term survivors and therefore increasing
1. Background
Chronic cold agglutinin disease (CAD) is mediated by monoclonal cold-reactive autoantibodies that bind to erythrocyte surface antigens, causing haemagglutination and complement-mediated haemolysis. Anaemia is severe (Hb 8.0 g/dL or lower) in one-third of patients and complement-induced
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To estimate the proportion of patients with previously-untreated chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) attaining major molecular response by 12 months of treatment with dasatinib.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To estimate the proportion of patients with Philadelphia
