Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Lymphocytic Lymphoma Clinical Trials References presented on Clinical Trials Search is not intended to be a substitute for proven healthcare advice, trips or professional assistance by using a real medical. We aren't mDs. Always confer with your physician about Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Lymphocytic Lymphoma conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Lymphocytic Lymphoma Clinical research trials and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Lymphocytic Lymphoma medical trials take place in hundreds of localities across the U.S.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials usually evaluate the effectualness of new does drugs. The purpose of the studies / projects is to solve specific human health questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for physicians, government agencies, and private sector companies to discover treatments for all sorts of conditions, such as Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Lymphocytic Lymphoma. Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Lymphocytic Lymphoma Clinical Trials and other clinical trials permit volunteers to access healthcare treatment choices before they are available to the general public. Some times the subjects recieve professional assistance for without cost, and every now and again they are compensated for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Lymphocytic Lymphoma clinical trial. Subjects often receive the most expert healthcare possible for their Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Lymphocytic Lymphoma condition. Risks are a reality, nevertheless, and could include additional or frequent dr. calls, healthcare dangers (perhaps life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally governed with stern guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Lymphocytic Lymphoma
For Condition: refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia,recurrent diffuse small lymphocytic/marginal zone lymphoma
Status: No longer recruiting
Sponsor(s): Princess Margaret Hospital , National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of combining UCN-01 with fludarabine in treating patients who have relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia or lymphocytic lymphoma.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Determine the overall response rate in patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma treated with UCN-01 and fludarabine. - Assess the molecular changes in CLL cells in peripheral blood in patients treated with this regimen. - Determine the progression-free and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen. - Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, dose-escalation study of UCN-01. Patients receive UCN-01 IV over 3 hours on day 1 and fludarabine IV over 30-60 minutes on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of UCN-01 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Once the MTD is determined, 18-46 additional patients receive UCN-01 and fludarabine as above at the recommended phase II dose. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 12 patients will be accrued for the phase I portion of this study within 6 months. A total of 18-46 patients will be accrued for the phase II portion of this study within 9-23 months.
