Imatinib Mesylate and 17-N-Allylamino-17-Demethoxygeldanamycin in Treating Patients With Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Clinical Trials Info presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't intended to be a substitute for certified health advice, travels to or treatment by using a genuine physician. We are not physicians. Always consult your dr. on Imatinib Mesylate and 17-N-Allylamino-17-Demethoxygeldanamycin in Treating Patients With Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site committed to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Imatinib Mesylate and 17-N-Allylamino-17-Demethoxygeldanamycin in Treating Patients With Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Clinical research trials and Imatinib Mesylate and 17-N-Allylamino-17-Demethoxygeldanamycin in Treating Patients With Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia health trials occur in hundreds of cities throughout the U.S.A.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials typically assess the effectivity of new drugs. The propose of the studies / undertakings is to resolve certain human health questions. Clinical trials are a popular means for physicians, government agencies, and private sector companies to locate treatments for all sorts of conditions, including Imatinib Mesylate and 17-N-Allylamino-17-Demethoxygeldanamycin in Treating Patients With Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia. Imatinib Mesylate and 17-N-Allylamino-17-Demethoxygeldanamycin in Treating Patients With Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Clinical Trials and other clinical trials permit volunteers to acquire medical treatment choices before they are available to the masses. Some times the test subjects obtain professional assistance for free, and every now and again they are compensated for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Imatinib Mesylate and 17-N-Allylamino-17-Demethoxygeldanamycin in Treating Patients With Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia clinical trial. Participants oftentimes recieve the most expert healthcare available for their Imatinib Mesylate and 17-N-Allylamino-17-Demethoxygeldanamycin in Treating Patients With Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia condition. Hazards are a reality, however, and can include extra or frequent physician visits, health risks (potentially life-endangering), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally governed with rigorous guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Imatinib Mesylate and 17-N-Allylamino-17-Demethoxygeldanamycin in Treating Patients With Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia



Imatinib Mesylate and 17-N-Allylamino-17-Demethoxygeldanamycin in Treating Patients With Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia

For Condition: accelerated phase chronic myelogenous leukemia,chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia,relapsing chronic myelogenous leukemia,blastic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia,Philadelphia chromosome positive chronic myelogenous leukemia
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute , National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for cancer cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy such as 17-N-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining imatinib mesylate with chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of imatinib mesylate combined with 17-N-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin in treating patients who have chronic myelogenous leukemia.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicity of 17-N-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG) when administered with imatinib mesylate in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia. - Determine the pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients. OUTLINE: This is an open-label, nonrandomized, multicenter, dose-escalation study of 17-N-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG). Patients receive oral imatinib mesylate on days 1-21 and 17-AAG IV over 1 hour on days 1, 4, 8, and 12. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of 17-AAG until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Once the MTD is determined, an additional cohort of 6-10 patients receives treatment at the recommended phase II dose. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 21-42 patients will be accrued for this study within 1.5 years.
