CLINICAL TRIALS PROFILE FOR SANDIMMUNE

All Clinical Trials for SANDIMMUNE

Trial ID	Title	Status	Sponsor	Phase	Start Date	Summary
NCT00000936 ↗	A Study To Test An Anti-Rejection Therapy After Kidney Transplantation	Terminated	National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)	Phase 3	1999-11-01	Kidney transplantation is often successful. However, despite aggressive anti-rejection drug therapy, some patients will reject their new kidney. This study is designed to test two anti-rejection approaches. Two medications in this study are currently used in children, but there is no information regarding which drug is safer or more effective. Survival rates in renal transplantation are unacceptably low. Therefore, there is a need for an improved post-transplant treatment, such as the induction therapy used in this study.
NCT00002831 ↗	Chemotherapy Plus Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Chronic Myelogenous or Acute Leukemia	Completed	National Cancer Institute (NCI)	Phase 1/Phase 2	1995-08-01	RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of high-dose chemotherapy plus peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients with chronic myelogenous or acute leukemia.
NCT00002831 ↗	Chemotherapy Plus Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Chronic Myelogenous or Acute Leukemia	Completed	M.D. Anderson Cancer Center	Phase 1/Phase 2	1995-08-01	RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of high-dose chemotherapy plus peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients with chronic myelogenous or acute leukemia.
NCT00002832 ↗	Decitabine and Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients Who Have Relapsed Following Bone Marrow Transplantation for Leukemia, Myelodysplastic Syndrome, or Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia	Completed	National Cancer Institute (NCI)	Phase 1/Phase 2	1995-08-01	RATIONALE: Peripheral stem cell transplantation may be an effective treatment for leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or chronic myelogenous leukemia that has relapsed following bone marrow transplantation. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of decitabine and peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients who have leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or chronic myelogenous leukemia that has relapsed after bone marrow transplantation.
NCT00002832 ↗	Decitabine and Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients Who Have Relapsed Following Bone Marrow Transplantation for Leukemia, Myelodysplastic Syndrome, or Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia	Completed	M.D. Anderson Cancer Center	Phase 1/Phase 2	1995-08-01	RATIONALE: Peripheral stem cell transplantation may be an effective treatment for leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or chronic myelogenous leukemia that has relapsed following bone marrow transplantation. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of decitabine and peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients who have leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or chronic myelogenous leukemia that has relapsed after bone marrow transplantation.
