Background:
- Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is an indolent B-cell leukemia comprising 2% of all leukemias, or approximately 1900 new cases/year in the US. The nucleoside analogs cladribine and pentostatin are highly active as monotherapy with complete remission (CR) rates of 80 to 90%. However, there is
Background:
- Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is an indolent CD22+ B-cell leukemia comprising 2% of all leukemias, or approximately 1200 of the 62,130 new cases of leukemia/year in the US. HCL variant (HCLv), also CD22+, is 10-20% as common as HCL, but more common in the relapsed/refractory population due
The goals of the research protocol are to clearly untie the respective roles of uric acid (UA) and xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) pathways on endothelial function and oxidative stress in humans.
UA represents the end-product of purine metabolism due to the loss of uricase 15 million years ago in
Background
Chronic cold agglutinin disease (CAD) is mediated by monoclonal cold-reactive autoantibodies that bind to erythrocyte surface antigens, causing hemagglutination and complement-mediated hemolysis. Anemia is severe in one-third of patients (hemoglobin level 8.0 g/dL or lower). Cold-induced
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the small bowel and colon. Symptoms commonly include bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss, and fever. There is no known cause or cure for CD. The aim of current CD treatments is to induce and maintain remission, to reduce the need of
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the colon. Symptoms include bloody diarrhea, weight loss, and fever. There is no known cause or cure for UC. The aim of current UC treatments is to induce and maintain remission, to reduce the need of corticosteroids and avoid
Illness: treatment overview Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) is the most prevalent adult leukemia among western countries (6.7% Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas- NHL). The incidence rate is 2-6 cases per 100.000 person per year increasing with age and reaching an incidence rate of about 13/100.000 at 65
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia in the western world. The disease mostly affects the elderly. At present no curative therapy is available. Although the majority of patients initially do respond to chemotherapy, most patients eventually develop drug resistance. The

There are multiple secondary objectives in this trial:
- To estimate the overall event-free survival of patients treated with risk-directed therapy
- To identify the plasma methotrexate (MTX) concentrations that produce maximum intracellular accumulation of active metabolites (methotrexate
Background:
It is estimated that 30-50% of patients with CLL have tumors that express cluster of differentiation 25 (CD25) (Tac or IL2R). Normal resting T-cells are not sensitive to LMB-2 due to insufficient CD25 expression. LMB-2 is an anti-CD25 recombinant immunotoxin containing variable domains
