Active clinical trials for "Precursor Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia-Lymphoma"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ponatinib (Iclusig®) in patients with BCR-ABL positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in standard clinical practice in Europe.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the family perspective on follow-up programs after treatment for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. It is relevant when new follow-up programs are to be designed.

This randomized pilot clinical trial studies giving acupuncture in reducing nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing chemotherapy. Pressing and stimulating nerves at an acupuncture point on the inside of the wrist may help control nausea and vomiting during chemotherapy.

This clinical trial is studying body mass index in younger patients receiving prednisone/prednisolone, vincristine, daunorubicin, and pegaspargase for high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about the affect of body mass index on the way anticancer drugs work in the body. It may also help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment

This is a prospective, multicenter observational study to collect clinically annotated biospecimens in order to assess the correlation between ex vivo data generated by the Notable assay platform and clinical outcome.

This laboratory study is looking into genes in samples from younger patients with relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Studying samples of tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors find better ways to treat cancer.

In a population-based study to explore the impact of TPMT-status on the risk of relapse and of second cancer among all patients treated according to the NOPHO ALL2000.

Specific Aim: Compare the endothelial function, arterial stiffness and components of metabolic syndrome of childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) survivors to healthy sibling controls. Plan: A cross sectional study comparing ALL survivors to sibling controls including measures of endothelial function and arterial stiffness obtained form a peripheral artery tonometry device, height, weight, waist circumference, fasting lipid, glucose and insulin.

Development of a second neoplasm (SMN) during or after therapy for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a rare event generally associated with a poor prognosis. In this international study we analyze subtypes of SMN in relation to their initial leukemia characteristics and treatment, and their subsequent overall survival.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a novel standard of care protocol, washing red cell and platelet transfusions for younger patients with acute leukemia, has yielded improved clinical outcomes at Strong Memorial Hospital (Rochester, New York, USA). This standard of care was implemented based upon an earlier randomized trial (BMC Blood Disorders. 2004 Dec 10;4(1):6) The comparator will be historical controls from the medical literature.
