Lomustine and Intermediate Dose Cytarabine in Older Patients With AML

Acute Myeloid Leukemia

A multicenter randomized trial was performed comparing induction therapy (IC: Idarubicin and Cytarabine, 5+7) to ICL (the same drugs plus lomustine (CCNU), 200mg\m2 orally at day 1). Patients in complete remission (CR) were then randomized to receive either maintenance therapy or intensification with intermediate-dose cytarabine and idarubicin followed by maintenance therapy.

Microtransplantation in Older Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Acute Myeloid Leukemia

The purpose of this study is to see whether HLA-mismatched donor cells infusion with chemotherapy (microtransplantation,MST) could increase complete remission (CR) and improve survival in older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML),the investigators conducted a prospective, multicenter clinical trial of HLA-mismatched MST to estimate outcomes and toxicities.

Haploidentical Stem Cell Transplantation for Patients With Hematologic Malignancies

LeukemiaAcute Lymphocytic (ALL)12 more

Blood and marrow stem cell transplant has improved the outcome for patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies. However, most patients do not have an appropriate HLA (immune type) matched sibling donor available and/or are unable to identify an acceptable unrelated HLA matched donor through the registries in a timely manner. Another option is haploidentical transplant using a partially matched family member donor. Although haploidentical transplant has proven curative in many patients, this procedure has been hindered by significant complications, primarily regimen-related toxicity including graft versus host disease (GVHD) and infection due to delayed immune reconstitution. These can, in part, be due to certain white blood cells in the graft called T cells. GVHD happens when the donor T cells recognize the body tissues of the patient (the host) are different and attack these cells. Although too many T cells increase the possibility of GVHD, too few may cause the recipient's immune system to reconstitute slowly or the graft to fail to grow, leaving the patient at high-risk for significant infection. This research project will investigate the use of particular pre-transplant conditioning regimen (chemotherapy, antibodies and total body irradiation) followed by a stem cell infusion from a "mismatched" family member donor. Once these stem cells are obtained they will be highly purified in an effort to remove T cells using the investigational CliniMACS stem cell selection device. The primary goal of this study will be to determine the rate of neutrophil and platelet engraftment, as well as the degree and rate of immune reconstitution in the first 100 days posttransplant for patients who receive this study treatment. Researchers will also study ways to decrease complications that may occur with a transplant from a genetically mismatched family donor.

Risk-Adapted Therapy of Acute Myeloid Leukemia of Adults (18-60 Years) According to the Cytogenetic...

Acute Myeloid Leukemia

The concept of the investigators risk-adapted multicenter treatment trial for younger adults, AML HD98A, is based on the results of the AML HD93 trial and on published data. Definition of risk groups is different compared to the AML HD93 trial; high-risk: refractory disease after first induction therapy and/or high risk karyotype [abn(3q), -5/5q-, -7/7q-, abn(12p), abn(17p), complex]; intermediate-risk: complete remission after induction therapy and intermediate risk karyotype [normal, abn(11q23), abn(16q22), other rare aberrations]; low-risk: complete remission after induction therapy and low risk karyotype [t(8;21)]. Patients exhibiting a t(15;17) were treated in a separated trial (APL HD95). Treatment consists of a first induction therapy with ICE followed by a second cycle ICE in case of response to first induction therapy. Patients with refractory disease after first induction therapy are assigned to a salvage therapy with A-HAM (all-trans retinoic acid, high-dose cytarabine and mitoxantrone) and the search for potential hematopoietic stem cell donors is extended from the family to unrelated persons. All patients achieving a CR after induction therapy with ICE are assigned to a first consolidation therapy with HAM. For intermediate-risk patients a peripheral stem cell or a bone marrow harvest are intended during the hematological recovery after the first consolidation. Second consolidation therapy was stratified according to the risk definition. For high risk patients a allogeneic transplantation is assigned from a related or unrelated donor preferentially after a dose-intensified conditioning therapy. All patients with intermediate risk and an HLA-matched family donor are assigned to allogeneic transplantation. Intermediate-risk patients without a family donor and normal karyotype at diagnosis are randomized between an autologous stem cell transplantation and a second course of HAM. The other intermediate-risk patients are assigned to autologous transplantation. For low-risk patients a second course of HAM is assigned.

AML Expressive Writing

Acute Myeloid Leukemia

A randomized, pilot feasibility and preliminary efficacy study to test such an intervention among hospitalized patients with AML who are receiving high-dose chemotherapy. Subjects randomized to the intervention arm will participate in a total of four, separate 1-hour expressive writing sessions that include the delivery of writing prompts, instructions, writing analyses, and coaching from a trained facilitator, delivered over the course of 2 weeks. Subjects randomized to the control arm of the study will receive standard care plus neutral writing prompts and instructions, but writing analyses and coaching from a trained facilitator will not be provided.

Yoga Fatigue Study

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia in Relapse3 more

Fatigue is a major problem in children, adolescents and adults receiving intensive chemotherapy for cancer and in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Guidelines from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network suggest that all patients, including children as young as 5 years of age, should be routinely screened for fatigue at the initial visit and at regular intervals throughout and following anti-cancer treatment. These guidelines also suggest that fatigue should be managed according to clinical practice guidelines. However, evidence demonstrating effective interventions for fatigue in children with cancer is scarce. Exercise is an effective intervention for cancer-related fatigue in patients of all ages. However, patients receiving the most intensive treatments may be too ill to participate in a standardized exercise program. A unique and potentially effective intervention that combines exercise and relaxation is yoga. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) will determine whether a 3 week program of individualized yoga is associated with less fatigue, better quality of life (QoL) and less systemic opioid use compared to the control program of an Apple tablet (iPad) games, music, movies or books. This is a multi-center, parallel-group, randomized trial of individualized yoga for fatigue. Subjects are inpatients 8-18 years of age receiving intensive chemotherapy for cancer or undergoing HSCT who are expected to remain in hospital for 3 weeks. Participants will be randomized to the individualized yoga program or to the iPad activity control program. For those who remain hospitalized on day 21, the alternate intervention will be offered for 1 week and the preferred strategy will be determined. Yoga has the potential to significantly reduce fatigue, a prevalent and distressing symptom, in children with cancer and HSCT. The investigators have assembled the optimal team with the expertise and track record to accomplish this important trial. This trial is an incremental and critically important step in a program of research designed to improve health for children at the highest risk for poor quality of life. Results may have broad applicability to other hospitalized pediatric populations and has the potential to change in-hospital care for these patients.
