Active clinical trials for "Hematologic Neoplasms"

Anemia concerns a lot of patients with cancer and affects their quality of life (QOL). Numerous studies in oncology have demonstrated the benefit of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA) in the treatment of anemia. ESAs allow the improvement of QOL,of the hemoglobin level (Hb) and is a validated alternative to transfusion. However, in hematology, if there are some specific recommendations for the use of ESAs in lymphoid pathology, there are none for myeloid disorders and in the context of autografts and allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT). Thus, the investigators are in particular interested in both indications: treatment of anemia in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients treated with chemotherapy, and the in patients receiving a myeloablative or a non-myeloablative conditioning before allogeneic HSCT, whatever type of donor and cell source.

The primary research objective of this protocol is to evaluate the impact of integrating a home-based symptom monitoring system in the day-to-day care of cancer patients in community settings on the frequency of supportive symptom interventions, symptom severity, and quality of life.

Connected medicine "2.0" is a major challenge that will lead in the near future to profound changes in medical practices. Our study is part of this technological transformation, which is already taking the form of multiple devices available to practitioners: connected pill dispensers, integrated monitoring and surveillance systems (telemedicine), connected sensors, etc. However, a symptom as crucial and simple as body temperature has not been measured by real-time enteric capsule in a context of neutropenia. We therefore wish to study the concordance between the peripheral (tympanic) temperature and that measured by a capsule ingested in a cohort of patients hospitalized in the USIH. If the measurements are clinically reliable and truly allow anticipation of antimicrobial treatments, a medico-economic evaluation will be proposed between the two options in the context of USIH before its possible generalization.

Patients with haematologic malignancies are increasingly treated by Oral Anticancer Medications (OAMs), increasing the challenge of ensuring optimal adherence to treatment. However, except for Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) or Acute Lymphoid Leukemia (ALL), the extent of non-adherence has rarely been investigated in an outpatient setting. In Belgium, the only available data suffers from critical underrepresentation of patients from minority diverse population. In the context of increasing migration, the identification of differences in access and drug use that may lead to health disparities is crucial. Based on a sequential mixed method study design, our objectives are to measure adherence to OAMs in two subgroups of non-migrants and migrants with various haematological malignancies, to identify the associated risk factors and to explore the representations that come into play with regards to illness and adherence behaviors. Essentially, the MADESIO protocol will contribute to assess whether and why patients with migrant backgrounds are a risk group regarding adherence to OAMs.

Impact of the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment on the Quality of Life of elderly onco-hematologic patients' candidates for complex antitumoral therapies: clinical and biological correlatives

This is a single arm, open-label, single-center study. This study is indicated for relapsed or refractory CD19+ B-line hematological malignancy involved in CNS. 20 patients were enrolled. Primary objective is to explore the safety. The secondary objective is to explore the efficacy.

This observational study is proposed to observe the effect of high-dose, post-transplantation cyclophosphamide after a T cell-replete, HLA-matched PBSC graft from an HLA-identical or mismatched donor.

The aim of this study : Through the study of genes of protein, transporter, translator and epigenome investigating the effect of anti-cancer treatment or the key factor of the MDR (Multidrug resistance) on the blood cancer patients who are under the anti-cancer sork treatment Giving a service of anticancer medicine therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and genotyping

The study is intended to collect specimens to support the application of genome analysis technologies, including large-scale genome sequencing. This study will ultimately provide cancer researchers with specimens that they can use to develop comprehensive catalogs of genomic information on at least 50 types of human cancer. The study will create a resource available to the worldwide research community that could be used to identify and accelerate the development of new diagnostic and prognostic markers, new targets for pharmaceutical interventions, and new cancer prevention and treatment strategies. This study will be a competitive enrollment study conducted at multiple institutions.

The doctors in the Bone Marrow Transplant Service at the Indiana University Cancer Center are working to better understand how the immune cells that cause graft-versus-host disease (a major complication of stem cell transplantation in which the donor immune cells attack the patient's organs) can be selectively removed from the graft, leaving other immune cells that fight infections.
