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

Background: Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CART) therapy is a form of immunotherapy which can be used to treat people with relapsed B-ALL. For those who achieve remission after CART alone, it may cure up to 50% of people who receive this therapy. However, for people who relapse after CART, it can be hard to achieve remission again. In patients where CART fails, stem cell transplant (HCT) can be used to prevent relapse and achieve cure. But HCT can cause serious side effects. Better testing is needed to distinguish people who can be cured with CART alone from people who may also need to have HCT. Objective: To see if the use of a series of blood and bone marrow tests at regular intervals can help monitor for B-ALL relapse after CART therapy. Eligibility: People aged 1 to 25 years with B-ALL who have had CART therapy within the past 42 days. They must never have had a blood stem cell transplant; they must also have no measurable blood cancer cells. Design: Participants will visit the clinic every 2 weeks starting 42 days after they receive CART therapy. Each visit will be about the same amount of time as a regular clinic visit. about 8 hours. Participants will have blood drawn for testing on each visit. Bone marrow biopsy/aspirate will be done during 4 of the visits at routine timepoints after CART. A needle will be inserted to draw a sample of tissue from inside the bone in the hip. A small amount of blood and tissue will be tested with ClonoSEQ and to evaluate for normal B-cells side by side with the standard tests. The combined testing may help determine whether participants are eligible for HCT and/or at risk of relapse after CART. Participants will be in the study for 1 year

This study will provide long-term follow-up for patients who have received treatment with WU-CART-007 in a previous clinical trial. In this study, patients will be followed for up to 15 years after their last dose of WU-CART-007 for evaluation of delayed adverse events, presence of persisting WU-CART-007 vector sequences, and overall survival and progression-free survival.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, through molecular response and event-free survival, about the use of Imatinib in conjunction with chemotherapy after BFM "like" Induction in children with ALL Ph+.

This study observes behavioral parenting skills to see whether it could be a novel target for improving pediatric medication adherence. This study may help researchers better understand the challenges parents face when giving their young child with an illness medicine at home and learn about various factors related to medication compliance in young children

Previous work performed by University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center (UNMCCC) investigators has revealed previously unknown genomic mutations in children, adolescents, and young adults with high-risk B and T cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Using genomic and next generation DNA sequencing technologies, these investigators revealed that 14% of children with high-risk ALL have "Philadelphia chromosome-like" ("Ph-like") ALL. Patients with this form of ALL were found to have a significantly increased risk of treatment failure and death. Further work revealed that there are more than 40 distinct gene rearrangements and fusions that can result in Ph-like ALL. Cell lines and human leukemic cells expressing some of these different gene fusions were sensitive to currently available drugs. This suggests that Ph-like ALL patients with these specific distinct gene fusions should be targeted in future clinical trials to be treated with appropriate therapy. Further work is also needed to identify other potentially targetable genetic alterations in ALL patients. Therefore, the goal of this study is to perform genomic screening of all newly diagnosed ALL patients seen at UNM and to use this information to enroll patients onto available National Clinical Trial Network (NCTN) clinical trials. If an appropriate NCTN trial is not available, best clinical management will be pursued.

This study evaluates how well the heart, lungs, and muscles are working individually, and how these systems are working together in transplant survivors. Information collected in this study may help doctors to understand why hematopoietic stem cell transplant survivors are at higher risk for developing cardiovascular disease.

The GMALL registry serves the purpose of ALL research and quality assurance. The Registry collects data about diagnostics, treatment and outcome of Adult ALL Patients in the clinical routine, whether or not the patient is treated within a clinical trial.

The primary objective of this study is to assess the feasibility of administering the Personalized Single-Category Implicit Association Test (PSC-IAT) to young adult survivors of childhood cancer. Participants will perform a total of three trials of a cognitive task before and after their scheduled SJLIFE cardiovascular stress testing. Participants will then be asked to participate in a qualitative interview about the cognitive task tool and body sensations and emotions experienced during exercise.

This is a multicenter, observational real world clinical trial with prospective follow up that will evaluate the treatment outcome of adolescent and young patients with ph-negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia with first-line pediatric-like protocol in Argentina.

This study collects blood and tissue samples from patients with cancer and without cancer to evaluate tests for early cancer detection. Collecting and storing samples of blood and tissue from patients with and without cancer to study in the laboratory may help researchers develop tests for the early detection of cancers.
