Comparison Between Cyclophosphamide and Combination of Methotrexate + Calcineurin Inhibitor for...
Acute Myelogenous LeukemiaAcute Lymphoid Leukemia4 moreThe purpose of this study is to determine whether cyclophosphamide post bone marrow transplant increases the rate of patients alive, in remission and without immunosuppression, one year after transplant, when compared with the combination of methotrexate and calcineurin inhibitor
Growth Factor Signature (GFS) Pilot Study (MK0000-098)(COMPLETED)
Blast Phase Philadelphia Chromosomes Positive (Ph+) Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML)Philadelphia Chromosome Positive (Ph+) Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL)This study will evaluate a gene expression signature (Growth Factor Signature [GFS]) as a biomarker for response/resistance to BRC-ABL oncogene inhibitors.
Biomarker for Infection Risk in CLL and MM
Multiple MyelomaChronic Lymphocytic LeukemiaThe aim of this research study is to use advanced immunology laboratory analysis to identify a more precise blood test that will predict infection risk in patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (CLL/SLL) or Multiple Myeloma (MM).
Retrospective Observational Study on Infective Complications and Outcome of Patients With ALL Treated...
Acute Lymphoblastic LeukemiaInfections3 moreThe goal of this observational study is to learn about infectious complications in patients affected by B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia treated with inotuzumab-ozogamicin (INO). The main question it aims to answer is: • incidence of infectious complications (bacterial, fungal, viral) in patients receiving inotuzumab ozogamicin up to 60 days after the end of treatment
Incidence of Severe COVID-19 Infection in Patients With CLL or B-NHL Who Received Pre-exposure Prophylaxis...
Chronic Lymphocytic LeukemiaIndolent B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma1 moreThis is an observational retrospective and prospective multicenter study aimed at describing the role of the COVID -19 prophylaxis with Tixagevimab and Cilgavimab in CLL or indolent B-NHL patients who received first COVID-19 prophylaxis dose between March 2022 and October 2022.
Determining the Mechanisms of Loss of CAR T Cell Persistence
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia With Failed RemissionAcute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Not Having Achieved Remission6 moreA prospective observational study of pediatric and young adult acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) patients treated with CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CAR-T cells). The study will examine changes in CAR-T persistence over time and causal factors.
Biobehavioral Intervention to Enhance Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recovery
Hodgkin LymphomaNon-Hodgkin Lymphoma5 moreThe goal of this project is to conduct a pilot randomized clinical trial (RCT) to evaluate the feasibility of a brief, behavioral intervention to improve recovery following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Cancer patients who were treated with HSCT will learn behavioral techniques to improve sleep and increase daytime activity with the goal of alleviating insomnia, fatigue, and depression. If the intervention demonstrates evidence of feasibility and acceptability, a future study will test the effects in a larger trial, with the long-term goal of improving the care and quality of life of cancer survivors recovering from HSCT.
Metformin Reduce the Relapse Rate on Patients With B-cell Precursor (Ph+ Negative) Acute Lymphoblastic...
Acute Lymphoblastic LeukemiaMetformin's Antitumor activity were identified from differens diabetic patients trials, mainly associated to its mechanism of action and protein - kinase AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) activation. According to Cancer and Diabetes International Consensus from 2012, diabetes increases the risk for developping cancer and metformin has an protector effect against cancer cells and has an impact on overall survival. Chemotherapy drug resistance induces treatment fail in oncology. Metformin increases AMPK levels, blocks PI3K (phosphatidylinositol 3- kinase)/ AKT /mTOR(mammailian Target of Rapamycin) pathway but few evidence associated with drug resistance gene expression. This is an, experimental one-center study that pretends to stablish the effect of adding metformin 850 mg PO three times a day over the multi-drug resistance gene expression (ABCB1) in de novo Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in one 7-days cycle with prednisone as pre-treatment- and on the induction remission treatment.
Sleep Hygiene and Relaxation Intervention to Improve Sleep and Fatigue for Children Receiving Maintenance...
SleepFatigue1 moreThis pilot randomized controlled trial examined the feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness of an intervention to improve sleep quality and decrease fatigue levels in children with a diagnosis of ALL, during maintenance treatment. Families were randomized to usual care or the intervention. The intervention included a sleep hygiene and relaxation education session with a nurse practitioner, literature for home, two story books, and a follow-up phone call. Self-reported measures were used in addition to actigraphy to measure children's quality and quantity of sleep.
Evaluation of Therapeutic Video Games for Pre-school Children With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia...
Childhood Lymphoblastic LymphomaThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of therapeutic video game.
