Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Lymphoid"

Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a common and serious side effect of chemotherapy. Current management of FN is expensive and may induce side effects. Honey is a natural substance produced by honeybees. It possesses antioxidant, antimicrobial and anticancer effects. In addition, honey is not expensive. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of 12-week honey consumption on children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) particularly with regards of FN episodes. This randomized crossover clinical trial included 40 patients of both sexes, aged 2.5 to 10 years. They were randomized into two equal groups [intervention to control (I/C) and control to intervention (C/I)]. The dietary intervention was 12-week honey consumption in a dose of 2.5g//kg body weight per dose twice weekly.

The purpose of this study is to describe the effectiveness of ibrutinib and to provide a description of ibrutinib therapy and the first non-ibrutinib subsequent therapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and mantle-cell lymphoma (MCL).

Evaluation of the association between risk and severity of asparaginase associated toxicities and asparaginase enzyme activity levels in children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia treated in the NOPHO-ALL 2008 protocol.

This study is a prospective, non-randomized feasibility study. Freshly isolated tumor cells from patients will be screened using state-of-the-art viability assay designed for ex vivo high-throughput drug sensitivity testing (DST). In addition, genetic information will be obtained from cancer and normal (germline) tissue and correlated with drug response. This study will provide the platform for informing treating physician about individualized treatment options. The main outcome of this study will be the proportions of the patients whose treatment was guided by the personalized medicine approach.

Over the past decades, advances in treatment have led to an increasing number of children who survive cancer, resulting in a growing population of childhood cancer survivors. After end of cancer treatment on common protocols survivors are enrolled in non-harmonized follow-up programs with frequent visits and blood samples. However, the evidence for the value of these follow-up programs with respect to the effect on detecting relapse and the effects on overall survival is scarce. The aim of the study is to give a comprehensive description of the detection mode of relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), including symptoms and blood test results. Further, we aim to evaluate if the mode of detection affects survival.

Prospective multicenter observational non-interventional study to assess routine clinical practice of Bendamustine use in the first line therapy of chronic lymphocytic leukemia

This study is to find out distribution of genetic polymorphisms and genes related to the chemotherapeutic drugs of ALL.

This study will examine the effectiveness of MabThera therapy added to a standard chemotherapy regimen for the treatment of previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Patients who have received a single prior MabThera plus chemotherapy treatment are eligible. The overall response rate of patients treated for approximately 5 months (as per current label guidelines) will be analysed according to various factors (i.e., age, concurrent treatment, and chromosomal abnormalities).

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This research study is studying biomarkers in samples from patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia enrolled on ECOG-2993 clinical trial.

This observational study will assess the therapeutic efficiency, treatment schedules, handling procedures, and the safety profile of rituximab in routine care in participants with CLL.
