Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Lymphoid"

This study is characterizing the pharmacokinetics of vincristine using two different cohorts of patients. The first cohort includes patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that are Bcr-Abl positive. This cohort of patients will receive vincristine along with imatinib in the induction chemotherapy regimen. The second cohort includes patients with ALL that are Bcr-Abl negative. This cohort of patients will receive vincristine without imatinib in the induction chemotherapy regimen. This study involves blood draws beginning on day 7 of the treatment protocol and these samples will be analyzed for pharmacokinetic parameters. Imatinib and vincristine are both metabolized by the hepatic CYP 450 enzyme system. Imatinib is an inhibitor of the system and co-administration of imatinib and vincristine has the potential to increase the blood level of vincristine. This could explain the increased level of neurotoxicity that is currently being seen with the co-administration of these two agents in the treatment of Bcr-Abl positive ALL.

Taking into account the specificities of adolescent and young adult cancer patients led agencies (in particular the French National Cancer Institute INCa, through the last Cancer Plan), to initiate projects targeting this population. Acute leukemia is among the most common cancers in adolescents and young adults. Recent therapeutic advances now allow hope for a cure in about 50% of this population. The issue of post-cancer is therefore of particular importance for young adults with cancer. Our aim is to establish the health determinants in young adult leukemia survivors and to compare the frequency of these effects and their explanatory factors to the data collected in children or adolescent leukemia survivors program (LEA). 90 patients followed up at the Institut Paoli-Calmettes cancer center and Nice University Hospital have been identified and would be included in this study.Collected data will include information on the initial disease and its treatments, physical sequelae (fertility, thyroid function, heart function, visual function, secondary tumors, viral infections, lung function, bone metabolism, iron metabolism, metabolic syndrome, osteonecrosis, alopecia ... ), quality of life, social and occupational integration and relationship with care system.

Assessment of of the biological effects of curcumin on microbiota in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Hepatic veno-occlusive diseases (VOD) during cancer treatment in children are serious toxicities that have occurred with interruptions of chemotherapy and risk of relapse. In addition, these toxicities have a negative impact on the patient's quality of life, serious long-term sequelae and are potentially fatal in children. The risk factors associated with the occurrence of these complications are, to date, unknown, at the exception to the exposition to certain treatments (6-thioguanine, busulfan, actinomycin D, radiotherapy, etc.). To understand the effects of this toxicity and those of susceptibility to the disease becomes a major issue in the treatment of these children.

Retrospective evaluation on the effect of splenic irradiation on clinical and hematological response and toxicity in patients with chronic lymphatic leukaemia (CLL).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ponatinib (Iclusig®) in patients with BCR-ABL positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in standard clinical practice in Europe.

The purpose of this study is to assess safety and effectiveness of extended bendamustine in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

The purpose of this study is to collect a blood sample from patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) and from volunteers without CLL.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the family perspective on follow-up programs after treatment for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. It is relevant when new follow-up programs are to be designed.

This clinical trial is studying body mass index in younger patients receiving prednisone/prednisolone, vincristine, daunorubicin, and pegaspargase for high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about the affect of body mass index on the way anticancer drugs work in the body. It may also help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment
