Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Lymphoid"

The present study aims at obtaining more in-depth information on how patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia treated with idelalisib and rituximab react to treatment.

This research trial studies the use of clinical practice guidelines by pediatric oncology healthcare providers in order to identify, understand, and overcome barriers to them. The treatments for childhood cancers are intense and result in a high rate of symptoms which require support by healthcare providers. By reviewing patients' medical chart records, meeting in focus groups and in one-on-one interviews, healthcare providers may improve how clinical practice guidelines are used to support children undergoing cancer treatment.

This research study is looking at biomarkers in DNA samples from patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia or acute myeloid leukemia. Studying samples of DNA from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer.

This laboratory study is looking at response or resistance to chemotherapy in young patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia treated with methotrexate. Studying samples of tumor tissue in the laboratory from patients with cancer may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and drug resistance in patients.

300 patients, starting a new pharmacological treatment for B-CLL, were enrolled by 36 Italian Centres for assessing the Quality of Life (QoL). A descriptive analysis of QoL and the correlation of the age, sex, stage of disease, Time from first B-CLL diagnosis, Number of previous B-CLL treatments, reason of starting of the new B-CLL treatment: therapeutic Regimen, type of Centre, B-CLL treatment lasting, response to B-CLL treatment.

Primary Objective: To estimate the incidence of treatment-emergent and treatment-related adverse events during treatment with blinatumomab in pediatric and adolescent subjects with B-precursor ALL in second or later bone marrow relapse, in any marrow relapse after alloHSCT, or refractory to other treatments Secondary Objective(s): To describe key efficacy outcomes, including incidence of complete response (CR) within 2 cycles of blinatumomab, minimal residual disease (MRD) remission within 2 cycles of blinatumomab, relapse free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS), incidence of alloHSCT, and 100-day mortality after alloHSCT. Hypotheses: A formal statistical hypothesis will not be tested. The incidence of treatment-emergent and treatment-related adverse events will be estimated. Study Endpoints: Incidence of treatment-emergent and treatment-related adverse events Incidence of CR within 2 cycles of blinatumomab MRD remission within 2 cycles of blinatumomab RFS OS Incidence of alloHSCT 100-day mortality after alloHSCT Study Design: Multi-center, open-label, single-arm expanded access protocol

This protocol will allow expanded access of ponatinib to patients ≥18 years with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) any phase or Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ALL) who have failed all available treatment options.

Familial aggregation is well recognized in some cancers. Though a number of familial cancer predisposition syndromes have been described, the nature of inherited genetic alterations in patients with a strong history of familial cancer is currently unknown, as is the case with childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The investigators are seeking to learn more about what causes leukemia and why some people and families may be at a higher risk of developing this disease. By understanding the origin of the disease, better treatments may be identified for patients with leukemia. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: To identify variants in genes that are inherited, have altered gene structure and/or function, and influence the risk of developing acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and other cancers. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: To collect demographic, clinical and laboratory information including detailed family cancer history and response of cancers to therapy for correlation with the primary objective.

A multicenter, prospective cohort study of the mutation status of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) who are being treated with first or subsequent tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy in the UK, Ireland, or France.

Magnetic nanoparticles coated with anti-EpCAM or anti-CD52 antibodies will be tested ex-vivo in patients blood .
