Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute"

Although PARP inhibitors (PARPi) have proved effective in treating many cancers, few patients receiving PARPi may experience rare but life-threatening adverse events such as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and/or acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Today, data about MDS/AML are scarce. The objective was to investigate reports of MDS/AML adverse events related to PARPi, including olaparib, rucaparib, niraparib, talazoparib and veliparib using the World Health Organization (WHO) and the French pharmacovigilance databases.

The aim of this observational study is to describe treatment patterns and effectiveness outcomes in a sample of oncology patients treated for AML with Mylotarg through up to two additional relapsed/refractory (R/R)-based lines of therapy (through third-line therapy). The study will use United States oncology electronic medical record (EMR) data. All study data are secondary data and will have been collected retrospectively from existing clinical data originally collected as part of routine care.

CPX-351 Real World Effectiveness and Safety Study (CREST UK) is a real-world evidence study designed to collect data on the potential benefits and/or risks of Vyxeos liposomal (liposomal daunorubicin/cytarabine; CPX-351) in routine clinical practice in the United Kingdom (UK).

The objective of the study is to describe the current epidemiology, treatment patterns, outcomes and healthcare resource use of adult patients diagnosed with relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell ALL and de novo AML in 4 Latin American countries.

Gilteritinib is available in early access in France through Temporary Authorisation of Use (or ATU program) since March 2019. The ATU program reflects a real-life treatment situation and the related clinical data would help to better understand the benefit/risk profile of gilteritinib and to better document gilteritinib efficacy and safety in patients who received midostaurine in First Line (1L) setting. The main objective is to describe gilteritinib effectiveness in FLT3 (Fms Related Tyrosine Kinase 3) -mutated AML patients in Refractory/Relapsed(R/R) situation treated in the context of early access program to gilteritinib in France through Temporary Authorisation of Use, the so-called ATU program, and the post ATU period from marketing authorisation to launch when reimbursement and price are published.

Conventional cytogenetic studies have been the gold standard for more than five decades for detecting genetic alterations that are greater than 10 Mb (mega base pairs) in size. Conventional cytogenetic studies have paved the way in identifying specific chromosomal aberrations associated with clinically and morphologically definitive subsets of hematological neoplasms. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) has become a reliable and rapid complementary test in targeting critical genetic events associated with diagnostics and prognosis in hematological neoplasms. In the current health care environment, which increasingly focuses on value and efficiency, it is critical for pathologists and clinicians to effectively navigate this environment and judiciously incorporate these high-complexity and expensive techniques into routine patient care. While conventional karyotyping provides a comprehensive view of the genome, FISH can detect cryptic or submicroscopic genetic abnormalities and identify recurrent genetic abnormalities in nondividing cells. As a consequence, it is commonly extrapolated that FISH will improve the sensitivity of detecting all genetic abnormalities compared with conventional karyotyping analysis. This assumption has then been translated in clinical practice to having clinicians and pathologists routinely ordering both conventional karyotyping and FISH studies in patients with hematological neoplasms. Depending on how comprehensive the FISH panel is, the cost for this testing may be quite expensive, and its additive value remains questionable. It is common practice for laboratories to use FISH panels in conjunction with karyotyping both in diagnostic specimens and during follow-up to monitor response to therapy. Multiplex FISH (M-FISH) represents one of the most significant developments in molecular cytogenetics of the past decade. In tumor and leukemia cytogenetics, two groups have been targeted by M-FISH to identify cryptic chromosome rearrangements not detectable by conventional cytogenetic studies: those with an apparently normal karyotype (suspected of harboring small rearrangements not detectable by conventional cytogenetics) and those with a complex aberrant karyotype (which are difficult to karyotype accurately due to the sheer number of aberrations).

RATIONALE: Infection prophylaxis and management may help prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection caused by a stem cell transplant. PURPOSE:This clinical trial studies infection prophylaxis and management in treating cytomegalovirus infection in patients with hematologic malignancies previously treated with donor stem cell transplant.

RATIONALE: Studying bone marrow samples from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This research study is studying biomarkers in samples from young patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

This is a non-therapeutic study. Pediatric AML patients undergoing HCT with a myeloablative preparative regimen may be enrolled. Subjects can be enrolled 10-40 days prior to HCT. Three samples for MRD (measured by WT1 PCR and flow cytometry) will be collected from peripheral blood and bone marrow: 1) pre-HCT (<3 weeks prior to starting the preparative regimen), 2) day 42 +/- 14 days post HCT (early post-engraftment), and 3) day 100 (+/-20 days) post HCT. For two years after transplant, the subject's follow-up data will be collected using the Research Level Forms in the CIBMTR Forms Net internet data entry system. The main objective is to determine whether there is any association between level of pre-transplant and post-transplant bone marrow MRD using WT1 and flow cytometry with 2-year event-free-survival, and to estimate the strength of that association in terms of the predictive accuracy of MRD. The investigators hypothesize that measurable MRD at either time point will be associated with decreased 2-year event-free survival.

Prospective, multicenter, observational, national study (EPA-SP) that aims to describe the survival and the quality of life, the clinical management strategies and the prognostic factors for survival related to the patient, in a prospective cohort of patients over 60 with AML diagnosis in Spain and treated outside of clinical trials; that is, under conditions of standard clinical practice. The study will last 24 months in total from the inclusion of the first patient until the end of the last patient's follow-up
