Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid"

This phase II/III trial studies how well daunorubicin and cytarabine with or without uproleselan works in treating older adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia receiving intensive induction chemotherapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as daunorubicin and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Uproleselan may prevent cancer from returning or getting worse. Giving daunorubicin and cytarabine with uproleselan may work better in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia compared to daunorubicin and cytarabine alone.

Neutropenia after induction or consolidation therapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients is associated with a high morbi-mortality rates, especially due to infectious complications. These are managed according to international recommandations (ECIL and IDSA) with antibiotherapy and antifungal strategy. Although the patients suffer of digestive symptoms, intestinale complications are really less explored. Neutropenic enterocolitis (NE), cytomegalovirus (CMV) colitis, Clostridium difficile colitis, specific lesion, ischemic colitis are not well-known. No prospective study evaluate NE and these digestive complications which have high morbi-mortality rates.

Observational study aimed at evaluating the incidence of familial AML/MDSs in patients with de novo MDSs or AML with almost one relative affected by hematologic neoplasms and/or other cancers at young age (< 40 years)

This cross-sectional prevalence assessment study involves a single blood draw in specific patient populations to assess for enzymatic and genomic evidence for acquired pyruvate kinase deficiency.

A retrospective study using a new technology will be performed: the Optical Genome Mapping (OGM) on acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) samples stored at the CRB-Cancer of the Bordeaux University Hospital and annotated in the DATAML clinical database. The main objective is to estimate the proportion of AML patients for whom OGM detects at least one additional abnormality compared to conventional techniques. This study will constitute an important step in the validation of COA as a reference technique for cytogenetic analysis in AML, replacing the classical techniques, and could also constitute a first argument for redesigning the prognostic classification of AML.

This study collects blood and tissue samples from patients with cancer and without cancer to evaluate tests for early cancer detection. Collecting and storing samples of blood and tissue from patients with and without cancer to study in the laboratory may help researchers develop tests for the early detection of cancers.

This phase II trial studies fluorothymidine F 18 (FLT) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in measuring response in patients with previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia. FLT is a radioactive substance that may "light up" where cancer is in the body. FLT is injected into the blood and builds up in cells that are dividing, including cancer cells. Diagnostic procedures, such as PET/CT, may help measure a patient's response to earlier treatment.

This pilot phase I trial studies how well positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), fludeoxyglucose F-18 (18F-FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT), and whole body MRI work in finding extramedullary myeloid leukemia in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia. Extramedullary myeloid leukemia is a type of cancer found outside of the bone marrow and can be hard to detect with routine bone marrow monitoring, such as bone marrow aspirations. Diagnostic procedures, such as PET/MRI, 18F-FDG PET/CT and whole body MRI, may help find and diagnose extramedullary myeloid leukemia in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia.

Purpose: The purpose of this trial is to investigate whether a digital array assay can detect trace amounts of residual leukemia and predict relapse in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients in remission who have undergone allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) at the North Carolina Cancer Hospital (NCCH). Participants: Adult patients (18 years of age or older) with diagnosed AML who are going to undergo stem cell transplant (SCT). Procedures (methods): A total of 10 eligible subjects will be treated per standard of care with SCT. Peripheral blood and bone marrow aspirate (10 mL each) for digital array assay analysis will be collected along with routine lab draws and bone marrow biopsy procedures prior to SCT. Beginning 1 month after SCT peripheral blood (10 ml) will be collected to assess MRD by digital array assay analysis on a monthly basis for up to 6 months. In addition, bone marrow aspirate will be collected at approximately Month 3 and 6 following SCT for assay analysis. Patient medical records will be reviewed 6 and 12 months after completing their last MRD follow up assessment to confirm survival status, remission status, and gather information related to relapse.

In this study, we aim to investigate the expression of CKLF like MARVEL transmembrane domain containing 6 (CMTM6) in leukemia cells of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We will use peripheral blood samples and assess CMTM6 expression by flow cytometry and Western Blot.
