Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute"

A multicentre, prospective, open-label clinical study, including a randomized controlled study in low or intermediate-risk group patients, and a cohort study of maintenance treatment with decitabine after ASCT.

To determine the best, clinically useful procedure to prevent or minimize platelet alloimmunization as a cause of refractoriness to platelet transfusion in patients undergoing marrow ablative chemotherapy for acute myelogenous leukemia.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ruxolitinib phosphate when given together with tacrolimus and sirolimus in preventing acute graft-versus-host disease during reduced intensity donor hematopoietic cell transplant in patients with myelofibrosis. Sometimes transplanted cells from a donor can attack the normal tissue of the transplant patient called graft-versus-host disease. Ruxolitinib phosphate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It may also reduce graft-versus-host disease by reducing inflammation and immune modulation. Giving ruxolitinib phosphate together with tacrolimus and sirolimus after transplant may prevent graft-versus-host disease.

This clinical trial studies how well a mobile intervention consisting of a text messaging program and an electronic "smart" pill bottle with medication reminders works to improve adherence to oral anti-cancer medications among patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Medication adherence is how well patients take medications as prescribed by their doctors, and good medical adherence is when patients take medications correctly. Poor medication adherence has been shown to be a barrier to effective treatment. Collecting feedback on patient experiences using the mobile intervention may help doctors design new methods and material for providing educational information to AML patients who are taking oral anti-cancer medications.

This pilot clinical trial studies mechanical stimulation in preventing bone density loss in patients undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Mechanical stimulation may limit, prevent, or reverse bone loss, increase muscle and cardiac performance, and improve overall health

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness in the real-world setting among participants who are treated with Azacitidine in accordance with the China Product Label.

Background: -Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a cancer of the white blood cells. It can be fatal. Standard treatment involves intensive chemotherapy. Not all treatment works. AML that has not responded to treatment (refractory) or that has returned after treatment (relapsed) is high-risk even with treatment. Success of therapy is normally determined after 28 to 56 days. This study will see if a blood test on day 4 of therapy can help identify earlier those who will not respond. Objectives: -To see if a blood test on day 4 of therapy can help identify those who will not respond to treatment for AML. Eligibility: -People ages 18-70 who have refractory or relapsed AML and have had at least one previous therapy for it. Design: Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, and blood tests. Participants will have: Several blood tests. Bone marrow exams: a needle is inserted into the hip to take cells from the bone marrow. Echocardiogram: a small probe is held to the chest to take pictures of the heart. ECG: soft electrodes are stuck to the skin. A machine records the heart s signals. CT scans: they will lie in a machine that takes pictures of the body. Standard chemotherapy. Possible transfusions of blood products such as red blood cells or platelets. Participants will be expected to stay in the study typically for 2 3 months. This will include inpatient treatment. Inpatient stay normally will be 1 or 2 months.

Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are at risk to develop severe infections whose invasive aspergillosis (IA). These infections are leading to an important morbidity and mortality. Antifungal prophylaxis is recommended by posaconazole for AML patients during neutropenia induced by induction chemotherapy. Their application is not uniform.

Treatment for pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) involves intensive chemotherapy regimens that result in periods of profound neutropenia leaving patients susceptible to severe infectious complications. Infectious complications are the leading cause of treatment related mortality among AML patients, but there are little clinical data to inform whether management of neutropenia post AML chemotherapy should occur in an outpatient or inpatient setting. The primary objective of this study is to compare the clinical effectiveness of outpatient versus inpatient management of neutropenia in children with AML.

To detect SRSF2 gene mutation by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the two types of t-MDS/AML which recognized in the WHO classification. Association between SRSF2 gene mutation and the presence of other cytogenetic abnormalities in the two types of t-MDS/AML which recognized in the WHO classification, e.g. (Loss of chromosome 7 or del(7q), del(5q), isochromosome 17q, recurrent balanced chromosomal translocations involving chromosomal segments 11q23 (KMT2A, previously called MLL) or 21q22.1 (RUNX1), and PML-RARA). Relationship between SRSF2 gene mutation and cumulative dose, dose intensity, time of exposure and prognostic criteria (disease free survival, overall survival and disease course).
