Active clinical trials for "Leukemia"

RATIONALE: Gathering information about older patients with cancer may help the study of cancer in the future. PURPOSE: This research study is gathering information from older patients with cancer into a registry.

This laboratory study is collecting and storing tissue, blood, and bone marrow samples from young patients with cancer. Collecting and storing samples of tissue, blood, and bone marrow from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that may occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

To provide the IRB approved mechanism for the prospective collection, analysis and reporting of data on patients who are undergoing either an autologous or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant for a disease in which a research question is not being addressed and for which peer reviewed, published data have demonstrated efficacy for this treatment approach.

The objective of this study is to acquire more information about what we are doing during pregnancy in CML patients, in order to possibly establish in the future a consensus on the management of patients receiving TKIs who wants to father a child or become/are pregnant.

Blood cancers occur when the molecules that control normal cell growth are damaged. Many of these changes can be detected by directly examining parts of the cancer or cells in blood. Several alterations that occur repeatedly in certain types of blood cancers have already been identified, and these discoveries have led to the development of new drugs that target those alterations. More remain to be discovered. Some of these abnormalities include alterations in genes. Genes are the part of cells that contain the instructions which tell the investigators bodies how to grow and work, and determine physical characteristics such as hair and eye color. Genes are composed of DNA letters that spell out these instructions. Studies of the DNA molecules that make up the genes are called "molecular" analyses. Molecular analyses are ways of reading the DNA letters to identify errors in genes that may contribute to an increased risk of cancer or to the behavior of the cancer cells. Some changes in genes occur only in cancer cells. Others occur in the genes that are passed from parent to child. This research study will examine both kinds of genes. The best way to find these genes is to study large numbers of people. The investigators expect that as many 1000 individuals will enroll in this study. This research study is trying to help doctors and scientists understand why cancer occurs and to develop ways to better treat and prevent it. To participate in this study the participant must have cancer now, had it in the past, or are at risk of developing cancer. The participant will not undergo tests or procedures that are not required as part of their routine clinical care. The investigators will ask the participant to provide an additional sample from tissue that is obtained for their clinical care including blood, bone marrow, or tissue sample. The investigators will also ask for a gentle scrape of the inside of their cheek, mouthwash or a skin sample to obtain their germline DNA

The mandate of this MPN registry is to collect clinical information, including molecular results, from consenting patients with a variety of MPNs at different time points during the course of their disease.

This study is a treatment protocol with blinatumomab for infants under 1 year old who are diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia with a specific unfavorable genetic alteration. The purpose of the study is to improve the outcome of this disease in infants.

300 patients will be randomly distributed into the control group (n=150) and the experimental group(n=150). Patients will receive two cycles of induction chemotherapy. The control group receives standard 3+7 induction regimen containing cytarabine (100mg/m2 d1-7) and daunorubicin (60mg/m2 d1-3). The experimental group receives venetoclax combined with intensive chemotherapy (3+7 induction regimen same as the control group). For each group, patients who fail to achieve CR/CRi after two courses of induction therapy may receive alternative therapy decided by their physicians. After CR/CRi achieved, subjects proceed allo-transplantation or consolidation therapy according to their ELN risks: subjects in favorable risk group should continue with chemotherapy; subjects in poor risk group should go through transplantation; for subjects in intermediate risk group, those with suitable donors can receive transplantation while others can continue with consolidation therapy. Subjects receive 3 courses of intermediate-dose cytarabine (1.5g/m2 q12h d1, 3, 5) for age>55 years or high dose cytarabine (3g/m2 q12h d1, 3, 5) for age≤ 55 years as consolidation therapy with venetoclax in experimental group and without venetoclax in control group. After consolidation, patients will be observed.

ERASE is part of the MyeloMATCH initiative, Young Adult Basket and is a Tier 2 study. The study is comparing the use of Cytarabine to Cytarabine and Venetoclax, Daunorubicin/Cytarabine Liposome and Venetoclax, and Azacitidine and Venetoclax.

This is a prospective single-arm clinical study to evaluate the role of NAC after chemotherapy among patients with AML can promote hematopoietic recovery and does not affect the remission rate of the leukemia.
