Active clinical trials for "Leukemia"

This clinical trial tests whether a geriatric optimization plan (GO!) works to improve survival in patients over 60 with a hematologic malignancy or bone marrow failure syndrome eligible for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant. GO! focuses on creating a tailored and specific plan for each patient to make changes in their daily lives. These may include changes to their diet, sleep, activity, medicines, or even referrals to other providers depending on the patient's needs. Studying survival and quality of life in patients over 60 receiving an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant may help identify the effects of treatment.

This phase II trial studies how well eltrombopag olamine works in improving the recovery of platelet counts in older patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) undergoing induction (the first treatment given for a disease) chemotherapy. Platelet counts recover more slowly in older patients, leading to risk of complications and the delay of post-remission therapy. Eltrombopag olamine may cause the body to make platelets after chemotherapy.

This randomized phase I trial studies the side effects of vaccine therapy in preventing cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in patients with hematological malignancies undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Vaccines made from a tetanus-CMV peptide or antigen may help the body build an effective immune response and prevent or delay the recurrence of CMV infection in patients undergoing donor stem cell transplant for hematological malignancies.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate treatment-free remission after imatinib discontinuation in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia with deep molecular response. Before discontinuation, patients will receive pioglitazone associated with imatinib during 3 months.

The objective of this research is to measure certain indicators of resiliency to better understand which participants who are over 60 years old will respond more positively to bone marrow transplant. This research is being done to determine if there are traits that make recipients more likely to bounce back following allogeneic bone marrow transplant (BMT).

Evaluation of the efficacy and safety of withdrawal of tyrosine kinase inhibitors after previous two-step dose reduction in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in deep molecular remission

This trial studies how well a nutrition and physical activity intervention works in preventing excess weight gain in pediatric patients with leukemia or lymphoma treated with Treated with prednisone and/or dexamethasone. A nutrition and physical activity intervention may help develop healthier eating habits and prevent rapid excess weight gain in pediatric patients with leukemia or lymphoma who are receiving prednisone and/or dexamethasone.

This phase II trial studies how well multi-peptide CMV-modified vaccinia Ankara (CMV-MVA Triplex) vaccination of stem cell donors works in preventing cytomegalovirus (CMV) viremia in participants with blood cancer undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Giving a vaccine to the donors may boost the recipient's immunity to this virus and reduce the chance of CMV disease after transplant.

This randomized phase III trial studies compliance to a mercaptopurine treatment intervention compared to standard of care in younger patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has had a decrease in or disappearance of signs and symptoms of cancer (remission). Assessing ways to help patients who have acute lymphoblastic leukemia to take their medications as prescribed may help them in taking their medications more consistently and may improve treatment outcomes.

This research study is evaluating the impact of a psychological intervention mobile application (app) on the quality of life, mood, and symptoms of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
