Active clinical trials for "Leukemia"

By observation of the inpatients in shenzhen people's hospital,research the curative effect of the two chemotherapy schemes on AML-High dose of cytarabine and HAM.

Sarcopenic obesity occurs when there is a loss of muscle and gain of fat in the body. With this study, the investigators will explore how nutritional status at the beginning of the treatment can cause changes in your child's body fat compared to muscle in the body. The investigators will also look at how these changes can impact a child's cancer treatment, survival from treatment, and if there is any deterioration in health and nutrition status. The primary objective of this study is to establish the incidence of sarcopenic obesity, measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), among Indian children and adolescents with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

The outcome of young adults (18-60 years) with ALL has been dramatically improved by the use of pediatric-inspired trials. About 60% of these young adult patients will be cured at 5 years. In this context, early evaluation of minimal residual disease (MRD) at complete remission has been shown to be one of the most powerful prognostic factor, but also predictive of the benefit of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Despite this global improvement, about 30% of patients experience a relapse and will be exposed to be refractory to salvage therapy or to early disease escape. In adult ALL, the most important prognostic factors at relapse are : the time from first CR to relapse, the achievement of a second complete remission (CR), and the feasibility of ASCT. Blinatumomab is a bispecific T-cell engager that recruits T-cell on CD19 positive blast cells and induces anti-leukemic cytotoxicity. In a phase 3 trial in relapse/refractory Philadelphia-negative (Ph-) ALL, 43% of patients achieved a CR or CR with partial hematological recovery (CRh), with the majority of responses occurring within the first cycle. In patients with positive MRD (MRD+) BCP-ALL, blinatumomab resulted in complete MRD response in 78% of patients after one cycle. Between 2012 and 2016, blinatumomab was available in France for R/R and MRD+ ALL adult patients through the French Compassionate Use Program. About 92 adult ALL were treated at different stages of the disease in 27 centers.

This study will be a secondary use of data, focusing on patients treated with combination therapy Obi-Clb, R-Clb or R-B, in a non-interventional, open label, national, multicenter setting. Retrospective analysis of data coming from registry database CLLEAR (www.leukemia-cell.org )that capture data on clinical and treatment practices in CLL. Data will be retrospectively analyzed.

Results of actual treatment in ALL are not optimal. New prognostic factors, which may determine clinical & molecular response are required. Hyper-CVAD is an internationally accepted schema for such patients. The objective of this pilot study is to evaluate polymorphisms regarding RFC (reduced folate carrier) and MTHFR enzyme, which may affect the function of these proteins, and therefore the intracellular bioavailability of methotrexate. Also, the expression levels of hENT1 and dCK will be evaluated, since such genes codify for citarabine intracellular transport and activation, respectively. Clinical characteristics will be tabulated and analyzed for responders & non-responders patients. Uni- & multivariate analysis will be done to evaluate factors influencing on response and survival.

The broad goal of this study is to investigate if differences exist (and in which areas and of what magnitude) in QoL and symptoms of patients with CML being treated with first line therapy with dasatinib versus those receiving first line therapy with imatinib. Also, an additional objective is to characterize medication-taking behavior associated with imatinib or dasatinib.

The trial is to determine if a difference exists in the way that adolescents and young adults metabolize the chemotherapy agent vincristine compared to younger children.

A 5 day course of fludarabine and cytarabine (FA) will be administered followed by full intensity conditioning regimen (Bucy) in the setting of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). The purpose of this study is to explore the antileukemic, immunosuppressive effects and safety of FA as the backbone of a conditioning regiment for the treatment of patients with high-risk, recurrent or refractory acute Leukemia and advanced myelodysplastic syndrome.

This registry is set up to collect real-world experience in the management of patients with myeloid neoplasms, in particularly in patients with MDS, CMML or AML, treated with hypomethylating agents in Austria and potentially other participating countries. This registry will collect data in a retrospective as well as in a prospective manner at various sites. The aim is to gain valuable insights on both efficacy and toxicity of these drugs in a routine clinical setting in patients with various comorbidities.

The GIMEMA CML Working Party promotes a multicentric, observational, non company sponsored, prospective study of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) patients treated frontline with dasatinib. Patients will be followed for 5 years. This study will help the definition of guidelines for the treatment of CML patients in early phases. The primary objective of the study is to describe, in the clinical practice, the rate of events leading to permanent discontinuation after 2 years of treatment with dasatinib as frontline therapy in newly diagnosed CML patients.
