National Observatory of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Adolescent and Young Adults Treated With Tyrosine...

LeukemiaMyelogenous2 more

The median age of onset of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in chronic phase PC is about 60 years. However CML affects all age groups including 18-25 year olds, called adult-young adolescents (AJA). In France, there is no record of CML and especially not for this particular population, only a European Register of CML in children up to 18 years has been set up under the coordination of Professor "Frederic Millot", pediatrics, CHU Poitiers. Malignancies diagnosed in this population usually have characteristics, evolution, therapeutic strategies with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are a real therapeutic revolution with an overall survival very significantly augmented but at present only a minority of patients may one day consider a final judgment of treatment. AJA are the most exposed patients to the complications, the socio-economic repercussions, professional and personal of a very long-term treatment. But there is little data in the literature concerning this population. Two studies show that diagnosis of CML presents with poor prognostic factors (high skoal), the observed responses are poorer compared to older patients but it is accompanied difference in survival in all cases with a decline of about 70 mois. However, these studies have focused solely on the patients included in the study receiving optimized treatment is not the standard treatment at the time. It is clearly demonstrated that the inclusion in a study brings a benefit to the patient. However, the majority of AJA are not included in a study. The investigators therefore want to describe the AYA population of CML in France and compare the evolution of patients included or not in a protocol. The investigators also want to investigate specific issues of the age of these patients as the reproductive desire. Indeed, while it does not seem to be any risk of teratogenicity for men treated with ITK, this risk is clearly established for women and requires specific supported. Another important point is that of the quality of life. The state of physical and mental health and his feelings, physical activity and its limitations and well-being was assessed by the SF-3612 questionnaire. The results of this analysis were compared with those already obtained for the general population (not representative of Italian adults with cancer sample) and adjusted for sex, age, geographic region, marital status and education level . There seems to be young people and women who express a feeling more pejorative. This does not only covers the frequency of side effects but also on physical activity and well-being. the affected population will be noted that that is particularly involved in the social, professional and in the development of his personal life. The impact of treatment on quality of life must be considered under penalty of seeing the difficulties of compliance. But several studies have demonstrated the negative impact of poor adherence in response to treatments .

Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors and Low Intensity Chemotherapy in Ph+ ALL

Lymphoblastic LeukemiaAcute

The use of imatinib in combination with chemotherapy is now considered as the gold standard for the treatment of Ph+ ALL. The complete remission (CR) rate is 90% versus 20% to 40% with chemotherapy alone. The combination of imatinib, vincristine and dexamethasone is a well tolerated regimen in aged patients and is also associated with a high CR rate of 80% to 90% in patient aged 55 years and over. 2. Dasatinib is indicated as first line therapy in Ph+ ALL. Results from the EWALLPH-01 are supporting the use of dasatinib in combination with low-intensity chemotherapy. A new EWALL-PH-02 study combining nilotinib in combination with low-intensity chemotherapy is currently initiated within the EWALL centers. 3. The EWALL-PH-01 trial is now closed after the recruitment of 71 patients. The activation of the EWALL-PH-02 trial is expected for Q1 2012. Based on the recruitment of the EWALL-PH-01 study it could be anticipated that 50 to 100 patients aged more than 55 years will be diagnosed during this 6 months period of time. In addition, all the EWALL centers are not participating to the EWALL-PH-02 study and thus these centers could be offered to treat patient following the EWALL backbone in addition to imatinib. 4. A minimum data set will be defined in order to collect the data of the patients treated following the EWALL-PH imatinib study. The main recommendation is to follow as close as possible the procedures of the EWALL-PH-01 trial (mutation analysis, MRD follow-up) in order to have a comparable data set. This imatinib treated cohort of patients would be of particular importance in order to better define the potential benefit of using one TKI compared to one other. From the end of the EWALL-PH-01 study recruitment to the initiation of the EWALL-PH-02 study, patients were treated following the common backbone schedule in combination with imatinib or others TKI. Patients not included in clinical trials for other reasons were also offered a treatment with the combination of TKIs and backbone low-intensity chemotherapy. The goal of this observatory retrospective and prospective is to describe the efficacy and the tolerance of the combination of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in combination with low intensity chemotherapy (EWALL backbone) in patients with Ph+ ALL aged 55 years and over.

Registration of Children With CML and Treatment With Imatinib

Myeloid LeukemiaChronic

Newly diagnosed pediatric patients (age < 19 years) with bcr-abl-positive CML will be treated with imatinib. Serial monitoring of treatment response is performed in one month intervals during the first three months of treatment and in three months intervals thereafter. Patients with non-response, poor response (either molecular, cytogenetic, or hematologic non-/poor response) or progress of the disease while under imatinib treatment will stop imatinib and undergo stem cell transplantation. All responders to imatinib treatment with an HLA matched donor will undergo stem cell transplantation not later than 2 years after diagnosis.

Functional Pharmacogenomics of Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Taiwan

LeukemiaLymphocytic1 more

Emerging results suggest that a cure rate of nearly 90 percent will be attained in the near future. The advance was attributed to stringent application of prognostic factors for risk factor-directed therapy. Early response to treatment has greater prognostic strength than does any other biologic or clinical feature tested to dates. The measurement of minimal residual disease(MRD) affords a level of sensitivity and specificity that cannot be attained through traditional microscopic morphologic assessments. In Taiwan, detection for the most recurrent fusion genes and the MRD were not commonly available, the TPOG(Taiwan Pediatric Oncology Group) used clinical features, immunophenotypes, and cytogenetics to do risk group classifications and protocol assignment. A successful rate of 60-70% has been reached. In order to improve the cure rate of ALL in Taiwan, this project aims at establishing the methods for better risk classifications and establishing MRD detection for risk-directed therapy for childhood ALL in Taiwan.Intrinsic and acquired resistances to multiple anticancer agents represent major obstacles and accounts for 10-20% of treatment failure in the developed countries nowadays. Recent progress using DNA microarray identified differential expression level of the genes known to implicate in cell cycle control, DNA repair and apoptosis in different subsets of ALL patients, which were found to be related to drug response. Genetic polymorphisms in the genes of drug-metabolizing enzymes, drug transporters or drug targets, can influence the efficacy or toxicity of antileukemic agents. Specific genotype might be important in determining the pharmacokinetic effects of one population or disease subtype from that in others. Recently, the expression profiles of relatively few microRNAs (miRNAs) (~200 genes), was noted to accurately classify human cancers. These informations hinted that expression of the genes in the leukemic cells might serve as additional risk factors for treatment stratification. Specific aims and goals: to establish better risk factors classification and use MRD to monitor early response to treatment. to establish the expression profiles of 12 genes associated with drug resistance to unravel the pharmacogenetic background of pediatric ALL in Taiwan, so that will help refine the therapy dose, achieve a better drug effect and avoid acute or chronic toxicity. microRNA expression profiles in childhood ALL in Taiwan
