Effect of Vitamin D Diffiency on Oral Mucosa in Patients Recieving Methotrexate Chemotherapy
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemiait's a prospective study aiming to improve quality of life of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia suffering from oral mucositis, receiving courses of methotrexate chemotherapy , by measuring vitamin D in those patients before induction therapy and the change in its level during treatment, that associated with methotrexate-induced oral mucositis, taking in consideration serum level of methotrexate, so we may have assiotiation between vitamin D difficiency and oral mucositis . at the end we can have preventive interventions to protect against this harmful side effect.
Treatment of Philadelphia-Positive Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (Ph+ ALL) in the Elderly With Imatinib...
Acute Lymphocytic LeukemiaALL patients aged 55 years or older were treated with steroids during one week and Ph+ve cases were then offered a specific therapy including an induction treatment with steroids, cyclophosphamide, daunorubicin and vincristine, followed, irrespective of response to induction chemotherapy, by imatinib, 600 mg daily, combined with intermittent steroids during 2 months. Patients in complete response (CR) were then given 10 blocks of alternating chemotherapy, including 2 additional two-month blocks of imatinib, for a total treatment duration of 2 years. Therapy of occult central nervous system leukemia included 5 intrathecal injections of methotrexate and cranial irradiation. Duration of therapy : 2 years.
Comparing CGM and OGTT in Relation to Iron Overload Detected by Pancreas T2* MRI in High-Risk Hematology...
Iron OverloadHemoglobinopathies2 moreA prospective, observational, comparative study with no intervention.The objective of the study to compare the efficiency of detecting glycemic abnormalities using Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGMs) versus Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) and HbA1C (Glycated Hemoglobin) and their relation to iron overload detected by T2* MRI of the pancreas in high-risk patients due to insulin deficiency (potential beta cell injury) and those with insulin resistance and to study the different factors that may affect the glycemic control in these patients in relation to their results like the Dose of corticosteroids and chemotherapy in ALL and Hemoglobinopathies, Liver function in ALL and Hemoglobinopathies, and Serum ferritin in Hemoglobinopathies and their transfusion status. Using Validated Tools with Permission, the participants will be selected through probability (random) sampling method with expected subjects numbers ALL/L: 30-50, Thalassemia Major: 20, Sickle cell disease: 20.
A Time-Limited Approach to Treatment With Ibrutinib for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Small Lymphocytic...
CLLSLL3 moreThe purpose of this study is to find out whether people with CLL or SLL who are currently receiving treatment with ibrutinib can stop treatment and remain off-treatment for at least 12 months, if they have achieved complete or partial remission of their disease.
Clonal Evolution of B Cells in High-risk CLL After Idelalisib-rituximab
Chronic Lymphocytic LeukemiaThe purpose of the study is to assess the evolution of B cells at a genetic and surface-marker level in high-risk CLL after idelalisib-rituximab treatment. The targeted population includes 20 subjects ages 18 or older diagnosed with high-risk CLL. This will include patients with relapsed or refractory disease who require therapy with idelalisib and rituximab as per FDA label. This is an observational study for peripheral blood samples of these patients collected at pre-determined time points.
Cardiometabolic Status in Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Acute Lymphoblastic LeukemiaThis is a prospective cohort study assessing measures of cardiometabolic status, body composition, IR and GH response to stimulation after therapy in children (age 7-21 years) treated for ALL. Patients and sibling controls will be recruited from the Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Clinic at the University of Minnesota Amplatz Children's Hospital.
