Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Lymphoid"

To study the genomics with cell cycle and lymphocyte differentiation in disease, remission and relapse of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Then correlate these data with age, white cell count, cytogenetic changes, response to the chemotherapy and prognosis.

The goal of this research is to identify genes that may be related to the risk of developing CLL. Objectives: The objective of this study to investigate possible candidate susceptibility genes for familial chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) by identifying and recruiting high-risk families. Through our ongoing study of familial aggregation in CLL kindreds (protocol 2003-0498 'Genetic Study of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia'), we have identified CLL patients who have one or more living or dead relative(s) affected with CLL or other leukemias or lymphomas. We will also identify patients in high-risk families from referrals from leukemia clinicians and from self-referrals from patients who learn about our study from the ClinicalTrials.gov website. We plan to invite probands (patients diagnosed with CLL) and their family members with other leukemias and lymphomas and a sample of unaffected relatives to participate in a genetic/linkage study. We will obtain demographic and clinical information along with specimens (blood or buccal samples) from all participants. These families will be part of the Genetic Epidemiology of CLL Consortium, a multicenter, multidisciplinary consortium, based at the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center under the direction of Susan Slager, PhD. This is funded from NCI through a subcontract with Mayo Clinic. Genotypic data will be analyzed at Mayo Clinic, and coded, de-identified data will be shared with the NIH Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) data repository.

This is a non-interventional, Phase 4 study designed to improve understanding of current clinical practice in the treatment of CLL/SLL and to describe treatment pattern and evaluate outcomes of ibrutinib-treated CLL patients in China. This study will include both retrospective and prospective data collection.

Philadelphia-chromosome-positive or partial ph-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) preferred chemotherapy combined with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIS) therapy. Recently we found that there were cytomegalovirus reactivation and even cytomegalovirus infection in three ALL patients treated with chemotherapy combined with TKIs. However, the cytomegalovirus risk after dasatinib use in patients with philadelphia-chromosome-positive ALL is still unknown. It is reported that dasatinib can be observed in the treatment of philadelphia-chromosome-positive leukemia patients with significant increase in large granular lymphocytes, the cytomegalovirus is often positive, and this part of the patient's prognosis is relatively good. Dasatinib can inhibit SRC and TEC kinase, and induce immune function inhibition,and in vitro experiments have confirmed that it inhibits the immune function of T cells and NK cells. In this study, we examined the potential association between cytomegalovirus AND EBV reactivation the treatment of chemotherapy combined with TKIs, and the numbers of large granular cells and NK cell activity.

The study will examine the prevalence of venous thromboembolism in children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia treated in accordance with NOPHO ALL-2008. The investigators will prospectively study clinical symptomatic thromboses, asymptomatic central line-associated thromboses, and infections.
