Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Lymphoid"

This study is intended for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia patients who have already undergone a first or second treatment with drugs named bendamustine and rituximab. It will observe the results of this treatment and evaluate its efficacy and side effects.

This clinical trial is studying biomarkers as a diagnostic tool in samples from younger patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Finding specific biomarkers may help improve the treatment of patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Historically, the best results of allogeneic SCT have been obtained when the stem cell donor is a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched sibling, however, this is only available for approximately 30 percent of patients in need for SCT. Alternative donor sources include matched unrelated donor utilizing the donor registry, cord blood transplant and mismatched donor transplant. A human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-haploidentical donor is one who shares, by common inheritance, exactly one HLA haplotype with the recipient, and includes the biologic parents, biologic children and full or half siblings. There is strong body of evidence supporting the use of haplo-SCT in patient who lack a matched sibling or unrelated donor with high rates of successful engraftment, effective Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) control and favorable outcomes comparative to those seen using other allograft sources, including HLA-matched sibling SCT. Furthermore, it provides a cost-efficient donor option in a timely manner especially for patients who need to proceed quickly to transplant due to concern of disease relapse/progression.

Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common childhood cancer. It occurs when a bone marrow cell develops errors in its DNA. Certain tests are used to help detect the disease. But the results of these tests often disagree. Researchers want to review the results of tests of bone marrow and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from people with ALL. They want to try to find the best ways to detect the disease. Objective: To compare results of certain bone marrow and CSF tests for detecting ALL, in order to see how much and how often the results disagreed. Eligibility: Children and young adults with ALL or lymphoblastic lymphoma who were enrolled in certain previous studies and consented for their data to be used. Design: Investigators will review participants medical records. They will collect data like the participant s gender, age, and when their tests were done. They will also collect results from tests like: Bone marrow tests Flow cytometry tests Imaging CSF cell count All of the stored data will be labeled by a code that only the study team at the research site can link to the participant. Data will be stored in password protected computers. ...

This study seeks to assess the effectiveness and safety of venetoclax in patients with relapsed and refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in a real-world setting across clinical practice in the Russian Federation.

This study includes a registry-based, nationwide analysis to describe the clinical outcome of adult patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) who underwent an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) after a Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKI)-based treatment.

This multi-site study will enroll approximately 100 CLL patients across 5 cancer institutions. The aim of the project is to ensure hematology care teams that are participating in new value-based reimbursement models have an accurate understanding of the evidence and roles of new therapies for CLL and best practice supportive care protocols to proactively assess, monitor, and manage symptoms to promote successful clinical outcomes. Hematology teams at seven health systems across the U.S. will be given online clinical training on the latest evidence for treatment planning in CLL along with best supportive care practices for patients on novel CLL treatments, prior to using Carevive's patient engagement software. Once training is complete, the Carevive software will be employed in the clinic whereby CLL patients will use the Carevive patient portal to report any symptoms at and in between clinic visits. Patients will be given a user name and password to a web-based portal for 24/7 reporting of symptoms experienced. Patient-reported and clinical data will be processed by the Carevive rules engine technology to generate evidence-based supportive care plans providing patients with direction regarding self-management strategies, care coordination for relevant cancer center services, and direction on when to go to the emergency department (ED) or call their hematologist based on their institution's protocol. For patients who require ongoing and routine monitoring, such supportive care recommendations will be included in supportive care plans generated at the clinic visit. On the visits subsequent to the delivery of the care plan, patients will report on the perceived effectiveness of the intervention (or barriers to non-adherence to the intervention). Patients and clinicians will assess symptom severity at each visit for a 16-week period and both data sets will be stored and analyzed for research purposes.

This two-year pilot study will test whether a one-page "Jumpstart Form" will affect goals-of-care discussions in the hospital. This form will be provided to clinicians and will include patient-specific information about preferences for goals-of-care communication and for care, as well as tips to improve this communication. Jumpstart forms will also be provided to patients or, if they are unable to communicate, their surrogates/family members. The information on the form will be obtained from questionnaires. The form is tailored to help patients and surrogates talk with clinicians about goals of care. This study is based on a successful application of Jumpstart Form in the outpatient clinic setting.

The purpose of this study is to describe the demographics and clinical characteristics, treatment pathway, and effectiveness and safety of inotuzumab ozogamicin in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia treated with inotuzumab ozogamicin in the real-world.

The purpose of the study is to determine the utility of XCL1 in the prognosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
