Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Lymphoid"

Pharmacogenomics (PG) offers the opportunity to individualize treatment according to patient genetic variations which influence activity of enzyme metabolizing or acting in the pathway of prescribed chemotherapy drugs. This add-on research aims to prospectively investigate variations in several candidate genes related to all types of chemotherapeutic drugs and TBI used in the main related study NCT 01949129, THE ALL SCTped FORUM study for their potential role as predictive biomarkers of PK variability and outcome of myeloablative therapy for pediatric patients receiving an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Music therapy has become a standard palliative care service in many pediatric and adult hospitals; however, a majority of music therapy research has focused on the use of music to improve psychosocial dimensions of health, without considering biological dimensions. This study builds on prior work examining the psychosocial mechanisms of action underlying an Active Music Engagement (AME) intervention, designed to help manage emotional distress and improve positive health outcomes in young children with cancer and parents, by examining its effects on biomarkers of stress and immune function. The purposes of this two group, randomized controlled trial are to examine biological mechanisms of effect and dose-response relationships of AME on child/parent stress during the consolidation phase of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) treatment. Specific aims are to: Aim 1. Establish whether AME lowers child and parent cortisol during ALL treatment. Aim 2. Examine cortisol as a mediator of AME effects on child and parent outcomes during ALL treatment. Aim 3 (exploratory). Examine the dose-response relationship of AME on child and parent cortisol during ALL treatment. Findings will provide a more holistic understanding about how active music interventions work to mitigate cancer-related stress and its potential to improve immune function, with direct implications for the evidence-based use of music to improve health.

The emergence of targeted therapy (ibrutinib, venetoclax, acalabrutinib) has revolutionized the management practices of chronic lymphoid leukemia due to their effectiveness. However, targeted therapy induces a significant additional cost compared to treatment with immunochemotherapy and their use can be problematic due to the frequent occurrence of side effects, which can be serious. In order to improve the current management of patients treated with targeted therapy, the aim of this study is to evaluate the ambulatory medical assistance nurse program. Ambulatory medical assistance is based on regular telephone calls to patient's homes by a specialist nurse and consists of the monitoring, detection and early management of possible adverse effects of targeted therapy, in link with the hematologist. The main objective of this clinical research is to determine efficiency of the ambulatory medical assistance nurse program.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the impact of exercise on physical activity levels and quality of life in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) receiving maintenance chemotherapy.

The primary objectives of this study are to determine the safety and efficacy of brexucabtagene autoleucel (KTE-X19) in adult participants with relapsed/refractory (r/r) B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

The purpose of this study is to test the good and bad effects of the study drugs bortezomib and vorinostat when they are given in combination with chemotherapy commonly used to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in infants. For example, adding these drugs could decrease the number of leukemia cells, but it could also cause additional side effects. Bortezomib and vorinostat have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat other cancers in adults, but they have not been approved for treating children with leukemia. With this research, we plan to meet the following goals: PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Determine the tolerability of incorporating bortezomib and vorinostat into an ALL chemotherapy backbone for newly diagnosed infants with ALL. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: Estimate the event-free survival and overall survival of infants with ALL who are treated with bortezomib and vorinostat in combination with an ALL chemotherapy backbone. Measure minimal residual disease (MRD) positivity using both flow cytometry and PCR. Compare end of induction, end of consolidation, and end of reinduction MRD levels to Interfant99 (ClinicalTrials.gov registration ID number NCT00015873) participant outcomes.

This is a Phase 1/2 dose-escalation study of BTCT4465A (Mosunetuzumab) administered as a single agent and in combination with atezolizumab in participants with relapsed or refractory B-cell NHL and CLL. The study will consist of a dose-escalation stage and an expansion stage where participants will be enrolled into indication-specific cohorts.

This phase II trial studies how well blinatumomab works in treating patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia whose disease is in remission (causes no symptoms or signs) but is still present in a small number of cells in the body (minimal residual disease). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as blinatumomab, may induce changes in the body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer diagnosed in children. The cancer comes from a cell in the blood called a lymphocyte. Normal lymphocytes are produced in the bone marrow (along with other blood cells) and help fight infections. In ALL, the cancerous lymphocytes are called lymphoblasts. They do not help fight infection and crowd out the normal blood cells in the bone marrow so that the body cannot make enough normal blood cells. ALL is always fatal if it is not treated. With current treatments, most children and adolescents with this disease will be cured. The standard treatment for ALL involves about 2 years of chemotherapy. The drugs that are used, and the doses of the drugs, are similar but not identical for all children and adolescents with ALL. Some children and adolescents receive stronger treatment, especially during the first several months. A number of factors are used to decide how strong the treatment should be to give the best chance for cure. These factors are called "risk factors". This trial is studying the use of a new, updated set of risk factors to decide how strong the treatment will be. The study also will test a new way of dosing a chemotherapy drug called pegaspargase (which is part of the standard treatment for ALL) based on checking levels of the drug in the blood and adjusting the dose based on the levels.

This phase II trial studies how well inotuzumab ozogamicin works in treating younger patients with B-lymphoblastic lymphoma or CD22 positive B acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Inotuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody, called inotuzumab, linked to a toxic agent called ozogamicin. Inotuzumab attaches to CD22 positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers ozogamicin to kill them.
