Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Lymphoid"

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer of childhood and long-term survival has risen to above 90%, but 1-4% of treated patients die from infections. Early detection and treatment of infection can improve these outcomes by preventing increased severity and death. This study aims to determine whether continuous analysis of information from wearable devices (Like a watch and sticky patch) that measure temperature, pulse rate, oxygen level, and other similar information can predict infection before it is apparent to the patient or caregiver. About 65 patients will be enrolled and will wear these devices for 10 days; during that time the information will be recorded, but not available. After completion, information collected immediately before infection will be compared to other times to identify features that predict infections.

The study aims to evaluate incidence of invasive antifungal infections among patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia Ph negative during the first weeks of treatment

Introduction: Oral mucositis is one of the most frequent complications associated with chemotherapy, occurring in up to 90% children receiving treatment for cancer. Different treatment modalities have been suggested with inconsistent results. Recently, it has been suggested that the use of laser could reduce the grade of oral mucositis and alleviate the symptoms. Aim: To evaluate and compare the efficacy between the high (Infrared) wavelength laser and low (red) wavelength laser in management of chemotherapy induced oral mucositis in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Methods: This study is a randomized, prospective, double-blind trial that will include acute lymphoblastic leukemia inpatients receiving induction chemotherapy between the age of 3 and 14years who develop oral mucositis grade 2 or more. These patients will be randomized by the Clinical Epidemiology unit using a computer-based method into three groups. Group I: will be treated with Laser wavelength 660 nm, group II: will be treated with laser wavelength 970 nm, and group III: will receive mock treatment which is the exact repetition of the treatment modality but without any laser emission. All the patients will follow the hospital standard management for oral mucositis. All patients will be assessed for pain score using CHIMES, oral mucositis using NCI-CTCAE scale V5 on days, 0,4,7 and 11. As well as measuring the duration of the lesion.

Aging is the greatest risk factor for cancer incidence and mortality. Geriatric screening is recommended to help with treatment discussions, inform intensity of treatment, and identify supportive care needs. Despite a strong evidence base, geriatric assessments are not implemented routinely in oncologic clinics. Similarly, important information on social determinants of health, mental health, and health behaviors are inconsistently assessed, and almost never in an integrated fashion. In an effort to support clinicians delivering the recommended goal-concordant care, the investigators will integrate assessment of geriatric issues, health behaviors, mental health, and social determinants of health into an efficient, actionable contextual assessment system for older cancer patients called Integrated Aging Assessment for Action for Cancer Patients (IA3-CP). The investigators will use D&I strategies including co-creation engagement approaches and form-function methods to develop workflow processes that feasibly integrate the IA3-CP into usual initial assessment with the oncology team. Our objective is to develop and conduct a randomized pilot of the IA3-CP system and hypothesize that our results will show it can be implemented consistently, acted on, improve quality of care, and enhance patient-provider interactions.

This study is open-label, multi-center, prospective study, which targets childhood patients with recurred acute lymphostatic leukemia including recurrence around marrow. This study is designed to administer Idarubicin for Reinduction stage. Patients with recurrence are sorted into groups with their potential risk, and depending on their recurrence point, time, reaction to treatment etc, they are sorted into low-risk group, high-risk group, and highest-risk group. Patients with high-risk group are going to be given blinatumomab at consolidation stage before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Patients with low-risk group who are not suitable for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are going to be maintaining maintenance therapy for 2 years for chemotherapy.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of entospletinib in combination with vincristine (VCR), and dexamethasone (DEX) in adults with previously treated relapsed or refractory B-cell lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This is a dose escalation study in which after 2 induction cycles participants may be put on maintenance for up to 36 cycles if they have obtained clinical benefit from the treatment.

The prospective cost-effectiveness (cost-utility) analysis from the perspective of the Canadian public healthcare system was completed in 2021. Health state utilities were collected using the EuroQOL EQ-5D instrument with Canadian tarrifs applied to calculate quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs). Costs were applied to resource utilization data (expressed in 20196 US dollars). We examined costs and outcomes (QALYs) associated with ibrutinib with rituximab (IR) and BR therapy.

This is an open-label Phase 1b/2 study in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL)or non hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) who have failed prior standard of care therapies including a BTK inhibitor where one is approved for the indication.

This single-arm, multicenter Phase 2 trial will treat adult patients who have relapsed or refractory B-ALL with an infusion of the patient's own T cells that have been genetically modified to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) that will bind to leukemia cells that express the CD19 protein on the cell surface. The study will determine if these modified T cells (called JCAR015) help the body's immune system eliminate leukemia cells. The trial will also study the safety of treatment with JCAR015, how long JCAR015 cells stay in the patient's body, the extent to which JCAR015 eliminates minimal residual disease, and the impact of this treatment on survival.

This is a phase II study designed to investigate the combination of bortezomib with the mitoxantrone reinduction regimen used in the ALL R3 trial. The study will enroll patients with high risk ALL relapse including early bone marrow relapse and second or greater relapse of any kind. Patients with relapsed LL will also be eligible. Bone marrow evaluation will be performed after blood counts recover to assess the rate of CR (<5% bone marrow blasts) and MRD status in children following this regimen. Further treatment with or without HSCT will be at the discretion of the primary physician.
