Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid"

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a stem cell (SC) neoplasm which originates from an incomplete process of differentiation of the hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) to the adult cells which lead to accumulation of their immature form into the BM and the peripheral blood. It is characterized by the reciprocal translocation. The resulting oncoprotein, BCR/ABL1, is considered essential for the initiation and manifestation of the disease . In CML, leukemic stem cell (LSC) supposedly resides within the CD45+/ CD34+/CD38-/Lin- fraction of the leukemic clone (3). However, normal hematopoietic SC also exhibit this phenotype so that additional markers are required to discriminate CML LSC from normal SC. CD34+/CD38-/Lin- CML LSC specifically co-express dipeptidylpeptidase IV(DPPIV=CD26). This enzyme disrupts LSC-niche interactions by degrading stroma derived factor-1 (SDF-1). Moreover, CD26 is a robust biomarker for the quantification and isolation of CML LSC (4). It was reported that CD26+ LSCs were significantly correlated with BCR-ABL1 transcript level at diagnosis and after three months of treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) .

Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) is a new contributor in the French healthcare system. APN is part of a multidisciplinary team and aim to monitor patients under the coordination of the doctor particularly in onco-hematology. The aim of the study is to describe the different perceptions and expectations of APN monitoring according to patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and their care team. This study will involve 10 patients, recruited over a provisional period of 5 months and 25 member of care team. Patients and their care team will be asked about their perceptions and expectations of APN participation in (AML monitoring) during a semi-structured interviews.

This phase II trial studies how well autologous stem cell transplant works in treating patients with favorable or intermediate risk, minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative, acute myeloid leukemia. Giving chemotherapy before a peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps kill any cancer cells that are in the body. After treatment, stem cells are collected from the patient's blood and stored. Higher dose chemotherapy is then given to prepare the bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy.

Newly diagnosed adults patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia will be assessed as traditionally by the treating institution using classic clinical, demographic and cytogenetic variables. Complementary molecular tests will be performed in the patients included in the study using PCR to detect classic CBF (Core Binding Factor) rearrangements: CBFB-MYH11 [inv(16)(p13;q22), isoforms A, E and D; AML-ETO (RUNX1-RUNX1T1) (t8;21)(q22;q22). NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) to detect mutations in: FLT3-ITD and TKD, NPM1, CEBPA, RUNX1, TP53, ASXL1, IDH1, IDH2 and KIT

This study will explore how malnutrition (poor nutrition/diet) and sarcopenia (a condition that causes a loss of muscle and bone mass) affects study participants over the age of 60 with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who will receive induction chemotherapy (chemotherapy given as the first treatment to help cancer go into remission) and/or cancer drugs as part of standard care for AML. By studying how these nutritional and skeletal factors, doctors leading this study hope to learn how malnutrition and sarcopenia may be able to predict certain outcomes --such as how long study participants with poor nutrition and muscle loss can live after chemotherapy- for older (age 60+) individuals with AML.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether cyclophosphamide post bone marrow transplant increases the rate of patients alive, in remission and without immunosuppression, one year after transplant, when compared with the combination of methotrexate and calcineurin inhibitor

Patients participating in this study will have a diagnosis of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. This study will evaluate whether the addition of an investigational drug called RAD001 given together with Imatinib will better target leukemia stem cells, causing them to die. Stem cells are a small population of cells, existing primarily within the bone marrow, and are believed to be responsible for the ongoing risk of disease relapse.

This study will evaluate a gene expression signature (Growth Factor Signature [GFS]) as a biomarker for response/resistance to BRC-ABL oncogene inhibitors.
