Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid"

CML requires ongoing treatment and assessment of treatment milestones in order to manage the disease properly. Dasatinib is approved for the treatment of newly diagnosed PH+ CP-CML and CML in chronic or accelerated phase or blast crisis in patients resistant or intolerant to prior therapies including Imatinib. Although Imatinib has demonstrated unprecedented efficacy in clinical trials, mostly in chronic phase CML, there is lack of published data on how CML is managed in real-life clinical practice settings. Therefore this non-interventional study is designed to collect real-life data on CML-treatment with Dasatinib in clinical routine with respect to first and second line treatment and/or switch setting (within 1st line or from 1st line TKI to 2nd line Dasatinib). Emphasis lies on health care provided in registered doctor's practices as here most of CML patients who are not involved in clinical trials are treated.

RATIONALE: Studying samples of bone marrow from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This research study is looking at biomarkers in bone marrow samples from young patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

RATIONALE: Infection prophylaxis and management may help prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection caused by a stem cell transplant. PURPOSE:This clinical trial studies infection prophylaxis and management in treating cytomegalovirus infection in patients with hematologic malignancies previously treated with donor stem cell transplant.

RATIONALE: Studying bone marrow samples from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This research study is studying biomarkers in samples from young patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

This is a non-therapeutic study. Pediatric AML patients undergoing HCT with a myeloablative preparative regimen may be enrolled. Subjects can be enrolled 10-40 days prior to HCT. Three samples for MRD (measured by WT1 PCR and flow cytometry) will be collected from peripheral blood and bone marrow: 1) pre-HCT (<3 weeks prior to starting the preparative regimen), 2) day 42 +/- 14 days post HCT (early post-engraftment), and 3) day 100 (+/-20 days) post HCT. For two years after transplant, the subject's follow-up data will be collected using the Research Level Forms in the CIBMTR Forms Net internet data entry system. The main objective is to determine whether there is any association between level of pre-transplant and post-transplant bone marrow MRD using WT1 and flow cytometry with 2-year event-free-survival, and to estimate the strength of that association in terms of the predictive accuracy of MRD. The investigators hypothesize that measurable MRD at either time point will be associated with decreased 2-year event-free survival.

Prospective, multicenter, observational, national study (EPA-SP) that aims to describe the survival and the quality of life, the clinical management strategies and the prognostic factors for survival related to the patient, in a prospective cohort of patients over 60 with AML diagnosis in Spain and treated outside of clinical trials; that is, under conditions of standard clinical practice. The study will last 24 months in total from the inclusion of the first patient until the end of the last patient's follow-up

Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a haematological malignant disease characterized by an uncontrolled proliferation of immature hematopoietic cells. Over the last two decades, clinical trials have demonstrated an improved response rate in younger adult AML. Aggressive induction plus more potent intensification programs with chemotherapy alone or chemotherapy plus stem cell transplantation (SCT) has improved treatment results. Advances in understanding disease biology, improvements in induction and consolidation program, and better supportive care have also all contributed. A number of clinical and laboratory characteristics influence the response to treatment and, thus, the survival of patients with AML. Among them, cytogenetic at diagnosis represents the most important prognostic variable. However, other factors may have a prognostic value and may influence patient's outcome. Anaemia and thrombocytopenia are cardinal manifestations of AML. Over the last decades, it has become apparent that the frequency of allogeneic blood transfusions can modify host immunity and clinical outcomes. Anaemia has long been recognized as an adverse prognostic factor in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), which represents a pre-leukemic disease. Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion need was identified as a strong and independent risk factor for survival in MDS, for which the presence and severity of anaemia were attributed to a clonally advanced and biologically more aggressive disease. Based on these data, the investigators retrospectively assessed the prognostic value of RBC and platelet transfusions at the time of diagnosis and the frequency of transfusions during the first induction course of chemotherapy in a large unselected group of patients with previously untreated AML.

To analyze the occurrence of transformation from myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) to acute myeloid leukemia (hereinafter referred to as transformation from MDS to AML) in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome with a deletion 5q cytogenetic abnormality (hereinafter referred to as del(5q)MDS) who received Revlimid® 5 mg Capsules (hereinafter referred to as Revlimid) and who are continuing or no longer continuing Revlimid treatment. Planned registration period This period started on the date of initial marketing of Revlimid and will end on the day when the appropriateness of enrollment is assessed for all del(5qMDS) patients in the all-case surveillance. Planned surveillance period This period started on the date of initial marketing of Revlimid and will end 3 years after the last enrolled patient begins receiving Revlimid.

This study assessed the efficacy and safety of generic imatinib in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in Jordan. It was a multicenter, non-interventional, open-label, prospective study combined with retrospective data collection from files of patients with a diagnosis of Ph+ CML, treated with Cemivil (imatinib), where no visits or intervention(s) additional to the daily practice were performed

NGS studies will be done in stem cell leukemic population. The analysis of the samples to the diagnosis will be carried out using the 26 consensus genes: ASXL1 had, CBL, CEBPA, DNMT3A, EZH2, FLT3, GATA2, IDH1, IDH2, JAK2, KIT, KRAS, MPL, MLL, NPM1, NRAS, PTPN11, RUNX1, SETBP1, SF3B1, SRSF2, TET2, TP53, U2AF1, WT1. Regarding the 26 genes panel, it would have the advantage that the quantification of DNA from each sample will be carried out by fluorimetry using the AmpliSeq or TruSeq on Ion platforms torrent Proton or MySeq are handled in different laboratories. Using NGS techniques the investigator will detect the recurrently mutated genes in AML to establish the biological role of each mutation. The molecular characterization of the 700 samples which are estimated to pick up during the project will consist of massive sequencing of genes recurrently mutated in AML (ASXL1, had, CBL, CEBPA, DNMT3A, EZH2, FLT3, GATA2, IDH1, IDH2, JAK2, KIT, KRAS, MPL, MLL, NPM1, NRAS, PTPN11, RUNX1, SETBP1, SF3B1, SRSF2, TET2, TP53, U2AF1, WT1). Found mutations will be collated in the different databases of somatic variations to establish which of them could be classified as a driver or passenger.
