Natural History Study of Patients With Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia

Leukemia

RATIONALE: Gathering information about patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia may help doctors learn more about the disease and find better methods of treatment and on-going care. PURPOSE: This natural history study is collecting health information and disease-related information over time from patients with newly diagnosed chronic myelogenous leukemia.

Investigating Intracellular and Plasma Imatinib Levels in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

The purpose of this study is to find out if the level of imatinib in the bloodstream, and the level that leukemia cells will predict how quickly your chronic myeloid leukemia improves with the treatment. 1.1 Primary Objectives To determine if intracellular levels of Imatinib in leukemic blood cells within two weeks of treatment initiation of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase predicts molecular and cytogenetic response at 6 and 12 months post treatment 1.2. Secondary Objectives 1.2.1 To determine if hOCT-1 mRNA levels at diagnosis predict Imatinib intracellular levels within two weeks of treatment initiation. 1.2.2 To determine the correlation between intracellular Imatinib levels at two weeks of treatment initiation with plasma Imatinib levels at two and four weeks after treatment initiation. 1.2.3 To determine if plasma Imatinib levels four weeks after treatment initiation correlate with plasma Imatinib levels 12 months after treatment initiation. 1.2.4 To determine if intracellular levels of Imatinib in leukemic blood cells within two weeks of treatment initiation correlate with intracellular levels of Imatinib in normal leukocytes 12 months after treatment initiation.

Electrophysiological Biomarkers of Chemotherapy-related Cognitive Impairment and Recovery

Myelodysplastic SyndromeEffects of Chemotherapy7 more

Broadly speaking, the goal of this study is to better understand the influence of chemotherapy treatment on the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying human behavior. Extant literature lacks diversity in studied cancer populations and treatment protocols, and provides limited understanding of the cognitive abilities that are impaired by chemotherapy. To overcome these limitations, this study will employ a sophisticated battery of tests on an understudied cancer population. Eligible participants will either be patients diagnosed with hematological malignancy (HM) or demographically matched healthy control patients. After HM diagnosis and treatment protocols have been established, patients will be inducted into the longitudinal study comprised of three visits: 1) after diagnosis but prior to chemotherapy treatment (baseline), 2) after one treatment cycle (one month post-baseline), and 3) after three treatment cycles (three months post-baseline). Patients will undergo a test battery designed to measure specific behavioral and neural mechanisms of attention; tests will either be computer-based cognitive tasks or simulated driving tests that immerse patients into virtual driving scenarios. During each test, EEG will be concurrently measured through non-invasive scalp electrophysiology recordings; EEG recordings will reveal underlying neural mechanisms affected by chemotherapy. Additionally, neuropsychological tests of vision, attention, and memory will be administered, as well as questionnaires to evaluate health, mobility, and life space. Finally, blood samples will be collected to examine levels of circulating inflammation-specific proteins typically present in cancer patients. This study will allow us to better understand the mechanisms through which chemotherapy influences cognitive performance. Results from this study will influence the administration of chemotherapy treatments so that patients can continue to receive the highest medical care while maintaining optimal cognitive abilities and quality of life.

Real-World Disease Management and Outcomes in Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia

Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia

Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) diagnosis is based on the demonstration of a BCR-ABL fusion transcript expressed by the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome by RQ-PCR and/or the demonstration of t(9;22)(q34;q11) by conventional karyotyping or interphase FISH. As per standard practice, response to therapy is monitored using either molecular or cytogenetic tests or both; specifically, patients are monitored by quantitative PCR on peripheral blood, supplemented by bone marrow karyotyping if it was clinically indicated. ABL kinase mutational analysis is carried out when the transcript ratio has increased over two sequential samples or on clinical demand. Testing for T315I mutation is also performed for patients who fail to respond to first line TKI and all patients who acquire TKI resistance over the course of their treatment. Data collection is initiated six months after date of diagnosis; research nurses working to agreed operating procedures and data standards visit each of the 14 hospitals in the region and abstract a core clinical dataset from the patients' medical records. The information collected includes demographic details, baseline blood count data and first line treatment. All details are abstracted onto structured forms and entered onto the web-based system, which integrates Haematological Malignancy Research Network (HMRN) and Haematological Malignancy Diagnostic Service (HMDS) data. An important feature of data acquisition is the emphasis on primary source information; data from radiology reports, blood tests, clinical examination, and clinician summaries are recorded, enabling embedded algorithms in the database system to automatically generate stage and prognostic scores. Further data abstraction from the medical records has been undertaken to capture information on subsequent treatment lines. Information on date and cause of death were obtained from the National Health Service (NHS) Central Register.

Dynamic Changes in the Levels of sCD62L and SPARC in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Patients During Imatinib...

Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

This study aims to monitor the levels of soluble L-selectin (sCD62L) and secreted protein acidic rich in cysteine (SPARC) in chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML) patients at baseline and after three and six months of imatinib therapy and evaluated the effect of imatinib on their levels and correlated their levels to clinical and laboratory parameters.

Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia

The GIMEMA CML Working Party promotes an observational (retrospective and perspective) study of Imatinib-resistant or intolerant CML patients treated with Nilotinib in Italy. Enrollment will include all patients who started Nilotinib between January 2005 and December 2012. Patients will be followed for 4 years since treatment start. After this time, survival data, disease status and treatment will be recorded at 6-months-interval. This study will help the definition of guidelines for a proper management of Nilotinib in any-phase CML patients.

Study of Predictive Immunological Parameters of Molecular Complete Remission in Patients With Chronic...

Chronic Leukemia

The investigators recently identified promiscuous HLA-DR-derived epitopes from the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) called universal cancer peptides (UCP), to study tumor-specific CD4+ T cell responses. The aim of this prospective preliminary study is to evaluate the presence of UCP-specific Th1 responses in patients in complete remission of CML two years after end of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKi) treatments.
