Active clinical trials for "Leukemia, Myeloid"

The purpose of this study is to measure, in pilot/observational study, panels of circulating proteins in real time at the onset of neutropenic fever/infection in patients with acute or chronic leukemias undergoing chemotherapy or other biologic treatment. And to generate preliminary trend results in panels of circulating proteins longitudinally during the period of neutropenia and to correlate those values to clinical/laboratory data and patient outcomes.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate treatment patterns and associated outcomes for CP-CML patients who fail Imatinib 400 mg daily in a real-world setting.

This study will evaluate the safety of nilotinib in adult patients with imatinib-resistant or -intolerant CML-blast crisis, CML-accelerated phase or CML-chronic phase when treated with nilotinib. Patients will be provided access to nilotinib until the drug is available on the market.

The aim of the study is to assesse the levels of various biomarkers, specifically interleukin (IL)-6, platelet-derived microparticles (PDMPs), 11, 12 soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (sVCAM-1), transforming growth factor (TGF) β1, and sCTLA-4, in TKI-treated patients with CML. To measure the fluctuations in the levels of sCTLA-4, TGFβ1, and PDMPs, and to clarify the clinical significance of these biomarkers during TKI therapy in patients with CML..

To expresse TIGIT in NK Cells in Patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

We will focus on the prognostic value of CD318 in acute myeloid leukemia patients at Assiut University Hospital

Objectives: The objective of this study is to measure and delineate the symptom burden experienced by patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The Primary Aim is to develop and validate an M. D. Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI) module (the MDASI-CML), compliant with FDA standards for patient-reported outcomes (PROs), to measure the severity of multiple symptoms and the impact of these symptoms on daily functioning in patients with CML. The Secondary Aims are: to develop a detailed description of the severity and interference with daily activities of symptoms experienced by patients with CML; to assess the impact of symptom severity in CML on standard functioning and quality of life (QOL) measures including Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status and single-item QOL scale; to evaluate the MDASI-CML as an estimate of functional status and QOL in patients with CML; to identify common clusters of symptoms and symptom patterns occurring over multiple measurement time points in patients with CML; 5, to define the qualitative symptom burden of patients with CML; 6. to explore the feasibility of the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system in measuring symptom severity and interference with daily activities over time in patients with CML.

The most reliable prognostic marker of acute myeloid leukemia(AML) is cytogenetics by karyotyping. According to cytogenetic results, the patients with AML are classified as better, intermediate and poor prognosis groups. The normal karyotype AML was reported in about 50% of all AML and classified as intermediate risk group. However, the patients with normal karyotype AML showed various prognosis. Therefore, the further studies about subgroup analysis of normal karyotype AML are needed. Recently, the understandings of human genome polypmorphism using SNP array have been accumulated. However, the advanced researches for clinical application are not enough. The study design is a retrospective and single-center study. The patients with normal karyotyping AML who were diagnosed from 1994 to 2008 at Samsung Medical Center (South Korea) will be enrolled. The stored bone marrow samples of enrolled patients are used for genome wide scanning by SNP array. The purpose of present study is to develop predictive pharmacogenemic biomarkers model associated wit clinical outcomes including efficacy and toxicity in patients with AML with normal karyotype treated with chemotherapy using pharmacogenetic SNP array. And secondly, to develop enrichment clinical trial based on predictive pharmacogenomic model.

The purpose of this study is to elucidate the role of RUNX1 in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), in particular, the transcriptional regulation of genes by mutated forms of this protein. This research will study the effect of mutations found in AML patients

Primary objective : To identify epigenetic dysregulations of in vivo TKI-resisting CML cells Hypothesis : An epigenetic dysregulation is involved in the in vivo survival of a CML cell subclone despite the use of TKIs
