Active clinical trials for "Leukemia"

RATIONALE: Peripheral stem cell transplantation may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy used to kill cancer cells. Sometimes the transplanted cells can be rejected by the body's normal tissues. Donor lymphocytes that have been treated in the laboratory may prevent this from happening. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of donor lymphocytes to prevent graft-versus-host disease in patients who are undergoing peripheral stem cell transplantation for chronic myeloid leukemia.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness in the real-world setting among participants who are treated with Azacitidine in accordance with the China Product Label.

Background: -Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a cancer of the white blood cells. It can be fatal. Standard treatment involves intensive chemotherapy. Not all treatment works. AML that has not responded to treatment (refractory) or that has returned after treatment (relapsed) is high-risk even with treatment. Success of therapy is normally determined after 28 to 56 days. This study will see if a blood test on day 4 of therapy can help identify earlier those who will not respond. Objectives: -To see if a blood test on day 4 of therapy can help identify those who will not respond to treatment for AML. Eligibility: -People ages 18-70 who have refractory or relapsed AML and have had at least one previous therapy for it. Design: Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, and blood tests. Participants will have: Several blood tests. Bone marrow exams: a needle is inserted into the hip to take cells from the bone marrow. Echocardiogram: a small probe is held to the chest to take pictures of the heart. ECG: soft electrodes are stuck to the skin. A machine records the heart s signals. CT scans: they will lie in a machine that takes pictures of the body. Standard chemotherapy. Possible transfusions of blood products such as red blood cells or platelets. Participants will be expected to stay in the study typically for 2 3 months. This will include inpatient treatment. Inpatient stay normally will be 1 or 2 months.

The treatment options for high-risk acute leukemia patients are limited and these patients are often opt for hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). However studies show that prognosis following this last-resort therapy is bleak. At times, less than 70% of post-HSCT relapsed AML and ALL patients even achieve complete remission; median overall survival of these cohorts might not reach one year; and 3-year post-HSCT survival rates might be less than 20%. The investigators plan to recruit acute leukemia patients from CMUH which are planned to receive HSCT, and follow the rate and quality of their immune reconstitution. As intervention, part of the patients will receive a Chinese medicine herbal formula, which they will take for 6 months.Differences between the 1-year post-HSCT condition of patients will be examined.

Treatment for pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) involves intensive chemotherapy regimens that result in periods of profound neutropenia leaving patients susceptible to severe infectious complications. Infectious complications are the leading cause of treatment related mortality among AML patients, but there are little clinical data to inform whether management of neutropenia post AML chemotherapy should occur in an outpatient or inpatient setting. The primary objective of this study is to compare the clinical effectiveness of outpatient versus inpatient management of neutropenia in children with AML.

This is a pilot study to evaluate the use feasibility of the iThermonitor, a continuous temperature monitoring device, as a clinical support and patient self-management tool in the management of pediatrics patients on myelosuppressive therapies for acute leukemia and other childhood cancers.

Subjects who are recruited in this study are LLA patient, who are treated for routine control to Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, who meet the inclusion criteria and do not meet the exclusion criteria.

Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are at risk to develop severe infections whose invasive aspergillosis (IA). These infections are leading to an important morbidity and mortality. Antifungal prophylaxis is recommended by posaconazole for AML patients during neutropenia induced by induction chemotherapy. Their application is not uniform.

This study use an observational study design from patient medical records to obtain data on patient demographics, nutritional status, 6MP dosing, and albumin levels of LLA child patients.

This non-interventional, prospective study will characterize the impact of three approved first and second generation BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors on cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors in chronic phase CML (CP-CML) patients who are TKI naive and initiating first-line TKIs in routine clinical practice in the US. All treatment decisions will be determined at the discretion of the treating physician(s) and data identifying the cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors will be collected. Additional fasting blood samples (collected following 8 hours of fasting) will be collected during standard of care (SOC)/routine office visits. Additional research imaging will be performed and will be reviewed by core imaging laboratory. As the study is collecting data on management of CML, this study will not influence the prescribing or management practices at participating sites.
