Active clinical trials for "Leukemia"

The aim of the study is to know the percentage of ABL mutations in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia that relapsed or are refractory to tyrosine-kinase inhibitors measured with a myeloid mutations panel by NGS.

This research study is being conducted to help understand how the symptoms during treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) may be affected by metabolism and how best to study this association. Symptoms include experiences like fatigue, sleep disturbance, pain, and depression.

There is no specific recommendation about antimicrobial treatment length for documented infections in chemotherapy induced febrile neutropenia. The aim of this study was to compare long versus short antibiotic course for bloodstream infection treatment in acute myeloid leukemia patients during febrile neutropenia. This monocentric retrospective comparative study included all consecutive bloodstream infection episodes among acute myeloid leukemia patients with febrile neutropenia for 3 years (2017-2019). Episodes were classified regarding the length of antibiotic treatment, considered as short course if the treatment lasted ≤7 days, except for nonfermenting bacteria and Staphylococcus aureus or lugdunensis for which the threshold was ≤10 days and ≤14 days, respectively. The primary outcome was the number of bloodstream infection relapses in both groups within 30 days of antibiotic discontinuation.

The primary purpose of the study is to quantify participants' demographic parameters, country standard therapies, treatment patterns and outcomes among participants with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), multiple myeloma (MM) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in oncology concentration hospitals in Latin America.

Published data regarding the temporal pattern of AML are scarce and old. The greater knowledge of these neoplasias has made that their classification has been remarkable modified. Therefore, we consider relevant to carry out the present study as it would allow us to analyze the potential existence of a spatio-temporal pattern in the incidence of AML in Spain.

The study aims at developing a model for the prediction of time to first treatment in chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients presenting with asymptomatic early stage disease

Prevalence and prognostic significance of polypharmacy has not been evaluated in adults undergoing treatment for AML. Investigating the significance of polypharmacy in this population may help improve patient assessment and provide an opportunity to design simple interventions to minimize unnecessary morbidity associated with treatment.

Myeloid Sarcoma (or granulocytic Sarcoma or Chloroma) is well defined by the WHO. However, there are currently no data about the prevalence, sites of occurence and thr prognostic value for patients with AML with this finding. Information about this condition is based on retrospective analyses since there have been no studies trying to define the role of myeloid sarcoma in AML so far. This observational trial will include adult patients with newly diagnosed and relapsed AML in order to perform 18FDG-PET-CT imaging prior to induction chemotherapy. Furthermore, a second 18FDG-PET-CT will be performed after induction chemotherapy to define the responsiveness of these tumors to chemotherapy. The primary endpoint of this study is the prevalence of 18FDG-PET-CT positive extramedullary AML manifestations (myeloid sarcoma) in patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed AML.

This laboratory study is looking into biomarkers in samples from younger patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Studying samples of bone marrow from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer

The purpose of this study is to compare treatment methods and outcomes of patients diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
