Filter by:Unicentric retrospective analysis of a cohort of 602 young adult and adolescent patients, aged 15 to 30 years, with haematological malignancies, and managed between 2000 and 2016
This is an observational study to collect stool, blood, and urine from acute leukemia patients undergoing induction chemotherapy in order to generate preliminary data regarding the association between microbiota and chemotherapy-induced gut barrier damage. This study consists of inpatient collections of blood, urine, and stool while the patients are undergoing inpatient induction therapy. Patients will not be scheduled for any additional procedures or testing beyond what is required for clinical care.
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 study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a novel CD19-CART in the treatment of refractory or recurrent ALL.
This pilot phase II trial studies how well high dose cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil work in preventing graft versus host disease in patients with hematological malignancies undergoing myeloablative or reduced intensity donor stem cell transplant. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells (called graft versus host disease). Giving high dose cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil after the transplant may stop this from happening.
This phase II trial studies how well an umbilical cord blood transplant with added sugar works with chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with leukemia or lymphoma. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor umbilical cord blood transplant helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The umbilical cord blood cells will be grown ("expanded") on a special layer of cells collected from the bone marrow of healthy volunteers in a laboratory. A type of sugar will also be added to the cells in the laboratory that may help the transplant to "take" faster.
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is capable of definitive cure of acute leukemias. The most important post-transplant complication is graft vs host disease (GVHD) which can be substantially decreased by the addition of anti-T lymphocyte globulin (ATG-Grafalon) to the standard GVHD prophylaxis (cyclosporin and methotrexate) without any increase in relapses and infections (Kroger et al NEJM 2016, ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00678275). In the ATG_familystudy (prospective, randomised, multicenter study) a decrease in the incidence of chronic GVHD (from 67.8% to 32.2%) was observed after the addition of ATG (10 mg/kg for three days ,from day -3 to -1) to the standard GVHD prophylaxis in the setting of acute leukemias in any remission, receiving peripheral blood stem cells from an HLA identical sibling donor after myeloablative preparative regimen. In particular, the GVHD extensive form was reduced from 52.4% to 7.6%. The study has been closed in 2014 with a minimum follow up of 2 years from transplant. The investigators would like to evaluate the longer term follow up of this study.
A phase I-II open label study of PTX-200 in combination with cytarabine in the treatment of relapsed or refractory acute leukemia.
The aim of this study is to investigate levels of a protein, mannose binding lectin, in patients with acute leukemia who develop or not an invasive fungal infection.
Despite advances in their classification and treatment, acute leukemia remain incurable disease for the majority of patients. It is necessary to identify new prognostic markers of survival and new therapeutic targets to improve prognosis. Some studies have shown that Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3-ligand (FLT3-L) could be interesting from this. A more recent study from our group testing a novel therapy in acute lymphoblastic leukemia, showed an increase of this marker in the blood of patients responding to treatment. The aim of our prospective, non-interventional study is to measure the plasma levels of FLT3-L at different times of the management of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia but also myeloid. For this, analyzes of the samples collected in the usual care will be conducted to study the relationship between the plasma concentration of FLT3-L and outcomes. If there is any link, the FLT3-L could serve as a predictor of treatment response.
