Filter by:Background Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) accounts for about 25% of childhood cancers and for about 20% of adult leukemias. The disease can be treated with CAR T-cell infusion but non-central nervous system (CNS) extramedullary disease (EMD) is associated with lower rates of complete remission. 18-fludeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) has been shown to be effective for detection of non-CNS EMD in ALL. Pre and post CAR T-cell infusion may help to predict outcomes and risk of early progression. Objectives To describe the number of adults with relapsed/refractory B-cell ALL who proceed to CAR T-cell therapy. Eligibility Participants >=18 years with relapsed/refractory B-cell ALL who are being screened for CAR T-cell clinical trial enrollment, and Participants <18 with relapsed/refractory B cell ALL who are being screened for CAR T-cell clinical trial enrollment and have a clinical indication for FDG PET-CT prior to CAR infusion. Design Pilot study to add screening FDG PET-CT as part of the pre-CAR T-cell baseline evaluation with additional imaging at day 28 and future timepoints pending evidence of non-CNS EMD on initial scan.
The CliniMACS® device is FDA-approved only for one indication (CD34+ selection). Additional use of this device outside of this indication requires the use of feasibility studies. Children, adolescents and young adults with malignant and non-malignant conditions undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplants will have stem cells selected using alpha-beta+/CD19+ cell depletion. This is a single arm feasibility study using this processing of peripheral stem cells with alternative donor sources (haploidentical, mismatched, matched unrelated) to determine efficacy as seen by engraftment and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).
The purpose of this study is determine the effectiveness of a six-month virtually-delivered dietary education intervention (PEDALL) on the prevention of overweight and obesity (OW/OB) during maintenance chemotherapy in children and adolescents with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of supplementation with Omega 3, Vitamin D and Calcium, in a cohort of children with ALL undergoing treatment and compare changes in the concentrations of biomarkers of bone resorption (TRAP5b, CTX, and RANKL), the RANKL/OPG ratio, and biomarkers of bone formation (BALP, OC, PINP, PICP and OPG) after 6 and 12 weeks of supplementation.
Nutritional status is a measurable and modifiable factor that is often not considered during treatment and its clinical impact undervalued due in part to the heavy demands on clinicians in low and middle income countries to deliver therapy to large numbers of patients. The proposed study will create a biobank of clinical data and biological specimens which will foster future studies on cancer progression and prognosis as well as toxicities during treatment which may impact survivorship and late-effects. Eligible patients must be between 3 years and 18 years of age at time of assent/consent, have newly diagnosed B- or T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or mixed phenotype acute leukemia confirmed by pathology report, and must be receiving treatment at one of the participating centers. Patients receiving hematopoietic cell transplant will be excluded. Institutions were selected to ensure representation of several global health indicators related to nutritional status and wealth classification according to the World Bank. Data related to demographic variables (socioeconomic status, food security), lifestyle habits (diet, physical activity), nutritional anthropometrics (height, weight and arm anthropometry), and nutritional biological indices (stool and blood) will be collected at designated timepoints throughout treatment and one year after the end of treatment.
A Phase 1 first-in-human dose-escalation and dose-expansion study of BMF-500, an oral FLT3 inhibitor, in adult patients with acute leukemia.
The study is designed to examine the feasibility and safety of collecting autologous hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) to be combined with CAR T-cell therapy for patients with relapsed/refractory (r/r) hematological disease. The study will evaluate feasibility of collecting the target dose of HSCs from at least 50% of enrolled patients. The study will assess safety based on incidence and severity of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) in the first 60 days post CAR T dosing, and also through the collection of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) as well as the durability of response after treatment with HSCs with CAR T. The study follows an open-label, single-center and single non-randomized cohort design. 20 subjects with r/r hematological malignancies will be enrolled and treated to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary safety of collecting autologous HSCs and combining them with CAR T-cell therapy.
The goal of this research study is to understand the acceptability and feasibility of the Sleep ALL Night intervention among children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in hopes of improving the discussion of sleep disorders with clinical providers. The name of the intervention used in this research study is: Sleep ALL Night, which is a sleep intervention program comprised of an action plan tool and psychoeducational website.
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common hematological malignancy in children (<18 years). The success of pediatric ALL therapy is remarkable but important challenges still need to be faced, including cure rates in specific patients' subsets (e.g.: adolescents and relapsed patients), and short- and long-term chemotherapy-related toxicities. The therapeutic scheme of the Associazione Italiana Emato-oncologia pediatrica (AIEOP) ALL protocols consists in a more intensive and toxic earlier phase (to induce and consolidate remission, about 6 months), followed by a prolonged period of immunosuppression (achieved by self- or parent-administered daily mercaptopurine (MP) and weekly methotrexate (MTX) per os). It is now well established that the length of the maintenance phase (up to 24 months after diagnosis) is as necessary as the early remission induction for sustained event-free survival (EFS). Both MP and MTX can lead to potentially serious complications, including potentially life-threatening myelosuppression and infections. To exert its therapeutic effect, MP requires an intracellular enzymatic conversion into active thionucleotides (TGN) and is thus susceptible to intra- and inter-individual variations in efficacy and toxicity. Patients carrying variants in TPMT and NUTD15 genes are at risk of adverse effects when treated with standard MP doses: these patients are identifiable by pre-emptive genotyping. Recent studies demonstrated that an adequate and constant MP exposure during maintenance is associated with higher therapeutic success. Prescribed MP doses are often changed by physicians to target a white blood cell count (WBC) range of 2.0-3.0 × 109/L during maintenance. In the AIEOP ALL 2009 protocol, patients with lower mean TGN exposure during maintenance showed a trend towards a higher risk of relapse compared to others. Similarly, patients with higher intra-individual variability in TGN over time showed a trend towards a worse outcome. Daily compliance to prescribed MP over time is a challenging issue for patients and may result in less effective therapy. The high intra-individual variability in exposure due to the frequent dose adjustments and the potential lack of patients' adherence to oral MP therapy over time might contribute to the risk of relapse. The aim of this study is to assess through therapeutic drug monitoring of MP if patients' exposure during maintenance is adequate and constant.
The purpose of this prospective, open-label, single-center study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of VEN-AZA (venetoclax and azacytidine) followed by modified BUCY (busulfan and cyclophosphamide) as conditioning regimen for high-risk or relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).
