Filter by:The objective of this study is to conduct a pilot randomized trial to evaluate the preliminary efficacy of the UR-GOAL tool vs. usual care in improving shared decision making and communication between 100 older patients with AML and their oncologists.
The purpose of this study is to estimate the efficacy of immunotherapy with ex vivo expanded haploidentical NK cells as consolidation therapy for children/young adults with intermediate risk AML.
This study collects blood and tissue samples from patients with cancer and without cancer to evaluate tests for early cancer detection. Collecting and storing samples of blood and tissue from patients with and without cancer to study in the laboratory may help researchers develop tests for the early detection of cancers.
This study aims to introduce a new technology of donor NK cell infusion. NK cells defend against viruses and cancer cells in vivo whereas this effect declines in patiens with tumors. In this study, NK cells will be separated from donated peripheral blood or umbilical cord blood. Eligible NK cells will be infused to patients with Acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This new therapy will probably induce their sustained remission and reduce recurrences.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is highly heterogeneous, the efficacy of the individual varies greatly, and the risk of recurrence is high. A large number of newly diagnosed AML patients cannot achieve complete remission (CR) after standard induction chemotherapy. The prognosis of AML patients after relapse is extremely poor, and only a few patients can get remission through salvage treatment. Chidamide is a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) independently developed by China. It has been marketed in recent years and the first innovative drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for clinical research in the United States. Chidamide can increase the sensitivity of leukemia cells to conventional chemotherapy by inhibiting cell proliferation, inducing apoptosis, and increasing cell cycle arrest. Chidamide and other drugs have different effects in combination, and jointly bear the anti-tumor effect, which provides a theoretical basis for Chidamide in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia. Cladribine is a purine nucleoside analog, which has the ability to inhibit DNA synthesis, repair, induce apoptosis, and has anti-leukemia activity for cells in both mitotic and quiescent phases. In the past ten years, many studies have proved that Cladribine and its combination therapy are effective in patients with relapsed and refractory AML and de novo AML. The NCCN guidelines recommend the combination of cladribine as a category 1 recommendation for newly-diagnosed and refractory or relapsed adult AML. Several studies have confirmed the use of Cladribine in the treatment of refractory and relapsed AML. The strong synergistic anti-cancer effect of HDACi combined with Cladribine has been shown in many cancers such as B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, colon cancer, multiple myeloma, natural killer large granular lymphocytic leukemia, B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and mantle cell lymphoma. Our previous study found a synergistic effect on combination of Chidamide and Cladribine in AML cell lines and primary cells. In clinical observation, refractory and relapsed AML patients also responded well to the combination of Chidamide plus Cladribine regimen. This provides a theoretical and practical basis for the use of the combination of Chidamide and Cladribine in AML patients.
If for years the treatment strategy of leukemia and related disorders (LRDs, including acute leukemias and predisposition syndromes) has been based solely on whether the patient could receive or not intensive chemotherapy and transplantation, the advent of new targeted or less targeted drugs has led to the development of a growing number of new therapeutic approaches, very often offered to specific patient/disease subsets, justifying the generic term of 'precision medicine'. As an international leukemia center of excellence, THEMA, the French National Center for Precision Medicine in Leukemia (selected as IHUB-2 by the French National Agency for Research), is a care, research, transfer and education initiative located at the Saint-Louis Research Institute (IRSL) in Paris and devoted to precision medicine in leukemia in a real-life environment. The present non-interventional study (eTHEMA) is a pillar of the whole THEMA project. As a prerequisite for precision medicine, this program focuses on individual data collection, aiming to collect high-quality data not only in patients treated into prospective clinical trials, but in every THEMA patient with a special interest in outpatients' care and research. The primary objective of this non-interventional study is to describe the baseline characteristics planned treatments and outcomes of patients newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), or myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN)-related myelofibrosis, when managed and treated according to standard diagnosis and care practices.
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow and is the most common acute leukemia in adults. This study will evaluate how well Venetoclax works to treat AML in adult participants who are ineligible for intensive chemotherapy in Greece. Venetoclax is a drug approved to treat Acute Myeloid Leukemia. All study participants will receive Venetoclax as prescribed by their study doctor in accordance with approved local label. Adult participants with a new diagnosis of AML who are ineligible for intensive chemotherapy will be enrolled. Around 100 participants will be enrolled in the study in approximately 15 sites in Greece. Participants will receive venetoclax tablets to be taken by mouth daily according to the approved local label. The duration of the study is approximately 30 months. There is expected to be no additional burden for participants in this trial. All study visits will occur during routine clinical practice and participants will be followed for 30 months.
This project will collect data on patients with acute myeloid leukemia in the United Kingdom who were treated with two new targeted therapies during the coronavirus pandemic
The detailed molecular and cellular mechanisms underpinning the clinical activity of most chemotherapies in cancers remain incompletely understood. Understanding how these drugs really act is a prerequisite for their rational therapeutic optimization. Recent observations suggest that early molecular and cellular changes in cancer cells upon chemotherapy exposure may dictate their long-term fate. We aim to address this question in previously untreated adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) patients treated with anthracycline/cytarabine association (either as free drugs, '7+3' regimen, or in liposomal formulation, CPX-351) by sequentially sampling peripheral blood during the first course of therapy, and by performing an early bone marrow reassessment. We will apply single cell RNA sequencing and multiparameter flow cytometry to correlate dynamic phenotypic landscapes with clinical outcomes (remission achievement and relapse-free survival). The study will be carried in two phases. First, a feasibility phase will be carried in the first 20 patients irrespective of the genetic make-up of their leukemic cells to identify the optimal pre-analytical conditions for single-cell transcriptional profiling. Second, an expansion phase will be carried focusing on two genetically subsets of patients chosen on the basis of their relative abundance and variability of clinical outcome, namely NPM1c-mutated AML (30% of patients, 60% cure rate) and NPM1-wildtype intermediate-risk AML (25% of patients, 40% cure rate), to correlate single-cell fates with remission and with long-term remission-free survival.
The clinical trial was designed to prove that Arsenic plus ATRA possibly had an effect on improving the symptoms, reducing the early mortality rate and prolonging the total survival time of patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed AML.
