Filter by:This trial studies how well cognitive behavioral therapy works in helping patients with acute myeloid leukemia or lymphoma with cancer-related fatigue. Behavioral therapy uses methods to help patients change the way they think and act. Behavioral skills may help patients with acute myeloid leukemia or lymphoma cope with anxiety, depression, and other factors that may influence their level of cancer-related fatigue.
This phase II trial studies the how well fractionated gemtuzumab ozogamicin works in treating measurable residual disease in patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Gemtuzumab ozogamicin is a monoclonal antibody, called gemtuzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, called ozogamicin. Gemtuzumab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as CD33 receptors, and delivers a chemotherapy known as calicheamicin to kill them.
This research study is studying a targeted therapy combined with chemotherapy as a possible treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The drugs involved in this study are: - Prexasertib (LY2606368) - Mitoxantrone - Etoposide - Cytarabine
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether addition of a low dose of total body irradiation (TBI) to a standard preparation for transplant [total lymphoid irradiation (TLI) and anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG)] conditioning will help to augment donor chimerism without reducing tolerability of this regimen or increasing the risk of graft-vs-host disease (GVHD)
This is a prospective, observational study to collect stool and blood from acute myeloid leukemia patients undergoing intensive chemotherapy.
This phase I trial studies the side effects of using enasidenib as maintenance therapy in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia with IDH2 mutation following donor stem cell transplant. Enasidenib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This phase Ib/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of pinometostat and how well it works with standard chemotherapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia and a type of genetic mutation called MLL gene rearrangement. Pinometostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in standard chemotherapy, such as daunorubicin hydrochloride and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving pinometostat with standard chemotherapy may work better at treating acute myeloid leukemia.
This is an expanded access program (EAP) for eligible participants designed to provide access to AG-221.
Patients who have acute myeloid leukemia and will undergo haplo-identical donor hematopoeitic cell transplantation (haplo HCT) are potential candidates of this trial. Participants will randomized into two arms: Arm A will undergo a typical haplo HCT, while Arm B will receive an coinfusion of an unrelated cord blood unit (haplo-cord HCT) in addition to Arm A. Progression-free survival, overall survival, cumulative incidence of relapse and nonrelapse mortality will be recorded as endpoints.
Conventional cytogenetic studies have been the gold standard for more than five decades for detecting genetic alterations that are greater than 10 Mb (mega base pairs) in size. Conventional cytogenetic studies have paved the way in identifying specific chromosomal aberrations associated with clinically and morphologically definitive subsets of hematological neoplasms. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) has become a reliable and rapid complementary test in targeting critical genetic events associated with diagnostics and prognosis in hematological neoplasms. In the current health care environment, which increasingly focuses on value and efficiency, it is critical for pathologists and clinicians to effectively navigate this environment and judiciously incorporate these high-complexity and expensive techniques into routine patient care. While conventional karyotyping provides a comprehensive view of the genome, FISH can detect cryptic or submicroscopic genetic abnormalities and identify recurrent genetic abnormalities in nondividing cells. As a consequence, it is commonly extrapolated that FISH will improve the sensitivity of detecting all genetic abnormalities compared with conventional karyotyping analysis. This assumption has then been translated in clinical practice to having clinicians and pathologists routinely ordering both conventional karyotyping and FISH studies in patients with hematological neoplasms. Depending on how comprehensive the FISH panel is, the cost for this testing may be quite expensive, and its additive value remains questionable. It is common practice for laboratories to use FISH panels in conjunction with karyotyping both in diagnostic specimens and during follow-up to monitor response to therapy. Multiplex FISH (M-FISH) represents one of the most significant developments in molecular cytogenetics of the past decade. In tumor and leukemia cytogenetics, two groups have been targeted by M-FISH to identify cryptic chromosome rearrangements not detectable by conventional cytogenetic studies: those with an apparently normal karyotype (suspected of harboring small rearrangements not detectable by conventional cytogenetics) and those with a complex aberrant karyotype (which are difficult to karyotype accurately due to the sheer number of aberrations).
