Filter by:This phase II clinical trial tests a chemotherapy regimen (dose-adjusted etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin with or without rituximab [DA-EPOCH+/-R]) with the addition of targeted therapy (tafasitamab) for the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome negative (Ph-) B acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Chemotherapy drugs, such as those in EPOCH+/-R, 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. Tafasitamab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It works by helping the body to slow or stop the growth of cancer cells. Adding tafasitamab to the DA-EPOCH+/-R regimen may work better than DA-EPOCH+/-R alone in treating newly diagnosed Ph- B-ALL.
Introduction: Oral mucositis is one of the most frequent complications associated with chemotherapy, occurring in up to 90% children receiving treatment for cancer. Different treatment modalities have been suggested with inconsistent results. Recently, it has been suggested that the use of laser could reduce the grade of oral mucositis and alleviate the symptoms. Aim: To evaluate and compare the efficacy between the high (Infrared) wavelength laser and low (red) wavelength laser in management of chemotherapy induced oral mucositis in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Methods: This study is a randomized, prospective, double-blind trial that will include acute lymphoblastic leukemia inpatients receiving induction chemotherapy between the age of 3 and 14years who develop oral mucositis grade 2 or more. These patients will be randomized by the Clinical Epidemiology unit using a computer-based method into three groups. Group I: will be treated with Laser wavelength 660 nm, group II: will be treated with laser wavelength 970 nm, and group III: will receive mock treatment which is the exact repetition of the treatment modality but without any laser emission. All the patients will follow the hospital standard management for oral mucositis. All patients will be assessed for pain score using CHIMES, oral mucositis using NCI-CTCAE scale V5 on days, 0,4,7 and 11. As well as measuring the duration of the lesion.
Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer in children. About 90% of children and young adults who are treated for ALL can now be cured. But if the disease comes back, the survival rate drops to less than 50%. Better treatments are needed for ALL relapses. Objective: To test chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapy. CARs are genetically modified cells created from each patient s own blood cells. his trial will use a new type of CAR T-cell that is targeting both CD19 and CD22 at the same time. CD19 and CD22 are proteins found on the surface of most types of ALL. Eligibility: People aged 3 to 39 with ALL or related B-cell lymphoma that has not been cured by standard therapy. Design: Participants will be screened. This will include: Physical exam Blood and urine tests Tests of their lung and heart function Imaging scans Bone marrow biopsy. A large needle will be inserted into the body to draw some tissues from the interior of a bone. Lumbar puncture. A needle will be inserted into the lower back to draw fluid from the area around the spinal cord. Participants will undergo apheresis. Their blood will circulate through a machine that separates blood into different parts. The portion containing T cells will be collected; the remaining cells and fluids will be returned to the body. The T cells will be changed in a laboratory to make them better at fighting cancer cells. Participants will receive chemotherapy starting 4 or 5 days before the CAR treatment. Participants will be admitted to the hospital. Their own modified T cells will be returned to their body. Participants will visit the clinic 2 times a week for 28 days after treatment. Follow-up will continue for 15 years....
The efficacy and safety of acalabrutinib in the treatment of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) have been well established through 3 phase III clinical trials (ELEVATE TN, ASCEND, ELEVATE R/R) that led to European Medicines Agency approval in November 2020. The aim of this French longitudinal, non-interventional/observational, multicenter study is to describe the efficacy and safety of acalabrutinib treatment for CLL patients in real life. The primary objective is then to estimate the time to discontinuation of acalabrutinib therapy and the reasons for discontinuation, overall and by treatment line. The secondary objectives are to describe the baseline clinical and demographic characteristics of patients with CLL treated with acalabrutinib, to assess the efficacy of acalabrutinib through progression-free survival, overall survival, time to next treatment or death, describe acalabrutinib treatment patterns in CLL patients and reasons, identify key determinants of acalabrutinib discontinuation in CLL patients, estimate healthcare resource utilization. The overall response rate will be estimated as an exploratory objective. Patients included in this study will be CLL patients treated with acalabrutinib at the discretion of their physician between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2022, who have been informed of the study and do not object to electronic processing of their data for research purposes (or do not object during their lifetime in the event of the patient's death prior to study initiation). Secondary data will be extracted from the hospital's patient records once a year. The protocol calls for the recruitment of 350 patients at 70 centres with a 3-year follow-up. Interim analyses will be performed annually until the end of the study.
The purpose of this study is to deliver dual-targeting CAR-T cell therapy (CART 2219.1) as a salvage treatment to patients with relapsed/refractory B-lineage leukaemia in place of stem cell transplant or irradiation.
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common childhood malignancy in the world. It is a malignant clonal proliferation of lymphoid progenitor cells, but most commonly of the B cell lineage (B ALL). . Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is a heterogeneous disease that causes malignant hematological disorders at any age. It mainly affects children aged 2 to 5; in fact, 60% of pediatric leukemia cases are ALL, with an incidence of 3-4 cases per 100,000 per year. It is divided into two subtypes B-ALL and T-ALL depending on whether transformation occurs in B- or T-cell precursors, respectively . Leukemic cells apply multiple immune evasion mechanisms resulting in tumor progression. One of the most important immune escape mechanisms is over expression of immune checkpoint receptors and their ligands such as PD-1 and PD-L1 . The PD-1 receptor plays a crucial role in a broad spectrum of immune regulatory mechanisms . It is a negative co-receptor that down regulates T-cell activity . PDL 1, which is known as B7 H1 , is a cell surface protein of B7 family member . PD L1 is expressed on all types of lympho hematopoietic cells at variable levels and is constitutively expressed on T cells, B cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells . Tumors exploit the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway to evade host immune surveillance . PD-1/PD-L1 pathway controls the induction and maintenance of immune tolerance within the tumor microenvironment. The activity of PD-1 and its ligands PD-L1 or PD-L2 are responsible for T cell activation, proliferation, and cytotoxic secretion in cancer to produce anti-tumor immune responses .
The purpose of this study is to characterize safety and to determine the putative recommended Phase 2 dose(s) (RP2D[s]) and optimal dosing schedule(s) of JNJ-80948543 in Part A (Dose Escalation) and to further characterize the safety of JNJ-80948543 at the putative RP2D(s) in Part B (Cohort Expansion).
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects and best infusion dose of genetically engineered cells called anti-CD19/CD20/CD22 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells following a short course of chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine in treating patients with lymphoid cancers (malignancies) that have come back (recurrent) or do not respond to treatment (refractory). Lymphoid malignancies eligible for this trial are: non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and B-prolymphocytic leukemia (B-PLL). T-cells (a type of white blood cell) form part of the body's immune system. CAR-T is a type of cell therapy that is used with gene-based therapies. CAR T-cells are made by taking a patient's own T-cells and genetically modifying them with a virus so that they are recognized by a group of proteins called CD19/CD20/CD22 which are found on the surface of cancer cells. Anti-CD19/CD20/CD22 CAR T-cells can recognize CD19/CD20/CD22, bind to the cancer cells and kill them. Giving combination chemotherapy helps prepare the body before CAR T-cell therapy. Giving CAR-T after cyclophosphamide and fludarabine may kill more tumor cells.
This phase II trial compares the effect of initial vaccination (PCV20 followed by PSV23) with yearly vaccinations of PSV23 to the standard 5 year vaccination in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. At present chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients are poorly protected by anti-pneumococcal vaccination. Current vaccination schedule for chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients is based on general recommendations in immunocompromised patients (initial vaccination with PCV13 followed by one dose of PSV23 after an interval of two months, followed by revaccination at 5 years). Giving patients frequent immunization as compared to 5 year immunization may result in higher protective titers in patients.
A single-arm, non-randomized four-month trial of the adapted family-based behavioral weight loss treatment (FBT) intervention will be conducted to evaluate its acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary indications of efficacy including measures of relative weight change and associated secondary outcomes (e.g., weight related health behaviors, health related quality of life), among 40 childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) survivors and their families.
