Filter by:The Environmental Protection Agency has recognized that organophosphorus pesticides require close regulation and continued monitoring for human health effects and some (e.g chlorpyrifos) have been phased-out from the consumer market due to the special risk that it posed for children. There is growing evidence in support of the association between pesticide exposure and childhood leukemia. Studies of pesticides and their association with childhood cancer have been limited by study designs, self-reporting and lack of biological measurements. While several large studies in California found little evidence of an association between agricultural pesticide use and childhood leukemia, these results are in contrast with the associations observed with household exposures to pesticides. The real association may depend on timing of exposure, type of pesticide, dose and pathway of exposure. Furthermore, some persons may be more susceptible to the effects of specific pesticides due to inherited mutations in their detoxification pathways. We are conducting a pilot study to test the hypothesis that environmental exposure to pesticides in pregnancy or during the neonatal period, together with genetic susceptibility may lead to childhood ALL or brain cancer. The study is a multicenter, case-control study, based on collaboration between clinical researchers and basic science research to evaluate the risk for childhood cancer in relation to measured levels of pesticides (and their metabolites) and genetic polymorphisms. Biomarkers will be used to examine the risks of chronic low-dose exposures, and to characterize relationships between specific pesticides, childhood cancer and genetic susceptibility. Hypothesis: Interaction between environmental factors (pesticides) and maternal or child genetic polymorphisms may lead to childhood cancer.
Previous experience with antibody therapy in both NHL and CLL warrants further exploration of new antibody treatments for these diseases. Immunomedics has developed hLL1 (previously designated EPB-1), which is a CDR-grafted, fully humanized monoclonal antibody specifically targeting CD74.38 The human IgG1 backbone for hLL1 is the same as hLL2 (epratuzumab), a monoclonal antibody whose safety has been demonstrated in clinical trials of patients with B-cell malignancies and autoimmune disorders. This is a Phase I, open-label, study conducted in patients with recurrent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who have progressed after at least one prior standard treatment. All patients will receive hLL1 administered intravenously once daily Monday through Friday of each of 2 consecutive weeks (10 total doses.) Patients will be assigned to a cohort for hLL1 treatment dose assignment (escalating doses of hLL1 per statistical plan) in order to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for this administration schedule.
RATIONALE: An individualized exercise program may be effective in lessening fatigue and depression and improving quality of life in patients undergoing chemotherapy for leukemia. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well individualized exercise programs work in patients receiving chemotherapy for newly diagnosed acute or relapsed myeloid leukemia or lymphoblastic leukemia.
This was a Phase 2, international, multicenter, open-label, single-arm trial evaluating Marqibo (VSLI) in adult subjects with: 1) Ph- ALL or lymphoblastic lymphoma in second or greater relapse; or 2) Ph- ALL or lymphoblastic lymphoma who failed 2 or greater treatment lines of anti-leukemia chemotherapy. The original enrollment target for this study was approximately 56 subjects. Per a protocol amendment, enrollment was increased from 56 to 65. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate: - The efficacy of the study treatment as determined by the rate of CR plus CR with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi) in adult subjects with Philadelphia chromosome-negative (Ph-) ALL in second relapse or adult subjects with (Ph-) ALL who failed 2 treatment lines of anti-leukemia chemotherapy. Subjects must have achieved a CR to at least 1 prior anti-leukemia therapy as defined by a leukemia-free interval of ≥ 90 days.
The objective of current protocol is try improve the results of chemotherapy treatment in patients with ALL wich is not indicated the peripheral stem cell transplant in first remission, with an intensive consolidation follow by re-inductions.
RATIONALE: Beclomethasone dipropionate may be effective in preventing acute graft-versus-host disease in patients undergoing a stem cell transplant for hematologic cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well beclomethasone dipropionate works in preventing acute graft-versus-host disease in patients undergoing a donor stem cell transplant for hematologic cancer.
Improved outcome of high risk lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with laite high dose therapy. High dose versus conventional therapy for adult low risk T-ALL and Lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL).
This clinical trial is studying risk-group classification of patients with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Developing a risk-group classification guide may help doctors assign patients with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia to treatment clinical trials.
This project will attempt to validate the utilization of a stable isotope kinetic biomarker (KineMarkerTM) as a predictive test for disease progression in early stage chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
The Phase 1 portion of the study will evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile and safety of ABT-263 under two different dosing schedules with the objective of defining the dose limiting toxicity and maximum tolerated dose. The Phase 2a portion of the study will evaluate ABT-263 at the defined recommended Phase 2 dose to obtain additional safety information and a preliminary assessment of efficacy. The Extension Study portion will allow active subjects to continue to receive ABT-263 for up to 11 years after the last subject transitions with less frequent study evaluations.
