Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well ponatinib hydrochloride works as second line therapy in treating patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase that has not responded to initial treatment (first line) with imatinib mesylate, dasatinib, or nilotinib or cannot tolerate imatinib mesylate, dasatinib, or nilotinib. Ponatinib hydrochloride may stop or control the growth of cancer cells by blocking a protein needed for cell growth.
The objective of the LEA-PsyCog project is to assess the prevalence of psychiatric disorders and psychocognitive impairments in adolescents surviving childhood leukemia . The second objective is to explore the complex relationships between psycocognitive development and soiciodemodemographics data, main characteristics of leukemia, treatments, side-effects, quality of life and characteristics of proxyies environment. 3. Materials and Methods The LEA study is based on the constitution of a multi-centric prospective cohort in 11 university hospitals: Bordeaux, Clermont-Ferrand, Grenoble, Lyon, Paris (Trousseau, Robert Debré, St Louis), Marseille, Montpellier, Nancy, Nice, Rennes. Are inclued in LEA all the children diagnosed and treated for acute leukemia since January 1980 (incident and prevalent cases), surviving at month 24 for the AML and ALL grafted in complete remission and at month 48 for the ALL not grafted in first complete remission. The LEA Psy-Cog study rests on a sample of the LEA cohort. Are included the patients 12-17-years-old from the PACA-Corse sub-cohort (administrative district of 4 million of people which corresponds to the Marseille and Nice centers). Patients from this two centers are the patients with the more important length of survey, allowing us to produce a not biaised estimation of prevalence rate. Finally, the choice of this subsample is supported by the proximity of the Mediterranean Center for Adolescent in Marseilles, specifically dedicated to the psychological follow-up of children suffering from cancer.
RATIONALE: Placing a gene that has been created in the laboratory into white blood cells may make the body build an immune response to kill cancer cells. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying genetically engineered lymphocyte therapy in treating patients with B-cell leukemia or lymphoma that is resistant or refractory to chemotherapy.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of direct intrabone transplantation procedure of peripheral blood haematopoietic stem cells form HLA-matched sibling donors in patients with myeloid and lymphoid malignancies.
The current standard therapy in previously untreated adults with chronic phase (CP) of CML is imatinib and the result of long-term follow-up of IRIS study proves that imatinib for CML CP is reasonable therapy.(1, 2) However, some patients were initially diagnosed as advanced CML, accelerated phase (AP) or blastic phase (BP). Various chemotherapies were tried and were found that there were no highly effective chemotherapies for CML BP.(3-11) Imatinib in patients with these advanced CML is also disappointing because of low response rates as well as short response duration, and sudden transformation to BC is found even in initial CML CP patients. (12-17). Recent studies showed that nilotinib or dasatinib is better than imatinib in terms of rapid response and higher molecular response in newly diagnosed CML patients.(18-21) More potent bcr-abl suppression of nilotinib is supposed to be more active than imatinib even in patients with advanced CML. However, nilotinib in patients with imatinib-resistant or -intolerant CML BP showed low hematologic response and major cytogenetic response.(22, 23)
The purpose of the Connect® Myeloid disease registry is to provide unique insights into treatment decisions and treatment patterns as they relate to clinical outcomes of patients with myeloid diseases in routine clinical practice. This disease registry will also evaluate molecular and cellular markers that may provide further prognostic classification which may or may not be predictive of therapy and clinical outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to investigate efficacy and safety of fresh frozen plasma(FFP), high dose methylprednisolone(HDMP) and rituximab for ultra-high risk chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether bendamustine is effective in the treatment of initial treatment of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL).
The purpose of this study is to assess whether dasatinib can be discontinued without occurrence of molecular relapse in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase in complete molecular remission (CMR) while on dasatinib.
This trial collects feedback from patients to develop a video game in improving the outcomes in stem cell transplant survivors. A video game may help to improve health behaviors for leukemia or lymphoma patients after stem cell transplant.
