Filter by:The hospitalization for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) impairs the physical functioning and functional capacity, but aerobic physical training and, more recently, inspiratory muscle training, have shown benefits to patients' health submitted to this intervention. However, is not known the effect of aerobic physical training combined with inspiratory muscle training in hospitalized patients for HSCT. The purpose of the study will be verify the safety, feasibility and effects of the training association.
This research study is evaluating the impact of a psychological intervention mobile application (app) on the quality of life, mood, and symptoms of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
This is a multi-center, single-arm, open-label, Phase 2 study of duvelisib, an orally bioavailable dual inhibitor of PI3K-δ,γ, in patients with CLL/SLL who have previously been treated with ibrutinib or another Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (BTKi) and relapsed or were refractory to such therapy or discontinued such therapy due to toxicity.
The present study aims at analyzing the response to treatment of adult patients homogeneously treated with supportive care, chemotherapy and blinatumomab.
This is a phase II multi-institutional therapeutic study of a non-myeloablative T cell receptor (TCR) alpha/beta depleted haploidentical transplantation with post-transplant immune reconstitution using ALT-803 for the treatment of high-risk myeloid leukemia (AML), treatment-related/secondary AML, and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
This is an open-label, Phase 1, dose-escalation (Segment 1) and expansion (Segment 2) study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the recommended phase two dose (RPTD), and to assess the safety, preliminary efficacy, and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of ABBV-744 in participants with relapsed/refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).
This phase I trial studies the side effects of DEC-205/NY-ESO-1 fusion protein CDX-1401, poly ICLC, decitabine, and nivolumab in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia. DEC-205/NY-ESO-1 fusion protein CDX-1401 is a vaccine that may help the immune system specifically target and kill cancer cells. Poly ICLC may help stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as decitabine, 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. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving DEC-205/NY-ESO-1 fusion protein CDX-1401, poly ICLC, decitabine, and nivolumab may work better in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate of the clinical efficacy and safety of DLAAG protocol in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome with blast excess
Patients with CML report on fatigue, and many of them report on sleep disturbances. The investigators wish to objectively assess the patient's sleep using a sleep "wrist watch" (Actigraph) , and correlate data with their perception of sleep quality. A matched participants group will serve as control. the Control group is defined as participants not having CML or any other malignancy and without any known sleep disturbances.
The treatment of very elderly patients (≥70 years) with acute myeloid leukemia remains controversial. Although the outcome in younger adults has improved because of cytarabine- and anthracycline-based chemotherapy with advanced supportive care and introduction of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, the benefit associated with standard intensive chemotherapy in older patients remain debatable. Life expectancy in elderly patients is a function of age, disability and comorbidity, performance score, along with leukemia characteristics such as genetic alterations or white blood cell count at diagnosis 'Older' patients are generally considered those aged 60 years or older. Intensive chemotherapy delivered to the very elderly with AML (patients _70 years of age), may not be beneficial to most and could be harmful to some. However, these patients are often referred to as 'unfit' or ineligible for intensive remission induction therapy. In daily practice, the final decision to treat intensively or not is made by the treating hematologist on a case by case basis according to patient's age, cytogenetics, performance score, concomitant diseases and type of AML (de novo or secondary). In older patients considered 'unfit' for intensive treatment, LD-AraC has been demonstrated to be more beneficial than best supportive care and hydroxyurea. The recent availability of new drugs that may have an improved side effect profile and in some cases bioavailability may offer future improvement for this patient population. The efficacy of hypomethylating agents has been studied in older AML patients with conflicting results. Recent publications refined prognostic information, which not only optimize existing treatments but also could lead to the development of additional targeted therapeutic approaches. In this study, the investigators focus on patients with AML (_20% blasts) aged 70 or older seen in our institution over a 14-year period. The objectives of the analysis are to describe the demographic, clinical and biological characteristics of this population and to evaluate how these characteristics and the treatment chosen affect
