Filter by:Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is currently treated with chemotherapy by combining several drugs with different ways of inhibiting the cell growth. In this trial, standard chemotherapeutics that have proven their effectiveness for years, Ara-C and Idarubicin, will be combined with a new drug called Selinexor. Selinexor inhibits the growth of cancer cells by keeping certain proteins in the nucleus which control the cell growth.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of an exercise intervention on patient-reported anxiety, depression, fatigue, and sleep disturbances among acute leukemia patients. The investigators hypothesize that exercise will reduce fatigue in acute leukemia patients.
Chemotherapy-related myelosuppression usually occurs in AML patients, which induces severe thrombocytopenia and haemorrhage, a leading cause of death. This clinical trial aims at evaluating efficacy and safety of rhTPO in management of chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia in acute myelocytic leukemia.
The EQUAL study has been designed for adult survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who are overweight or obese. The purpose of this study is to see if diet and exercise can help people lose weight and improve other health problems. This two year study will compare two methods of informing participants about ways to lose weight.
This open-label, multicenter, randomized Phase III study is designed to compare the efficacy and safety of a combined regimen of obinutuzumab and venetoclax versus obinutuzumab + chlorambucil in participants with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and coexisting medical conditions. The time on study treatment was approximately one year and the follow-up period will be up to 9 years.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the 28-day safety and tolerability, and to determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of idelalisib in Japanese participants with relapsed or refractory indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (iNHL) or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of CPX-351 on cardiac repolarization, assess plasma drug levels, asses serum copper levels, and assess drug levels in urine. Efficacy and Safety will be assessed in all patients enrolled to the study.
The purpose of this study is to determine safety, tolerability, dose limiting toxicities (DLT) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ZEN003365 in patients with relapsed/refractory lymphoproliferative malignancies (LPM) or relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
The purpose of this study is to describe the dose limiting toxicities (DLT) and define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ASP2215 when combined with cytarabine/idarubicin or daunorubicin remission induction in a 7+3 schedule. Safety and tolerability of ASP2215 will also be evaluated. This study will also characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of ASP2215 when given in combination with cytarabine/idarubicin or cytarabine/daunorubicin remission induction and high-dose cytarabine (HiDAC) consolidation therapy in newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia as well as evaluate the effect of ASP2215 on the PK of cytarabine.
STUDY BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is a common type of blood cancer in adults, and is more common with increasing age. AML is harder to treat in older patients, with typically poor responses to standard chemotherapy. Patients with AML are typically given intensive induction chemotherapy, but many older patients cannot tolerate the side effects of this therapy. Decitabine has been shown to be active and better tolerated in frail patients with AML; however, most patients still relapse. Recent studies suggest that improving the performance status and fitness of older AML patients prior to induction chemotherapy may help to lessen side effects. This study will test the combination of decitabine treatment with physical exercise in elderly patients with AML who are not candidates for standard induction chemotherapy. STUDY DESCRIPTION: This is a pilot study to test the combination of decitabine treatment with an 8-week physical exercise program in AML patients ≥ 60 years of age who are not candidates for standard induction chemotherapy. Patients who are eligible to take part must give their written agreement before they can be enrolled. This study will enroll 20 patients who are not candidates for standard induction chemotherapy. Patients will begin an 8-week program of physical exercise, including 2-3 sessions per week supervised by a physical therapist. During this 8-week period, patients will be given 2 cycles of decitabine therapy (daily infusion for 5 consecutive days of a 28-day cycle). Patients will be followed to assess the safety and tolerability of the program. Patients will also give blood samples that will be used to assess their response to treatment. Patients will be evaluated for their physical fitness before and after the 8-week exercise program and will complete questionnaires to assess their quality of life before and after the program.
