Filter by:In this study, the investigators seek to evaluate bone marrow and blood samples and treatment responses to see if Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) can be used as a predictive method of response to treatment in amyloidosis.
Study purpose is to assess the prognostic role of Minimal Residual Disease (defined as medullary expression of WT1 gene), performed at Baseline and during treatment according to clinical practice. MRD results will be relate to treatment outcome and survival analysis variables (Overall Survival, Disease Free Survival, Cumulative Incidence of Relapse)
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) is an effective therapy for acute leukemia, but relapse remains an important problem. Therapy options for relapse include stopping immune suppression, re-induction of chemotherapy, donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI), and another transplantation used alone or in combination. However, the efficacy of these interventions is limited. One approach to the relapse problem is to intervene before hematologic or pathologic relapse occurs based on minimal residual disease (MRD). In this study, the efficacy of MRD-directed DLI on transplantation outcomes will be evaluated in patients with acute leukemia receiving allo-HSCT.
The OvIP1 study is designed to examine how drug dose and perfusion temperature affect the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of cisplatin used as (hyperthermic) intraperitoneal chemoperfusion, as an adjunct to surgery, in women with stage III epithelial ovarian cancer.
This protocol will assess patients with AL amyloidosis who achieve a complete response (CR) or very good partial response (VGPR) to therapy for minimal residual disease (MRD). Three approaches to MRD testing will be used since there is no established method. The investigators will clone and sequence each patient's light chain (LC) gene and design patient-specific primers to evaluate genomic DNA from future marrow specimens. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) will be used to test baseline and follow-up marrow cell DNA, seeking copy number variations in chromosomes 1 and 2 or 22, and structural variations in chromosomes 11 and 14, consistent with the known genetic abnormalities in AL and with clonal LC gene use. Plasma protein analysis by mass spectrometry will also be used to look for fragmentary protein sequences associated with the culprit LC gene of each subject. The feasibility and predictive value of these three approaches in patients achieving CR or VGPR will be evaluated. This protocol will help provide insight into the ways that the disease changes and progresses. MRD testing is likely an important next step in AL management.
This phase I clinical trial studies the side effects and best dose of CD19-specific T-cells in treating patients with lymphoid malignancies that have spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment. Sometimes researchers change the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) (genetic material in cells) of donated T-cells (white blood cells that support the immune system) using a process called "gene transfer." Gene transfer involves drawing blood from the patient, and then separating out the T-cells using a machine. Researchers then perform a gene transfer to change the T-cells' DNA, and then inject the changed T-cells into the body of the patient. Injecting modified T-cells made from the patient may help attack cancer cells in patients with advanced B-cell lymphoma or leukemia.
This is a prospective descriptive monocentric study whose purpose is to describe the clonal evolution of the mutational pattern in cfDNA of a cohort of patients with Diffuse Large B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas (DLBCL) before, during and after standard treatment
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of three types of perioperative analgesia on the number of circulating cancer cells (representing minimal residual disease) following radical colon cancer surgery. Patients will be randomized into one of three groups. The intervention group will receive combined regional and general anesthesia during surgery and postoperative epidural analgesia. The two control groups will receive balanced general anesthesia and either morphine-based or piritramide-based postoperative analgesia. We hypothesize that epidural analgesia will be favorable to both piritramide-based and morphine-based analgesia and that piritramide-based analgesia will be favorable to morphine-based analgesia with regard to the number of circulating cancer cells and its development in the early postoperative period.
The present study aims at studying how safe and tolerable a new therapy for patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is. This new therapy consists of an immunotherapy, that is an approach focusing on the immune system, and it targets ALL patients in complete remission but who may still have the disease at a cellular level (this is called 'minimal residual disease'). For any further information, please, discuss with your treating physician.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety of the triple COG schema with the monoclonal antibody Dinutuximab + cytokines (GM-CSF and IL2) and isotretinoin (13-cis-retinoic acid, or RA) in patients with high-risk neuroblastoma.
