Filter by:Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) is the only curative treatment for many paediatric and young adult haematological pathologies (acute leukaemia, myelodysplastic syndromes haemoglobinopathies, bone narrow aplasia, severe combined immunodeficiency). Despite the major therapeutic progress made over the last 50 years, particularly in terms of supportive care, post-transplant morbidity and mortality remain high. Infectious complications, whose incidence varies between 30 and 60%, are the first cause of mortality in the immediate post-transplant period. In order to protect the patient from the occurence of severe infectious episodes, aHSCT must be performed in a highly protected environment (positive pressure chambers). This has consequences for the experience and impact of hospitalization on the patient and family. This is particularly true in pediatrics, with children, adolescents or young adults, where it is not only the patient's quality of life that is at stake, but also his emotional and psychomotor development. In this specific population, prolonged hospitalization (at least 6 weeks) in a sterile room will be responsible for physical deconditioning accompanied by a decrease in muscle mass. Patients often experience an deteriorated quality of life. Today, the benefits of physical activity (PA) during and after cancer treatment have been widely demonstrated. The objective of the study is to assess the feasibility of an adapted physical activity program during the isolation phase for achieving aHSCT in children, adolescents and young adults. This is a prospective, interventional, monocentric cohort study conducted at the institute of Paediatric Haematology and Oncology in Lyon. The intervention will take place during the isolation phase and will be based on an adapted physical activity (APA) program defined at inclusion, integrating supervised sessions with an APA teacher, as well as autonomous sessions performed by means of a connected bike in the sterile room. The program will be individualized according to age, aerobic capacities, and PA preferences. Sessions will also be tailored to the biological, psychological, and social parameters of patients. The total duration of the intervention is 3 months. To date, no PA studies have been performed in patients under 21 years old requiring aHSCT during the sterile isolation phase. EVAADE will therefore be the first study in this population to offer an innovative procedure with a connected device.
Multicenter single arm study to assess the safety and efficacy of allogeneic transplantation using cryopreserved bone marrow from deceased MMUD and PTCy, sirolimus and MMF for GVHD prophylaxis.
This is a single-arm, phase I/II, study of PTCy/sirolimus plus VIC-1911 to prevent GVHD and relapse after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (alloHCT).
Reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) has emerged and been increasingly adopted as a modality to allow preparative conditioning pre transplant to be tolerated by older adults or those patients that are otherwise unfit for myeloablative conditioning. In this study, we aim to use RIC followed by matched related/unrelated donor, 7/8 matched related/unrelated donor, or haploidentical donor peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. Standard strategies to control the alloreactivity following HCT utilize immunosuppressive or cytotoxic medications. In this study, we explore donor graft engineering to enrich for immmunoregulatory populations to facilitate post transplantation immune reconstitution while minimizing graft versus host disease (GVHD) with post-transplant immunosuppressive agents.
Compared with patients with philadelphia chromosome-negative Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Ph- ALL), patients with Ph-positive (Ph+) ALL exhibit a comparatively poor prognosis. Fortunately, significant improvements have been found in response rates, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) for patients with Ph+ ALL with the introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy to treatment regimens. Based on improvements in efficacy and tolerability, next-generation TKIs have been widely used in first-line treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Flumatinib, a TKI with more potent binding affinity for BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase than imatinib, demonstrated higher rates of responses, faster and deeper responses in FESTnd trial, which suggested that flumatinib might show improved clinical efficacy for treating Ph+ ALL compared with imatinib. The investigators therefore hypothesized that the addition of flumatinib to combinatorial chemotherapy regimen would demonstrate greater efficacy compared with the prior use of imatinib in treating Ph+ ALL. This study explored the safety and efficacy of flumatinib versus imatinib when combined with multi-agent chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed Ph+ ALL.
This is a multi-phase, multi-center, single arm, prospective study designed to establish the safety and efficacy of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-mismatched unrelated cryopreserved deceased donor bone marrow transplantation (BMT) with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide for patients with hematologic malignancies.
This study evaluates the risks and experience of blood clots and bleeding in patients with blood cancers. While it is standard of care to use medications to reduce the risk of blood clots in hospitalized individuals, some patients with blood cancers have low platelet counts that can increase the concern for bleeding complications associated with these medications. At this time, the optimal management strategies for blood clots are not well known for patients with blood cancers. This pilot study evaluates additional information that could help doctors know which patients are at highest risk for blood clots.
This study is a multi-site, prospective performance study to determine equivalency between the investigational OneFlow Acute Leukemia Panel on the FACSLyric system versus the final clinical diagnosis.
Mortality in case of SARS-CoV-2 infection (Covid-19) during acute leukemia (AL) treatment is around 30%, i.e. more than 10 times the one of general population. Severe forms are reported in children receiving chemotherapy for AL. However, the main risk, largely underestimated, is related to delay in chemotherapy administration in case of infection, leading to an increased risk of relapse. Therefore, it is justified to propose an anti-Covid-19 vaccination to these patients. Vaccination of siblings also seems necessary given the uncertainty regarding vaccine response in children with AL and given that household is the main source of contamination. The messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine COMIRNATY® (BNT162b2) is already approved by health authorities for individuals older than 12. In immunocompromised children with AL, safety and efficacy data are unknown. The benefit/risk balance encourages to use the vaccine without health authority approval in children aged 1 to 15 with AL. Regarding household, parents are vaccinated for several months as standard of care, but vaccination will be proposed to siblings aged 12 to 15 years old in this protocol. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate safety and immunogenicity of COMIRNATY® (BNT162b2) vaccine (two injections 21-28 days apart) in children with acute leukemia (1 to 15 years old) and their siblings (≥12-15 years old). A secondary objective of the study is to compare the quality of humoral and cellular vaccine responses in children with AL and healthy children.
This is a prospective, multi-center, Phase II study of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) using human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-mismatched unrelated donors (MMUD) for peripheral blood stem cell transplant in adults and bone marrow stem cell transplant in children. Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy), tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) will be used for for graft versus host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. This trial will study how well this treatment works in patients with hematologic malignancies.
