Filter by:The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if intensive chemotherapy (with monoclonal antibody therapy in some patients) given for 8 courses over 5 to 6 months followed by monthly maintenance chemotherapy for 2 ½ years can improve or cure acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or lymphoblastic lymphoma.
This randomized clinical trial is studying giving calaspargase pegol together with combination chemotherapy to see how well it works compared with giving pegaspargase together with combination chemotherapy in treating younger patients with newly diagnosed high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells.
Treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia achieves high cure rate, but is potentially neurotoxic. Long-term neurologic morbidity in survivors and its effect on function are inadequately studied. Neurologic outcomes will be assessed through an investigator administered questionnaire followed by comprehensive neurologic examination by the study neurologist.
A dose-escalation study to estimate maximum cummulative dose (MTCD) of CAT-8015 that can be safely administered to a participant.
The purpose of this study is to learn about possible changes in brain anatomy and in thinking abilities, such as memory skills, in patients with cancer who receive treatment with chemotherapy alone or in combination with total body radiation before undergoing stem cell transplantation.
The objective of this study was to assess the bioequivalence of a potential generic 6-mercaptopurine 50 mg tablet formulation compared with GlaxoSmithKline Purinethol® (mercaptopurine) 50-mg scored tablets following a single 50 mg oral dose administered in the fasted state.
Phase II multicentric study comparing VAD regimen with continuous infusion over 96 hours of doxorubicin, vincristine and dexamethasone to a 90 minutes infusion of equivalent doses of Dox li-PEG, bolus infusion of vincristine and dexamethasone
Children surviving some types of cancer have a higher risk of developing learning problems after cancer treatment than do children who have not had cancer or its treatment. Cancer treatment may cause problems with learning, attention, and memory. The purpose of this study is to identify brain changes that may underlie learning problems in cancer survivors and investigate whether methylphenidate (a stimulant medication) may reduce these problems. Subjects who have had treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or a brain tumor will be asked to take part in this research study. Siblings of some subjects will also be asked to take part, so that their results can be compared with those of children who have had cancer treatment. We hypothesize that children receiving more aggressive therapy will have lower white matter brain volumes and these volumes will be significantly lower than age-matched siblings. We also hypothesize that children who take methylphenidate will show improvements on teacher and parent report measures of attention and social skills.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE®) Blinatumomab (MT103) is effective in the treatment of ALL patients with minimal residual disease.
The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrences of respiratory symptoms risk factors and abnormalities in lung function in young children (3-6 years old) with hemato-oncologic diseases at presentation (before treatment) and up to 3 years follow-up (study period).
