Filter by:Development of a second neoplasm (SMN) during or after therapy for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a rare event generally associated with a poor prognosis. In this international study we analyze subtypes of SMN in relation to their initial leukemia characteristics and treatment, and their subsequent overall survival.
The purpose of this study is to determine the dose of the bispecific T cell engager blinatumomab (MT103) in pediatric and adolescent patients with relapsed/refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and to assess whether this dose of blinatumomab is effective.
A minority of patients with adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) relapse are rescued. The aim of this population-based study was to assess the results of reinduction treatment and allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) in second complete remission (CR) in Sweden 2003-2007.
The purpose of this study is to confirm whether the bispecific T cell engager antibody blinatumomab (MT103) is effective and safe in the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL).
This is a multicentric, prospective pilot trial testing a Clofarabine-Cyclophosphamide combination to treat refractory and first bone marrow relapse adult ALL, for the achievement of a complete remission (CR) and the concurrent evaluation of biological response in ALL cells (minimal residual disease, apoptosis and DNA cell damage, pharmacogenomics).
Evolving paradigms in the treatment of adult ALL include the application of intense pediatric regimens to the treatment of adolescents and young adults (AYA) and the optimization of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in the cure of patients. The Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) and the Children's Cancer Group (CCG) first asked whether AYA between the ages of 16 and 20 fared differently whether they were treated on pediatric protocols. The results of this study demonstrated that although the complete remission rates were identical for the AYAs treated on the CALGB and CCG trials, the AYAs had a 63% event-free survival (EFS) and 67% OS at 7 years on the CCG trials compared with 34% and 46%, respectively, on the CALGB trials. High relapse and transplantation-related-mortality still remains great challenge for HSCT of adult ALL, which both range between 25% and 30%. Recently, risk-adapted indication and optimization of conditioning regimen are highlighted, which aiming to reduce TRM and relapse rate, respectively.City of Hope National Medical Center studied the substitution of etoposide (VP-16) for CY in the treatment of ALL patients receiving HCT. The result suggested that etoposide and TBI are associated with a decreased relapse rate following transplantation for ALL, compared with those receiving CY and TBI. Japanese and Germany reports pronounced the advantage of VP-16 in intensified regimen for adult ALL. On the same time, the investigators previous researches have confirmed the effect and safety of FA-intensified conditioning regimen on relapse and refractary leukemia. Based on mentioned above, the investigators speculate that VP-16-intensified conditioning regimen could improve the outcome for adult ALL. The potential mechanism will be attributed to reduce MRD and promote GVL effect via providing enough time-window for immuno-reconstitution by high-dose preparative regimen.
Specific Aim: Compare the endothelial function, arterial stiffness and components of metabolic syndrome of childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) survivors to healthy sibling controls. Plan: A cross sectional study comparing ALL survivors to sibling controls including measures of endothelial function and arterial stiffness obtained form a peripheral artery tonometry device, height, weight, waist circumference, fasting lipid, glucose and insulin.
This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well combination chemotherapy and ponatinib hydrochloride work in treating patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, vincristine sulfate, doxorubicin hydrochloride, and dexamethasone, 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. Ponatinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving combination chemotherapy and ponatinib hydrochloride may be an effective treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
The purpose of this study is to create a model enabling us to predict pancreatitis, hyperlipidemia and hepatotoxicity during treatment with PEG-Asparaginase in children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
The purpose of the study is to determine the utility of XCL1 in the prognosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
