Filter by:The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the study drug, calaspargase pegol, when given with multi-agent chemotherapy.
An effective treatment for adults and children B-ALL represents a significant unmet need. CN201 has demonstrated efficacy in nonclinical models of leukemia .CN201 has a longer half-life, thus long term continuous intravenous infusion is not necessary for clinical use. The present study will be conducted in 2 parts: Phase Ib is a dose finding phase to identify the RP2D. Phase II will allow further evaluation of the safety and efficacy of CN201 at the RP2D.
To explore the efficiency and safety of CLAG regimen in R/R ALL
This will be a multicenter, national, non-interventional, prospective cohort study
This open-label, single arm Phase I trial aims to determine the safety and tolerability of anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor-expressing (CAR) T cells (UCD19 CAR T) in adults B-ALL that are in first complete remission with minimal residual disease (MRD) positivity. This trial will enroll 10 patients for apheresis and treatment with lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by UCD19 CAR T cell infusion. Patients will be assessed for dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) (within 42 days after CAR T infusion), duration of B cell aplasia, overall response rate (at 1-, 3-, 6- and 12-months), and overall survival and event free survival (at 12- and 24- months) post UCD19 CAR T infusion.
Changing the schedule of intrathecal chemotherapy to be given before and during blinatumomab will maintain the anti-leukemic effects of this drug while at the same time adding the benefit of limiting the neurotoxicity associated with cytokine release.
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer seen in pediatric oncology. The necessary chemotherapy for pediatric and adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients with ALL includes steroids, anthracyclines, asparaginase, and vincristine. One of the most hepatotoxic chemotherapy agents is asparaginase, with treatment-associated hepatotoxicity (TAH) observed in up to 60% of patients. The frequency of TAH is increased in overweight or obese patients of Latino heritage. Carnitine is a naturally-derived compound that is produced in the liver and kidneys; it is found in certain foods, such as meat, poultry, fish, and some dairy products. Endogenous carnitine transports long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are oxidized to produce energy, and acts as scavengers of oxygen free radicals. Thus, carnitine can reduce oxidative stress and modulate inflammatory response. Levocarnitine is a supplement form of carnitine used typically in the care and management of patients with carnitine deficiency. Pediatric and AYAs with ALL will be given oral levocarnitine as a supplement during their initial phases of treatment, when the most hepatotoxic agents are administered, to determine if the incidence of liver toxicity can be reduced or eliminated.
This phase III trial compares hematopoietic (stem) cell transplantation (HCT) using mismatched related donors (haploidentical [haplo]) versus matched unrelated donors (MUD) in treating children, adolescents, and young adults with acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). HCT is considered standard of care treatment for patients with high-risk acute leukemia and MDS. In HCT, patients are given very high doses of chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, which is intended to kill cancer cells that may be resistant to more standard doses of chemotherapy; unfortunately, this also destroys the normal cells in the bone marrow, including stem cells. After the treatment, patients must have a healthy supply of stem cells reintroduced or transplanted. The transplanted cells then reestablish the blood cell production process in the bone marrow. The healthy stem cells may come from the blood or bone marrow of a related or unrelated donor. If patients do not have a matched related donor, doctors do not know what the next best donor choice is. This trial may help researchers understand whether a haplo related donor or a MUD HCT for children with acute leukemia or MDS is better or if there is no difference at all.
Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer in children. About 90% of children and young adults who are treated for ALL can now be cured. But if the disease comes back, the survival rate drops to less than 50%. Better treatments are needed for ALL relapses. Objective: To test chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapy. CARs are genetically modified cells created from each patient s own blood cells. his trial will use a new type of CAR T-cell that is targeting both CD19 and CD22 at the same time. CD19 and CD22 are proteins found on the surface of most types of ALL. Eligibility: People aged 3 to 39 with ALL or related B-cell lymphoma that has not been cured by standard therapy. Design: Participants will be screened. This will include: Physical exam Blood and urine tests Tests of their lung and heart function Imaging scans Bone marrow biopsy. A large needle will be inserted into the body to draw some tissues from the interior of a bone. Lumbar puncture. A needle will be inserted into the lower back to draw fluid from the area around the spinal cord. Participants will undergo apheresis. Their blood will circulate through a machine that separates blood into different parts. The portion containing T cells will be collected; the remaining cells and fluids will be returned to the body. The T cells will be changed in a laboratory to make them better at fighting cancer cells. Participants will receive chemotherapy starting 4 or 5 days before the CAR treatment. Participants will be admitted to the hospital. Their own modified T cells will be returned to their body. Participants will visit the clinic 2 times a week for 28 days after treatment. Follow-up will continue for 15 years....
This clinical trial evaluates a high intensity electronic health (eHealth) intervention program for reducing learning disparities in children with cancer. Most children with leukemia and lymphoblastic lymphoma can be cured due to advancements in diagnosis and treatment. However, because treatments for these conditions target the central nervous system, these children are at increased risk for developing neurocognitive late effects (problems with attention, thinking, learning, and remembering). Fortunately, many survivors do well, but some children continue to struggle with learning and have academic difficulties after their cancer treatments. The purpose of this research study is to see whether providing parents with educational knowledge and parenting tips using videoconferencing and a special website better helps their cancer survivor child in learning and school achievement compared to typical services.
