Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to test passive music therapy in patients receiving induction chemotherapy for an acute myeloblastic leukemia or undergoing an hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can music therapy control physical and psychological symptoms and improve the mood and quality of life of these patients? Participants will be randomly assigned to the control and experimental group. Patients included in both groups will complete weekly mood and quality of life questionnaires. Those included in the experimental group will also complete daily symptom burden questionnaires before and after listening to a music therapy session. Researchers will confirm if the experimental group improves their symptoms after the music therapy session and will compare both groups to see if there are differences in mood and quality of life.
A retrospective study using a new technology will be performed: the Optical Genome Mapping (OGM) on acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) samples stored at the CRB-Cancer of the Bordeaux University Hospital and annotated in the DATAML clinical database. The main objective is to estimate the proportion of AML patients for whom OGM detects at least one additional abnormality compared to conventional techniques. This study will constitute an important step in the validation of COA as a reference technique for cytogenetic analysis in AML, replacing the classical techniques, and could also constitute a first argument for redesigning the prognostic classification of AML.
The COVID-19 epidemic (Coronavirus Disease 2019) currently raging in France is an emerging infectious disease linked to a virus of the genus coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). Epidemiologically, acute myeloblastic leukemias (AML) are the most common of acute leukemias. The incidence of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is 900 new cases in France in 2018, of which 57% in humans. The treatments administered to AML and ALL patients induce variable immunosuppression: neutropenia, neuropathy, deficits in humoral or cellular immunity or combinations of these deficits. Patients with AML or ALL therefore represent a population at high risk of developing a serious form in the event of infection with SARS-CoV-2. To date, no data is available in the literature to assess the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic in the population of patients with acute leukemia. The main objective of the study is to determine the clinical and biological prognostic factors during SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with acute leukemia.
The radio-labeled anti-CD66 monoclonal antibody (with 111In for dosimetry and 90Y for therapy) will be administered in the T11 North room, UCLH, while the reduced intensity conditioning regimen and the allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant will be performed in 2 centers, according to the age of the patient: A) patients aged < 13 years will be transplanted at the Bone Marrow Transplantation Department, Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), and B) patients aged 13-18 years will be transplanted at the Bone Marrow Transplantation Department, University College London Hospitals (UCLH).
This is a preclinical study prior to the establishment of a cell therapy protocol applicable to humans. The main objective is to evaluate the decrease in alloreactivity of TCD4 + population by partial selective depletion of CD4 + CCR7 + graft to less than 50 % of CD4 + totals. To test the alloreactivity of donor T lymphocytes.
The main objective of this observational survey is to estimate the incidence, the typology, and the evolution of patients with acute myelobalstic leukemia, aged more than 60 years old. In this age group (aged more than 60y), three groups of patients with very different response rates and late outcome can be delineated with specific standard chemotherapy.
Standard chemotherapy is capable of eliminating most leukemic blasts in acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML), while leukemia-initiating cells are not sufficiently eradicated. As a consequence, refractory disease and relapse frequently occur in AML, especially in elderly patients. The investigators propose that the addition of temsirolimus may improve standard AML chemotherapy. Furthermore, temsirolimus may specifically target the leukemia-initiating cells in AML, thereby reducing the risk of leukemia relapse. The study's main part is preceded by a open label run-in part, in which optimal temsirolimus dose and schedule for the main part o the study will be determined.
Although transplant results for AML in complete remission (CR) at the time of transplant have improved, transplant results for non-remission AML have been quite poor. Most multi-center studies have focused on standard risk AML patients and not many studies have been done in this population of patients with non-remission AML. There are a large number of older patients with non-remission AML because the complete remission rate with induction chemotherapy decreases with age. Such older patients do not tolerate conventional full intensity conditioning regimens. Thus, an effective and tolerable conditioning regimen for non-remission AML is a great unmet need for current transplant practice. From the investigators earlier study, it is suggested that replacing Fludarabine of standard FluBu4 regimen by Clofarabine (a related drug with much more potent anti-leukemia effect) in the transplant conditioning regimen may potentiate the anti-tumor activity of the conditioning regimen without adding significant toxicity, a goal of new conditioning regimen development. The investigators expect to enroll a total of 75 patients from about fifteen sites. The investigators main objective is to confirm both the safety and efficacy as measured by one-year overall survival, of the CloBu4 combination as full intensity conditioning for non-remission acute myelogenous leukemia.
Second-line induction therapy with fludarabine, idarubicin, cytarabine,Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and plerixafor, in patients with relapsed or refractory Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia (AML) aged 65 or younger.
Results of actual treatment in ALL are not optimal. New prognostic factors, which may determine clinical & molecular response are required. Hyper-CVAD is an internationally accepted schema for such patients. The objective of this pilot study is to evaluate polymorphisms regarding RFC (reduced folate carrier) and MTHFR enzyme, which may affect the function of these proteins, and therefore the intracellular bioavailability of methotrexate. Also, the expression levels of hENT1 and dCK will be evaluated, since such genes codify for citarabine intracellular transport and activation, respectively. Clinical characteristics will be tabulated and analyzed for responders & non-responders patients. Uni- & multivariate analysis will be done to evaluate factors influencing on response and survival.
