View clinical trials related to Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia.
Filter by:Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) diagnosis is based on the demonstration of a BCR-ABL fusion transcript expressed by the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome by RQ-PCR and/or the demonstration of t(9;22)(q34;q11) by conventional karyotyping or interphase FISH. As per standard practice, response to therapy is monitored using either molecular or cytogenetic tests or both; specifically, patients are monitored by quantitative PCR on peripheral blood, supplemented by bone marrow karyotyping if it was clinically indicated. ABL kinase mutational analysis is carried out when the transcript ratio has increased over two sequential samples or on clinical demand. Testing for T315I mutation is also performed for patients who fail to respond to first line TKI and all patients who acquire TKI resistance over the course of their treatment. Data collection is initiated six months after date of diagnosis; research nurses working to agreed operating procedures and data standards visit each of the 14 hospitals in the region and abstract a core clinical dataset from the patients' medical records. The information collected includes demographic details, baseline blood count data and first line treatment. All details are abstracted onto structured forms and entered onto the web-based system, which integrates Haematological Malignancy Research Network (HMRN) and Haematological Malignancy Diagnostic Service (HMDS) data. An important feature of data acquisition is the emphasis on primary source information; data from radiology reports, blood tests, clinical examination, and clinician summaries are recorded, enabling embedded algorithms in the database system to automatically generate stage and prognostic scores. Further data abstraction from the medical records has been undertaken to capture information on subsequent treatment lines. Information on date and cause of death were obtained from the National Health Service (NHS) Central Register.
The objectives of this study are to describe patient demographics, clinical and disease characteristics and treatment patterns of Chronic Lymphoid Leukaemia (CML) in Hungary. The primary endpoint of this study is the overall survival of CML patients treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors in Hungary. The Overall Survival (OS) of all enrolled patients, OS by sequence pattern and by the number of treatment lines will be analyzed. Secondary objectives are description of the treatment length in 1st and later lines, incidence and prevalence of CML, the patient demographics (as age, gender, comorbidities), average number of patients' comorbidities, most frequent comorbidities and patient number with comorbidities at baseline and at different treatment lines by investigated Thyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI), distribution of the investigated TKI therapies by treatment lines
The purpose of this study is to describe the efficacy and safety of bosutinib in patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia used in a real world setting
WT1 TCR gene therapy is a new treatment for acute myeloid leukaemia and chronic myeloid leukaemia. Patient's white blood cells (T cells) are modified to specifically fight the leukaemia cells by transferring a gene into the T cells, which allows them to recognize fragments of a protein called WT1. This protein is present on the surface of leukaemia cells at very high levels. The gene transferred to the T cells enables them to make a new T cell receptor (TCR), which will allow them to attack leukaemia cells with high levels of WT1 on their surface. Using this form of gene therapy the investigators can convert some of the patient's immune system's own T cells into T cells that the investigators hope will be much more effective at recognizing and killing leukaemia cells.
This trial investigates stem cell transplants from partially mismatched donors in patients with blood and bone marrow cancers. The trial will test two kinds of transplants - a full intensity transplant using a high dose of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and a reduced intensity transplant with lower doses of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Patients will be entered for the treatment pathway that is most appropriate for their level of health and fitness
The GIMEMA CML Working Party promotes an observational (retrospective and perspective) study of Imatinib-resistant or intolerant CML patients treated with Nilotinib in Italy. Enrollment will include all patients who started Nilotinib between January 2005 and December 2012. Patients will be followed for 4 years since treatment start. After this time, survival data, disease status and treatment will be recorded at 6-months-interval. This study will help the definition of guidelines for a proper management of Nilotinib in any-phase CML patients.
Background: Complete molecular remission under imatinib, therapeutic interruption possible for patients in complete remission proved in different trials. Purpose: Stopping imatinib in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in complete molecular remission during two following years. The objectives of this study are to determine the rate of patients without a molecular relapse and so the rate of molecular relapse, to determine and to seek for clinical and biological CML-related factors predictive for a molecular relapse after imatinib discontinuation. These objectives require to increase the number of study patients to be enrolled for accurate statistical considerations. It will allow to predict which patients have to be proposed for discontinuation without risk of molecular relapse and to select the patients who need to continue or reinforce the treatment to achieve a complete long term eradication of the disease.
