Filter by:SIR-POSA is a phase II trial of peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation from a partially compatible family (Haplo) donor in patients with a blood tumor (myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute leukemia) treated for the prevention of primary fungal infections with posaconazole. The aim is evaluate the composite end-point graft-versus-host disease-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) in these patients and evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of posaconazole oral tablets as primary antifungal prophylaxis.
Comorbidity assessment in the field of HCT might be a burden on the medical team at the clinic or the research staff. This research study aims to explore and validate new methods, Claims-based and patient questionnaire-based, as alternatives to the standard chart-based method in order to facilitate comorbidity coding. The study aims to save time and effort of medical personnel and to ensure the inclusion of comorbidity information in all clinical trials and outcome research studies in order to improve the accuracy of treatment decision-making, patient assignment to appropriate HCT strategy and hence HCT outcomes.
To date, studies published on multidimensional rehabilitation programs are addressed to patients with different types of cancer and, frequently, these studies only include a limited number of patients with blood neoplasms. So, there is no evidence of the effectiveness of multidimensional rehabilitation programs in this particular category of patients. A systematic review of the effectiveness of aerobic exercise alone, not associated with therapeutic education, has recently been conducted in adult individuals with hematological malignancies (reference 25386666). The review highlighted the effectiveness of physical activity on the quality of life of the target population. However, the medium and long term effects that physical exercise have on other clinically relevant endpoints, such as fatigue, psychological distress, and physical performance level, remain to be clarified. Thus, it is important to investigate the effectiveness of multidimensional interventions that integrate physical activity to therapeutic education targeted at the specific needs of individuals with blood neoplasm. The aim of this study is to evaluate, in blood cancer patients, the feasibility of a therapeutic education program associated with physical activity, and to verify its effect by a long-term follow-up.
Over the last two decades, the number of patients with hematological malignancies (HMs) admitted to the ICU increased and their mortality has dropped sharply. Patients with HMs increasingly require admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) for life-threatening events related to the malignancy and/or treatments, with immunosuppression being a major contributor. Whether the increase in ICU admissions is related to increased referrals by hematologists and/or to increased admissions by intensivists is unknown. The criteria used for ICU referral and admission decisions have not been extensively evaluated. Finally, the links between admission policies and treatment-limitation decisions are unclear, but ICUs with broad admission policies may change the treatment goals based on the response to several days of full-code management. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of a systematic evaluation by an intensivist of HMs patients presenting with acute respiratory and/or hemodynamic failure.
APG-1387 is a potent, bivalent small-molecule Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein (IAP) antagonist. APG-1387 has shown strong dose- and schedule-dependent antitumor activities in multiple human cancer xenograft models, APG-1387 also demonstrates its synergistic effect in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitor anti-PD-1 antibody, and such a combinatory effect was further enhanced by chemotherapeutic agent. A total of 35 patients with advanced solid tumors or lymphomas have been treated with APG-1387 in two Phase I dose-escalation studies in Australia and in China. Ten dose levels have been tested ranging from 0.3 mg to 45 mg in these two studies. Based on the preliminary results, APG-1387 is well-tolerated at the dose levels evaluated to date. APG-1387 is intended for the treatment of patients with advanced solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. After establishing the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), and/or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), several Ib /II studies will be implemented accordingly to further access the antitumor effects of APG-1387 in combination with either pembrolizumab or the chemotherapeutic agents.
This is a single center, cross-sectional, non-interventional study aimed at the nutritional intake of long-term health of allogeneic or autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) survivors.
The purpose of this signal seeking study is to determine whether treatment with PDR001 and LAG525 demonstrates sufficient efficacy in advanced malignancies to warrant further study.
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the only possible treatment for many malignant and non-malignant hemopathies. The graft-versus-host immunological reaction (GvH) is a frequent and sometimes serious complication. The objective is to study whether a systematic and early follow-up by a lung specialist of allografted patients would allow an earlier diagnosis of GvH with pulmonary complications.
Lymphoid hemopathies are a group of malignant haematological disorders characterized by clonal proliferation of cells of the lymphoid line. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and multiple myeloma (MM) are the most frequently encountered features of lymphoid hemopathies. Duriong the last 35 years the prevalence of these pathologies has increased in France but also in most industrialized countries. This increased can't be solely explained by demographic changes and improvements in diagnostic techniques. As a result, the involvement of environmental and professional factors is strongly suspected. Studies have shown that these diseases are associated with some professions or type of activity, including agricultural occupations, and other sectors such as agriculture, printing, woodworking. Some organic solvents and pesticides have been suspected of being risk factors of hematologic malignancies. Based on cohort studies and case-control studies, some of them have been identified by the International Cancer Research Center as associated with the occurrence of NHL with a sufficient or limited level of evidence. One of the difficulties encountered in the analysis of the literature has been the permanent evolution of the international classification of lymphoid hemopathies over the past 30 years. The old epidemiological studies are therefore difficult to interpret. Lymphoid hemopathies cover a range of different conditions, thus it is likely that carcinogens involved vary according to the type of hemopathy. Finally, environmental and occupational exposures to various chemicals and biological agents have evolved over time. The aim of this study is firstly to develop and validate a questionnaire to identify and quantify exposures to nuisances (substances and agents) suspected of being associated with the occurrence of NHL, MM and LLC. In a second time, this questionnaire will be used as a support for the realization of a subsequent case-control study to improve epidemiological knowledge on these diseases.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and preliminary antitumor activity of AZD4573 in subjects with relapsed or refractory haematological malignancies.
