Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) of bone is a benign-tumor-like osteolytic lesion in childhood and adolescence, which is characterized by the aberrant activation of antigen presenting cells. Rather than the multi-system involvements of LCH, no standard or widely-accepted therapeutic regimens were established for LCH of bone. In the previous clinical practice, several LCH patients obtained remarkable pain relief after taking prednisone. Therefore, the investigators aim to conducting a multi-center, open-labelled, randomized-controlled, Phase II study to investigate the efficacy and safety of oral prednisone in treating LCH of bone in children and adolescents. The enrolled patients will be randomly recruited to the following groups: (1) Oral prednisone [Test group); (2) Regular observation [Control group].
This is a rare disease, single-arm, open-label,multi-center, non-randomized Phase 2 clinical study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetic characteristics of FCN-159 monotherapy in pediatric patients with refractory/recurrent Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH).
The purpose of the study is to describe the burden of chronic health conditions, psychological dysfunction, chronic pain, healthcare utilization, worse health-related quality of life, overall mortality, and cause-specific mortality among individuals with histiocytic disorders
This phase II trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose and activity of tovorafenib (DAY101) in treating patients with Langerhans cell histiocytosis that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive), has come back (relapsed) after previous treatment, or does not respond to therapy (refractory). Langerhans cell histiocytosis is a type of disease that occurs when the body makes too many immature Langerhans cells (a type of white blood cell). When these cells build up, they can form tumors in certain tissues and organs including bones, skin, lungs and pituitary gland and can damage them. This tumor is more common in children and young adults. DAY101 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Using DAY101 may be effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory Langerhans cell histiocytosis.
This is a research study among patients with Rosai-Dorfman disease.
From January 2010 to December 2014, 150 children with MS-LCH were treated in our hospital following a LCH II (Arm B) based protocol. Treatment was based on a modification of the LCH-II (Arm B) based protocol. However, the continuation treatment was extended to 56 weeks and etoposide was omitted from the continuation treatment. For the 59 patients with RO involvement (RO+) (the lungs are not considered a RO in the current study), the rapid response rate (week 6) was 61.0% and the 3-year overall survival (OS) 73.4±5.9%. Rapid responders had a better 3-year survival rate than poor responders (90.9±5.0% vs. 45.7±11.0%, P<0.001). The 3-year OS in the current study is 10~20% lower than the rates reported by Gadner et al. and Morimoto et al.. We have not yet adopted effective salvage therapies for RO+ patients with recurrent disease. During the time of this study, cladribine was unavailable. Second-line therapy for non-responders or patients with disease reactivation was individualized treatment based on the physician's experience. An effective salvage therapy is essential for this high-risk group. For 91without RO involvement (RO-), 78 patients (85.7%) were rapid responders at week 6. The 3-year cumulative reactivation rate was 10.7% for RO- patients. No death occurred in this subgroup, with a 3-year OS of 100% in RO- patients. Compared to the LCH II and LCH III trials, the current study had a more intensive initial treatment regimen for RO- patients. However, the addition of etoposide to prednisone and vincristine in the initial therapy did not increase the 6-week response rate for RO- patients (85.7% in this study compared to 83% in the LCH II study and 86% in the LCH III study). Surprisingly, with a relatively intense initial treatment, a relatively low 3-year cumulative reactivation rate was observed in RO- patients in the current study. This result suggests that the initial treatment intensity and duration of continuation therapy both impact disease reactivation. The intensity of induction can affect the degree of disease resolution. Insufficient treatment intensity might lead to late relapse. Similarity to that observed has been in other childhood hematological malignancies. This finding deserves to be tested in prospective clinical trials with long-term follow-up. Cytarabine has been applied for patients with LCH but has never been evaluated in our hospital prospectively. In this study, we administer a cytarabine contained protocol to patients with multisystem involvement with or without risk organs involvement. The treatment results will be compared with our historical studies.
The long-term outcomes of adult patients with pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (PLCH), particularly survival, is largely unknown. This is the first prospective study in the field evaluating the long-term outcomes of PLCH patients. This french countrywide registry-based study included a large cohort of PLCH patients followed for a sufficiently long period to address risk factors of long-term outcomes of PLCH patients.
This is a multicenter, retrospective and prospective, observational, no profit study including adult patients with LCH, diagnosed starting from January 2001 to two years after the first enrolled patient. Each patient will be followed up to one year after the last enrolled patient. Each patient will be followed up to one year after the last enrolled patient.This study plans to collect clinical information at the time of diagnosis and at various follow-ups to evaluate the efficacy of first-line therapies. Diagnostic and therapeutic data will be collected from routine clinical evaluations and laboratory and instrumental investigations carried out during clinical practice
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare, heterogeneous histiocytic disorder occurring in patients of all ages from neonates to the elderly. The current standard treatment protocol for children with de novo multisystem LCH is vinblastine plus prednisone. This regimen has never been proven effective for adults in a prospective study, since the only prospective trial evaluating the efficacy of a vinblastine/prednisone regimen in adults was prematurely closed due to unacceptable toxicities. A retrospective study showed an advantage for cytarabine monotherapy compared with vinblastine/prednisone in bone LCH patients. This phase 2, prospective, single-center study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cytarabine monotherapy in adults with newly diagnosed MS-LCH or LCH with multifocal single system (SS-m) involvement.
