Filter by:This is a prospective genetically-stratified randomized double-blind event-driven multicentre clinical trial to assess the efficacy of posaconazole-based antifungal prophylaxis allocation strategies for patients with acute myeloid leukemia who receive induction chemotherapy. Allocation strategy based on an invasive mold infection genetic risk will be double-blinded.
A private trial for evaluating the overall response rate contributed by AMPC in AML in refractory or relapsed AML
Among its authorized indications, posaconazole (PCZ) is prescribed for prophylaxis in onco-hematology patients at high risk of invasive fungal infections. This azole antifungal has a low bioavailability. The enteric-coated tablets form available since mid-2015 has significantly improved its pharmacokinetic profile compared to the oral suspension form initially used. According to the recommendations of The European Conference on Infections in Leukemia (ECIL-6), the minimum serum concentration desirable for prophylaxis is 0.7 mg/L. This concentration threshold was difficult to achieve in onco-hematology patients treated with oral suspension. The investigators retrospectively collected and analyzed 201 results of residual PCZ serum concentrations from 91 onco-hematology patients on Noxafil® tablets prophylaxis. The median concentration of PCZ was 1.08 mg/L. In this study, the pharmacokinetics of tablet-PCZ showed significant inter-individual variability. Thus, while 25% of the concentrations remained below the recommended threshold of 0.7 mg/L (25% percentile = 0.69 mg/L), exposure to PCZ was greater than 2.63 mg/L in 10% of cases. This level of exposure, however, did not have obvious hepatic repercussions. Nevertheless, further studies involving larger cohorts are needed to clarify a hypothetical relationship between serum PCZ concentration and the occurrence of hepatic toxicity. In addition, the investigators found significant intra-individual variability in PCZ exposure (CV = 48.8%), especially in leukemic patients. This variability is probably related to a modification during the treatment of the physio-pathological conditions of the patient likely to impact the pharmacokinetics of PCZ (absorption, distribution, metabolism, etc.) as well as the effect of possible pharmacokinetic drug interactions. The metabolism of PCZ is mediated primarily by the uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucuronosyltransferase 1A4 (UGT1A4) pathway. Although hepatic metabolism of PCZ is low compared with other azoles (such as itraconazole or voriconazole), differences in the metabolic capacity of UGT1A4 may alter PCZ exposure. A previous study of the oral suspension form had shown that low concentrations of PCZ were associated with a high ratio of PCZ-glucuronide / PCZ concentrations. Two genetic variants of the gene encoding UGT1A4 are associated with a decrease in the metabolic clearance of glucuronide drugs via UGT1A4. A recent study suggests less exposure to PCZ in the presence of UGT1A4 polymorphism. The main objective of the investigator's project is to study prospectively in a homogeneous population of patients treated by intensive chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia (induction and consolidation) the pharmacokinetics of PCZ administered in its tablet formulation, and in particular: - Clinical and biological tolerance of high concentrations of PCZ - The influence of clinical and demographic covariates on PCZ and PCZ-glucuronide ratio - The influence of genetic variants of UGT1A4 on PCZ metabolism (PCZ-glucuronide / PCZ ratio).
This is an open, single-arm, phase I clinical study to evaluate efficacy and safety of chimeric antigen receptor T cell immunotherapy (CAR-T) targeting CD123 in the treatment of Acute Myelocytic Leukemia. A total of 15 patients are planned to be enrolled following up one year.
Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remains one of the currently available curative therapies for acute leukemia (AL). Leukemia relapse is one of the mainly causes of transplant failure. We reported previously that patients with high-risk molecular biomarkers who still have detectable minimal residual disease(MRD) pre-HSCT were at very high risk of relapse, with cumulative relapse rate of 50-80%. Decitabine has been demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of patients with recurrent or refractory leukemia and myelodysplastiv syndrome. It was reported that the combination of decitabine, with busufan and cyclophosphamide as a preparative regimen for allo-HSCT using HLA-matching donors was safe and effective. In this prospective, single-arm clinical trial, we aimed to examine the efficacy of combining decitabine with modified busulfan and cyclophosphamide (mBU/CY) as a preparative regimen for allo-HSCT in patients with very high-risk AL and detectable MRD pre-HSCT.
Quizartinib is an experimental drug. It is not approved for regular use. It can only be used in medical research. Children or young adults with a certain kind of blood cancer (FLT3-ITD AML) might be able to join this study if it has come back after remission or is not responding to treatment.
This is a multicenter, prospective, translational study, to evaluate the immunogenic profile of AML cases according to immune checkpoint molecule expression.
Phase 1 open-label study to estimate the safety, manufacturing feasibility, and efficacy of intravenously administered, lentivirally transduced T cells expressing anti-CD123 chimeric antigen receptors expressing tandem TCRζ and 4-1BB (TCRζ /4-1BB) costimulatory domains in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) subjects.
Recent preclinical and retrospective clinical data have suggested that dexamethasone might sensitize leukemic cells to chemotherapy-induced cell death and thus limit the risk of leukemic regrowth and relapse. Moreover, it has been experimentally shown that leukemic cells in acute myeloid leukemia patients who relapse become sensitive to glucocorticoids treatment highlighting a novel potential role for dexamethasone in relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R). This study was designed to determine whether adding dexamethasone to standard salvage therapy in the treatment of relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia in adult patients (intensive chemotherapy amsacrine-cytarabine or azacitidine according to investigator's willingness) results in a significant improvement of the overall survival.
This international observational study aims at examining the patterns of health-related quality of life differences between long-term acute myeloid leukemia patients and their healthy peers from the general population.
