Filter by:The purpose of the study is to find out the efficacy of an anti-emetic drug, Aprepitant as an add-on therapy to prevent vomiting in children and adolescents receiving chemotherapy for leukemia (AML). Children and adolescents admitted with confirmed diagnosis of AML will be assessed for eligibility criteria and enrolled in the study. Then they will be divided (randomized) into experimental and control groups. Experimental group will receive Aprepitant capsules 1 h prior to chemotherapy on days 1-3 in addition to ondansetron. Patients will be required to swallow the whole capsule and opening of capsule will not be permitted. All three doses will be administered under supervision. Control group will receive ondansetron (0.15 mg/kg) as an intravenous bolus 30 minutes before chemotherapy followed by every 8 hourly for 8 days. Metoclopramide will be used as a rescue agent. The data will be collected from each patient in a proforma from day 1 to day 13 of chemotherapy. A Diary will be maintained for nausea and vomiting record. Edmonton's symptom assessment criterion will be used in the diary for assessing severity of nausea. The NCI guidelines will be used to assess the severity of vomiting based on the data provided by the patient in the diary. A modified intention-to-treat population (patients who receive chemotherapy, take one or more doses of study drug, and have one or more post treatment measurements) will be used for efficacy analysis. Proportion of patients with complete response will be compared between patients with or without aprepitant.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to study genetically engineered NK92 cell therapy in treating patients with CD33 positive acute myeloid leukemias that is relapsed (after stem cell transplantation or intensive chemotherapy) or refractory to further chemotherapy.
In this multi-center, randomized, open-label, prospective clinical trial, a total of 60 relapsed/refractory AML patients will be randomized into 2 groups. In the experimental arm, patients receive IAC regimen. In the control arm, patients receive other physician-directed regimen. The primary end point is complete remission rate.
The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of G-CSF combination with GM-CSF on prevention and treatment of infection in children with malignant tumor.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether Fludarabine in combination with cytarabine is more effective than high-dose cytarabine in post-remission therapy for patients with core-binding factor acute myeloid leukemia
This study is to test a new therapy for patients with acute myeloid leukaemia who are undergoing blood stem cell transplant. In this study, the investigators will take a small number of your immune cells whose normal function is to give immunity to infections and help to fight leukaemia. These cells will be stimulated to multiply in the laboratory and will then be given to the transplant recipient after the transplant. This is a sort of "immunity transplant". The exact purpose of this study is to investigate if these cells are safe and effective in patients having a transplant for AML.
The aim of this study is to test a complementary therapy intervention (reflexology) that will assist in improving quality of life (QOL) for patients undergoing chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia. within the context of conventional medical care. Quality of life will be assessed via intermediate indicators: 1) physical indicators (greater physical functioning, lower presence of symptoms) 2) emotional indicators (greater spirituality, lower anxiety, and lower depressive symptomology); by a specific questionnaire. 3) chemotherapy side effects associated with the digestive system.
Anemia concerns a lot of patients with cancer and affects their quality of life (QOL). Numerous studies in oncology have demonstrated the benefit of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA) in the treatment of anemia. ESAs allow the improvement of QOL,of the hemoglobin level (Hb) and is a validated alternative to transfusion. However, in hematology, if there are some specific recommendations for the use of ESAs in lymphoid pathology, there are none for myeloid disorders and in the context of autografts and allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT). Thus, the investigators are in particular interested in both indications: treatment of anemia in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients treated with chemotherapy, and the in patients receiving a myeloablative or a non-myeloablative conditioning before allogeneic HSCT, whatever type of donor and cell source.
Patients will receive oral SKLB1028 for 28 days to study the side effects, tolerability and best dose for treating relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia With FLT3 Mutations.
The trial will be conducted as a multicentre open label, randomised prospective phase II clinical trial in patients with high risk myeloid malignancies. The primary objective is to evaluate whether prophylactic donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI) delivered as part of a planned schedule improves the disease free survival of patients with myeloid malignancies.
