Filter by:This is a biological study. Patients who are eligible to receive Shingrix through the Italian National Health System will be invited to participate in the study. According to AIFA indication, the two doses of vaccine will be administered 4-8 weeks apart. Blood samples will be collected prior to the first vaccine dose (i.e. within the time frame of 3 months prior to the first dose) and 1, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months after the second vaccine dose to evaluate the serological response of Shingrix.
Most cases of Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) remain an incurable disease with the goal of therapy being to improve quality of life and to prolong survival. This study will evaluate the participant's related outcomes and experience of CLL in adult participants who are treated in the Japan. Study participants will receive oral treatments of Venetoclax±Rituximab for CLL as prescribed by their study doctor in accordance with approved local label. Adult participants prescribed various treatments Venetoclax±Rituximab will be enrolled. Around 89 participants will be enrolled in the study in sites in Japan. Participants will receive oral venetoclax tablets ± intravenously (IV) infused rituximab treatments for CLL according to the approved local label. The overall study duration will be 27 months. There is expected to be no additional burden for participants in this trial. All study visits will occur during routine clinical practice.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), also referred to as acute myelogenous leukemia or acute non-lymphocytic leukemia, is a relatively rare, yet aggressive, type of cancer. This study will evaluate treatment patterns, treatment outcomes, healthcare resource utilization in adult participants with AML receiving venetoclax. Data from up to 700 participants will be collected. No participants will be enrolled in this study. Participants' charts will be reviewed. No drug will be administered as a part of this study. The duration of the observation period is up to 10 months. There is no additional burden for participants in this trial. All visits must be completed prior to data extraction and participants will be followed for up to 10 months.
The goal of this clinical trial is to measure the effects of using a storybook versus standard child life intervention with parents of children newly diagnosed with leukemia on parental stress. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What effect will the storybook have on parent/legal guardian stress at three timepoints: baseline, discharge, and follow up? - Will this storybook impact parent/legal guardian comfort levels and improve their child's understanding? Participants will be asked to complete surveys at three timepoints, prior to and following child life intervention and about 3.5 months later. During child life interventions, participants will receive resources and support to explain leukemia to their school aged, 3-16-year-old, child (patient or sibling). Researchers will compare Intervention and Control Groups to see if parental stress is lower in those who received the storybook in addition to the standard child life intervention versus the standard child life intervention alone.
Following and implementing innovations and current developments in care practices for children diagnosed with leukemia and their parents will allow the quality of care to increase. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effect of web-based education given to parents of children diagnosed with leukemia on their knowledge level, satisfaction and self-efficacy. The research is a single-blind randomized controlled experimental research type. The research will be conducted in a single center, Ankara Bilkent City Hospital MH4 Children's Hospital Hematology-Oncology Clinics and Leukemia Polyclinic. The population of the research consists of parents of children diagnosed with leukemia between the ages of 2-18 who are followed and treated in the specified places. The sample of the research consists of 72 participants, 36 in the experimental group (the group that received web-supported training) and 36 in the control group (the group that continued routine treatment). The consent of the parents who meet the research criteria and voluntarily agree to participate in the study will be obtained with the "Informed Voluntary Consent Form" and the parents in both the experimental group and the control group will be given the "Child and Parent Introductory Information Form", "Child with Leukemia Parent Information Level Pre-Test Evaluation Form". ", "Generalized Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale" will be applied. Once the sufficient number is reached, web-based training will be provided to the parents in the experimental group. "Parents of Children with Leukemia Knowledge Level Post-Test Evaluation Form", "Generalized Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale" and "Web-Based Parents of Children with Leukemia Training Satisfaction Evaluation Form" will be applied to the parents who complete the training. No intervention will be made to the parents in the control group, and the children will continue their routine care and treatment process. The "Child with Leukemia Parent Knowledge Level Posttest Evaluation Form" and the "Generalized Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale" will also be applied to the parents in the control group.
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of iadademstat when given together with azacitidine and venetoclax in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Iadademstat inhibits the LSD1 protein and may lead to inhibition of cell growth in LSD1-overexpressing cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as azacitidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Giving iadademstat with azacitidine and venetoclax may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with newly diagnosed AML who cannot undergo intensive chemotherapy.
CXCR4 inhibition may represent a new therapeutic strategy in acute leukemia (AL) patients, not only by increasing chemosensitivity but also by preventing relapse of the disease by disruption of the interaction of residual leukemic cells with the bone marrow niche. Radiolabeled CXCR4 ligands have been developed for PET imaging (68Ga-PentixaFor; INN: Gallium (68Ga) boclatixafortide) and radioligand therapy (RLT) ([177Lu]Lu-PentixaTher/[90Y]Y-PentixaTher). [177Lu]Lu and [90Y]Y-PentixaTher have been tested in three multiple myeloma patients in named-patient use with a remarkable efficacy in 2 patients (Herrmann, 2016). Moreover, feasibility of CXCR4 PET imaging in AML was reported, providing a framework for future theranostic approaches targeting the CXCR4/CXCL12-defined leukemia-initiating cell niche (Herhaus, 2016). Here a Phase I/II study to determine maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of a RLT using [177Lu]Lu-PentixaTher in relapsed/refractory AL was designed. This will be a standard phase I/II 3+3 dose escalation study. Five dose levels will be tested, so 6 to 21 patients have to be included in the study.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of BIC-19GG, BIC-2019, BIC-2219 in the treatment of relapsed/refractory B acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoblastic lymphoma in children
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the ability to restore gut microbiota to healthier levels in patients with blood cancers scheduled to have stem cell transplant. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Tolerability and acceptability of intestinal microbiota transplantation (IMT) versus placebo (as assessed via patient perspective questionnaires - Changes in gut microbiome diversity across all timepoints - Markers of general health, infective/microbiological and haematological outcomes including, days of fever, admission to intensive care unit, survival, non-relapsed mortality, and incidence of graft-versus-host disease across all time points measured. Participants will be asked at their routine follow up visits to, - Provide stool, urine and blood samples at the scheduled study visits - Complete questionnaires at selected visits - Swallow either Placebo or IMT capsules once at the second study visit which will occur 2 weeks prior to the stem cell transplant (+/-3 days) Researchers will compare IMT capsules and Placebo to investigate the change in gut microbiota diversity.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate The effect of fasting mimicking diet with chemotherapy on the number of blasts and platelets and quality of life in patients with acute lymphoid leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia.
