Patients with acute myeloid leukemia aged 65-75 have a very poor prognosis, irrespective of the treatment strategy, including demethylating agents or conventional chemotherapy. With these approaches, remission rates do not exceed 40%, and overall disease-free survival at 1 year is in the order of 15%. The hypothesis is that up-front allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant will produce a complete remission rate of 60% on day +56-70, and disease-free survival at 1 year of 30%. This is a single arm phase II study of upfront allogeneic stem cell transplantation, for patients with acute myeloid leukemia aged 65-75: the primary endpoint is a complete remission rate on day +56-70. The secondary endpoint is a 1-year overall disease-free survival of 30%.
An observational, prospective study to describe the rates and predictors of cardiovascular events in patients with acute leukemia.
Clinical efficacy of FLT3 inhibitors combining with chemotherapy is usually transient and followed by emergence of drug-resistance in FLT3-ITD mutant AML. BTK is reported to be a therapeutic target in this subtype leukemia. Our previous study showed inhibition of BTK onvercome drug-resistance to FLT3 inhibitors/chemotherapy in refractory/relapsed FLT3 mutant AML. In this prospective randomized controlled study, the efficacy and safety of combination of BTK inhibitor with chemotherapy with/without FLT3 inhibitor in refractory/relapsed FLT3 mutant AML are evaluated.
This trial is a single-center, non-blind, two-arm randomized prospective controlled trial to compare the effectiveness of two induction chemotherapy regimens (high-dose cytarabine plus daunorubicin [HDAC] vs. cytarabine plus high-dose daunorubicin [AD]) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The primary hypothesis of the study is that AD is superior to HDAC in terms of event-free survival (EFS, time from registration to induction failure, relapse, or death).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety, feasibility and maximum tolerated dose of NK cells cultured in vitro as adjuvant treatment of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia candidates to allogenic bone marrow transplantation or refractory to conventional treatment.
Background: Leukapheresis is a procedure to separate and collect white blood cells. It is the first step in a treatment called CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) T-cell therapy. CAR-T therapy may be offered to people when their cancer comes back. The collected T-cells are used to make a special version of T-cells called CARs. Researchers want to collect these cells from people who may become eligible for a CAR T-cell study in the future. Objective: To identify people who have a high likelihood to benefit from CAR T-cell therapy early in their disease course and collect and store a T-cell product. Eligibility: People ages 4-39 with a form of leukemia or lymphoma that has not been cured by standard therapy Design: Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, and blood and urine tests. Review of existing MRI, x-ray, pathology specimens/reports or CT images may be done. On this study, participants will have leukapheresis. A needle will be placed into the arm. Blood will be collected and go through a machine. White blood cells will be taken out by the machine. The plasma and red cells will be returned to the participant through a second needle in the other arm. The procedure will take 4-6 hours. Some participants may have a central line (catheter) inserted which is needed to do the leukapheresis procedure, instead of the needles in the arms-especially if they are smaller. For a central line placement, a long thin tube is inserted through a small incision into the main blood vessel leading into the heart that would allow access to the blood to do the leukapheresis procedure. Participants cells will be processed and frozen for future use in a CAR T-cell therapy study.
This prospective multicenter clinical study was designed to assess the efficacy and safety of decitabine in combination with low-dose cytarabine induction treatment for elderly patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
This is a phase II, open-label, non-randomized, prospective study of haploidentical transplantation using KIR-favorable donors for children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). The relationship of KIR2DL1 polymorphisms to survival in children with these diseases undergoing any approach to allogeneic HCT during the study time frame will also be determined.
Study Design: Treatment, Randomized, Open Label, Parallel Assignment This study is an open randomized and controlled trial aiming at assessing the efficacy and safety of Idarubicin (IDA) at different doses of 8mg/m2 and 10mg/m2 combined with cytarabine as induction therapy for newly diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML). All the recruited patients are allocated to group A ( 8mg/m2 group) or group B ( 10mg/m2) in random. It is advised that induction therapy should begain not late than 3 days after randomization. The regimens in detail can be refered in the therapy protocol.
