The purpose of this study is to determine if adult survivors of childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) enrolled on the SJLife (St. Jude Life) protocol are at increased risk for postural control deficits compared to individuals with no cancer history. All participants will be assessed for their ability to maintain an upright posture, walk at their usual speed, and to tandem walk, all while engaged in a cognitive task. Primary Objective To compare changes in postural control in ALL survivors to changes in postural control in healthy controls, matched on age- and sex- in simple versus complex standing and walking activities (complex: standing or walking with added cognitive load). Secondary Objective To identify demographic and performance related risk factors for decreased postural control during complex standing or walking activities in survivors and controls and to evaluate associations between treatment and the changes in postural control during complex activities among survivors.
This study involves Vyxeos (CPX-351), a formulation of a fixed combination of the two anti-tumor drugs, cytarabine and daunorubicin that will be given as an infusion over 90 minutes. This study will use what is called a "liposome" injection. This is a special fat capsule (called a liposome) that surrounds the cytarabine and daunorubicin and protects the drugs from being eliminated/destroyed by the body.
This Phase I study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and anti-tumor effect of increasing doses of study drug SKI-G-801 in patients with relapsed or refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) who are unresponsive to currently available therapies. Eligible participants will receive cycles of treatment involving IV infusion of SKI-G-801 daily for 14 days followed by 14 days off. Treatment cycles will be repeated until progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity.
This is an open label, multi-center, phase 1 study of DSP-2033 (Alvocidib) in combination with cytarabine/mitoxantrone (ACM regimen) or cytarabine/daunorubicin (A+7+3 regimen) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
The aim of this clinical study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of an individualized peptide vaccination approach in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). For this purpose, tumor-specific mutations are analyzed by comparative exome sequencing of tumor and healthy reference tissue. Expression of variants is further validated by RNA sequencing. In a second step, HLA-binding (human leukocyte antigen-binding) peptides derived from mutated protein sequences are selected for vaccination. The peptides are administered as a vaccination cocktail with adjuvant GM-CSF and Imiquimod over a course of 9 months and a total of 16 vaccinations. Primary objective is the de novo induction of a specific T cell response without unacceptable toxicity and acute GvHD (graft versus host disease).
This study evaluates the pharmacokinetics and safety of CPX-351 in patients with moderate or severe renal impairment.
Over the past decades, advances in treatment have led to an increasing number of children who survive cancer, resulting in a growing population of childhood cancer survivors. After end of cancer treatment on common protocols survivors are enrolled in non-harmonized follow-up programs with frequent visits and blood samples. However, the evidence for the value of these follow-up programs with respect to the effect on detecting relapse and the effects on overall survival is scarce. The aim of the study is to give a comprehensive description of the detection mode of relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), including symptoms and blood test results. Further, we aim to evaluate if the mode of detection affects survival.
The present study aims at obtaining more in-depth information on how patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia treated with idelalisib and rituximab react to treatment.
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a model of targeted therapy for human malignancies. Over the past decade, a broad array of drugs designed to selectively inhibit protein tyrosine kinases (PTK) [i.e., tyrosine kinase inhibitors, (TKI)] have emerged as novel therapies for cancer patients. Hence, CML is an hematopoietic stem cell disorder in which a t(9;22) (q34;q11) reciprocal chromosomal translocation gives rise to Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) and generates the BCR-ABL1 fusion gene encoding a constitutively activated PTK. TKIs, such as imatinib by blocking BCR-ABL1 kinase activity, selectively eradicate CML cells and induce durable responses and prolong survival. CML patients treated with TKI are monitored by quantitative RT-PCR to detect leukemic BCR-ABL1 transcript performed from peripheral blood samples (1). Since TKI treated CML patients have a near-normal life expectancy two important issues must be considered in the future: 1. the quality of life and ethical aspects of a lifetime treatment, 2. the budget impact for healthcare providers of treating patients during lifetime. One of the best ways to consider these two points is to ask the question about stopping TKI in good responder patients. We first reported a pilot study where imatinib was withdrawn in 12 CML patients treated and maintained in complete molecular remission (CMR), defined by undetectable residual disease (with sensitivity of 4.5 log) on quantitative RT-PCR, for at least two years. Then, we demonstrated in a multicenter study entitled STIM trial that imatinib could be safely discontinued in patients with CMR for at least 2 years (2). All molecular relapsing patients were sensitive when imatinib was re-challenged (3). Around 40% of these patients remain in a prolonged treatment-free remission (TFR) after treatment cessation (4). Taking into account the cost of imatinib and the number of months without treatment in STIM trial, the savings in France were estimated to be 9 million €. However, since only 40 % of patients are in treatment free remission, a study, assessing the real budget impact of stopping TKI in the eligible population seems necessary as no published study has ever addressed this question in France. Our aim is to assess the budget impact of discontinuing TKI treatment in patients with CML in deep molecular response since at least two years, compared with treatment during lifetime, from the French healthcare system point of view. This budget impact will be expressed as a "net benefit" and will be based on the difference between total costs incurred by this strategy and total costs avoided also. One of the originality of our study is to raise the issue of treatment cessation in the context of a chronic disease from an economic point of view. The other originality of this study is to use a decision model to perform this French budget impact analysis of TKI discontinuation, without setting up another trial. Besides the literature review and meta-analysis; the proposed probabilistic Markov model will use direct costs (including treatment costs and all health care related costs as well as costs related to relapse) extracted mainly from the French Health Insurance Databases.
