Filter by:The median age of onset of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in chronic phase PC is about 60 years. However CML affects all age groups including 18-25 year olds, called adult-young adolescents (AJA). In France, there is no record of CML and especially not for this particular population, only a European Register of CML in children up to 18 years has been set up under the coordination of Professor "Frederic Millot", pediatrics, CHU Poitiers. Malignancies diagnosed in this population usually have characteristics, evolution, therapeutic strategies with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are a real therapeutic revolution with an overall survival very significantly augmented but at present only a minority of patients may one day consider a final judgment of treatment. AJA are the most exposed patients to the complications, the socio-economic repercussions, professional and personal of a very long-term treatment. But there is little data in the literature concerning this population. Two studies show that diagnosis of CML presents with poor prognostic factors (high skoal), the observed responses are poorer compared to older patients but it is accompanied difference in survival in all cases with a decline of about 70 mois. However, these studies have focused solely on the patients included in the study receiving optimized treatment is not the standard treatment at the time. It is clearly demonstrated that the inclusion in a study brings a benefit to the patient. However, the majority of AJA are not included in a study. The investigators therefore want to describe the AYA population of CML in France and compare the evolution of patients included or not in a protocol. The investigators also want to investigate specific issues of the age of these patients as the reproductive desire. Indeed, while it does not seem to be any risk of teratogenicity for men treated with ITK, this risk is clearly established for women and requires specific supported. Another important point is that of the quality of life. The state of physical and mental health and his feelings, physical activity and its limitations and well-being was assessed by the SF-3612 questionnaire. The results of this analysis were compared with those already obtained for the general population (not representative of Italian adults with cancer sample) and adjusted for sex, age, geographic region, marital status and education level . There seems to be young people and women who express a feeling more pejorative. This does not only covers the frequency of side effects but also on physical activity and well-being. the affected population will be noted that that is particularly involved in the social, professional and in the development of his personal life. The impact of treatment on quality of life must be considered under penalty of seeing the difficulties of compliance. But several studies have demonstrated the negative impact of poor adherence in response to treatments .
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm companies with the BCR-ABL fusion gene encoded by the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome. The BCR-ABL fusion protein(the formation of the chimeric gene BCR/ABL on chromosome 22 and a reciprocal ABL/BCR on chromosome 9,it has no expanded name) plays key role on CML leukemogenesis by activating its downstream signaling pathway of survival and proliferation. Imatinib, a targeted competitive inhibitor of a BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase, changed the clinical treatment and prognosis of CML. As its optimized generation, other tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), dasatinib and nilotinib have more potent anti-leukemic activity and less side-effect. However, acquired resistance to TKIs is one of the main obstacles to effective CML treatment and is involved in gene amplication of ABL tyrosine kinase point mutations. The outcomes of patients with these ABL tyrosine kinase point mutations have linked to worse prognosis and higher mortality generally. Metabolic adaptations are common in cancer cells, and cancer cells become more dependent on mitochondrial biogenesis. Tigecycline, as a broad-spectrum antibiotics, inhibits mitochondrial biogenesis as its an interesting "side-effect".In recent study,researchers indicated that tigecycline can eradicate cancer stem cells by targeting mitochondrial.Here, the investigators test tigecycline's anti-leukemic activity to chronic myeloid leukemia in vitro.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of Busulfan/FLAG (fludarabine, cytarabine and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor) Conditioning Regimen in Patients with Relapsed/refractory Acute Leukemia undergoing allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.
The aim of our study is to improve the major molecular remission(MMR) rate and reduce the cost to treat ph(+) Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) by adjusting chemotherapy regimens and the dosage of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI). lower the classification of chemotherapy drugs, lower the side effect brought by which this would be a grateful news for the patients once this regimens gain a successful result, which is also the final aim of our efforts.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficiency of adding pioglitazone to chronic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia patients having received imatinib mesylate who have acquired a stable molecular response but not complete molecular response.
This study aims to evaluate the safety, efficacy and duration of response of CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) redirected allogeneic γδT-cells in patients with high risk, relapsed CD19+ haematological malignancies.
This study aims to evaluate the safety, efficacy and duration of response of CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) redirected autologous T-cells in patients with high risk, relapsed CD19+ haematological malignancies.
The study will be an open label, single arm, phase I study intended to identify the safety and tolerability of "AML Cell Vaccine" given to eligible MDS RAEB-2 and AML patients who have achieved a best response of complete remission or partial remission following their first or second course of standard induction chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether deferasirox is effective in the treatment of acute lymphatic leukemia (ALL) and acute Myeloid leukemia (AML).
Headache following a lumbar puncture （post-lumbar-puncture headache,PLPH）is a common and often debilitating syndrome, which was reported to occur in about 40% patients who received lumbar puncture. Now there lacks of effective approaches in the prophylaxis of PLPH, although some physicians consider bed rest for at least 6 hours to be a useful methods (Some recent meta-analysis found no benefit of bed rest for any hours in the prevention of PLPH). Studies have found that P substances and its receptor (Neurokinin-1 receptor, NK-1R)have played an important role in the pathogenesis of PLPH. Thus, we hypothesize that use of NK-1R inhibitor (aprepitant) 1 hour before lumbar puncture may decrease the incidence of PLPH and lower the severity of PLPH.
