Leukemia (Pediatric) Clinical Trials

The aim of the research in this study is to make participants' transplant safer by reducing the risk of developing GVHD and GVHD-related complications by giving participants a dose of the drug tocilizumab in addition to the standard approach for GVHD prevention. Tocilizumab reduces the risk of inflammation by blocking ...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the clinical efficacy of inotuzumab ozogamicin in patients B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in complete morphologic remission with positive minimal residual disease (MRD) in terms of relapse-free survival (RFS). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate other efficacy endpoints such as overall survival and MRD negativity rate ...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Temporal assessment of treatment impact on bone marrow. II. Relative assessment of bone marrow status between total marrow and lymphoid irradiation (TMLI) and conventional TBI. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Correlation of dual energy computed tomography (DECT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging with biological samples for cellularity/adiposity. II. Feasibility ...

Eligible patients with CD19+ Ph- BCP ALL (Philadelphia-negative B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia) will receive homogeneous supportive care, chemotherapy and blinatumomab immunotherapy, and will be homogeneously analyzed for response at prefixed time points from induction day 1. For risk-oriented therapy, patients in complete remission (CR) will be stratified by risk ...

This study is a prospective observational cohort study which will be conducted in 2 parts including preoperative and intraoperative periods. Preoperative period, patients' demographic information will be collected along with NPO history including times, type ,amount of preoperative fluid/ food intake and patients' anxiety score. Intraoperatively, at the beginning of ...

Background Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) accounts for approximately 25% of childhood cancer. Survival rates have improved, but outcomes for some subgroups, including infants and young adults remain poor, and survival for patients who relapse is < 50%, despite allogeneic stem cell transplant following second remission. CD19 immune escape has been ...

Screening for eligible participants will be performed within 21 days before administration of the study drug. Participants with B-cell ALL/LL will receive treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or achievement of CR followed by hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Participants with T cell ALL/LL will receive treatment for up to ...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the effectiveness of an enhanced parenting intervention, high-intensity intervention program (HIP), on pediatric cancer survivors' learning and school health-related quality of life (HRQOL) outcomes up to 12 months post enrollment. II. Determine the effectiveness of HIP on the "pro-learning" efficacy of parents of pediatric cancer survivors ...

Background Traditional therapeutic approaches to pediatric cancer have focused on cytotoxic agents and, more recently, targeted inhibition of cellular signaling pathways through the use of small molecule kinase inhibitors. Despite these interventions, significant numbers of pediatric cancer patients develop recurrent and resistant disease. Targeting the tumor microenvironment is a promising ...

Despite recent advances especially in younger patients, the prognosis of elderly patients with ALL remains dismal with a 5-year survival rate of around 20%, even after intensive chemotherapy. Inotuzumab ozogamicin (PF-05208773; CMC-544) is an antibody-targeted intravenous (IV) chemotherapy agent composed of an anti-CD22 antibody linked to calicheamicin, a potent cytotoxic ...
