Jan 15th, 2022 - The prognosis of relapsed/refractory (R/R) pediatric acute leukemia is extremely poor. We retrospectively reviewed 20 consecutive pediatric patients with R/R acute leukemia who underwent a first HLA-haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transp...

Jan 15th, 2022 - Bloodstream infections (BSIs) cause morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients with leukemia. Antibiotic prophylaxis during periods of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia may reduce the incidence of BSIs. A levofloxacin prophylaxis guideline was i...

Jan 15th, 2022 - Hematopoietic cell transplants are used to treat some adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, especially those with high-risk features, such as those with BCR::ABL1. This strategy may be changing given the safety and efficacy of modern tyrosine ...

Jan 14th, 2022 - Persistence of minimal residual disease (MRD) after induction/consolidation therapy in acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the leading cause of relapse. The GMALL 07/2003 study used MRD detection by RQ-PCR of clonal immune gene rearrangements with 1x1...

Jan 14th, 2022 - Glucocorticoids (GCs) are still first-line drugs for the treatment of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Prednisolone is a corticosteroid and one of the most important agents in the treatment of ALL. We report here a study of Prednisolo...

Dec 20th, 2021 - Several commercial and academic autologous chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) products targeting CD19 have been approved in Europe for relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, high-grade B-cell lymphoma and mantle cell lympho...

Jan 8th, 2020 - Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common pediatric malignancy. Advancements in technology that enhance our understanding of the biology of the disease, risk-adapted therapy, and enhanced supportive care have contributed to improved su...

Sep 7th, 2017 - The prognosis for patients with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has improved with the use of more intensive chemotherapy regimens, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, targeted agents, and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. H...

Jan 3rd, 2012 - Clinical research published since the first evidence-based review on the role of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT) in the treatment of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is presented and critically evaluated in this update. T...

Jan 14th, 2022 - This is a non-randomized phase I/II clinical trial. In Block I, all patients receiving common therapy evaluating the activity of combination chemotherapy with venetoclax and navitoclax in children with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic le...

Jan 12th, 2022 - This phase I trial evaluates the side effects and best dose of BAFFR-CAR T cells in treating patients with B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). T cells are infection figh...

Jan 11th, 2022 - Cognitive performance (attention and working memory) will be evaluated using the auditory N-Back test. The 0-back condition and the 2-back condition will be used. After cognitive assessment, participants will perform 3 different postural control t...

Jan 11th, 2022 - LCCC1541-ATL is a Phase I/Phase II dose finding trial to determine if chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells targeting the CD19 antigen and containing the inducible caspase 9 safety switch can be safely administered to adult and pediatric subje...

Jan 10th, 2022 - Transfer of patients to alloHSCT after one cycle or after a subsequent cycle is considered as per protocol discontinuation and as premature treatment discontinuation. There will be a safety follow-up visit at 30 days after end of the last infusion...

Jan 13th, 2022 - A transplant offers a chance of a cure from leukemia, but when the transplant is not successful, such patients are left with few other options and a poor prognosis. But the management of such patients has been improving, and over the past 20 years...
