Hematological malignancies arise from deficiencies in blood cell lineage which represent a heterogeneous group including leukemias, lymphomas, myelomas, myeloproliferative diseases and myelodysplastic syndromes. In recent years, a great majority of patients with hematological malignancies often
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine whether acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and lymphoma patients with cancer-related fatigue (CRF) will be satisfied with the cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention, and if CBT will be feasible for AML and lymphoma patients with CRF where the feasibility will
Hematologic malignancies affecting blood, bone marrow and lymph nodes comprise neoplasm of either myeloid or lymphoid blood stem cells origin. While a lymphoid stem cell becomes a white blood cell, a myeloid stem cell becomes one of the red blood cells, white blood cells or platelets types. Due to
In preclinical studies Pevonedistat has shown significant single agent activity against mouse xenograft models of AML cell Line HL-60. Also this effect seemed to be synergistically enhanced by combining it with Azacitidine. In clinical arena, Pevonedistat has shown single agent activity in heavily
The active metabolite of SGI-110 (2'-deoxy-5-azacytidylyl-(3'→5')-2'-deoxyguanosine sodium salt), a dinucleotide, is decitabine, an FDA-approved agent for the treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes. SGI-110 is resistant to modification by cytidine deaminase, a common pathway of decitabine metabolism
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) comprise a heterogeneous group of hematologic malignancies of the pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells characterized by clonal hematopoiesis and progressive bone marrow failure. Clinically, patients suffer from fatigue and are at high risk of infections or bleeding.
The primary objectives of this study are to assess response (as measured by increase in blood counts, cytogenetic/molecular changes in the bone marrow, improved endurance) to the supplements treatment.
The secondary objectives are to determine:
Quality of life assessment(FACT: QOL Questionnaire)
The two most important causes of iron overload disease in humans are the iron-loading disorder hereditary hemochromatosis (HC), and transfusional siderosis in patients with chronic hematological diseases like myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), thalassemia, and leukemia.
Hemochromatosis. In HC the
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT) is an effective treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). For patients transplanted in first remission or with low risk MDS, approximately 60% of patients have achieved long-term disease free survival. Patients with
Aplastic anemia is a condition that involves a low level of red blood cells (anemia), white blood cells, and platelets without evidence of another bone marrow disease. Anemia leads to fatigue, shortness of breath, and heart problems. Low platelet counts can lead to bruising and bleeding, and low
The Study Drug:
Lenalidomide is designed to change the body's immune system. It may also interfere with the development of tiny blood vessels that help support tumor growth. Therefore, in theory, it may decrease or prevent the growth of cancer cells. The drug is also designed to decrease the level
The myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), a diverse group of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) disorders, are characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis that manifest clinically as anemia, neutropenia, and/or thrombocytopenia. MDS is most frequently observed in the elderly population (median age between 60
In murine and human xenograft tumor models, administration of PS-341 weekly was associated with significant antitumor activity. In primate studies using a schedule of twice weekly for six weeks, the highest PS-341 dose not associated with severe irreversible toxicity was 0.067 mg/kg/dose or 0.80
