Clinicals Trials in AML and ALL

Accredited center for conducting Phase 1  (First in Human)  clinical trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of new drugs at various stages of disease.

The medical team is made up of hospital-based doctors or university hospital doctors. Their roles include intervening in the care pathway of patients with acute leukemias, whether in conventional hospitalization or in the outpatient care sector (Day Hospital). They also have other research or teaching functions.

Patient information

Specific documents such as welcome or discharge booklets are available for patients. Educational tools explaining the care pathway are also provided, including two comic books: one on intensive treatment of AML and another on treatment of Philadelphia chromosome-positive ALL.

Multidisciplinary Team Meetings

Meeting of clinicians and biologists (cytology, cytometry, cytogenetics, molecular biology) to define the patient’s therapeutic plan based on all their clinical and biological features.

Responsables : Pr N. BOISSEL (nicolas.boissel@aphp.fr) / Pr E. RAFFOUX (emmanuel.raffoux@aphp.fr) / Pr L. ADES (lionel.ades@aphp.fr)

A meeting bringing together medical specialists in acute leukemia and allografts, as well as the allograft’s “organizational” team to best define the allograft project, including its indication and execution (transplant date, donor type, pre-transplant treatment modalities).

Responsable :  Pr R. PEFFAULT DE LATOUR (regis.peffaultdelatour@aphp.fr)

Our clinical trials

A Phase 3 protocol for patients aged 18 to 65 with B-cell, T-cell, or Philadelphia chromosome-positive ALL. The objective of this trial, based on conventional treatment regimens, is to evaluate the early use of immunotherapy during treatment and to better redefine the role of allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

A Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating the addition of salazopyrine to standard chemotherapy in patients over 60 with AML, to assess clinical tolerance (Phase 1) and subsequently the impact on the depth of response achieved (Phase 2).

This protocol aims to record patient management under routine care, by collecting a maximum of biological information at all phases of treatment. The goal is to better understand acute leukemias and continue to improve outcomes.

Phase 1/2 Protocol evaluating the combination of targeted chemotherapy (using an antibody that recognizes leukemic cells) and anti-FLT3 targeted therapy in patients experiencing a relapse of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a FLT3 mutation.

A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating the addition of a targeted anti-FLT3 therapy to a conventional chemotherapy regimen throughout treatment in patients aged 18 to 70 with AML.

A non-interventional research protocol aiming to understand and dissect the mechanisms of chemotherapy during the first hours and subsequent days of treatment.

Phase 2 Protocol evaluating two intensive chemotherapy modalities—conventional versus encapsulated—in patients over 50 years old with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) of intermediate or unfavorable genetic risk.
