Clinical trials

The detection of MRD is associated with an increased risk of relapse and adverse prognosis in all patient groups diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, it has a sensitivity level that detects one leukemic cell in 10,000 normal cells, along with other disadvantages such as the need for a panel of fluorescent antibodies for MRD detection, and its measurement is not standardized in many centers. New determination techniques may be necessary for MRD evaluation. Raman spectroscopy is proposed as a potential technique for MRD measurement, which is based on the inelastic scattering of light that occurs when it interacts with matter, causing optical scattering, where a portion of the radiation changes its wavelength (by Raman effect). Objectives: MAIN OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the presence of MRD in patients with ALL by comparing a standard evaluation method using flow cytometry with a new proposed method using Raman spectroscopy. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: * To assess the presence of MRD using flow cytometry in patients with ALL. * To assess the presence of MRD using Raman spectroscopy in patients with ALL. * To perform a comparison between the MRD measurement techniques by determining sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value. * To establish the validation of using Raman spectroscopy as a method for MRD evaluation. Study Design: An observational, cross-sectional, comparative, and diagnostic test study will be conducted on bone marrow aspirate samples from adult and pediatric ALL patients to evaluate the presence of MRD using Raman spectroscopy, comparing the results of this technique with those obtained using flow cytometry. As a diagnostic test study, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value will be evaluated. The study will be conducted on adult and pediatric patients diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia treated at the hemato-oncology department of the UMAE No. 1 National Medical Center Bajio and the UMAE Hospital Gynecology-Pediatrics No. 48. Inclusion Criteria: Patients diagnosed with ALL for whom MRD determination is clinically necessary will be included in the study. Their results will be evaluated using the gold standard, flow cytometry, and compared with results obtained through Raman spectroscopy.

The choice of the best second-line therapy in patients with high LH R/R risk, it is a niche of knowledge not covered at the moment, especially the role of Brentuximab (BV) plus PD-1 blockade and auto-HSCT. What is the progression-free survival and rate of metabolic responses complete in patients with high-risk R/R HL with the treatment strategy: BV+ PD-1 blockade consolidation with Auto-HSCT and maintenance with BV + PD-blockade 1?

The aim of this study is the identification of complications in diabetes mellitus pediatric patients and to compare the clinical, anthropometric, and biochemical characteristics between children in the different types of diabetes mellitus.
