Scientific and educational activities
Horizon 2020-funded clinical trials in hematology
The SWG was involved in the following trials.
RESILIENCE
A trial to evaluate remote ischemic conditioning for preventing anthracycline cardiotoxicity in lymphoma patients, incorporating a significance focus on the quality of life.
RESOLVE
A project to establish the predictive value of measurable residual disease (MRD) in AML/CLL patients.
It aims to do this through:
- The development of an MRD registry
- The establishment of a multicenter, randomized controlled pragmatic trial of standard intensity versus reduced intensity consolidation treatment in MRD-negative patients
The latter will involve individuals with AML (360 patients; five time points) or CLL (134 patients; five time points).
IMPACT
An international, multicenter, randomized pragmatic clinical trial that will compare standard chemotherapy to low-intensity therapy in relapsed or refractory AML patients
International projects involving the SWG
