Filter by:This research trial studies medical chart review in determining outcomes of second-line therapy in patients with acute graft-versus-host disease previously treated with extracorporeal photopheresis or other systemic therapies. Gathering information about second-line therapy in patients with acute graft-versus-host disease may help doctors learn more about the disease and find better treatment.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of low-dose total lymphoid irradiation (LD-TLI) in treating patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease that has not responded to treatment with steroids. LD-TLI is a procedure in which all of the body's major lymph nodes are treated with small doses of radiation in order to reset the dysfunctional immune system. LD-TLI may work as a treatment for graft-versus-host disease caused by a bone marrow or stem cell transplant.
This is a phase I trial of LDE225 for the treatment of steroid-refractory chronic Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD).
The main goal of the study is to determine if bone marrow transplant (BMT) from a less specific pool of donors in combination with high dose cyclophosphamide can induce remission of refractory systemic lupus erythematosus.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of mesenchymal stromal cells as treatment for steroid-refractory chronic graft-versus-host disease.
Acute Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) is a serious medical condition that is a common development after Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT). Acute GVHD happens when the donor cells attack and damage your tissues and organs after transplant. Acute GVHD often causes: Skin rashes, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea (may have blood), liver damage that can cause inflammation in the liver or jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), damage to other organs Steroids are the first line of treatment for acute GVHD. About a quarter of the patients that develop acute GVHD may not respond to steroid and have steroid refractory GVHD (SR-aGVHD). Patients with SR-aGVHD may need other medications. SR-aGVHD, is a potentially life threatening condition. There is no standard treatment and it may not respond to treatment. The goals of this study are to find out if Infliximab and basiliximab can treat SR-aGVHD. Participants in this study will receive combination therapy (2 drugs: infliximab and basiliximab) once a week for four weeks.
In this study the investigators are proposing to treat patients with steroid-refractory Graft-versus-host Disease (GVHD) stabilization using IL-2 and azacitidine
This Phase II clinical trial was designed for patients with hematologic malignancies in need of donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant, and have no HLA matched donor. Therefore It will test the efficacy of combining sirolimus, tacrolimus, antithymocyte globulin, and rituximab in preventing graft versus host disease in transplants from HLA Haploidentical and partially mismatched donors.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of the combination of rituximab and prednisone as initial therapy for chronic graft-versus-host disease (C-GVHD).
This phase II trial is studying how well rituximab works in preventing acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in patients undergoing a donor stem cell transplant for hematologic cancer. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving a monoclonal antibody, rituximab, together with anti-thymocyte globulin, tacrolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil before and after the transplant may stop this from happening
