Filter by:This clinical trial aims to assess the efficacy of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in the early diagnosis of oral cancer. It focuses on Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders (OPMDs) as precursors to Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC). Despite the availability of oral screening, diagnostic delays persist, underscoring the importance of exploring non-invasive methodologies. The OCT technology provides cross-sectional analysis of biological tissues, enabling a detailed evaluation of ultrastructural oral mucosal features. The trial aims to compare OCT preliminary evaluation with traditional histology, considered the gold standard in oral lesion diagnosing. It seeks to create a database of pathological OCT data, facilitating the non invasive identification of carcinogenic processes. The goal is to develop a diagnostic algorithm based on OCT, enhancing its ability to detect characteristic patterns such as the keratinized layer, squamous epithelium, basement membrane, and lamina propria in oral tissues affected by OPMDs and OSCC. Furthermore, the trial aims to implement Artificial Intelligence (AI) in OCT image analysis. The use of machine learning algorithms could contribute to a faster and more accurate assessment of images, aiding in early diagnosis. The trial aims to standardize the comparison between in vivo OCT images and histological analysis, adopting a site-specific approach in biopsies to improve correspondence between data collected by both methods. In summary, the trial not only evaluates OCT as a diagnostic tool but also aims to integrate AI to develop a standardized approach that enhances the accuracy of oral cancer diagnosis, providing a significant contribution to clinical practice.
The investigators aimed to reveal the relationship between serum markers of pyroptosis, GVHD biomarkers and endothelial damage markers in patients who were planned for allogeneic stem cell transplantation for AML and developed GVHD during follow-up. Secondary outcomes of the study were to demonstrate the role of pyroptosis in the pathophysiology of GVHD and transplantation-associated endothelial injury using serum plasma samples; the efficacy of GVHD biomarkers used to demonstrate organ-specific involvement; and the efficacy of GVHD biomarkers and endothelial injury markers in predicting the development of GVHD, transplantation-associated endothelial injury and non-relapse mortality.
The study will have two separate patient cohorts: Cohort 1 will include patients with newly diagnosed chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD), whereas cohort 2 will include patients with newly diagnosed chronic lung disease (CLD). For cohort 1, the primary objective will be to characterize PRM metrics at the onset of chronic GVHD and determine if a PRM signature is present that will predict 1-year CLD free survival. For cohort 2, the primary objective will focus on characterizing PRM at the onset of CLD and determine if PRM can predict the trajectory in lung function decline in affected patients.
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation consists of preconditioning chemotherapy, stem cell infusion, and engraftment of hematopoietic stem cells. In this process, in the case of recipients who receive hematopoietic stem cells, their immune system is completely destroyed and then undergoes a situation in which it is reconstituted. In this process, the diversity of the intestinal microbiome is reduced, and it is widely known that a severe decrease is associated with the occurrence of an acute graft-versus-host reaction. Attempts to improve the intestinal microbiome include prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics. Prebiotics can be expected to improve the intestinal microbiome by acting as nutrients for beneficial bacteria in the intestine, but their role may be limited in situations where the diversity of the intestinal microbiome has already decreased. Probiotics are a method to expect improvement of the intestinal microbiome by administering the beneficial bacteria themselves in the intestine, but there is a difficulty in reaching the intestine properly through stomach acid, and there is a risk of causing sepsis in immunocompromised patients. Postbiotics is a product that beneficial bacteria metabolize and release prebiotics in the intestine, and the microbiome in the intestine is actually responsible for the function that affects the human body. Therefore, in this study, postbiotics are administered to patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation who are concerned that the diversity of the intestinal microbiome may have already decreased, to improve the intestinal microbiome and hope to prevent graft-versus-host reactions through this. Furthermore, it is intended to improve the outcome of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether photobiomodulation/PBM therapy using the Thor LX2.3 therapy system is a safe and effective treatment for oral Graft-Versus-Host Disease/GVHD.
The investigators will examine whether a combination of at-home nucleic acid amplification tests, on-demand telemedicine, and delivery of prescriptions such as Paxlovid quickly after testing positive for COVID-19, can reduce severe outcomes and hospitalization of immunocompromised patients and those who are 65 years and older. They will also analyze whether these efforts lower the cost of care compared to standard of care.
This is an open-label phase 2 study designed to explore the efficacy and safety of low-dose PTCy-ruxolitinib GVHD prophylaxis in older adults undergoing allogeneic HCT with a matched sibling or unrelated donor with a peripheral blood stem cell graft.
This study is a prospective, open-label, multi-center, non-comparative, observational study to assess safety and effectiveness of Jakavi® (ruxolitinib) in the real-world clinical setting in Korean Graft-versus-Host disease (GvHD) patients
This is a phase I-II clinical trial. Adult subjects with hematological malignancies undergoing allogeneic HSCT from an HLA matched sibling or ≥7 out of 8 allele level HLA matched unrelated donor are eligible for the study if they meet the criteria defined in our standard operation procedures (SOPs), meet all inclusion criteria, and do not satisfy any exclusion criteria. Subjects will receive a standard of care conditioning regimen. Subjects will receive investigational PTCy, investigational bortezomib and investigational abatacept as GvHD prophylaxis.
This is a multi-center study to compare the efficacy and safety of itolizumab versus placebo as first-line therapy for subjects with Grade III-IV aGVHD or Grade II with LGI involvement, in combination with corticosteroids
