Filter by:This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and the best dose of inotuzumab ozogamicin when given together with fludarabine phosphate, bendamustine hydrochloride, and rituximab before donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with lymphoid malignancies. Giving chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine phosphate and bendamustine hydrochloride, before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells or abnormal cell and helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as inotuzumab ozogamicin and rituximab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cell from a donor can make an immune system response against the body's normal cells. Giving fludarabine phosphate and bendamustine hydrochloride before the transplant together with anti-thymocyte globulin and tacrolimus may stop this from happening.
The purpose of this research study is to find out more information relating to the highest dose of KCP-330 that can be given safely and side effects it may cause, to examine how the body affects KCP-330 concentrations in the blood (pharmacokinetics or PK), to examine the effects of KCP-330 on the body (pharmacodynamics or PDn) and to obtain information on its effectiveness in treating cancer.
This study aims to assess anxiety/depression and life quality of patients included in clinical trials versus patients treated in a standard way.
This trial investigates stem cell transplants from partially mismatched donors in patients with blood and bone marrow cancers. The trial will test two kinds of transplants - a full intensity transplant using a high dose of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and a reduced intensity transplant with lower doses of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Patients will be entered for the treatment pathway that is most appropriate for their level of health and fitness
The purpose of this study is to find out if getting a blood stem cell transplant with donor stem cells given over several days is better than getting a blood stem cell transplant with donor stem cells given over 1 day. We want to find out which procedure over will result in improved recovery of blood and immune function after transplant. When donor stem cells are given over various days in mice, the blood and immune system recovery is quicker.
In patients with invasive fungal infection (IFI) rapid diagnosis is essential for early initiation of appropriate antifungal therapy and thereby survival. Conventional culture is still the Gold-Standard for diagnosis of IFI. Sensitivity of conventional culture, however, is low (50%) and time to results minimum 24 hours. Therefore usage of serological tests detecting fungal antigens has increased dramatically over recent years. Main advantages of this new methods are rapid results and higher sensitivity when compared to conventional culture. One of the most promising serological marker currently used is beta-D-Glucan, which is a component of the fungal cell wall. ß-D-Glucan has been detected in IFI caused by Aspergillus, Candida and Fusarium spp. The Fungitell Assay (Associates of Cape Code, Inc.) was developed and validated for detection of ß-D-Glucan in peripheral blood. Up to date information about clinical performance of the Fungitell Assays in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL) is limited. This study will therefore evaluate clinical and diagnostic performance of the Fungitell Assay in BAL from patients with solid organ transplant or hematologic malignancy. In addition Mn/A-Mn, the lateral flow device test for aspergillosis, and Galactomannan, as well as PCR will be determined and used as comparators for BDG performance.
Primary Objective: - To evaluate the efficacy of once daily dose of SAR302503 in subjects previously treated with ruxolitinib and with a current diagnosis of intermediate-1 with symptoms, Intermediate-2 or high-risk primary myelofibrosis (PMF), post-polycythemia vera myelofibrosis (Post-PV MF), or post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis (Post-ET MF) based on the reduction of spleen volume at the end of 6 treatment cycles; Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate the effect of SAR302503 on Myelofibrosis (MF) associated symptoms as measured by the modified Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment Form (MFSAF) diary - To evaluate the durability of splenic response - To evaluate the splenic response to SAR302503 by palpation at the end of Cycle 6 - To evaluate the splenic response to SAR302503 at the end of Cycle 3 - To evaluate the effect of SAR302503 on the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) V617F allele burden - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of SAR302503 in this population - To evaluate plasma concentrations of SAR302503 for population PK analysis, if warranted
This study evaluated the safety and tolerability of using HSC835 in patients with hematological malignancies.
Primary Objective: - To evaluate the efficacy of daily oral doses of 400 mg or 500 mg of SAR302503 (Investigational Medicinal Product, IMP) compared to placebo in the reduction of spleen volume as determined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (or computed tomography scan in patients with contraindications for MRI). Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate the effect on Myelofibrosis (MF)-associated symptoms (key MF symptoms) as measured by the modified Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment Form (MFSAF) diary. - To evaluate the Overall Survival of patients treated with either 400 mg/day or 500 mg/day of IMP as compared to placebo. - To evaluate the Progression Free Survival of patients treated with either 400 mg/day or 500 mg/day of IMP as compared to placebo. - To evaluate the durability of splenic response. - To evaluate the safety of IMP.
Diagnosing invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) remains a challenge in patients (pts) with hematological malignancies. The clinical significance of testing bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples both with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Aspergillus galactomannan (GM) ELISA is unclear, and the BAL cutoff for GM has not been clearly defined yet. Using a validated nested PCR assay and a GM ELISA, we prospectively examine BAL samples from hematological patients at high risk of PA.
