Filter by:The investigators previously showed that both antibody class switching (from IgM to IgG, IgA or IgE) and antibody secretion are controlled by a polymorphic "3' regulatory region" (3'RR) of the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) locus. Alleles of the 3'RR have shown influences on the severity and progression of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) (with an over-representation of the B allele among patients with severe kidney IgA deposits). Allele B also constitutes a risk factor for celiac disease, herpetiform dermatitis, psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis. Since the 3'RR now appears as a crucial regulator of Ig production, we wish to check whether its genetic polymorphism might influence not only the occurrence of immunopathologic processes involving class-switched antibody deregulated production but also the severity of such diseases or the time course of their progression. We wish to focus on two conditions involving class-switched antibodies: on one hand the severe forms of IgE hypersensitivities, and on the other hand a disease involving pathogenic IgA and for which the prognosis is currently very difficult to predict at the onset of the disease: Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP). Regarding hypersensitivities, the diversity of their clinical manifestations prompt us to focus on homogeneous groups of patients and we thus wish to concentrate on two groups of patients who are frequently referred to the hospital: severe allergies to Hymenoptera venoms and severe food allergies related to peanut allergens sensitization. These groups will be built by considering multiple clinical criteria (clinical history, severity of the manifestations, positive skin tests, and positive oral provocation tests for peanut allergens…) and biological criteria authenticating the mechanisms of the disease (high specific serum IgE, demonstration of specific basophil activation by the allergen…). In parallel to the study in patients, we will include a large cohort of healthy controls (400 individuals), in order to be able to decipher whether correlations can be seen between: - IgH 3'RR genotypes - The serum accumulation of the various Ig classes, including IgG subclasses, IgA (which are sometimes depicted as protective, sometimes as tolerogenic and anti-inflammatory) and IgE (highly pro-inflammatory and responsible for hypersensitivities) - IgG allotypes (with 6 frequent IgG haplotypes known in human and previously reported as correlated with varying levels of IgG and IgE production in normal individuals).
The purpose of this study is to assess the mass balance (i.e. cumulative excretion of total radioactivity [TRA] in urine and feces) of alisertib and pharmacokinetic (PK) of alisertib in plasma and urine, and of TRA in plasma and whole blood.
The purpose of this study is to compare the number of responders to vaccination with the influenza virus vaccine at different time points after last dose of rituximab in patients with lymphoma. Secondly to study the immune-response to vaccination with influenza virus vaccine, after treatment with rituximab in relation to the reconstitution of immune-function.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (study of what the body does to a drug), and pharmacodynamics (study of what a drug does to the body) of JNJ-42756493, a pan-fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in adult participants with advanced or refractory solid tumors or lymphoma.
High-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous (the patient's own) peripheral blood (circulating blood) stem cell (cells that divide to form white cells, red cells and cells that help clot) transplantation is a conventional treatment for patients with lymphoma (cancer of lymph glands) and Hodgkin's disease (cancer of lymph glands) after first relapse (recurrence of disease). For patients who did not have a complete response after traditional chemotherapy, the chance is high that the tumor will return even after high-dose chemotherapy. To improve the response and decrease the chance of relapse, doctors have used rituximab, an antibody that kills lymphoma cells, both before and after transplantation. These doctors have reported that more patients had control of the tumor for an extended period of time using rituximab with high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation. How widely this is applicable is not known. The purpose of this clinical research trial is to confirm that there is a good control of tumor in patients with lymphoma or Hodgkin's disease treated with rituximab and conventional stem cell transplantation.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of gemcitabine hydrochloride, clofarabine, and busulfan before donor stem cell transplant and to see how well it works in treating patients with B-cell or T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma or Hodgkin lymphoma that does not respond to treatment. Giving chemotherapy before a donor bone marrow or peripheral blood 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. 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.
This international multi-center, randomized, controlled, open-label study investigated the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, efficacy and safety of BCD-020 (INN: rituximab, CJSC Biocad) versus MabThera® (INN: rituximab, F. Hoffmann La Roche, Ltd.) both administered as a monotherapy of patients with indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Patients were randomized to receive 375 mg/m² BCD-020 as intravenous infusion once a week for 4 weeks or MabThera® at the same regimen.
The overall objective of this protocol is to improve the cure rate of relapsed precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and lymphoblastic lymphoma. This phase II trial is studying risk-directed therapy for B-lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoma in first relapse. Standard risk (SR) and high risk (HR) participants will receive different therapy. Treatment will consist of chemotherapy for SR participants, and chemotherapy followed by hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) for HR in first relapse. Induction therapy consists of three blocks of chemotherapy. The first block is a novel immunotherapy regimen that includes chemotherapy, rituximab and infusion of haploidentical natural killer (NK) cells. SR participants will continue to receive chemotherapy for a total duration of approximately 2 years. HR participants will be candidates for HSCT and will proceed to transplant once a suitable donor is found and their minimal residual disease (MRD) is negative.
Plerixafor is a new CXCR4 inhibitor that is able to improve peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) mobilization when combined with granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). The 'on demand' use of plerixafor at the hematopoietic recovery after chemotherapy + G-CSF may be more efficient and cost-effective, but the timing of administration and criteria for patient selection are still under investigation. We collected the data of lymphoma and myeloma patients treated with plerixafor at the hematopoietic recovery after chemotherapy + G-CSF. The decision of adding plerixafor was based on PB CD34+ cells at the time of hematopoietic recovery after chemotherapy in patients at their first or subsequent attempt, according to the attending physician choice. The primary endpoint was the assessment of the rate of patients who were able to collect >=2 x 10^6 CD34+/kg.
This is a multi-center, open-label, dose escalation study.
