Filter by:The purpose of this prospective, longitudinal, noninterventional study is to describe clinical characteristics, evolution of disease burden, and treatment patterns in patients with select subcategories of essential thrombocythemia (ET) or myelofibrosis (MF).
This observational study will compare outcomes of a prospectively-enrolled cohort of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HCT) recipients with outcomes of a cohort of age-matched historical non-HCT controls. Patients undergoing alloHCT will receive HCT in a US transplant center and be reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) using well-established CIBMTR report forms and data collection procedures as well as a study-specific supplemental form. Data on the historical non-HCT controls will be collected at 14 US academic centers. These centers will provide data on all consecutive patients with PMF, post-ET MF, or post-PV MF referred to their institutions between 2000 and 2012.
This pilot clinical trial studies the side effects and best dose of ruxolitinib phosphate when given together with chemotherapy before and after a donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with myelofibrosis. Ruxolitinib phosphate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate and melphalan, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving ruxolitinib phosphate together with chemotherapy before and after a donor stem cell transplant may help stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and 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. The donated stem cells may also replace the patient?s immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells.
Patients who carried primary or secondary myelofibrosis from Philadelphia negative MPNs (PMF/SMF) and who are treated or are about to be treated with pegylated-interferon (mostly α2a) are eligible to this prospective study. Biological and clinical parameters will be collected from the beginning of the drug use until last news. A non-opposition consent form need to be signed before entering this study.
All patients diagnosed or followed in Brest University Hospital for Philadelphia negative myeloproliferative neoplasms will be included in this observational study. Myeloproliferative neoplasms recorded included: polycythemia vera, essential Thrombocythemia and Primary Myelofibrosis. This is a not interventional study. Alive patients need to sign a non-opposition consent form. Patients will be followed until last news (death, change of reference centre...).
This phase II trial studies how well tacrolimus, bortezomib, and anti-thymocyte globulin (thymoglobulin) work in preventing low toxicity graft versus host disease (GVHD) in patients with blood cancer who are undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Tacrolimus and anti-thymocyte globulin may reduce the risk of the recipient's body rejecting the transplant by suppressing the recipient's immune system. Giving bortezomib after the transplant may help prevent GVHD by stopping the donor's cells from attacking the recipient. Giving tacrolimus, bortezomib, and anti-thymocyte globulin may be a better way to prevent low toxicity GVHD in patients with blood cancer undergoing donor stem cell transplant.
The main purpose of this investigational research study is to determine how safe and tolerable the study drug, MEDI4736 (Durvalumab), is in patients with myelofibrosis (MF). The study drug belongs to a group of drugs called immune checkpoint inhibitors, which have shown promise in other forms of cancer, such as melanoma and lung cancer. One of the effects that this drug has is to activate the patient's own natural immune system. The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and tolerability of the study drug, to study how effective it is at treating patients with myelofibrosis, and to explore how certain markers in the patient's blood and/or bone marrow may be affected by the study drug.
This is a Phase 1 open label, single dose, 5 parallel-group study in which a single 400 mg dose of pacritinib will be administered orally to patients with renal impairment (mild, moderate, severe, and patients with ESRD requiring hemodialysis) and sex-, age- and weight-matched healthy subjects.Patients with ESRD will receive a single 400 mg dose of pacritinib during 2 different treatment periods: Dialysis and Inter-Dialysis. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of pacritinib in renal impairment.
A number of groups have demonstrated very low incidence of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) in haploidentical and unrelated allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). Still the relapse of the underlining malignancy is a problem after this prophylaxis. Ruxolitinib is currently one of the most promising drugs in the treatment of steroid-refractory GVHD. On the other hand, its primary indication is myelofibrosis, and it was demonstrated that ruxolitinib before allogeneic SCT might improve the outcome. This pilot trial evaluates whether the combination of PTCy and ruxolitinib facilitates adequate GVHD control, and decreases the risk of graft failure and disease progression in myelofibrosis patients.
The main purpose of this investigational research study is to determine how safe and tolerable the study drug siltuximab is in patients with myelofibrosis (MF). This medication has been approved by the FDA for another condition (multicentric castleman's disease (MCD), but not for myelofibrosis (MF). In MCD, siltuximab resulted in improvement in symptoms and anemia. While MCD and MF are different diseases, they share some common features including a protein call interleukin-6 (IL-6) that may be important in causing symptoms of MCD and MF.
