Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether the supplementation of vitamin D and calcium prevents recurrences of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo in patients with vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency.
The relapse leukemia patients after transplantation were divided into two groups randomly. Group D1: patients received first-donor stem cells infusion(DSI) treatment with or without chemotherapy; group D2: patients received second-donor DSI treatment with or without chemotherapy. The second donors were preferably donors who were genetically related and had more HLA-match locus. The re-induction chemotherapy regimen was primarily MAT(mitoxantrone, cytarabine, Teniposide ) for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and VMCLD(vincristine, Teniposide, cyclophosphamide, L-Asparaginase, Dexamethasone) for acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), and no graft versus host disease(GVHD) prevention was conducted pre- and post- therapy.
The present project is a multicenter, phase II trial which aims at evaluating if the administration of azacytidine (Vidaza®) combined to donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) could improve the response rate to DLI in the population of patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
The goal of the pilot study is to determine if a multicenter prospective cohort study of cancer patients with blood clots associated with catheters is feasible. Cancer patients with catheter-related thrombosis treated with one month of anticoagulation will be evaluated for for post-thrombotic syndrome. Laboratory biomarkers will be evaluated as predictors of recurrent thrombosis.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tumor debulking efficacy of personalized anti-cancer vaccine AlloVax(TM) in Subjects with confirmed recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) who cannot be treated with surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. AlloVax(TM) is a personalized anti-cancer vaccine combining Chaperone Rich Cell Lysate (CRCL) as a source of tumor antigen prepared from patient's tumor and AlloStim(TM) as an adjuvant. The combination of CRCL and AlloStim(TM) is designed to provide cross-reactivity of alloantigen specific recognition with tumor-specific recognition. All the key components necessary to develop tumor-specific immunity by creating the inflammatory environment necessary to overcome the HNC immunosuppressive environment, breaking tumor immune tolerance, and provision of specific HNC antigens for generation of a specific adaptive anti-tumor response.
Relapse of underlying hematologic malignancies after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is frequently treated by a second allogeneic HSCT (HSCT2). Choosing an alternative donor is often advocated to maximize chances of a graft versus tumour (GVT) effect. We and others published that success of this strategy when using an alternative human leukocyte antigen (HLA) identical donor is limited, at least when acute leukemia is the underlying disease. The aggressivity of the rapidly proliferating leukemia seems to prevail over GVT effects. A more potent alloimmune response is observed following haploidentical HSCT, especially early after haploidentical HSCT. This might be related to a fast and large expansion of natural killer (NK)-cells. Their alloreactive effect might translate into higher rates of tumor control. On the other hand, non-relapse complications (treatment related mortality, TRM) might be high in advanced relapsed tumour patients with heavy pretreatment and due to delayed immune reconstitution after haploidentical HSCT. The use of a haploidentical donor for HSCT2 following a first allogeneic HSCT from an HLA identical donor has been so far only systematically evaluated in small retrospective single center reports. Thus, in this multicenter study we aim to collect data on the extent to which participating centers employ haploidentical transplantation in the situation of relapse after HSCT2.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide when given together with obinutuzumab and how well this combination works in treating patients with low-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed). Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may attack specific cancer cells and stop them from growing or kill them. Obinutuzumab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches itself to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as CD20 receptors. When obinutuzumab attaches to CD20 receptors, the signals that tell the cells to grow are blocked and the cancer cell may be marked for destruction by the body's immune system. Giving lenalidomide and obinutuzumab together may work better in treating NHL.
The correlation between relapses in MS and vitamin D intake will be examined.
Rivaroxaban has been developed in the various clinical settings, prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE)after major orthopedic surgery, prevention of stroke in atrial fibrillation, and in the treatment of acute coronary syndromes. And, in the EINSTEIN-pulmonary embolism (PE) and EINSTEIN-deep venous thrombosis (DVT) programs, rivaroxaban showed non-inferior to standard therapy for the treatment of PE and DVT. However, there has been limited experience of rivaroxaban with secondary VTE prophylaxis in cancer patients. Although cancer-associated DVT or PE was included in previously mentioned EINSTEIN programs, only approximately 5% of the total populations were cancer patients in these studies. Thus, investigators could not automatically translate the results of these studies into the real practice management of cancer-associated VTE patients. Moreover, until now, new oral anticoagulants, including dabigatran and rivaroxaban, have been compared to long-term warfarin therapy, which were well-known inferior agent, but not low molecular weight heparin. In this sense, investigators feel that new oral anticoagulants, particularly rivaroxaban, should be re-investigated in this highly specific patients group. Therefore, investigators are planning to conduct a prospective study evaluating the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban in Korean patients with cancer-associated VTE.
This research study is evaluating an investigational drug called "panobinostat" (LBH589) in combination with the standard agents lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone as a possible treatment for multiple myeloma.
