To observe the effect of stem cell infusion on the development of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) in patients with malignant hematologic diseases after allogeneic peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-PBSCT)
This randomized placebo-controlled double-blind phase II trial tests whether fecal microorganism (microbiota) transplantation prevents severe acute graft versus host disease in adults undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Fecal microbiota transplantation involves receiving processed fecal material orally after allogeneic HCT in order to establish a healthy gut microbiota. Gut microbiota undergoes major alterations during allogeneic HCT because of antibiotic exposures, nutritional changes, and chemotherapy administration. Establishing a healthy gut microbiota via fecal transplantation may help prevent acute graft versus host disease in patients undergoing allogeneic HCT.
This trial is a randomized (1:1) phase III open label study of frontline mini-MTX plus methylprednisolone 2mg/kg/day compared to methylprednisolone 2mg/kg in allogeneic stem cell transplant recipients with grade 2-4 aGVHD.
Despite significant progress in overall survival and event-free survival in Pediatric Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT), therapeutic options for graft-versus-host disease control remain limited, particularly in steroid-refractory patients. Several strategies have been proposed in the last 20 years but so far, the results have been inconclusive, complicated by the small population afflicted, inconsistent treatment schedules, different disease classifications and diagnosis methods. The number of studies concerning pediatric patients are even smaller. First line therapy for acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is steroid treatment that achieve partial or complete remission of the disease in a variable percentage of cases (40-60%), depending mainly to severity of GVHD and number of organ involvement, with hepatic and gastrointestinal GVHD particularly refractory to steroid treatment. For second line therapy there is no a standardized strategy with a great variety of immunosuppressive treatment without a real superiority of a drug in comparison to another. Steroid refractory acute GVHD is therefore one of the most important challenges in HSCT field. One of the more promising routes, based on published data and clinical experience, is the off-label use of Infliximab, an anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor α drug (already approved for many rheumatologic and autoimmune diseases) administered as a second line treatment in patients with steroid-refractory aGVHD at the standardized dosage of 10 mg/kg, although limited evidence has been published to validate this subscription. Biological pattern that could explain susceptibly of GVHD to infliximab treatment could lie in physiopathology of acute gastrointestinal GVHD that may resemble ulcerative rectocolitis. In this case, relation to Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) and Tumor Necrosis Factor α (TNFα) levels could be critical in monitoring the efficacy of the drug and need of further doses. Limited published data and clinical experience show that Infliximab may be able to further control symptoms and inflammatory response in a promising percentage of treated patients, although some have no benefit from the treatment. The aim of this study is to analyze the role of TNFα concentration in aGVHD, its levels fluctuation and clinical response of GVHD to Infliximab treatment in steroid-refractory pediatric patients.
To evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and clinical activity of Itolizumab in subjects with Newly diagnosed Acute Graft Versus Host Disease(aGVHD).
The primary purpose of the study is to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of GDC-8264 in participants with acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD).
This phase I trial tests the safety and side effects of leflunomide in combination with steroids in treating patients with acute graft versus host disease who have undergone done stem cell transplant for blood cancers (hematologic malignancies). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can attack the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease). Leflunomide and steroids are immunosuppressive drugs that work in different ways to lower the body's immune response so that the new donor immune cells do not attack the body's normal cells. Giving leflunomide in combination with steroids may help treat acute graft versus host disease in patients after stem cell transplant for hematologic malignancies.
This is a two-part, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single center study to investigate the safety and tolerability of XBI-302 administered orally in healthy volunteers. The hypothesis of this study is that XBI-302 is safe and well tolerated with the proposed dosing regimens.
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
