Filter by:Children with acute and chronic illness undergo frequent, painful, and distressing procedures. This randomized control trial was used to evaluate the effectiveness of guided imagery (GI) vs virtual reality (VR) on the procedural pain and state anxiety of children and young adults undergoing un-sedated procedures. We explored the role of trait anxiety and pain catastrophizing in intervention response.
Interventional non-randomized trial. The duration of study will be 47 months. After haploidentical transplantation, patients without complications, mainly a GVHD ≥ grade 2, will receive mDLI. mDLI consists of donor lymphocytes infusion, harvested by apheresis the day before the day planned for infusion (or up to -7 days) as outpatient basis in the Day Hospital using a cell separator. The mDLIs preparation will be performed using a CliniMACS® (Miltenyi). A CD45RA-depletion Product LineTM from Miltenyi, including disposable reagents and devices, will be used. The planned number of mDLI is 3. 1. Day +50 (+/- 7 days) from allogenic transplant, 1st mDLI 5x105CD3+/kg of recipient. 2. 4-6 weeks after 1st DLI, 2nd mDLI 1x106CD3+/kg of recipient. 3. 4-6 weeks after 2nd DLI, 3rd mDLI 5x106CD3+/kg of recipient. Day +50 was chosen as the starting time-point because at that time over two thirds of all acute GvHD episodes have already occurred in the absence of DLI (internal data, median +49 after bone marrow, +27 after peripheral stem cells); acute GvHD will thus be less likely a confounding factor. The choice of a maximum number of 3 mDLIs is based on the relatively narrow time interval where outcome improvement is expected, that is mainly in the first 6 months after haplo-HSCT. The planned doses are those mainly used in conventional DLIs during haplo-HSCT setting. Stopping infusion rules: If GvHD ≥ Grade 2 or relapse occurs, mDLIs will not be administered at any time and patient will be permanently discontinued from treatment. If any severe adverse event (SAE) occurs after the first mDLI, the administration of mDLI will be interrupted for a maximum of 6 weeks until event resolution. If the SAE does not resolve after 6 weeks from last mDLI infusion, patient will be permanently discontinued. At any time, the experimental treatment may be stopped according to clinical judgement or patient's willing.
Genital HPV is the necessary cause for cervical cancer, as well as a major contributing cause of several other cancers and conditions. There are now effective vaccines against the main oncogenic HPV types, HPV16 and 18. Most research and discussion has focused on targeting the vaccine to young women and older adolescents. Based on this, a national free HPV vaccination program for adolescent girls commenced in 2007, in Australia. However, at the time of commencement, there had been no research on the use of this vaccine in immunosuppressed. Therefore, information on the immunogenicity, safety and duration of efficacy of HPV vaccine when administered to immunosuppressed children is needed. This trial looked at a 3 dose schedule of quadrivalent HPV vaccine in a range of immunosuppressed children, with the endpoint being immunogenicity, followed for 5 years for duration of immunity.
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is used to treat an expanding array of malignant and non-malignant disorders. This is a prospective multicenter study, in pediatric allo-BMT recipients to analyze the spectrum of noninfectious pulmonary complications (PC), to evaluate the prevalence and course of PFT abnormalities before and after transplant, and to detect risk factor for PC.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if ribavirin can help to control RSV in patients with immune systems that have been weakened by a stem cell transplant. Researchers also want to compare the effectiveness of the drug when it is given by mouth to when it is inhaled. The safety of the drug in both methods of delivery will be studied. Ribavirin is designed to prevent the RSV virus from making more copies of itself in the body.
