Filter by:Background: Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV)-associated inflammatory cytokine syndrome (KICS) and KSHV-multicentric Castleman disease (MCD) occur in people living with HIV. These diseases cause severe inflammation that can be fatal if not treated. Objective: To test a drug (pacritinib) in people with KSHV-associated KICS or MCD. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with KSHV-associated KICS or MCD. They must have at least one symptom. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests and tests of their heart function. They will have imaging scans. Their ability to perform everyday tasks will be reviewed. In some participants who have Kaposi sarcoma (KS) with KICS or MCD, these individuals may need a bronchoscopy and/or endoscopy of the upper or lower intestine: A flexible tube with a camera and a light source will be inserted through the mouth or anus to see these structures and assess any KS. Pacritinib is a capsule taken by mouth. Participants will take the drug twice a day, every day, for up to 24 weeks. They will write down each dose in a diary. Participants will visit the clinic 3 times in the first 4 weeks. Their visits will taper to once every 4 weeks. Imaging scans, blood tests, and other tests will be repeated during these visits. Participants will give samples of saliva. They may opt to allow tissues samples to be taken from their skin and lymph nodes. Participants will have follow-up visits 7 days and 30 days after their last dose of pacritinib. After that, they will visit the clinic every 3 months for up to 1 year. The physical exam and blood, heart, and imaging tests will be repeated at these visits.
Development, validation of a novel symptom burden scale to assess and quantify the burden experienced by people living with Idiopathic Multicentric Castleman Disease (iMCD).
This study collects blood and tissue samples for research of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related cancers. Collecting blood and tissue samples and studying biomarkers in the laboratory may help doctors to learn how are biologic or genetic factors related to HIV and cancers that occur commonly in people living with HIV.
Observation study on patients with unicentric form of Castleman disease, evaluation of surgical treatment benefit. Observation of surgical treatment strategy.
This study is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation clinical study.Its primary purpose is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of recombinant humanized anti-interleukin-6 receptor monoclonal antibody ( Anti-IL-6R mAb ) injection in patients with Idiopathic Multicentric Castleman's Disease ( iMCD ) and to determine the recommended dose for follow-up studies. Its secondary purpose is to evaluate the preliminary efficacy, immunogenicity and pharmacokinetic ( PK ) index, pharmacodynamic ( PD ) characteristics of Anti-IL-6R mAb injection in patients with iMCD.
The primary aim is to establish a prospective cohort of patients with plasma cell disorders (PCDs). All of the hospitalized PCD patients who are willing to sign the informed consent form (ICF) will be included in this study. Clinical characteristics, treatment options and responses will be collected. Peripheral blood, bone marrow aspirate and urine samples before and after the treatment will banked for future research. Our team will focus on the clinical and pathological features of PCDs, the correlation between the minimal residual disease (MRD) status and prognosis, and the role of Tumor Microenvironment (TME) in the pathogenesis and progress of PCDs.
Solid organ transplant candidates will undergo serological screening for HHV8 at time of listing and transplantation. In the event of a recipient/donor mismatch R-/D+ or in the presence of a seropositive recipient (R+), blood levels of HHV8 DNA will be monitored together with specific IGRA for HHV8.
The purpose of this study is to use agnostic genomic evaluation using whole exome sequencing (WES) of a variety of rare hematologic diseases grouped under rare blood diseases and its variants to further elucidate the understanding of the chemistry of these disorders and identify potential actionable mutations that can be targeted with therapies in the context of clinical trials.
Phase 2 study to investigate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of administering increased siltuximab doses to patients with iMCD
To explore the effectiveness and safety of Zanuburutinib in relapsed and refractory idiopathic Multicentric Castleman's disease (iMCD) patients.
