Filter by:Immunotherapy with chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CAR-T) has revolutionized the treatment of oncohematological diseases and its applications in solid tumors and non-neoplastic diseases are advancing. Cytopenias after CAR-T therapy are the most frequent complication in the medium and long term after treatment, they are a cause of morbimortality, and there are no effective therapies available. The general objective of the present research project is to analyze, in a series of 40 patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma undergoing consecutive commercial CAR-T therapy at the University Hospital of Salamanca, the characteristics of the hematopoietic niche and the systemic and bone marrow inflammatory status in patients with prolonged cytopenias after CAR-T cell therapy with respect to those without cytopenias and with respect to the pre-treatment situation (performing quantitative and functional analysis of the stroma by immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry and genomic studies, in addition to functional hematopoietic assays-clonogenic assays, long-term cultures-), and to evaluate both in vitro (by co-culturing with macrophages activated by CAR-T/tumor cell interaction and assessing cytokines) and in vivo (in an animal model of lymphoma and CRS) the therapeutic potential of therapies aimed at repairing the hematopoietic bone marrow microenvironment, such as the use of allogeneic mesenchymal cells (MSC) from healthy donors and MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EV) studying their effects on inflammatory mediators, hematopoiesis and the cytotoxic effect of CAR-T.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether upfront emapalumab treatment can help in sAA (Aplastic Anemia) treatment planning and increase the effectiveness of standard treatment options.
This phase II trial evaluates how a curcumin supplement (C3 complex/Bioperine) changes the inflammatory response and symptomatology in patients with clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS), low risk myelodysplastic syndrome (LR-MDS), and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). Chronic inflammation drives disease development and contributes to symptoms experienced by patients with CCUS, LR-MDS, and MPN. Curcumin has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties and has been studied in various chronic illnesses and hematologic diseases.
Background: Immune bone marrow failure is a condition that occurs when a person s immune system attacks the cells of the bone marrow. This can lead to diseases including different types of anemias and blood cancers. Some of these diseases can be deadly. Better treatments are needed. Objective: To test a drug (ruxolitinib) in people with different types of immune bone marrow failure. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 and older with an immune bone marrow failure. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam. They will give samples of blood and saliva. They will have a bone marrow biopsy: A large needle will be inserted into a small cut to remove a sample of the soft tissue inside the bone. Some participants may have a skin biopsy: A small piece of skin will be removed. Some may have a computed tomography (CT) scan: They will lie on a table that slides into a donut-shaped machine that uses X-rays to make pictures of the inside of the body. Ruxolitinib is a tablet taken by mouth. Participants will take the drug twice a day for up to 6 months. Participants will have blood tests every week while they are taking the drug. These tests can be done by the participant s own physician and the results sent to the researchers. Participants will have clinic visits after taking the drug for 3 months and 6 months and then after 1, 2, and 3 years. The blood tests and bone marrow biopsy will be repeated. Participants who improve while taking the drugs may go on to an extension phase of the study.
The goal of this observational study is to characterize the diagnostic and therapeutic management of autoimmune cytopenias including autoimmune hemolytic anemia, immune thrombocytopenia, and chronic idiopathic/autoimmune neutropenia. The main aims to answer are: - evaluation of traditional and novel diagnostic tools including immunohematology, cytokine essays, bone marrow studies, molecular findings, and fecal microbiome. - evaluation of type and sequence of the therapies administered, the response rates, and the adverse events. - evaluation of clinical and laboratory (immunologic, molecular, and morphologic) predictors of outcome. - evolution of autoimmune cytopenias into myelodysplastic syndromes. - a subgroup of patients with myelodysplastic syndromes will be included to evaluate the presence of immunologic events, autoimmune activation, and red cell metabolism. Participants will receive a clinical/laboratory diagnostic workup as per current clinical practice. Furthermore They will be sampled at baseline (peripheral blood and feces for microbiome) and followed up for at least 3 years to evaluate their clinical course, therapeutic management and outcome.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether isatuximab is an effective treatment for people who developed immune cytopenias/ICs after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant/allo-HCT.
The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate povetacicept in adults with autoimmune cytopenias of immune thrombocytopenia, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and cold agglutinin disease to determine if povetacicept is safe and potentially beneficial in treating these diseases. During the study treatment period participants will receive povetacicept approximately every 4 weeks for 6 months, with the possibility of participating in a 6-month study treatment extension period.
This phase II trial tests how well canakinumab works to prevent progression to cancer in patients with clonal cytopenias of unknown significance (CCUS). CCUS is a blood condition defined by a decrease in blood cells. Blood cells are composed of either red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets. In patients with CCUS, blood counts have been low for a long period of time. Patients with CCUS also have a mutation in one of the genes that are responsible for helping blood cells develop. The combination of genetic mutations and low blood cell counts puts patients with CCUS at a higher risk to develop blood cancers in the future. This transformation from low blood cell counts to cancer may be caused by inflammation in the body. Canakinumab is a monoclonal antibody that may block inflammation in the body by targeting a specific antibody called the anti-human interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta).
Patients with medical conditions requiring allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) are at risk of developing a condition called graft versus host disease (GvHD) which carries a high morbidity and mortality. This is a phase I/II study that will test the safety and efficacy of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) with ex-vivo T cell receptor Alpha/Beta+ and CD19 depletion to treat patients' underlying condition. This process is expected to substantially decrease the risk of GvHD thus allowing for the elimination of immunosuppressive therapy post-transplant. The study will use blood stem/progenitor cells collected from the peripheral blood of parent or other half-matched (haploidentical) family member donor. The procedure will be performed using CliniMACS® TCRα/β-Biotin System which is considered investigational.
Study researchers think that a drug called enasidenib may help people with clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS) because the drug blocks the mutated IDH2 protein, which may improve blood cell counts. The purpose of this study is to find out whether enasidenib is a safe and effective treatment for CCUS.
