Filter by:This Phase 1 clinical study is designed to examine the safety and feasibility of using anti-CD3/CD28 activated marrow infiltrating lymphocytes (MILs) as treatment of relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) for patients with hematologic malignancies with bone marrow involvement of their relapsed disease. These MILs will be derived from the bone marrow of the relapsed patient who had previously received post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis (PTCy-MILs). A bone marrow aspiration will be performed on the patient to collect ~200ml of marrow for ex vivo expansion. During this expansion process, T cells will be activated and expanded by co-stimulation with anti-CD3/anti-CD28 monoclonal antibodies covalently attached to super-paramagnetic microbeads. Patients will be treated with salvage therapy while this ex vivo expansion is ongoing. After the simultaneous salvage therapy and ex vivo expansion, the activated PTCy-MILs will be reinfused. Patients will be monitored with the primary objective being the feasibility of expanding to targeted dose levels activated PTCy-MILs that do not cause grade III-IV acute GVHD within the first 90 days after PTCy-MIL infusion.
This pilot clinical trial studies donor stem cell transplant followed by cyclophosphamide in treating patients with hematological diseases. Giving chemotherapy before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease). Giving cyclophosphamide after the transplant may stop this from happening.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and clinical efficacy of ibrutinib in subjects with steroid dependent or refractory Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease.
This study is designed to collect longitudinal biological samples from patients after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) cared for at multiple bone marrow transplant centers to validate biomarkers of both acute and chronic GVHD as well as for use in future unspecified research. The centers include Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Boston's Children's Hospital, Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Texas Children's Hospital, Children's National Medical Center, and Indiana University Simon Cancer Center.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of post-transplant cyclophosphamide and a post-transplant infusion of donor cells, that have been specially processed to remove alpha beta t-cells, in patients undergoing a haploidentical allogeneic stem cell transplant to help reduce the risk of relapse without increasing the risk of graft-versus-host disease.
This research study is a Phase II clinical trial, which tests the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug Natalizumab in treating Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease (GVHD) in the Gastrointestinal (GI) Tract.
The investigators hypothesize that adding carfilzomib to standard conditioning regimen for allo-HCT for advanced or high-risk hematologic malignancies will decrease post-transplant relapse and treatment-related mortality by decreasing severe GVHD, leading to overall improvement in transplant outcomes.
This randomized pilot clinical trial studies Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG in reducing incidence of graft-versus-host disease in patients who have undergone donor stem cell transplant. Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG may be effective at preventing for graft-versus-host disease caused by a donor stem cell transplant.
Ocular Graft Versus Host Disease (OGVHD) is a serious potential complication of allogeneic bone marrow transplants. The usual treatment is topical cyclosporine but when the treatment is initiated the damage to the lacrimal glands has already taken place. The present study aims to prevent OGVHD in reduced-intensity allogeneic hematopoietic transplants by using topical cyclosporine immediately after the engraftment has been achieved
Chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD) is a common complication of bone marrow or hematopoietic cell transplant from another person (allogeneic transplant). This study will determine if subjects with steroid dependent/refractory cGVHD can tolerate infusion of donor regulatory T cells and whether their cGVHD responds to the infusion.
