Filter by: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.
Acute Graft-versus-Host-Disease (GVHD) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). This study aims to determine if any of three new GVHD prophylaxis approaches improves the rate of GVHD and relapse free survival at one year after transplant compared to the current standard prophylaxis regimen.
This is a phase II open label trial designed to evaluate the efficacy of Tac/MTX/Toc in preventing graft versus host disease (GVHD). Outcomes of patients on this clinical trial will be compared to those of contemporary controls from the CIBMTR.
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 specific objectives of this study are: Primary: 1)To determine the relationship between cyclosporine AUC achieved prior to engraftment and severe aGVHD (grade III and IV) Secondary: 1. To determine the relationship between individual concentration-time points achieved prior to engraftment and severe aGVHD (grade III and IV) 2. To validate the previously developed LSS to determine cyclosporine AUC after IV administration at steady state and 3. To describe the relationship between cyclosporine AUC and individual concentration-time points achieved prior to engraftment and other HSCT outcomes (clinically significant aGVHD (grade II to IV), hypertension, engraftment failure, relapse
The primary objective of this trial is as follows: To determine the pharmacokinetics of micafungin given twice weekly in patients at risk for developing an invasive fungal disease (patients who are being treated for acute or chronic graft versus host disease; patients receiving reduced intensity conditioning for Stem Cell Transplant (SCT); receiving first remission induction chemotherapy for Acute Myeloid Leucaemia (AML)/MyeloDysplasticSyndrome (MDS)) compared to the pharmacokinetics of micafungin given daily. The secondary objective of this trial is as follows: To determine whether adequate exposure of micafungin is attained. To determine the safety of micafungin in this patient population
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.
