Filter by:The main purpose of this trial is to assess the safety and feasibility of treatment with two-dose infusion of allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells from adipose tissue expanded in vitro in patients undergoing haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT, who have developed chronic and extensive graft versus host disease (GVHD). Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) express low levels of HLA class I molecules, and do not express class II molecules neither CD40, CD80 and CD86, being unable to induce proliferation of allogeneic lymphocytes. In addition, MSCs inhibit lymphocyte proliferation by inhibiting cell division and maintaining these cells in a quiescent state. This supports the hypothesis that MSCs are universal suppressors.
This research study will help us learn more about how chronic graft-versus-host disease affects the skin, hair and nails. We are interested in knowing if hair and nail problems predict worse disease. This information may help us treat patients like you in the future.
The purpose of this research study is to better understand the onset and course of graft versus host disease (GVHD)and other immune-mediated disorders after stem cell transplant.
The purpose of the study is to determine if participants who receive the GVHD prophylaxis medication pentostatin will have less severe hepatic toxicities than those receiving MTX. The study is estimated to have sufficient statistical power to ascertain at least a 20% improvement in day 42 NCI CTC grade 2 or above hepatic toxicity-free survival in pentostatin recipients.
To study the effect of ECP with Uvadex® in conjunction with a standard myeloablative conditioning regimen on the incidence of acute and chronic GvHD in patients undergoing an allogeneic related or unrelated BMT or PBSC transplant, for treatment of hematologic or lymphoproliferative malignancies.
By doing this study, researchers hope to understand the many changes that occur in the blood of people who have chronic GvHD. This may also help the researcher understand how ECP works and help guide therapy for patients who have chronic GvHD in the future.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: Determine the safety and tolerability of nilotinib in steroid dependent / refractory cGVHD. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: Determine the clinical efficacy of nilotinib in steroid dependent / refractory cGVHD.
The main objective of the study is to improve the response rate (complete and partial remission) at 12 months after diagnosis of chronic Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) and treatment with the combination of ciclosporine, prednisone and Rituximab as first line treatment.
To test a new agent, LBH589, in combination with glucocorticoids as initial therapy of acute graft versus host disease (GVHD).
This study is designed as a combined Phase II/III, randomized, open label, multicenter, prospective comparative study of sirolimus plus prednisone versus sirolimus/calcineurin-inhibitor plus prednisone for the treatment of chronic GVHD. Patients will be stratified by transplant center and will be randomized to an experimental arm of one of the two pre-specified experimental arms (sirolimus + prednisone or the comparator arm of sirolimus + calcineurin inhibitor + prednisone) in a 1:1 ratio.
