Filter by:This study is being done in patients who have been receiving corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive therapies for the treatment of cGVHD for at least 6 months. The purpose of this study is to find out if itacitinib in combination with corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive therapies is safe and effective in people with cGVHD.
The study is designed as an open-label, single arm Phase III, multicenter trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of T-Guard treatment in patients with Steroid-Refractory acute Graft versus Host Disease (SR-aGVHD).
This phase I/II trial studies whether glasdegib is helpful in treating sclerosis associated with chronic graft-versus-host disease. It will also investigate the safety of glasdegib in treating patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease.
The study compares two acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) prophylaxis regimens: efprezimod alfa vs placebo with the standard GVHD prophylaxis of tacrolimus / methotrexate. The study compares two acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) prophylaxis regimens: efprezimod alfa/tacrolimus / methotrexate (efprezimod alfa/Tac/MTX) versus placebo/tacrolimus / methotrexate (placebo/Tac/MTX) in the setting of myeloablative conditioning (MAC), matched unrelated donor (MUD) allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in participants with acute leukemia (AML/ALL) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The study agent, efprezimod alfa, will be administered through IV infusion on days -1, 14, and 28 at the dose of 480mg, 240 mg and 240mg, respectively. The placebo will be 100 ml normal saline intravenous (IV) solution.
The study's primary objective is designed to assess the safety and tolerability, and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of both itacitinib and tocilizumab when given in combination to patients with steroid-refractory acute graft versus host disease (SR-aGVHD). The study's secondary objectives are to: - Estimate the day 28 response rate (ORR) [complete response (CR), very good partial response (VGPR), and partial response (PR)] of the combination of itacitinib and tocilizumab for the treatment of SR-aGVHD - Estimate the time to response and duration of response - Estimate the incidence of primary disease relapse while on study treatment - Estimate the incidence of infections including viral reactivation, bacterial infections and fungal infections while on study treatment - Estimate the progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), non-relapse mortality, GVHD-related mortality of study subjects - Estimate the proportion of patients who successfully discontinue steroids by 6 months and 12 months after therapy initiation
Finding a donor remains a challenge for patients in need of an urgent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The ability to obtain half matched stem cells from any family member represents a significant breakthrough in the field. Haploidentical haplo-HSCT is characterized by the nearly uniform and immediate availability of a donor and the availability of the donor for post-transplant cellular immunotherapy. However, haplo-HSCT has a high risk of Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD) and poor immune reconstitution when GvHD is prevented by all existing methods of vigorous ex vivo or in vivo T-cell depletion. Different treatment approaches are currently being explored to mitigate complications such as graft rejection, severe GvHD, and prolonged immune suppression. Novel experimental utilization of T regulatory cells, alloreactive natural killer (NK) cells, and other T cell subsets hold great promise. Cellect Biotherapeutics' platform technology, ApoGraft, is based on the findings that GvHD can be prevented by Fas receptor mediated selective depletion of T cell subsets, ex vivo. The investigators hypothesize that the use of ApoGrafts for haplo-HSCT will be safe, and reduce rates of GVHD without affecting Graft-versus-Leukemia (GvL).
TrRaMM-TMI is a phase I trial to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of an original sequential TMI/TrRaMM (Total Marrow Irradiation/Treosulfan-Rapamycin-Mycophenolate Mofetil) schedule in patients with hematological malignancies in advanced stage of disease undergoing an allogenic Stem Cell Transplant (SCT). The aim is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of TMI when combined with conditioning chemotherapy to transplant according to TrRaMM schedule.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate itacitinib in combination with corticosteroids for the treatment of Grades II to IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) in steroid-naive pediatric participants.
This research study is studying the removal of a subset of white blood cells (called alpha/beta T cells) from the donor product using a cell separation device before the product is transplanted into the participant. The device used to remove the α/βT cells in this study is: -CliniMACS® TCR α/β Reagent System
Allogeneic stem cell transplant is used to treat a variety of blood cancers. However, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common condition that may occur after transplant. GVHD happens when the donor cells attack and damage the recipients' tissue. The standard medication to treat chronic graft-versus-host-disease (cGVHD) is corticosteroids. However, there are long-term side effects of steroid therapy, including risk of infection, bone loss and other health problems. In addition, some patients with cGVHD do not respond to standard steroid therapy. In these cases, medications to suppress the immune system may be used. The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects, both good and bad, of combining the drugs ibrutinib and rituximab for the treatment of cGVHD. Ibrutinib is Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved for the treatment of cGVHD which has not responded to steroid therapy. Rituximab is an investigational drug, which means it is not FDA approved for this particular use. Rituximab is currently approved for treatment of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL), Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), and other conditions, but is not FDA approved for the treatment of cGVHD. However, rituximab has been used in a clinic setting for the treatment of cGVHD in a number of patients over the past few years, and has generally been well tolerated and shown some benefit. The combination of ibrutinib and rituximab is being studied in the treatment of certain types of lymphoma and chronic leukemia, but it has not yet been combined for patients with cGVHD. Because ibrutinib is not approved for this use when combined with rituximab, it is considered investigational in this study. In this form, the term "study drug" refers to ibrutinib and rituximab. This study will involve people who have chronic GVHD, have previously taken corticosteroids, and have either not benefited from treatment with corticosteroids or have been unable to successfully taper off steroids.
