Filter by:A Phase I Trial of Donor Regulatory T-cells for Steroid-Refractory Chronic Graft-versus-Host-Disease in patients who do not obtain complete remission with ruxolitinib
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of vedolizumab when added to background aGvHD prophylaxis regimen compared to placebo and background aGvHD prophylaxis regimen on intestinal aGvHD-free survival by Day +180 in participants who receive allo-HSCT as treatment for a hematologic malignancy or myeloproliferative disorder.
This is a Phase 2, randomized, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of KD025 in subjects with Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease (cGVHD) after at least 2 prior lines of systemic therapy
The primary objective of the study is to examine the efficacy of ruxolitinib in patients with sclerotic chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation remains the most efficient cellular immunotherapeutic approach for the treatment of myeloid hematological malignancies. However, its use is hampered by the risk of developing acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). Invariant NKT cells (iNKT) represent a good candidate of immuno-regulatory cells that could control GVHD while preserving the anti-leukemic effect (GVL) of HSCT. Our team have shown that higher numbers and expansion capacity of CD4- iNKT cells contained in the HSC graft were associated with reduced risk of aGVHD but preserved GVL effect and that some healthy donors have low numbers and expansion capacity CD4- iNKT cells 1. The objective of this project is to develop a strategy allowing to expand human CD4- iNKT cells from healthy donors of HSC grafts that would be transposable to GMP-validated cell production. Our team proposes to first determine the best strategy to expand the CD4- iNKT cell subset from G-SCF mobilized peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) obtained from healthy donors, at little scale using cultures GMP validated conditions, by comparing the convention expansion protocol using IL-2 alone to IL-7, IL-15, IL-4 or combination of those cytokines involved in the expansion of T cells and by culturing the cells in a bioreactor. Our team will then explore the characteristics of cells after expansion in terms of phenotype, transcription signature and functions in vitro (in mixed lymphocyte reaction) and in vivo in a well-established xenogeneic model of GVHD.
Acute graft versus host-disease remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The incidence of grade II to IV acute GVHD ranges from 30 to 50% of the patients transplanted. Steroids remain the standard first line treatment for acute GVHD. Prolonged exposure to steroids is associated to increased risk of infections and of osteoporosis, osteonecrosis and alteration of growth in children. Thus, reducing steroid exposure in order to reduce treatment-related morbidity is another important goal in the management of standard risk aGVHD. Extracoporeal photopheresis (ECP) is active in controlling steroid refractory or dependent acute GVHD. Hypothesis: In this study, the team hypothesizes that addition of ECP to first line treatment with 2 mg/kg steroids of standard risk grade II aGVHD can reduce steroid exposure by increasing the probability of 6 month FFTF including absence of systemic steroids for chronic GVHD.
The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and efficacy of the addition of BMS-986004 to standard of care Sirolimus (SIR)-based immune suppression.
This is a Phase 1/2, Open-label, Dose Escalation study to investigate SNDX-6352 in participants with active chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD).
Background: This study follows people who have had, or will soon have, a transplant using stem cells from another person. This is known as an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) can happen after HSCT. cGVHD can cause mouth problems and more serious issues. Researchers want to study changes in the mouth that might indicate cGVHD. Objective: To identify cGVHD in the mouth and better understand the development, treatment, and progress of post-transplant changes in the mouth. Eligibility: Adults at least 18 years old who will soon undergo HSCT or have had one in the past 3 years Healthy adults at least 18 years old Design: All participants will have a screening visit and baseline visit. They will last 60-90 minutes. Over these two visits, participants will have: Medical and dental history Dental exam. Questions about their eating habits and general health Blood drawn through a needle in the arm Vital signs taken Pictures of their mouth and lips taken Questions about their oral health, including about pain, sensitivity, or dryness Saliva samples taken. Participants will spit into a sterile plastic tube. Swabs taken of the mouth and some of the saliva, plaque, and fluid from the spaces between teeth and gums. Participants may also have: A piece of skin taken (biopsy) from the inner lining of the cheeks A piece of skin taken (biopsy) from the lower lip Dental X-rays Urine pregnancy test Most participants will have at least 7 study visits over 3 years. They will meet with a dentist and repeat baseline tests.
This study evaluates the use of Brimonidine tartrate nanoemulsion eye drop solution in the treatment of ocular Graft Verses Host Disease (oGVHD). Two thirds of participants will receive Brimonidine and one third will receive ophthalmic buffered saline (placebo).
