Graft versus host disease (GVHD) is a major complication of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT), resulting in death in the majority of steroid resistant patients. The study was designed to assess the efficacy of regional intra-arterial treatment in patients with resistant hepatic and/or gastro-intestinal GVHD.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the incidence of Graft vs. Host Disease (GVHD) after non-myeloablative transplantation can be reduced by using a combination of three immune suppressive medication; sirolimus, tacrolimus and methotrexate.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of sirolimus to prevent graft versus host disease (GVHD) in patients following stem cell transplant from a related donor.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of sirolimus to prevent graft versus host disease (GVHD) in patients following stem cell transplant from an unrelated donor. This trial is designed to test the hypothesis that elimination of methotrexate in the unrelated donor group would lead to less transplant-related toxicity while still preserving the effective control of GVHD.
This is a multicenter trial through the Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant Consortium. The Primary hypothesis of this study is that because of its effect as a potent immunosuppressive agent targeting lymphocytes, pentostatin will show a sustained response in pediatric subjects with severe chronic GVHD. Secondary hypotheses include that the infection and toxicity rate of pentostatin in this setting will be acceptable given its lack of severe myelosuppression, and subjects with refractory chronic GVHD will have significant QOL impairment and symptomatology. These may change as subjects are being treated for their chronic GVHD with pentostatin.
This is a clinical trial to see if the addition of etanercept to standard preventative medicines helps in preventing two major complications of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT): decrease the rate of acute graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) and the risk of death.
Etanercept (Enbrel) will be added to standard therapy for acute Graft-versus-Host Disease to see if the effectiveness of standard therapy can be improved. Partial Funding Source- FDA OOPD
To establish the safety and efficacy of two dose levels of ex-vivo cultured adult human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) (Prochymal®) in participants experiencing acute GVHD, Grades II-IV, post hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) transplant.
The purpose of this study is to determine if rituximab is a safe and effective therapy for steroid-refractory chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD).
