Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the impact and safety of itacitinib in combination with calcineurin inhibitor (CNI)-based interventions for the prophylaxis of graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD).
This is a phase 1, non-randomized, single-arm, open label, single center clinical trial to determine the tolerability and safety of pirfenidone in patients with BOS associated with lung GVHD after hematopoietic cell transplant.
A Randomized, Double-blinded, Placebo-Controlled Study for the Treatment of Ocular Chronic Graft Verses Host Disease with Processed Amniotic Fluid (pAF) Drops.
Patients with acute leukemia relapsing after allotransplant and who respond to anti-leukaemia interventions are at high-risk of a second relapse. Previous studies from investigators reported an association between a positive minimal residual disease (MRD)-test after transplant and an increased risk of subsequent relapse. Also, patients developing chronic graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) after receiving DLI (donor lymphocyte infusion)for leukemia relapse after a first allotransplant have a lower likelihood of a second relapse compared with similar patients not developing chronic GvHD. And, our previous study also reported patients with chronic GvHD after DLI was associated with a greater frequency of a negative MRD-test and lower likelihood of subsequent relapse compared with similar persons not developing chronic GvHD. Based on these data the investigators designed a randomized control study to determine whether giving additional consolidation chemotherapy and DLI might decrease likelihood of second relapse in persons without chronic GvHD or with a positive MRD-test after initial post-relapse therapy with induction chemotherapy and DLI.
Acute or chronic graft versus host disease is still the major complication of stem cells transplantation regarding morbidity and mortality. Recently, high dose cyclophosphamide utilization early after post-transplantation (day+ 3 and +4) not only for patients with HLA- haploidentical donor but also for patients with Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-compatible donor, showed a great control of graft versus host disease after transplantation, allowing to consider stopping immunosuppressive treatment after the transplantation (Neoral=cyclosporine, cell-cept=mycophenolate mofetil). Indeed, this step has already been completed in myeloablative transplantation in adult patients. This approach could enable to avoid in the end several complications related to long term immunosuppressive drugs administration, while promoting quicker immunity recovery.
Multicenter, open-label, prospective treatment protocol that provides continued access to ibrutinib to subjects who have completed parent ibrutinib studies, are still benefitting from treatment with ibrutinib, and have no access to commercial ibrutinib for their underlying disease within their region.
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HTC) is the only curative option for many patients with hematologic malignancies but >50% of this patients will develop extensive chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD), which remains the most important complication after HTC. Classically, the most effective strategies to prevent GVHD have not improved survival; therefore, the new strategies are being sought. This study is designed in two phases: the main objective for phase I study is the more suitable dose for ixazomib search. Phase II study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of ixazomib at the doses stablished in phase I.
The investigators hypothesize that perturbations in the intestinal microbiota following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are essential for the development and propagation of acute graft-versus-host disease. Therefore, modification of HSCT recipients' gut microbiota using fecal transplantation from a healthy donor could be used to treat gut acute GVHD. The study evaluates safety and feasibility of fecal microbiota transplantation with frozen capsules from healthy donors for the treatment of steroid resistant or steroid dependent acute graft-versus-host disease of the gut.
Given the role of B cells in the pathophysiology of chronic graft versus host disease (GvHD), the association between elevated BAFF levels post-transplant in abnormal B-cell homeostasis and chronic GvHD, and the efficacy of belimumab in the inhibition of soluble human B lymphocyte stimulator protein (BAFF) signaling, these proof-of-principle findings support the rational for use of belimumab as prophylaxis of chronic GvHD. The investigators propose a pilot and feasibility study to assess the safety and tolerability, as well as preliminary efficacy, of belimumab as prophylaxis of chronic GvHD following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT). The investigators' central hypothesis is that belimumab will be well tolerated and have a favorable effect on incidence and severity of chronic GvHD.
The main aim is to test the preventive use of extracorporeal photophoresis (ECP) against development of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation for hematological malignancy.
