Filter by:HSCT associated thrombotic microangiopathy(TA-TMA) is a heterogeneous, fatal disorder seen within 100 days post-transplant and presents with thrombocytopenia, hemolysis, acute renal failure, mental status changes and involvement of other organs. N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) is a small, simple molecule that began as a generic drug almost 40 years ago. It has since been approved by the FDA for many indications. The investigators conducted an prospective clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficiency of NAC in patients with TA-TMA.
The purpose of this observational study is to compare the administration of standard of care Multigam IV 5% and standard of care Multigam IV 10% in order to observe changes in infusion time and infusion related reactions. Patient satisfaction, number of actions taken by the nursing staff during infusion and satisfaction of the nursing staff will also be evaluated.
This randomized phase II trial includes a blood stem cell transplant from an unrelated donor to treat blood cancer. The treatment also includes chemotherapy drugs, but in lower doses than conventional (standard) stem cell transplants. The researchers will compare two different drug combinations used to reduce the risk of a common but serious complication called "graft versus host disease" (GVHD) following the transplant. Two drugs, cyclosporine (CSP) and sirolimus (SIR), will be combined with either mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) or post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy). This part of the transplant procedure is the main research focus of the study.
This research trial collects and stores blood, tissue, and bone marrow specimens from patients with cancer or blood disorders, and healthy volunteers to study the immune system in a variety of different types of experiments, as well as associated clinical data as appropriate, focused on understanding mechanisms of immunotherapy.
This pilot clinical trial compares the safety of two different platelet transfusion "thresholds" among patients with blood cancer or treatment-induced thrombocytopenia whose condition requires anticoagulant medication (blood thinners) for blood clots. Giving relatively fewer platelet transfusions may reduce the side effects of frequent platelet transfusions without leading to undue bleeding.
Subjects with hematologic malignancies or recipients of a first allogenic or autologus hematopoietic stem cell transplant, without any evidence or respiratory infection, will receive 4 doses of PUL-042 Inhalation Solution over a 2 week period. Subjects will be evaluated for tolerability of the drug. If tolerated, dose escalation may occur with up to 4 dose levels tested
This is a study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Miltenyi CliniMACS® CD34 Reagent System to promote engraftment of haploidentical CD34+ selected cells combined with single unit umbilical cord blood transplant for treatment of high-risk hematologic disorders.
This pilot study evaluates safety of administration of red blood cell transfusions requested by patients based on their symptoms instead of levels of hemoglobin for the treatment of chronic anemia in patients with blood disorders.
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is the only treatment option with a significant chance of healing in lymphoid hematological refractory or multiple relapses after chemotherapy. However, all patients with an indication of allo-HSC can not benefit because of two limitations: the toxicity of the treatment and graft shortage available. For patients refractory or in relapses with an indication of allo-HSC, used the combinaison of an SET followed by the reduced-intensity allo-HSC (RIC) has shown some interesting results. A post-transplant immune modulation with prophylactic injections of donor lymphocytes (PDLI) showed its effectiveness to decrease the risk of relapse while having a lower toxicity than chemotherapy
To characterize the safety and tolerability of 1) MBG453 as a single agent or in combination with PDR001 or 2) PDR001 and/or MBG453 in combination with decitabine or azacitidine in AML and intermediate or high- risk MDS patients, and to identify recommended doses for future studies.
