Filter by:Part 1 will be conducted as an open-label, non-randomized, non-placebo-controlled dose escalation study using pre-specified doses. Subjects with the following advanced hematological disorders and no available therapies, and who satisfy all inclusion/exclusion criteria will be enrolled. The purpose is to identify the recommended dose of oral ORH-2014 in subjects with advanced hematological disorders. Part 2 will be an expansion phase conducted as a single-arm, open-label study to further evaluate the safety and tolerability of ORH-2014 at the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended dose determined from Part 1 in the fasted state. Subjects with the same disease types as in Part 1 will be enrolled. All subjects will receive oral ORH-2014, in the fasted state, at the recommended dose for an initial period of up to 12 weeks. The purpose is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of oral ORH-2014 in a population of subjects with advanced hematological disorders when administered at the recommended dose.
A qualitative study assessing the impact of early narrative medicine practice on Medical Honors Program (MHP) students' attitudes regarding patient-centered interactions, through interviewing patients with chronic or life-limiting illnesses to obtain their illness stories. MHP students will develop a patient narrative for the patients interviewed. These narratives will be edited by the patient, and, with the permission of the patients, may be published as a collection of stories.
The aim of this study is to adjust and test an existing internet-based tool for collecting patient-reported outcome measures and to use the internet-based tool in an multidisciplinary follow-up of patients treated for malignant hematological diseases. The patient-reported outcome measurements will be used in describing the patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and to investigate whether the HRQol will increase due to participation in multidisciplinary follow-up.
This study will randomized hematology oncology patients with active diarrhea and a NAAT positive/toxin EIA negative to either 14 days of oral vancomycin capsules or placebo. The study is designed to include 30 patients (15 per arm). Outcomes will include C. difficile load using qPCR, VRE loads, structural and functional microbiome changes and frequency of bowel movements. All endpoints will be measured at several time points including days 0, 14, 21 and 90.
This study is a single-center, treatment protocol with 4 possible preparative regimens, designed to validate the process of umbilical cord blood stem cell transplantation at our institution.
The trial is an open-label, 4 cohorts, sequential, dose-escalating, single dose trial.
The overall goal of the project is to reduce pain-related, 30-day readmission rates for sickle cell disease (SCD) patients. The investigators want to see if a mobile phone application (app) can help decrease the need for repeat admission to the hospital because of sickle cell pain.
Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality for recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(HSCT). we propose to study the immunologic and virologic effects of donor derived CMV specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CMV-CTL) given to transplant recipients CMV antigen peptides will be used to induce the CMV antigen specific T lymphocytes derived from donor peripheral blood mononuclear cells for a period of 18~21 days.The patients will receive CMV-CTL cells when they are sero-positive for CMV-DNA 30 days after transplant. The CMV-DNA level will be monitored weekly after transfusion.
The purpose of this study is to compare clinical judgment and comprehensive geriatric assessment as screening tools for optimization of treatment for newly diagnosed elderly multiple myeloma patients.
This study aims to examine the effect of ginger beverage consumption on platelets activity in apparently healthy Saudi adult volunteers. As for the Saudi population, consumption of powdered ginger dissolved in hot water is a common practice. Accordingly, in this study, it is tempting to speculate the effect of this form of ginger consumption, given in separate time points per day, on platelet aggregation profile by using platelet aggregation analogues. If positive results were obtained, the herb could provide natural protection against the development of platelet aggregation complications and could be a potential alternative to aspirin, used for improving blood circulation and hematological pathophysiologies in diseased individuals.
