Filter by:This research study is being conducted to treat patients with B-cell lymphoid malignancies. These types of cancers include diffuse large cell (DLBCL) non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), mantle cell NHL, any indolent B cell NHL (such as follicular, small cell or marginal zone NHL), or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Patients with these types of lymphomas have been shown to benefit from peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT). PBSCT uses healthy blood stem cells from a donor to replace your diseased or damaged bone marrow. Before undergoing PBSCT, you'll receive chemotherapy and/or radiation to destroy your diseased cells and prepare your body for the donor cells. This is called a "conditioning regimen." Non-myeloablative (NMA) conditioning causes minimal cell death. This research study will look at a course of treatment using NMA conditioning regimen including low dose chemotherapy and low dose radiation as well as rituximab and PBSCT from a compatible donor. The primary aim is to obtain a preliminary estimate of the overall and event-free survival 1 year post-transplant after NMA.
The primary objective of this phase 2, multicentric, placebo-controlled double-blind, randomized study is to evaluate the efficacy of the combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycine on the viral load drop at day 5 among patients with COVID-19 and hematological malignancies.
This is a Phase II trial testing disease-specific myeloablative conditioning regimens for preparatory cytoreduction of patients receiving allogeneic HLA-compatible related or unrelated transplants of GCSF-mobilized peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) depleted of T-cells by positive selection of CD34+ progenitor cells using the CliniMACS system. The CliniMACS Fractionation system is a method that positively selects CD34+ progenitor cells from PBSC by immunoadsorption of cells binding on anti CD34 monoclonal antibody to paramagnetic beads, which can then be isolated by passage through a magnetized column and released by agitation of beads. Two conditioning regimens have been used successfully with an alternative similar system, isolex, which is no longer being manufactured.
The purpose of this study is evaluate the safety and tolerability of MPH966, a neutrophil elastase inhibitor, and its ability to prevent graft-versus-host disease after hematopoietic stem cell transplant.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if fludarabine, cytarabine (ARA-C), and erwinase (also known as asparaginase [erwinia]) in combination can help to control relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies. The safety of these drugs will also be studied.
This research is being done to test whether a complementary intervention, Reiki therapy, can provide added benefits to the standard patient care. Reiki is method for stress reduction that uses hand positions over and/or on the body to help people relax. We are studying the effect of a 15-minute Reiki application compared to an intervention of nursing presence without Reiki. We hope to find if Reiki can assist in relieving stress, and improving patient outcomes. In the future we would like to offer complementary interventions as an adjunct to our standard care for patients.
Engraftment failure is a major obstacle to the success of cord blood transplantation in children with malignancies and inherited metabolic disorders, despite the fact that they receive relatively high doses of nucleated cells from UCB. TXA127 is pharmaceutically formulated Angiotensin 1-7 [A(1-7)], a non-hypertensive derivative of Angiotensin-II (which contains the 8th amino acid conferring receptor binding to blood pressure receptors). TXA127 has multilineage effects on hematopoietic progenitors in vitro and in vivo. Preclinical data show that TXA127 is a novel stimulator of early multilineage hematopoietic progenitors, increases engraftment of committed hematopoietic progenitors, and induces more rapid production of platelets and neutrophils in the peripheral circulation, especially in limited cell number transplants. Treatment with TXA127 following UCBT is expected to increase the numbers of hematopoietic progenitors and accelerate engraftment.
This is a unique dose-escalation trial that will titrate doses of umbilical cord blood (UCB) Treg and CD3+ Teff cells with the goal of infusing as many CD3+ Teff cells as possible without conferring grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). In this study, the investigators propose to add UCB Treg and UCB CD3+ Teff cells to the two TCD UCB donor units with the goal of transplanting as many CD3+ Teff cells as possible without reintroducing risk of acute GVHD. The investigators hypothesize that Treg will permit the reintroduction of CD3+ Teff cells that will provide a bridge while awaiting HSC T cell recovery long term. The co-infusion of Treg will prevent GVHD without the need for prolonged pharmacologic immunosuppression.
