Study purpose: to explore the entire spectrum of proteomic and genomic changes (amongst others) involved in diseases and in healthy/control populations. The Study is designed to discover biomarkers, develop and validate diagnostic assays, instruments and therapeutics as well as other medical research. Specifically, researchers may analyze proteins, RNA, DNA copy number changes, including large and small (1,000-100,000 kb) scale rearrangements, transcription profiles, epigenetic modifications, sequence variation, and sequence in both diseased tissue and case-matched germline DNA from Subjects.
The primary objectives of this study is to evaluate the tolerability and safety of KSD-101 in Patients with EBV-associated haematologic neoplasms, observe the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and and to explore the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).
Background: Many advances have been made in cancer treatments, but more research is needed. Comparing samples of cancerous tissue to samples of normal, noncancerous tissues may help find differences between them. These differences may help researchers find new ways to treat cancer. Objective: To collect tissues and blood samples from people with known or suspected cancer. The samples will be used to help identify new targets for cancer treatments. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with a known or suspected cancer that requires surgery or biopsy. Design: Participants will be screened. They will answer questions about their health. They can do this on the phone or in person. Researchers will collect information from participants medical records. Data may include information about any prior or current cancers. Data about other medical conditions may also be collected. Participants will have blood drawn. Some of the blood will be tested for HIV and hepatitis B and C. Some of the blood will be used for genetic research. Participants will have tissue samples collected during surgeries or biopsies. These are procedures the participants would have had as part of their standard care. No new procedures will be done just for this study. Researchers may also seek out samples from prior procedures the participant had done. Participants will remain in the study for 6 months. They may have blood drawn again. Researchers may also collect tissue samples from any procedures performed during that time.
The purpose of the study is to investigate whether a simple taste-test will increase the intake of energy as part of the individual dietary counseling.
This is a non-interventional, long-term safety study of allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy in patients who have participated in a prior Caribou-sponsored clinical study, in a special access program, or in another study such as an IIT. Its purpose of is to collect long-term observational data to identify and understand potential late side effects in patients who have received CAR-T cell therapies.
The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about the long-term safety, effectiveness and prolonged action of Kite study drugs, axicabtagene ciloleucel, brexucabtagene autoleucel, KITE-222, KITE-363, KITE-439, KITE-585, and KITE-718, in participants of Kite-sponsored interventional studies.
Cytotoxic treatment for malignant hematologic disorders often casue thrombocytopenia that can result in life threatening bleedings. This is prevented by platelet transfusions but these can cause serious transfusion reactions and thus the number of transused platelet concentrates should be limited. It is therefore important that the platelet concentrates contain functional platelets with long circulation time in the bloodstream. We have developed a method with flow cytometry to measure platelet function markers. It allows us to determine which pathways that are initiated upon activation. The aim of this project is to assess to what degree spontaneous activation of platelets as well as their activation capacity affects the transfusion response (i.e. uptake in the circulation and circulation time) in the recipient. The hypothesis is that transfusion of platelets with low spontaneous activation and high activation capacity will lead to a higher transfusion response in the recipient.
This study consists of two parts: 1) Part 1, a retrospective part on 250 consecutive patients following allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HSCT) at the Royal Melbourne Hospital from 2012 to 2017, inclusive, and 2) Part 2, a prospective part on 120 allo-HSCT patients from 4 sites in Australia: the Royal Melbourne Hospital, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Austin Hospital, and Westmead Hospital. In Part 1, medical records of allo-HSCT recipients will be evaluated to determine the incidence and clinical outcomes of CMV viremia post HSCT, including both the direct (CMV disease) and indirect (such as invasive fungal infection, other viral infections, bacterial infection) effects on clinical outcomes. In Part 2, allo-HSCT participants at risk of CMV disease will be assessed to determine the association of host CMV-specific immunity with clinical management and outcomes over one year post allo-HSCT. The overall aims of the study are to establish if CMV infection in allo-HSCT patients are associated with poor clinical outcomes; and whether measurement of immunological functions could provide an early indicator to identify patients at risk and appropriate timing for initiation of CMV treatment.
Background: - Gene therapy is a way to treat or prevent disease using genes. It is monitored very closely by regulators because there can be long-term, unexpected side effects. NIH is required to try to contact people who have been treated with gene therapy at least annually for up to 15 years. This is to see if they have had any bad side effects. This trial does not include any therapy and is only for patients previously treated on gene-therapy trials at the NCI Surgery Branch who are no longer enrolled on their original gene therapy clinical trial. Objective: - To collect of long-term follow-up data on people who have been in gene transfer studies. This follow-up is required by regulators. Eligibility: - People age 18 and older who have been in a previous NCI Surgery Branch gene therapy research study. Design: - After they get the genetically modified cells, participants will: - Have blood drawn 3, 6, and 12 months later. - Have an annual clinic visit for the next 4 years. They will have a physical exam. They will answer questions about any signs of neurological, autoimmune, or blood disorders, or any new cancers. Blood may be drawn. - Be called or emailed annually for the next 10 years. They will answer health questions. Blood samples may need to be taken. - Participants will be asked for their current address and phone number. They will also be asked for the address and phone number of 1 or 2 people who will know their whereabouts. One of these should be a family member if possible, - At the time of the participant s death, researchers will request permission from their family for an autopsy.
