Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to find out more information relating to the highest dose of KCP-330 that can be given safely and side effects it may cause, to examine how the body affects KCP-330 concentrations in the blood (pharmacokinetics or PK), to examine the effects of KCP-330 on the body (pharmacodynamics or PDn) and to obtain information on its effectiveness in treating cancer.
The present project is a multicenter phase II trail aiming at comparing which of the two postgrafting immunosuppressive regimens proposed in this study will be best suited to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVDH). The immunosuppressive regimens will consist of: Tacrolimus plus Mycophenolate Mofetil or Tacrolimus plus Sirolimus. Before grafting patients will undergo a reduced-intensity conditioning with Fludarabine/total body irradiation (TBI) or Fludarabine/Busulfan/anti-thymoglobuline. Following the interim analysis of October 2014, the protocol has been amended to allow inclusion only after Flu-TBI conditioning. The hypothesis is that the Tacrolimus plus Sirolimus regimen will be associated with better progression-free survival due to a lower incidence of relapse/progression.
It is hypothesized that engraftment when administering cyclophosphamide post the stem cell infusion will increase, the incidence of graft versus host disease (GVHD) and day 100 mortality will decrease, and the use of cyclophosphamide post stem cell infusion with alternative donors will be as safe and as effective as traditional matched transplants.
This research study uses a drug called cyclophosphamide to decrease the incidence of GVHD in matched sibling hematopoietic stem cell transplant. In doing so, the goal of the study is to increase overall survival.
The primary goal of the study is to determine the incidence and severity of acute Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD) following human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched related donor Hematopoetic Stem Cell(HSC) transplant in patients with blood related cancers who receive the combination of tacrolimus and Thymoglobulin as GVHD prophylaxis. The investigators also will determine the safety of this combination in the first six months post transplant. Secondary goals include determining the time to recovery of white blood cells and platelets (engraftment), determining the occurrence of opportunistic infections, defined as infection that occurs in people with weakened immune systems and caused by organisms that do not normally cause disease (fungal infections, pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP), and viral infections), estimating the incidence of chronic GVHD at two years and the overall and disease free survival at two years. Immune response will be assessed by means of immuno-correlative studies both prior to and at various points after transplant.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety profile and tolerability of infusion of cord blood cells expanded in the lab and to evaluated whether through the infusion of expanded cells it is possible to expedite engraftment time after transplantation.
The purpose of this study is to determine: - Condition of intensive care unit (ICU) admission in patients with haematological malignancies. - ICU hospital and up to one year mortality. - Assessment of post ICU burden and health related quality at 90-d and 1 year.
The purpose of the study is to determine the safety and tolerability of RGB-286638, a novel, multi-targeted kinase inhibitor, administered to patients with selected, relapsed or refractory hematological malignancies.
Many patients with hematological malignancies (leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma) cannot undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) because they do not have a well matched donor. HSCT from partially matched family donors (haploidentical HSCT) is an option for most patients but has been associated with poor outcomes. This study was designed to test whether using an exact amount of a donor's lymphocytes (white cells) and dividing the transplant process into 2 steps, would increase overall survival by decreasing complications. The therapy is reduced intensity so it is targeted, but not limited to, patients over the age of 65 or those who have had previous transplants.
This is study is for patients that have been diagnosed with high-risk hematological malignancies. The main purpose of this study is to confirm previously published results of stem cell transplantation with reduced intensity pre-transplant conditioning. Patients will be assigned to 1 of 3 regimens depending on the patient's diagnosis. Participants will be followed by the transplant team for the remainder of the patient's life. Patient's will visit MUSC daily, then visits will be reduced to frequent visits for up to 6 months. After 6 months, the visits will be reduced more depending on the patient's condition.
