Filter by:The purpose of this study is to gather data on patients diagnosed with and treated for classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL). It aims to closely observe how treatment for cHL is rendered, as well as assess the outcome of those treatment options and their impact on quality of life. Additional analyses will also attempt to identify prognostic or predictive biomarkers
Current protocols use G-CSF to mobilize hematopoietic progenitor cells from matched sibling and volunteer unrelated donors. Unfortunately, this process requires four to six days of G-CSF injection and can be associated with side effects, most notably bone pain and rarely splenic rupture. BL-8040 is given as a single SC injection, and collection of cells occurs on the same day as BL-8040 administration. This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of this novel agent for hematopoietic progenitor cell mobilization and allogeneic transplantation based on the following hypotheses: - Healthy HLA-matched donors receiving one injection of BL-8040 will mobilize sufficient CD34+ cells (at least 2.0 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg recipient weight) following no more than two leukapheresis collections to support a hematopoietic cell transplant. - The hematopoietic cells mobilized by SC BL-8040 will be functional and will result in prompt and durable hematopoietic engraftment following transplantation into HLA-identical siblings with advanced hematological malignancies using various non-myeloablative and myeloablative conditioning regimens and regimens for routine GVHD prophylaxis. - If these hypotheses 1 and 2 are confirmed after an interim safety analysis of the data, then the study will continue and include recruitment of haploidentical donors.
Allogeneic transplantation is used to treat many malignant and non-malignant diseases. The investigators and others have shown that less toxic preparative regimens (reduced intensity or 'mini' transplants) allow reliable allogeneic engraftment and durable remissions, significantly broadening the population of patients who may be offered this therapy to those who are older and more infirmed. The field is now focusing on the period post transplant for approaches to immune recovery leading to improved outcomes. The primary objective of this registry is to catalogue data from patients who undergo standard of care reduced intensity allogeneic transplantation.
The study investigates the time to engraftment of a mesenchymal expanded cord blood unit in patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing transplantation with myeloablative conditioning.
More than 90% of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) can recover thanks to conventional polychemotherapy regimens - ABVD or BEACOPP - with or without radiotherapy. Nevertheless, some patients relapse and others are resistant to any treatment. These patients represent 2-5% of stage I / II and 5-10% of disseminated stages. The usual prognostic index based on clinical and biological data (supradiaphragmatic HL: EORTC and advanced HL International Prognostic Score) cannot always detect patients at risk. New prognostic factors are required to screen out these high risk patients. Among available biological factors, we will retain the cytokines secreted by tumor cells and cells from the environment. Indeed, the prognostic value of plasma cytokines levels and their soluble receptors has recently been described by at least two teams. Olivier CASASNOVAS set up a prognostic index based on quantities of IL-1 RA, IL-6, sCD30 and TNFR1 at diagnosis,and the V. Diehl team published the prognostic value of the decrease of TARC (CC Thymus and Activation-related chemokine). In daily practice, the early assessment of response by PET CT-scan is now an undeniable prognostic factor. Early identification of no-response or relapse is, in fact, based on clinical and imaging (PET-CT scan). We propose to evaluate the decrease of cytokines concentration with a prognostic value (TARC, IL-6, IL1-RA, sCD30, TNFR1) as markers of response during treatment and during early follow-up. The dosage of these cytokines will be paired with radiological assessments. A correlation between the decrease of cytokines plasma levels overtime and event-free survival will be searched afterwards.
High-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous (the patient's own) peripheral blood (circulating blood) stem cell (cells that divide to form white cells, red cells and cells that help clot) transplantation is a conventional treatment for patients with lymphoma (cancer of lymph glands) and Hodgkin's disease (cancer of lymph glands) after first relapse (recurrence of disease). For patients who did not have a complete response after traditional chemotherapy, the chance is high that the tumor will return even after high-dose chemotherapy. To improve the response and decrease the chance of relapse, doctors have used rituximab, an antibody that kills lymphoma cells, both before and after transplantation. These doctors have reported that more patients had control of the tumor for an extended period of time using rituximab with high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation. How widely this is applicable is not known. The purpose of this clinical research trial is to confirm that there is a good control of tumor in patients with lymphoma or Hodgkin's disease treated with rituximab and conventional stem cell transplantation.
This is a Phase II, open-label, two strata, multicenter, prospective study of plerixafor-mobilized HLA-identical sibling allografts in recipients with hematological malignancies. This study will establish the safety and efficacy of subcutaneous plerixafor for this purpose.
This research is being done to determine if combining an investigational drug called Everolimus with Rituximab can reduce the risk of your cancer from returning after high dose chemotherapy.
This trial is a prospective, open-label, single-arm trial of the safety of a single FT1050-treated CB unit for hematopoietic reconstitution after a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen for hematologic malignancies. A maximum of 40 eligible adult subjects will be enrolled and treated in the trial at approximately 2-4 centers within the U.S.
New conditioning regimens are still needed to maximize efficacy and limit treatment-related deaths of allogeneic transplantation for advanced hematologic malignancies. Over the past several years, the investigators have evaluated several new conditioning regimens that incorporate fludarabine, a novel immunosuppressant that has limited toxicity and that has synergistic activity with alkylating agents. Recent data have suggested that fludarabine may be used in combination with standard doses of oral or IV busulfan, thus reducing the toxicity previously observed with cyclophosphamide/ busulfan regimens.
