Filter by:This is a Phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and antineoplastic activity of avapritinib (also known as BLU-285), administered orally (PO), in adult patients with advanced systemic mastocytosis and other relapsed or refractory myeloid malignancies. The study consists of 2 parts:, dose-escalation (Part 1) and expansion (Part 2).
The investigators wish to evaluate the association between tryptase values as well as c-Kit mutation and adverse effects in the course of immunotherapy. The investigators also intend to assess the effect of immunotherapy on tryptase levels.
This is a randomized, placebo- and active-controlled, 2-period crossover, 2 cohort study in adult patients with indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM). The purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy and safety profile of PA101 delivered via eFlow high efficiency nebulizer in patients with ISM who are symptomatic despite using standard treatments.
The hypothesis of the study is that Bone Marrow Tryptase (MT) level is a diagnostic marker of Systemic Mastocytosis (SM). Determination of the bone marrow tryptase in Bone Marrow Aspirate (BMA) could be a new diagnostic criteria for systemic mastocytosis with sensitivity close to 100% and a low false negative rate. This new test could be useful to improve the ability to diagnose accurately systemic mastocytosis (in particular the indolent forms). Because of its limited invasiveness compared to bone marrow biopsy, it could also be considered as a test performed before bone marrow biopsy. Only patients with high bone marrow tryptase would then undergo bone marrow biopsy. In the future and if validated by this study, bone marrow tryptase could be a useful marker of mast cell load and help to monitor the efficacy of treatment in systemic mastocytosis.
The purpose of this study is to explore the key symptoms of individuals with systemic mastocytosis. Interviews of enrolled individuals will be conducted to learn about the disease symptoms and condition. The interview will last approximately 60 minutes and will be conducted by a trained interviewer, be audio-recorded (with patient consent), and all information provided by the patient will be treated confidentially and made anonymous so that it is non-identifiable. The interview may be conducted face-to-face, over the phone, or virtually via Skype, a free video conferencing program, depending upon the patient's geographic location. Patients will be compensated for their participating time. This is not a medication-related study, and no medication will be distributed or tested during this study. Participation in this study will not affect any treatment or assistance that a patient currently receives or may receive in the future.
This pilot clinical trial studies brentuximab vedotin in treating patients with advanced systemic mastocytosis or mast cell leukemia. Monoclonal antibodies, such as brentuximab vedotin, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them
Study title: An exploratory, randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled crossover study to assess the efficacy of 20 mg Rupatadine on the treatment of mastocytosis symptoms.

Maurer, Allergie-Centrum-Charité, Department of Dermatology and Allergy, Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Charitéplatz 1, D-10117 Berlin Biometry and biostatistical analyses Division of Biostatistics and Clinical Epidemiology, Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Charitéplatz 1, D-10117 Berlin Monitoring Coordination Centre for Clinical Studies (KKS), Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Charitéplatz 1, D-10117 Berlin Clinical phase Phase II Primary objective: Reduction of wheal and flare type skin reaction after standardised provocation testing assessed by volumetric and thermographic measurements. Secondary objectives: Improvement of additional related symptoms (e.g. pruritus) and subjective affliction as assessed by symptom score, DLQI, Itchy-QoL and VAS. Study design: An exploratory, randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled crossover study Type and number of patients: Male and female patients (n = 30) with cutaneous mastocytosis and indolent systemic mastocytosis with skin involvement Main criteria for inclusion: Mastocytosis patients aged 18-65 years, signed written consent, no systemic corticosteroid or other immunosuppressive therapy, no permanent severe diseases Test product, dose and mode of administration 20 mg Rupatadine or placebo before provocation testing, oral administration (tablets) Duration of treatment: 28 days (testing will be done at the day of last treatment) Assessment of efficacy: 1. Assessment of wheal and flare development by planimetric analyses of digital photographic, volumetric, and thermographic imaging (time lapse) before and after treatment with study medication, 2. Additional assessment of symptoms, 3. Assessment of life quality Main criteria of evaluation: Efficacy
The purpose of this research study is to compare the survival rates of patients with better risk disease undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) to the survival rates reported in the medical literature of similar patients undergoing reduced intensity HSCT from matched related donors.
In this study, the investigators will determine the utility of Tamoxifen, a non-cytotoxic agent, to improve quality of life, biochemical parameters, and bone marrow involvement in systemic mastocytosis patients having 1) up to 40% bone marrow infiltration by mast cells and/or 2) mediator-release symptoms which are not controlled by tolerated doses of standard "non-cytotoxic" medications regardless of the percentage bone marrow involvement by mastocytosis. The dose of Tamoxifen will be 40 mg/day and the duration of treatment will be for one year. Patients currently taking interferon alfa, imatinib mesylate, or cladribine will be excluded until these medications have been stopped.
Patients with mastocytosis often suffer from associated symptoms such as nausea, vertigo, fatigue, urticaria, abdominal cramps, diarrhea or hypotension due to release of mediators by mast cells. These patients have also an increased frequency of anaphylactic/anaphylactoid reactions due to allergens such as hymenoptera or nonspecific stimuli such as contrast media, local anesthetics or analgesics. In addition, there is increased osteoporosis in mastocytosis patients due to the activity of mast cell mediators on osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Symptoms of mastocytosis respond poorly to treatment with antihistamines or other antiallergic drugs. There is currently no specific treatment for this disease with the exception of rare cases. There are, however, some case reports suggesting that omalizumab might decrease symptoms including hypotensive events. The aim of the study is to investigate whether patients suffering from mastocytosis benefit from a 6 month course of omalizumab with regard to symptoms and quality of life and whether the applied in vitro and in vivo monitoring tools represent useful surrogate markers for the efficacy of omalizumab in patients with mastocytosis. - Trial with medicinal product
