NCT ID: NCT03050268 Recruiting - Pancreatic Cancer Clinical Trials

Familial Investigations of Childhood Cancer Predisposition

SJFAMILY
Start date: April 6, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

NOTE: This is a research study and is not meant to be a substitute for clinical genetic testing. Families may never receive results from the study or may receive results many years from the time they enroll. If you are interested in clinical testing please consider seeing a local genetic counselor or other genetics professional. If you have already had clinical genetic testing and meet eligibility criteria for this study as shown in the Eligibility Section, you may enroll regardless of the results of your clinical genetic testing. While it is well recognized that hereditary factors contribute to the development of a subset of human cancers, the cause for many cancers remains unknown. The application of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has expanded knowledge in the field of hereditary cancer predisposition. Currently, more than 100 cancer predisposing genes have been identified, and it is now estimated that approximately 10% of all cancer patients have an underlying genetic predisposition. The purpose of this protocol is to identify novel cancer predisposing genes and/or genetic variants. For this study, the investigators will establish a Data Registry linked to a Repository of biological samples. Health information, blood samples and occasionally leftover tumor samples will be collected from individuals with familial cancer. The investigators will use NGS approaches to find changes in genes that may be important in the development of familial cancer. The information gained from this study may provide new and better ways to diagnose and care for people with hereditary cancer. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: - Establish a registry of families with clustering of cancer in which clinical data are linked to a repository of cryopreserved blood cells, germline DNA, and tumor tissues from the proband and other family members. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: - Identify novel cancer predisposing genes and/or genetic variants in families with clustering of cancer for which the underlying genetic basis is unknown.

NCT ID: NCT02872662 Recruiting - MDS Clinical Trials

Individual Molecular MRD Monitoring for MDS Patients After Allo-SCT

Start date: August 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

This study aims to develop highly sensitive methods for early detection of relapse based on the patients unique mutations. Initially, a mutational screen is being performed. Primers directed against these mutations will be constructed and presence of mutations will be followed in bone marrow and blood frequently after transplantation.

NCT ID: NCT01861106 Recruiting - MDS Clinical Trials

Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant for GATA2 Mutations

Start date: July 24, 2013
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Background: - GATA2 deficiency is a disease caused by mutations in the GATA2 gene. It can cause different types of leukemia and other diseases. Researchers want to see if a stem cell transplant can be used to treat this condition. A stem cell transplant will give stem cells from a matching donor (related or unrelated) to a recipient. It will allow the donor stem cells to produce healthy bone marrow and blood cells that will attack the recipient s cancer cells. Objectives: - To see if stem cell transplants are successful at treating GATA2 mutations and related conditions. Eligibility: - Recipients who are between 8 and 70 years of age and have GATA2 deficiency. Design: - All participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood samples will be collected. Recipients will have imaging studies and other tests. - Recipients will have chemotherapy or radiation to prepare for the transplant. On the day of the transplant, they will receive the donated stem cells. - Recipients will stay in the hospital until their condition is stable after transplant. - Frequent blood tests and scans will be required for the first 6 months after the transplant, followed by less frequent visits over time.

NCT ID: NCT01423175 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Acute Myeloid Leukemia

ClAraC or FLAMSA Followed by Stem Cell Transplantation to Treat High Risk AML or Advanced MDS

ClAraC-SCT
Start date: July 2011
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

ClAraC (consisting of one dose of clofarabine and ara-C for five days) or FLAMSA (consisting of one dose of fudarabine, amsacrine and ara-C for four days) will be administered followed by reduced-intensity conditioning regimen (RIC) in the setting of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). The aim of the study is to explore the antileukemic, immunosuppressive effects and toxicity and safety of clofarabine in combination with ara-C in the setting of RIC allogeneic transplantation compared with the FLAMSA-protocol for patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or advanced myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

NCT ID: NCT00815568 Recruiting - Lymphoma Clinical Trials

Feasibility and Efficacy Study of Conditioning Regimen for Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT) With Fludarabine, Busulfan, and Total Body Irradiation (TBI)

Start date: August 2008
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the OS, RFS, and TRM after HCT with low-dose total body irradiation, fludarabine, and busulfan conditioning.
