Filter by:Hypothesis: Addition of low dose TSEBT to debulk MF/SS either before or during checkpoint blockade with anti-PD-1 pembrolizumab monoclonal antibody therapy will be safe and well tolerated. Primary Objective: • To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for the combination of total skin electron beam therapy (TSEBT) and pembrolizumab regimen. Secondary Objectives: - To determine the preliminary efficacy of the combination of TSEBT with pembrolizumab. - To determine the impact on patient-reported health-related quality of life outcomes.
PROMPT: a study of photopheresis for the treatment of erythrodermic mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome For this study, the investigators invite patients suffering from erythrodermic mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS) whose skin symptoms have not responded to other types of treatment prescribed by their doctors (symptoms came back or got worse) as well as patients that never received any treatment. Patients will be treated with photopheresis every two weeks for the first three months, thereafter once monthly. One treatment cycle consists of 2 day treatment in a row. After 6 months of treatment, treatment can be given every 5 to 8 weeks. During the photopheresis procedure, the patient's blood is collected into a specialized machine (THERAKOS CELLEX) that separates the white blood cells from the other blood components. The other blood components are returned to the patient and white blood cells are then treated with the drug methoxsalen, which makes them sensitive to ultraviolet light. The treated white blood cells are exposed to ultraviolet A (UVA) irradiation inside the machine, and then returned to the patient. As photopheresis has been used worldwide for more than 30 years, each hospital has developed their own guidelines (e.g. which patients, frequency, etc). Recently, experts in the field have developed a guidance which will now be tested in this study.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide when given together with brentuximab vedotin in treating patients with T-cell lymphomas that have come back or do not respond to treatment. Monoclonal antibodies, such as brentuximab vedotin, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as lenalidomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving brentuximab vedotin and lenalidomide may work better in treating patients with T-cell lymphomas.
This phase II trial studies how well low dose total skin electron beam radiation therapy and mechlorethamine hydrochloride gel work in treating patients with mycosis fungoides. Total skin electron beam radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays directed at the entire surface of the body to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Mechlorethamine hydrochloride gel may help patients in remission of disease, reduction in disease staging, and enhanced quality of life. Giving total skin electron beam radiation therapy and mechlorethamine hydrochloride gel may work better in treating patients with mycosis fungoides.
This is a single-center, open-label, pilot study to evaluate the efficacy of 14 days of CAMB dosing in subjects with fluconazole-resistant vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC).
This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of donor lymphocyte infusion when given together with reduced intensity conditioning regimen before partially matched donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with stage IIB-IV mycosis fungoides or Sezary syndrome. Giving chemotherapy and low-dose total-body irradiation followed by high-dose cyclophosphamide before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer cells. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease). Removing the T-cells from the donor cells and giving them before transplant may stop this from happening. Additionally, giving tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil before and after transplant may also stop this from happening.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the newly developed biosensor can be used to detect and quantify fungal cells in human blood samples.
This study is being conducted by Brian Poligone, MD PhD. The purpose of this study is to determine safety, effectiveness, and tolerability of two topical therapies, imiquimod and fluocinonide, for patients with early stage Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma (CTCL).
This study will determine the safety and applicability of experimental forms of umbilical cord blood (UCB) transplantation for patients with high risk hematologic malignancies who might benefit from a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) but who do not have a standard donor option (no available HLA-matched related donor (MRD), HLA-matched unrelated donor (MUD)), or single UCB unit with adequate cell number and HLA-match).
Voriconazole, a newer triazole-derivative, has become the drug of choice for many invasive fungal infections, including invasive Aspergillosis. Recently, therapeutic drug monitoring of voriconazole has been issued because of wide variations and unpredictability of voriconazole blood concentration. The objective of this study is 1) to characterize the pharmacokinetics of voriconazole in ICU patients on voriconazole prophylaxis or treatment, and 2) to develop and evaluate the prediction and adjustment models for voriconazole plasma levels.
