Filter by:Background: - Cord blood transplants can treat cancers and other diseases in children and adults. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires cord blood to be collected and stored under certain safety standards. However, most available cord blood units were collected before the FDA set these standards. These units may not meet FDA standards, but they do meet similar standards set and followed by the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP). Cord blood units that do not meet the new FDA standards may be used for transplants only as part of a research study. Doctors want to allow people who need transplants to receive cord blood that meets NMDP standards but may not meet FDA standards. Objectives: - To allow selected cord blood units that do not meet current FDA standards to be used for transplant. Eligibility: - Individuals who need cord blood units for transplant, and who best match cord blood units that are not FDA-licensed. Design: - Participants will provide consent to receive cord blood that meets NMDP standards but may not meet FDA standards. - Participants will remain on the study for observation for up to 1 year after transplant, or until they withdraw from the study for personal or medical reasons....
The purpose of this study is to determine whether CPI-613 is effective and safe in either patients with refractory or relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who have failed therapy with a hypomethylating agent (such as decitabine [Vidaza] and azacitidine [AZA]).
Background: - People who have some kinds of cancer can benefit from donated bone marrow stem cells. These stem cells help produce healthy bone marrow and slow or stop the spread of abnormal cells. However, stem cells transplants do not always work. Also, they may have serious side effects that can cause illness or death. The Bone Marrow Stem Cell Transplant Program is studying methods to make stem cell transplant procedures safer and more effective. Objectives: - To test a new procedure that may improve the success and decrease the side effects of stem cell transplants. Eligibility: - Individuals 10 to 75 years of age who have a life-threatening illness that may require a stem cell transplant. - Healthy siblings who are able to provide stem cells for transplant. Design: - Participants will be screened with a medical history, physical exam, and blood and urine tests. - Donor procedures: - Stem cell donors will start by having apheresis to donate white blood cells. - Donors will receive filgrastim shots for 5 days to help move stem cells into the blood for collection. - Donors will have another round of apheresis to donate the stem cells for transplant. - Recipient procedures: - Before the transplant, recipients will have radiation twice a day for 3 days and chemotherapy for 7 days. - After the radiation and chemotherapy, recipients will receive the stem cells provided by the donor. - After the transplant, recipients will receive the white blood cells provided by the donor. - Recipients will be monitored closely for 4 months to study the success of the transplant. They will have more followup visits at least yearly thereafter. - Recipients will have a research apheresis prior to transplant and at 3 months.
This is a multicenter, single arm open label Phase 2b Study of oral ezatiostat (Telintra®) in Patients who are RBC tranfusion dependent, Low to INT-1 IPSS risk, non-del (5q) Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS).
Study TLK199.2107 is a multicenter, single arm, open-label Phase 2 study of oral ezatiostat (Telintra®) in patients with lenalidomide (Revlimid®) refractory or resistant, red blood cell (RBC) transfusion-dependent, Low to Intermediate-1 IPSS risk, del5q Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS).
Determine the safety and tolerability of POL6326 when used as a single mobilization agent.
Phase 1, single-center, open-label, sequential cohort dose escalation study. This is a 3 + 3 design study involving at least 3 subjects in ascending dose cohorts, with subjects participating up to 10 weeks. The overall study objectives are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of TXA127 in thrombocytopenic subjects with low or intermediate-1 risk MDS. Evaluation of the platelet response and the erythroid and granulocytic responses to TXA127 will provide preliminary efficacy data.
This research is being done to learn more about nonmyeloablative bone marrow transplantation (BMT), also known as a "mini" transplant for patients with blood cancers, using bone marrow from a relative.
Primary Outcome Measures: • To evaluate the efficacy of treatment with Azacitidine in patients with transfusion-dependent, low risk International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) 0 int-1, Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) without chromosome 5 (5q) deletion. The main objective will be based on the erythroid haematologic response according to International Working Group (IWG) 2006 criteria. Secondary Outcome Measures: - Haematologic response, bases on the following parameters: platelets, and neutrophils according to International Working Group (IWG) Criteria. - Medullary and cytogenetic response according to International Working Group (IWG) 2006 criteria. - The effect of treatment response on quality of life, through the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Anemia (FACT-an) questionnaire. - Overall survival, Event-Free Survival and the Acute Leukaemia Transformation Rate.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of eltrombopag in people who have myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with thrombocytopenia who have progressed or are resistant to decitabine or azacitidine. (These are the only 2 drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration [FDA] which can improve platelet counts). The investigators (the study doctor, study staff, and sponsor) want to find out what effects, good or bad, eltrombopag (study drug) may have on people with low platelet counts due to MDS. The investigators will also be testing how well eltrombopag may work at different doses in these diseases.
