Filter by:ENROL, the European Rare Blood Disorders Platform has been conceived in the core of ERN-EuroBloodNet as an umbrella for both new and already existing registries on Rare Hematological Diseases (RHDs). ENROL aims at avoiding fragmentation of data by promoting the standards for patient registries' interoperability released by the EU RD platform. ENROL's principle is to maximize public benefit from data on RHDs opened up through the platform with the only restriction needed to guarantee patient rights and confidentiality, in agreement with EU regulations for cross-border sharing of personal data. Accordingly, ENROL will map the EU-level demographics, survival rates, diagnosis methods, genetic information, main clinical manifestations, and treatments in order to obtain epidemiological figures and identify trial cohorts for basic and clinical research. To this aim, ENROL will connect and facilitate the upgrading of existing RHD registries, while promoting the building of new ones when / where lacking. Target-driven actions will be carried out in collaboration with EURORDIS for educating patients and families about the benefits of enrolment in such registries, including different cultural and linguistic strategies. The standardized collection and monitoring of disease-specific healthcare outcomes through the ENROL user-friendly platform will determine how specialized care is delivered, where are the gaps in diagnosis, care, or treatment and where best to allocate financial, technical, or human resources. Moreover, it will allow for promoting research, especially for those issues that remain unanswered or sub-optimally addressed by the scientific community; furthermore, it will allow promoting clinical trials for new drugs. ENROL will enable the generation of evidence for better healthcare for RHD patients in the EU as the ultimate goal. ENROL officially started on 1st June 2020 with a duration of 36 months. ENROL is co-funded by the Health Programme of the European Union under the call for proposals HP-PJ-2019 on Rare disease registries for the European Reference Networks. GA number 947670
Background : Vertebral fracture is the most common complication of osteoporosis. Vertebroplasty is a widespread treatment modality for osteoporotic vertebral fractures, providing consolidation, rapid pain relief and preventing secondary vertebral collapse. Performing a biopsy at the same time as the operation does not lengthen the procedure or increase the risk of complications. The question therefore arises as to whether it is cost-effective diagnostically: are non-osteoporotic vertebral lesions detected when biopsies are taken? Methods: The investigators carried out a single-centre retrospective study at Nice University Hospital. From January 2016 to March 2022, 1729 biopsies were performed during 1439 vertebroplasty procedures on 1120 patients. The pre-operative laboratory work-up included a blood count, a C-reactive protein assay and a coagulation test. The imaging work-up systematically included MRI, unless contraindicated, in which case CT alone was performed. Vertebroplasty was performed in an interventional CT suite under dual CT and fluoroscopic guidance. The systematic biopsy sample was then sent to the anatomopathology department for analysis. Findings : The samples detected cancer in 35 patients, including 5 (0.44%) for whom the pre-operative work-up had not raised any suspicion. All the incidental findings were haemopathies, including 4 myelomas and one lymphoma. Conclusion : These results highlight the good performance of MRI in distinguishing osteoporotic vertebral fractures from solid tumour metastases. However, an exhaustive pre-operative work-up does not seem to be able to formally rule out an underlying malignant lesion. The investigators therefore recommend that biopsies be taken systematically when performing vertebroplasty.
To find the recommended dose of NY-ESO-1 TCR/IL-15 NK cells that can be given to patients with relapsed or refractory MM. To learn if the dose of NY-ESO-1 TCR/IL-15 NK cells found in Part A can help to control the disease.
The study is looking at how myeloma is related to low oxygen levels (hypoxia) in the bone marrow. This is to understand the disease better. It might also guide treatment in the future. For the study, we will run tests on a portion of the samples taken during a bone marrow biopsy. A bone marrow biopsy is taken as part of the diagnosis or follow up of myeloma. The tests in our study will look closely at the make-up of immune cells in the bone marrow, highlight areas of low oxygen, and look at genetic changes in cells from low-oxygen areas. We will ask patients to take a capsule the day before their bone marrow biopsy containing pimonidazole hydrochloride, a substance which will show up areas of low oxygen on tests. Overall we want to know: 1. If myeloma cells 'live' in areas of low oxygen in the bone marrow 2. What are the immune and bone marrow cells which are neighbours of myeloma cells? 3. Are there genetic changes in low oxygen myeloma cells For the pilot study, we want to know: 4. Can we use new techniques to study questions 1-3? The techniques we want to use are pimonidazole with multiplex immunohistochemistry and single cell RNA sequencing. The information we get from the tests will help us get a better understanding of how myeloma works. Future studies may also use these results to develop new kinds of drugs for myeloma.
Isatuximab was developed on a sub-cutaneous (SC) administration format. SC administration is expected to be more convenient for the patient, with a much shorter duration of administration compared to the currently approved IV route. The SC Isatuximab RP2D fixed dose was determined at 1400 mg in a phase1b assessing SC Isatuximab in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone in RRMM patients. A similar activity and a favorable safety administration profile compared to the IV formulation, was shown in this trial, as expected (Moreau et al, ASH 2021; Quach et al, ASCO 2022). This data should be confirmed in the ongoing IRAKLIA/EFC15951 phase 3 study, that compared in the RRMM, isatuximab plus pomalidomide and dexamethasone IV versus SC. Whether isatuximab SC, fixed 1400 mg dose, will show similar efficacy and safety profile as to anti-CD38Rd+V remains to be demonstrated. The investigators have planned to study the combination of SC isatuximab plus VRd (IsVRd) in patients with NDMM NTE in a phase 2 study across IFM (Intergroupe Francophone du Myeloma) centers in France to compare indirectly this data to the data obtained from studies that have studied this association in that population with the IV isatuximab formulation.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate an exercise program for individuals preparing for Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell immunotherapy for hematological malignancies.
The purpose of this study is to learn about the impact that the services and programs provided by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society have among patients with blood cancer, such as access to care, quality of life, and financial burden.
A Phase I study to evaluate the safety of a novel, orally available, selective, and potent small molecule inhibitor of the histone lysine methyl transferase MMSET (also known as NSD2/WHSC1) to prevent the dimethylation of H3K36 in adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).
The purpose of this study is to investigate the sensitivity and accuracy of non-invasive MRD assessment using liquid biopsy (blood draw) and functional imaging (whole body MRI) in participants with new diagnosed and previously treated multiple myeloma. The long-term goal of this study is to investigate whether non-invasive methods for MRD assessment can replace bone marrow aspiration and biopsy in a substantial percentage of participants with multiple myeloma.
Fatigue is a common symptom and can be the most distressing symptom of a range of medical conditions. This Ecological Momentary Assessment study will investigate lived experiences of fatigue in detail in individuals with myeloma, long COVID, heart failure, and in healthy controls without fatigue. Participants will wear ECG patches and wrist-worn sensors that measure heart rate variability, activity levels, posture, and other parameters. They will self-rate their levels of fatigue four times daily and on-demand (when fatigue levels are noticeably good or troublesome). They will participate in an end of study interview and will have an optional feedback session with a researcher to make sense of the data they have provided.
