Filter by:Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a complex condition that may be related to many clinical conditions. It is a serious disorder with a high morbidity and mortality rates. PH is classified into five groups according to clinical characteristics, pathological findings, hemodynamic characteristics and treatment response (Galie N, et al., 2016). These five groups include pulmonary arterial hypertension, PH due to left sided heart disease, PH due to lung disease and/or hypoxia, chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, or other pulmonary arterial obstruction and PH with unclear and/or multifactorial mechanisms (Simonneau G, et al., 2013). PH is a major complication of several hematologic disorders including myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). MPNs are a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of at least one myeloid series due to an abnormal hematopoietic cell clone. There are different types of MPNs including polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), primary myelofibrosis (PMF) & chronic myeloid leukemia ( CML). Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are included in group 5 PH (Arber DA, et al., 2016). This study will analyze the clinical and laboratory data of MPNs patients and correlate them with development of PH in these patients aiming to identify parameters that can predict PH in MPNs patients and thus, identifying MPNs patients at highest risk for PH who require close monitoring & screening for PH hoping that early detection and management of PH in MPNs patients can improve morbidity, prognosis and survival in those patients
Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), including polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and primary myelofibrosis, may lead to gastroesophageal varices. The quality of life, morbidity, and mortality of MPN patients mainly depend on disease-related symptoms, thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications. Previous studies have shown that JAK2 V617F has a prominent role in vascular risk and MPN-associated gastroesophageal varices. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of anticoagulation in patients with JAK2 mutation and gastroesophageal varices.

The quality of life, morbidity, and mortality of MPN patients mainly depend on disease-related symptoms, thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications. Previous studies have shown that JAK2 V617F has a prominent role in vascular risk and MPN-associated gastroesophageal varices. Portal vein thrombosis and portal cavernoma frequently occur in the MPN population and the management of gastroesophageal varices in these patients are sometimes technically difficult. The aim of this study is to investigate the the characteristics of patients with gastroesophageal varices and portal caver cavernoma with or without JAK2 mutation.
Because the anti-leukemic activity of busulfan, this dug is largely used in graft conditioning but in elderly and/or cormobid patienth an excess of toxicity is observed. This study focus on the possibility of significanty reducing this toxicity by customizing the doses of busulfan to individual PK parameters.
This study will ultimately aim at developing a GIMEMA platform for collecting HRQoL and symptom burden information on Italian patients with Philadelphia chromosome negative MPN. The main objective of the protocol is to improve our understanding of the impact of the disease and various treatments on patients-wellbeing, symptom burden and daily functioning.
Evaluate diagnostic and prognostic value of CD26 positive stem cell Stem Cells in classic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). To study CD26 expression on different phases of CML (chronic phase, accelerated phase, blastic phase). To investigate whether CD26 positive stem cell are expressed only in Philadelphia chromosome positive MPN (CML) and/or in Philadelphia chromosome negative MPN (PV, ET, PMF).
The purpose of this study is to reduce the risk of cancer relapse by giving a donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) to boost the immune system early after a stem cell transplant so that leukemia cells that escaped chemotherapy can be detected and killed. This DLI will contain mostly lymphocytes that have graft versus tumor effect with low risk of graft versus host disease. Because the process of giving a DLI in the first four weeks after a transplant has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), this study in investigational (experimental).
The MAC-HAPLO-MUD trial is a randomized prospective phase III trial comparing HLA 10/10 matched unrelated donor and haploidentical allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation after myeloablative conditioning regimen in patients, age 15 years or older, with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) or Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) or Myeloproliferative Syndrome (SMP) or Myelodysplastic Syndromes (SMD) and requiring allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Primary endpoint is the 1-year progression free survival without acute grade II-IV GvHD and without moderate and severe chronic GvHD.
Myeloproliferative neoplasms are heterogeneous group of clonal hematopoietic stem cell neoplasms with excessive proliferation of one or more of the erythroid, megakaryocytic, or myeloid lineages and relatively normal maturation resulting in increased numbers of red cells, platelets, and/or granulocytes in the peripheral blood. Constitutive tyrosine kinase activation appears to be a common pathogenetic mechanism.
