Filter by:A phase II trial of a reduced intensity conditioned (RIC) allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) for idiopathic severe aplastic anemia (SAA), paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), acquired pure red cell aplasia (aPRCA), or acquired amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (aAT) utilizing population pharmacokinetic (popPK)-guided individual dosing of pre-transplant conditioning and differential dosing of low dose total body irradiation based on age, presence of myelodysplasia and/or clonal hematopoiesis.
The goal of this National Registry is to is to collect information from patients with rare kidney diseases, so that it that can be used for research. The purpose of this research is to: - Develop Clinical Guidelines for specific rare kidney diseases. These are written recommendations on how to diagnose and treat a medical condition. - Audit treatments and outcomes. An audit makes checks to see if what should be done is being done and asks if it could be done better. - Further the development of future treatments. Participants will be invited to participate on clinical trials and other studies. The registry has the capacity to feedback relevant information to patients and in conjunction with Patient Knows Best (Home - Patients Know Best), allows patients to provide information themselves, including their own reported quality of life and outcome measures.
A quarter of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are performed in a situation of major ABO mismatch exposing patients to the risk of immunological pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) after transplant. PCRA after transplant is defined as anemia with low reticulocytes count (under 10 G/L) after day 60 despite good leucocytes and platelet engraftment, full donor chimerism, associated with the persistence of recipients hemagglutinins (anti-A or anti-B antibodies). Bone marrow evaluation when performed show erythroid hypoplasia. Red blood cells transfusions are necessary every two weeks until remission leading to impaired quality of life (anemia, repeated hospitalization), iron overload, and need for iron chelation therapy. Treatments currently used are inefficient (anti CD20 monoclonal antibodies, EPO, steroids, plasma exchanges, proteasome inhibitors) or at risk of severe acute GVHD (donor lymphocytes infusion). PRCA has been demonstrated to be associated with the persistence of recipient's plasma cells. Anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies which targets plasma cells secreting hemagglutinins responsible of PCRA are a promising treatment: 6 cases reported in the literature support a rapid and sustain efficacy but a prospective randomized evaluation of its efficacy and safety in this context is necessary. The main objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of the treatment of PRCA by isatuximab after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant compared to supportive care only control group (reduction in PRCA resolution time in days)
Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) is a kind of anemia characterized by severe reticulocytopenia and obvious bone marrow erythroblastic cells decreased. Cyclosporine A and /or steroids are the first line therapy but some patients were refractory or intolerance to the treatment. The effects of the second line therapy are also not satisfactory and sometimes not available. The investigators aim to explore the efficacy and side-effect of sirolimus for newly diagnosed primary acquired PRCA.
This is an open-label, single-arm study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of bortezomib plus dexamethasone for acquired pure red cell aplasia failure or relapse after first-line treatment.
Diamond Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a rare inherited pure red cell aplasia. The two main non-stem cell transplant therapeutic options are corticosteroids and red blood cell (RBC) transfusions. About 80% of DBA patients initially respond to corticosteroids, however, half of the patients cannot continue due to side effects or loss of response. These patients are then typically dependent on RBC transfusions throughout life. Each of these treatments is fraught with many side effects and significant morbidity and mortality are potential consequences of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT). The majority of individuals with DBA have mutations in genes encoding structural proteins of the small or large ribosomal subunit leading to deficiency of the particular ribosomal protein (RP). Using the RP deficient zebrafish embryo model, high throughput drug screens have demonstrated a strong hematologic response to several calmodulin inhibitors. One of these chemicals is trifluoperazine (TFP). TFP treatment of a mouse model of DBA also increased the red blood cell count and the hemoglobin (Hb) levels in the mice. TFP is a FDA-approved typical antipsychotic agent that has been available since 1958 with a well-known safety profile. In the United States, TFP is approved for the short-term treatment of generalized non-psychotic anxiety; treatment or prevention of nausea and vomiting of various causes; and, management of psychotic disorders. This study aims to determine the safety/tolerability of TFP in adult subjects with DBA. TFP's expected dose-limiting toxicity is primarily neurologic (extrapyramidal) when used long-term at typical anti-psychotic doses (range 10-50 mg daily). Non-neurologic adverse effects in subjects with DBA have not been investigated. We will perform a dose escalation study to define the safety and tolerability of lower doses of this agent in subjects with DBA. To mitigate the potential risks of administering TFP to this new population, we will (1) start dosing at dose levels well below those prescribed for psychosis, (2) dose escalate to a maximum of 10 mg daily (the lowest dose typically prescribed for psychosis), and (3) perform weekly safety monitoring. Given the positive signal in DBA animal models and the 60-year clinical experience with higher doses of TFP, this drug warrants a trial in humans to assess tolerability in DBA.
Autoimmune cytopenia, including autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), pure red cell aplasia (PRCA), Evans syndrome (ES), usually has good responses to steroids therapies as first line, but there is a considerable percentage of patients who relapse, become refractory or dependent on steroids to maintain an acceptable level of hemoglobin or platelets. The effects of the second line therapy are also not satisfactory and sometimes not available. The investigators aim to explore the efficacy and side-effect of tacrolimus for refractory autoimmune cytopenia.

This phase II trial studies how well fludarabine phosphate, cyclophosphamide, total body irradiation, and donor stem cell transplant work in treating patients with blood cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate and cyclophosphamide, 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. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation 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. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The donated stem cells may also replace the patient?s immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells.
