To evaluate the safety and tolerability of partial HLA-matched VSTs against both CMV and EBV viruses in recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells with refractory viral infections (CMV and/or EBV). Preliminary evaluation of the efficacy of partial HLA-matched VSTs against both CMV and EBV viruses in recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells with refractory viral infections (CMV and/or EBV); To monitor the duration and expansion of multi-virus VSTs cells after infusion.
This research is designed to determine if the adjuvanted recombinant glycoprotein E (gE) herpes zoster (HZ) vaccine (Shingrix) has acceptable immunogenicity and safety in people who have undergone allogeneic stem cell transplant (allo-SCT). Specifically, it will determine the effect of the interval after transplantation on the immune response and if an additional dose of vaccine is needed to improve the vaccine-induced responses.
Purpose: This prospective clinical case series aimed to evaluate the effect of suprachoroidal implantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the form of spheroids as a stem cell therapy for retinitis pigmentosa (RP) patients with relatively good visual acuity. Methods: Fifteen eyes of 15 patients with RP who received suprachoroidal implantation of MSCs in the form of spheroids were included. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), 10-2 and 30-2 visual field examination and multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) recordings were recorded at baseline, postoperative first, third- and sixth-months during follow-up.
This is a mixed methods, prospective longitudinal pilot RCT to evaluate the 1) acceptability of a newly developed mHealth app (BMT4me), 2) the feasibility of enrolling and retaining caregivers of children in the acute phase post-HSCT, and 3) the potential efficacy of an mHealth app on adherence to immunosuppressants in post-HSCT children discharged during the acute phase.
Pilot study enrolling obese post HSCT (hematopoietic stem cell transplantation) patients at the hematology/oncology clinic at the Mattel Children's Hospital, University of California, Los Angeles. Parameters include percent over the 95th percentile (%BMIp95), zBMI, fasting metabolic metrics, addictive eating habits, and motivation for change.
Today the overall survival of childhood cancers has increased to above 85%. This increase is partially caused by treatment with bone marrow transplantation. A bone marrow transplantation is an efficient treatment against high-risk leukemia, as well as other life-threatening immunological and hematological diseases. However, it is unfortunately also related to the risk of developing a long series of late effects during early adulthood, such as low muscle mass, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Conditions known from the older generations of the general population and also conditions highly related to lifestyle factors in the general population. In the group of survivors after bone marrow transplantation, the cause for these late effects is not fully understood, as the same close association to lifestyle factors as seen in the general population, is not present in this group. Multiple studies have examined the possible causes, and it have been shown that certain elements of a bone marrow transplantation, ie. total body irradiation, are associated with the risk of developing late effects. As the cause is not fully understood, it is not known whether the treatment and preventive strategies, that would be applied in the general population for these conditions, are effective in this group. Therefore, in this study the investigators aim at examining the effect of a strength training intervention on the development of the aforementioned late effects to treatment with bone marrow transplantation during childhood. The investigators will invite a group of persons, transplanted during childhood, as well as an age- and sex-matched control group to participate in the study. Both groups will go through a 16-week strength training intervention, and a thorough health examination before and after the intervention, to assess metabolic status and body composition. If the investigators find a positive effect of strength training on muscle mass and risk factors for developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes in persons, treated with bone marrow transplantation during childhood, it will support the implementation of structured training programs in the follow-up of these patients. Thereby hopefully contributing to an increased quality of life, as well as an increased life expectancy in the group of survivors after bone marrow transplantation during childhood.
The purpose of this research is to provide an educational visit addressing common emotional stressors involved in the transplant/CAR-T process, and determine if this added education improves levels of anxiety, depression, and fatigue after transplant/CART in comparison to people who do not receive the brief educational visit.
This study primarily aimed to evaluate the safety of human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived mesenchyma stem cells in interstitial cystitis.
Autologous stem cell transplantation (SCT) is the standard of care for fit multiple myeloma (MM) patients; however, the first 100 days after SCT are marked by extensive life disruptions. We have found a 56% relative increase in the use of high-risk benzodiazepine and Z-class (B/Z) drugs for anxiety and insomnia among MM patients during this period. Digital life coaching (DLC), whereby trained coaches work longitudinally with patients through phone calls and text messages to accomplish personal goals, may be able to target anxiety and insomnia in a more integrative manner. This study will investigate whether peri-SCT DLC can lower B/Z usage and improve patient-reported well-being.
