Active clinical trials for "Fanconi Anemia"

The objective of this clinical trial is to develop a cell therapy for Fanconi Anemia which enables enhanced donor hematopoietic and immune reconstitution with decreased toxicity by transplanting depleted stem cells from a donor after using an experimental antibody treatment called JSP-191 as a part of conditioning. This experimental treatment will hopefully cause fewer side effects than chemotherapy (the current standard of care method). Participants will be administered the conditioning regimen, are assessed until they receive the depleted stem cell infusion, and will be followed for up to 2 years after the cell infusion.

This is a multi-center, Phase 1/2 study to determine the Optimal Biologic Dose (OBD) and to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and preliminary activity of FP 045 when administered orally in young adult/adolescent and pediatric patients with Fanconi anemia. The study will enroll a total of 6 young adult/adolescent patients and a minimum of 8 and up to 12 pediatric patients with mild-moderate bone marrow failure who have not undergone hematopoietic cell transplant. This makes the total patient number between 14-18 total. Dose escalation will occur individually for each patient, within each age group. Each patient will receive each of 3 dose levels of FP 045 (intra-patient dose escalation), beginning with Dose Level 1, followed by Dose Levels 2 and 3. Each dose level will be administered for 28 days prior to escalation to the next higher dose level for that patient.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of lower doses of busulfan and the elimination of cyclosporine will further reduce transplant-related side effects for patients with Fanconi Anemia (FA). Patients will undergo a transplant utilizing mis-matched related or matched unrelated donors following a preparative regimen of busulfan, fludarabine, anti-thymocyte globulin and cyclophosphamide.

This is a phase II trial of T cell receptor alpha/beta depletion (α/β TCD) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) transplantation in patients with Fanconi anemia (FA) to eliminate the need for routine graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) immune suppression leading to earlier immune recovery and potentially a reduction in the risk of severe infections after transplantation.

Background: Fanconi anemia is a genetic disease. Some people with it have reduced blood cell counts. This means their bone marrow no longer works properly. These people may need blood transfusions for anemia (low red blood cells) or low platelet counts or bleeding. Researchers want to see if a new drug will help people with this disease. Objective: To find out if a new drug, eltrombopag, is effective in people with Fanconi anemia. To know how long the drug needs to be given to improve blood counts. Eligibility: People at least 2 years old with Fanconi anemia with reduced blood cell counts. Design: Participants will be screened with blood and urine tests. They will repeat this before starting to take the study drug. Participants will take eltrombopag pills by mouth once a day for 24 weeks. They will be monitored closely for side effects. Participants will have blood tests every 2 weeks while on eltrombopag. Participants will visit NIH 3 months and 6 months after starting eltrombopag. At these visits, participants will: Answer questions about their medical history, how they are feeling, and their quality of life Have a physical exam Have blood and urine tests Have a bone marrow sample taken by needle from the hip. The area will be numbed. If participants blood cell counts improve, they might join the extended access part of the study. They will continue taking eltrombopag for 3 years and sign a different consent. After 24 weeks of treatment, if there is no improvement in blood cell counts, participants will stop taking eltrombopag. They will return for an optional follow-up visit that repeats the study visits. ...

This phase II trial studies how well olaparib works in treating patients with biliary tract cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) and with aberrant DNA repair gene mutations. Olaparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Fanconi anemia (FA) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by progressive bone marrow failure, variable congenital abnormalities and a predisposition to malignancy, particularly acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Improved transplant outcomes are modifying the natural history of Fanconi Anemia. Improved transplant survival, no radiation exposure, and almost no GVHD increases the importance of addressing later SCC even further. The investigators hypothesize that quercetin will prevent or delay the development of SCC and associated complications, there by ameliorating or delaying the need for potentially lethal treatment with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy for the same.

This is a minimal risk intervention study where healthy volunteers and individuals with Fanconi anemia will consume a single dose of alcohol and provide primarily non-invasive biological samples at various time points. Biospecimens to be collected include saliva, oral cells collected via mouthwash and cheek brush, and urine. The collection of two blood samples (5 mL each) will be optional and banked for future use.

This is an open-label Phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of a hematopoietic cell-based gene therapy for pediatric patients with Fanconi Anemia, subtype A (FA-A). Hematopoietic stem cells from mobilized peripheral blood of patients with FA-A will be transduced ex vivo (outside the body) with a lentiviral vector carrying the FANCA gene. After transduction, the corrected stem cells will be infused intravenously back to the patient with the goal of preventing bone marrow failure.

This clinical trial will access the toxicity and efficacy of infusion of gene modified cells for patients with Fanconi anemia (FA). Infusion of autologous patient blood stem cells that have been corrected in the laboratory by introduction of the normal gene may improve blood counts in patients with FA.
