Active clinical trials for "Hematologic Diseases"

In this study, the efficacy and safety of two radotinib doses, 300 mg twice daily and 400 mg twice daily, will be compared with imatinib 400 mg once daily in newly diagnosed patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in the chronic phase (CML-CP).

This study will examine whether the combination of two anaesthetic medications, propofol and remifentanil, is suitable for short duration surgical procedures, providing a shorter recovery time and fewer side effects than either drug used alone.

The major purpose of this study is to evaluate the curative potential of white cell growth hormone (G-CSF)-stimulated bone marrow cells in allogeneic bone marrow transplants. Patients with cancers or blood diseases, who have poor potential for a cure with standard treatment, will be able to participate in the study. Donors will receive the white cell growth hormone (G-CSF) as a shot (injection) in their arm once a day for three days before they donate their bone marrow cells. Total body irradiation and/or chemotherapy will be given first to prepare the patient's body for the infusion of new bone marrow cells from the donor. Two medicines (cyclosporine and methotrexate) will be used to prevent the new bone marrow cells (graft) from attacking the patient's body (host) (graft-versus-host disease; GVHD). Certain safety checkpoints were built into the study if unwanted/unexpected events were to occur. If the outcomes appear better than could be expected, this will provide a bridge to extend this current approach for other innovative therapies.

This study will develop a national cord blood bank for siblings of patients with hemoglobinopathies and thalassemia.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of Humate-P® to prevent bleeding in patients with von Willebrand Disease who are undergoing surgery.

This phase II trial studies how well ustekinumab works in preventing acute graft-versus-host disease after unrelated donor hematopoietic cell transplant. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can attack the body's normal tissues (called graft-versus-host disease). Giving ustekinumab after the transplant may help prevent acute graft-versus-host disease by controlling the body's immune response.

GVHD prophylaxis of sirolimus and mycophenolate mofetil for patients undergoing matched related allogeneic transplant for acute and chronic leukemia, MDS, high risk NHL and HL

Determine the efficiency of a myéloablative conditioning associating Fludarabine, Thymoglobuline, and intravenous Busulfan with adapted dose, according to a pharmacokinetics realized in the first day of administration (or J-6 of the conditioning) of the busulfan, in preparation for a allogenic transplant family or not family compatible HLA.

This is a phase II trial using a non-myeloablative cyclophosphamide/ fludarabine/total body irradiation (TBI) preparative regimen followed by a related or unrelated donor stem cell infusion. The primary objective is to evaluate rates of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) grades II-IV and chronic GVHD with an updated GVHD prophylaxis of tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) with a non-myeloablative preparative regimen in persons with hematologic malignancies.

The objective of this trial is to compare both strategies (Expectative Vs Fetoscopic laser surgery) for patients with stage 1 TTTS and favorable obstetrical parameters in an international randomized controlled trial. This trial will answer an important question and will help in the management and tailoring of surgical indications in stage 1 TTTS.
