Active clinical trials for "Hematologic Diseases"

In patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant; Side effects associated with high-dose chemotherapy and radiotherapy, night treatment and care, social isolation cause emotional problems and deterioration in sleep quality in this patient population. In a meta-analysis conducted in 2014, it was reported that music can be effective in improving sleep quality. In this study, an experimental design with pre-test - post-test control group will be used to evaluate the effect of music therapy on sleep quality given to patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. It will be held between December 2020 and May 2021 at the Bone Marrow Transplantation Unit of Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Cerrahpaşa Medical Faculty Hospital. The population of the study will be the patients hospitalized in the unit within the specified date range and the sample number was determined as 30.

This study will evaluate the use of the AMICUS device in patients where Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) is prescribed by their physicians.

The purpose of this study is to study the efficacy of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) on anaemic and cytopenic haematological disorders including myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), aplastic anaemia (AA), myelofibrosis (MF) and thalassemia intermedia who do not have or did not respond to available treatment options.

Richness and diversity of gut microbiota are increasingly found to be associated with cancer outcomes. Moreover, an adequately responsive immune system seems to rely on the existence of a functioning gut ecosystem that includes the microbiota and its natural environment. Cancer by itself, but also cancer treatments - in particular chemotherapy - induce gut dysbiosis, impair the constant reparation mechanisms of the gut epithelium, disrupt immune homeostasis, and stunt immune responsiveness. The objective of MaaT033 is to (1) prevent the decay of the gut ecosystem (dysbiosis) to preserve immune homeostasis, (2) restore and optimize the gut ecosystem to full functionality including its role in repairing the gut epithelium and healthy gut barrier, and (3) maintain a restored gut ecosystem and fully functional immune homeostasis. Restoring the full gut ecosystem and its associated microbiota could become an important therapeutic option to improve clinical outcomes and control adverse events of conventional approaches, including immunotherapy in cancer patients. As a first step, MaaT033 capsules containing lyophilized, pooled, full-ecosystem microbiota in its natural environment are to be tested for their safety and tolerability in hematological malignant patients, who are exposed to intensive rounds of chemotherapy and antibiotics.

The purpose of the study is to determine whether the use of mouthwashes Caphosol ™ in addition to standard oral care (strategy A) is cost-effective in the prevention and treatment of severe mucositis in adult patients with auto or allograft packaging without ICT versus mouthwashes standard bicarbonates with an antiseptic (strategy B).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the utility of treating patients experiencing poor graft function after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with ex-vivo-expanded BM-drived mesenchymal stem cells from third-party donors. Our first objective was to evaluate the effect of such treatment on poor graft function, and second object was to investigate the safety of such treatment.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with or without granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) mobilized peripheral stem cells (PBSC) in treating patients experiencing poor graft function or delayed platelet engraftment after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ex vivo generated megakaryocytic progenitor cells (MPs) in prophylaxis and treatment of thrombocytopenia caused by chemotherapy in patients with acute leukemia (AL).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the utility of treating patients experiencing graft failure after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with ex-vivo-expanded BM-drived mesenchymal stem cells from third-party donors or mesenchymal stem cells combined with cord blood. The first objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of such treatment on graft failure, and second object was to investigate the safety of such treatment.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in the treatment of refractory cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).
