Active clinical trials for "Hematologic Neoplasms"

Background: COVID-19 is a viral infection. It has spread rapidly across the globe. It has overwhelmed health systems. Researchers are concerned that it may undo years of progress in the reduction of cancer-specific death. They want to test a vaccine that might protect people with cancer from COVID-19. Objective: To test the safety and efficacy of a vaccine using mRNA-1273 that may protect people with cancer from COVID-19. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older who have a solid tumor or blood cancer and who may benefit from a vaccine that might prepare their immune system for fighting and preventing infection from COVID-19. Patients with solid tumors must be receiving treatment with an immunotherapy agent Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history, medicine review, and physical exam. They will have blood tests. They will have a pregnancy test if needed. Participants will get 2 doses of the mRNA-1273 vaccine if they have not been vaccinated already. It will be injected into a muscle in the arm on Days 1 and 29. They will be followed for 12 months after the second dose. Participants will have study visits at the Clinical Center on Days 1, 29, 36,57, 209, and 394. Some visits will last about 4-6 hours. Patients will be able to get up to 3 doses of mRNA-1273 as a booster on trial if they have already completed a primary series of a vaccine. Participants who have already received a booster dose of vaccine will be able to enroll to receive additional boosters. It will be injected into a muscle in the arm on Day 1. Participants will be followed for 12 months after their last booster injection. Participants who receive booster doses will have study visits at the Clinical Center on Days 1, 29, 57, 180 and 360. Participants will give blood and saliva samples for research. Participation will last about 16 months.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a repeat dose administration of ATIR101 is safe and effective when infused in patients with a hematologic malignancy following a T-cell depleted stem cell graft from a related haploidentical donor. All patients are planned to receive two ATIR101 doses of 2×10E6 viable T-cells/kg, unless the second dose is reduced or halted for safety reasons.

This is an open-label, non-randomized study to evaluate the safety of two planned infusions of BPX-501 T cells after partially mismatched, related (haploidentical) HSCT in adults with hematologic malignancies.

A new prophylactic posaconazole dosing regimen of 120mg/m² tid is evaluated pharmacologically in children 13 years and younger, suffering from a hematologic malignancy.

This protocol, UMCC 2012.047, was a pilot study initially intended for 12 subjects. After completing enrollment of the planned 12 subjects, we are extending the study to an additional 25 subjects. The trial will examine the safety and efficacy of the addition of vorinostat, the study drug, to standard medications to try to prevent or lower the risk of graft versus-host disease (GVHD) for recipients of unrelated (matched) donor, blood or marrow stem cell transplants. The transplant regimens, chosen according to current institutional policy, will depend upon the recipients underlying disease (their blood cancer or other blood disorder), previous therapy, and current health issues. GVHD prophylaxis (preventive drug intervention) will be the local institutional standard for post-transplant immunosuppression, including tacrolimus and methotrexate, plus vorinostat. Vorinostat will be given twice daily orally beginning 10 days prior to the recipient's transplant and continue for up to 100 days after transplant.

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best way to give brentuximab vedotin and to see how well it works after donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. Monoclonal antibodies, such as brentuximab vedotin, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Monoclonal antibodies may kill cancer cells that are left after donor stem cell transplant.

The purpose of this study is to determine if Bortezomib, known commercially as Velcade is safe and tolerated at different dose levels (amounts) with high dose Cyclophosphamide to be used as graft versus host disease prevention after reduced-intensity allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Although a majority of children with leukemia and most hematological malignancies (Hodgkin's and Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas) can be cured with conventional chemotherapy, a subset of patients with resistant/recurrent high-risk disease are not cured with conventional treatment regimens. Investigators hypothesize that HSCT from a partially matched donor can be safe and effective for patients with very high risk hematologic malignancies when combined with post-transplant cyclophosphamide for prevention of graft-vs-host disease (GVHD).

This is a unique dose-escalation trial that will titrate doses of umbilical cord blood (UCB) Treg and CD3+ Teff cells with the goal of infusing as many CD3+ Teff cells as possible without conferring grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). In this study, the investigators propose to add UCB Treg and UCB CD3+ Teff cells to the two TCD UCB donor units with the goal of transplanting as many CD3+ Teff cells as possible without reintroducing risk of acute GVHD. The investigators hypothesize that Treg will permit the reintroduction of CD3+ Teff cells that will provide a bridge while awaiting HSC T cell recovery long term. The co-infusion of Treg will prevent GVHD without the need for prolonged pharmacologic immunosuppression.

The purpose of this study is to determine efficacy and toxicity of recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF) as a preventive drug of oral mucositis during intensive chemotherapy with stem cell transplantation in patients with hematologic malignancies.
