Active clinical trials for "Histiocytosis, Sinus"

Rosai-Dorfman Disease (RDD) is a rare, heterogeneous histiocytic disorder. Because of the rarity of RDD and a lack of prospective randomized trials, the treatment strategy for RDD is mostly based on retrospective study. Steroid was suggested as frontline treatment as RDD with only lymph nodes involvement. Studies showed thalidomide or lenalidomide showed some effect in recurrent/refractory skin RDD. The investigators want to analyze the efficacy and toxicity of lenalidomide combined with dexamethasone regimens in the treatment of RDD among adult patients at our hospital.

This is a research study of a drug called cobimetinib in children and adults diagnosed with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), and other histiocytic disorders that has returned or does not respond to treatment. Cobimetinib blocks activation of a protein called Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK) that is part of incorrect growth signals in histiocytosis cells. Four different groups of patients will be enrolled.

This is a research study among patients with Rosai-Dorfman disease.

The purpose of this study is to determine the uptake of the imaging agent [68Ga]-pentixafor with PET/CT scans in people with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM), and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), or you have histiocytic neoplasms (Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) and/or Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD).

The purpose of the study is to describe the burden of chronic health conditions, psychological dysfunction, chronic pain, healthcare utilization, worse health-related quality of life, overall mortality, and cause-specific mortality among individuals with histiocytic disorders

The rare histiocytic disorders (RHDs) are characterized by the infiltration of one or more organs by non-LCH histiocytes. They can range from localized disease that resolves spontaneously, to progressive disseminated forms that can be sometimes life-threatening. Since they are extremely rare, there is limited understanding of their causes and best treatment options. Physicians, patients and parents of children with RHDs frequently consult members of the Histiocyte Society regarding the best management of these disorders. Very often, no specific recommendation can be made due to the lack of prospective outcome data, or even large retrospective case series. The creation of an international rare histiocytic disorders registry (IRHDR) could facilitate a uniform diagnosis of the RHDs, as well as the collection and analysis of the clinical, epidemiological, treatment and survival data of patients with RHD. The registry may also lead to future therapeutic recommendations, provide a framework for future clinical trials and create excellent research opportunities.
