This is a clinical research study designed to evaluate whether the administration of a vaccine to patients after transplant consisting of a minor histocompatibility antigen (mHag peptide) mixed with G-CSF (a drug intended to stimulate the immune system) can stimulate increased graft versus leukemia (GVL) responses without causing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).

Toxoplasma Gondii Infection in Both Children and Adult Patients With Hematological Malignancies...

Toxoplasmosis

Toxoplasmosis is one of the most common zoonotic diseases caused by the obligate intracellular parasite, T. gondii. It affects up to one-third of the world's population Horizontal transmission is mostly caused by ingestion of tissue cysts in infected meat, or through consumption of food or drink contaminated with sporulated oocysts, while vertical transmission occurs due to primary acquired maternal infection throughout pregnancy.In immunocompetent hosts, acquired infection is asymptomatic in more than 80% of cases, or is associated with fever,cervical lymphadenopathy, or myalgia. In immunocompromised patients,toxoplasmosis is always life-threatening where toxoplasmic encephalitis is the most important presentation. Among those patients, the disease may be caused by a newly acquired infection, reactivation following cyst rupture, donation of a cyst-containing organ from a seropositive donor to a seronegative recipient, or reactivation of dormant infection in the recipient Patients with hematological malignancy (HM), including those with acute myelogenous leukemia, and those who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or treated with aggressive immunosuppressive regimens are at high risk of opportunistic infections The association between toxoplasmosis and cancers remains dual. Most cancer patients are in a state of impaired cellular and humoral immune systems either from the primary disease, or from chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy administration. Chemotherapeutic drugs work by killing both fast growing cancer cells, and healthy white blood cells causing neutropenia. So, patients receiving chemotherapy are more susceptible to Toxoplasma infections. Many studies have reported that the rate of reactivation of a latent T. gondii infection was higher in different types of cancers particularly those of the eye, brain, blood and breast. On the other side, T. gondii was also implicated as possible oncogenic pathogen with suggested role in induction and progression of malignant diseases. This was explained by many theories such as preventing apoptosis, enhancing the motility of dendritic cells and macrophages.

DxFLEX 10C Clinical Study

Hematological Malignancy

A multi-center method comparison study is designed per CLSI-EP09 A3. This study compares the qualitative immunophenotype agreement between DxFLEX and Navios EX to demonstrate the accuracy of the DxFLEX-10C system. A series of precision studies will be conducted with each focusing on different aspects of the DxFLEX-10C system.

Acute Myelogenous LeukemiaAcute Lymphocytic Leukemia7 more

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the multi-lineage hematopoietic chimerism for unrelated umbilical cord blood (UCB) grafts pooled from two to three cord blood units. Also to evaluate the toxicity, and antitumor responses of pooled unrelated UCB transplants.

Subcutaneously Administered CAMPATH in CD52 Expressing Hematologic Malignancies

Hematologic Malignancies

This phase I study will involve escalating doses of CAMPATH until the goal dose for the cohort is tolerated. The CAMPATH goal dose will be administered to the patient subcutaneously (SQ) 3 times per week for up to 12 weeks.

Hematologic Malignancies

The purposes of this study are: To examine the engraftment rate in patients receiving in vivo T-cell-depleted G-CSF stimulated bone marrow from partially mismatched related donors. To evaluate the incidence and severity of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease in patients receiving in vivo T-cell-depleted G-CSF stimulated bone marrow from partially mismatched related donors.

Switched Memory B-cells as a Marker for Humoral Immune System Recovery in Patients With Secondary...

Secondary Antibody Deficiency

Current treatment for patients with secondary antibody deficiency (SAD) is Immunoglobulin replacement therapy (IGRT). There are currently no clinical guidelines for IGRT discontinuation in patients with SAD. This study will examine the IGRT discontinuation success rate and IGRT discontinuation rate in patients.

Non-Myeloablative HLA-Matched Ex-Vivo T-cell Depleted Stem Cell Transplantation for Hematologic...

LymphomaLeukemia2 more

The purpose of this trial is to determine if patients with hematologic diseases who have a HLA 6/6 matched related donor and are not eligible for a standard myeloablative stem cell transplant will have less severe graft versus host disease (GVHD), transplant related mortality, and less graft failure when treated with a non-myeloablative T-cell depleted stem cell transplant.

Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation With Reduced Intensity Pre-transplant Conditioning...

Hematological Malignancies

This is study is for patients that have been diagnosed with high-risk hematological malignancies. The main purpose of this study is to confirm previously published results of stem cell transplantation with reduced intensity pre-transplant conditioning. Patients will be assigned to 1 of 3 regimens depending on the patient's diagnosis. Participants will be followed by the transplant team for the remainder of the patient's life. Patient's will visit MUSC daily, then visits will be reduced to frequent visits for up to 6 months. After 6 months, the visits will be reduced more depending on the patient's condition.
