Hematological Disorders Clinical Trials

Current protocols use G-CSF to mobilize hematopoietic progenitor cells from matched sibling and volunteer unrelated donors. Unfortunately, this process requires four to six days of G-CSF injection and can be associated with side effects, most notably bone pain and rarely splenic rupture. BL-8040 is given as a single SC injection, ...

IDA is highly prevalent in subjects with cancer and gastrointestinal diseases such as inflammatory bowel diseases, menstruating or pregnant women, and subjects who have undergone bariatric procedure. IDA can have a substantial medical and quality of life (QoL) burden on the subjects, and treatment of these subjects includes controlling the ...

The open-label, multicenter, multinational rollover study is intended to evaluate the safety of CC-486, while providing continued treatment with CC-486 for subjects who are receiving single agent CC-486 at the time of transition to the rollover study and tolerated the protocol prescribed regimen in Celgene-sponsored trials, and whom in the ...

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT) is the only cure for many hematologic diseases. However, about 5-27% of patients would suffer from poor graft function (PGF) and more recipients might develop delayed platelet engraftment (DPE) after allo-HSCT. These complications are associated with considerable mortality related to infections or hemorrhagic complications. Treatment ...

This protocol is designed to allow the evaluation, follow up, and standard medical care of patients (and when appropriate, their stem cell donor) with bone marrow failure states, cytopenias, metastatic solid tumors, or hematologic malignancies not currently entered on an active NHLBI Hematology Branch protocol or not being screened for ...

Patients with malignant and non-malignant hematologic diseases including severe aplastic anemia (SAA), paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), acute and chronic leukemias, Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and multiple myeloma (MM) can now be cured by allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). This curative effect has been ascribed to the use ...

The purpose of this protocol is to collect blood, bone marrow, urine, stool, buccal mucosa and/or both malignant and non-malignant tissue from patients who are either being evaluated for enrollment, are consented to NIH Clinical Center treatment protocols, or are receiving therapy for their disease through home health care providers. ...

BACKGROUND Diamond Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a heterogeneous genetic disorder characterized by pure red cell aplasia, congenital anomalies, a predisposition to pancytopenia and myelodysplasia as well as hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cancer. Anemia usually presents in infancy or early childhood and greater than 40% of patients have at least one congenital ...

The study evaluates the effects of a supervised exercise program on the physical performance, the mood and the complications of therapy in patients undergoing a high-dose chemotherapy followed by an autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.

The trial will evaluate the effects of aerobic exercise in patients undergoing chemotherapy for the treatment of a hematological neoplastic disease.
