Lymphoproliferative disorders Clinical Trials

Blood and lymph node cancers can begin in either the lymphatic tissues (as in the case of lymphoma) or in the bone marrow (as with leukemia and myeloma), and they all are involved with the uncontrolled growth of white blood cells. There are many subtypes of these cancers, e.g., chronic ...

STUDY OBJECTIVES Primary Objective (Phase Ib portion of Study) To establish a safe dose (ie, number cells/m2) of ATLCAR.CD30 to infuse after lymphodepletion with bendamustine in adult patients with CD30+ refractory/relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). To establish a safe dose (ie, number cells/m2) of ATLCAR.CD30 to infuse ...

Patients who participate will be asked to complete detailed family and medical history questionnaires initially, with a follow-up questionnaire every year. Patients will be asked to supply a blood sample and possibly a mouthwash sample, both of which can be done by mail. Patients will be asked to consent to ...

Subjects (or their syngeneic donor) will give blood for investigators to make LMP/BARF1/EBNA-1 (GRALE) CTLs in the lab. These cells will be grown and frozen for the subject. Patients will be started on the lowest dose (1 of 3 different levels) of GRALE T cells. Once that dose schedule proves ...

The investigators will draw blood from the subject to make EBV-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (EBVSTs) in the lab. Investigators will make the cells by first growing a special type of cells called dendritic cells (DCs) or monocytes to stimulate the T cells. Then they will add specially produced mixtures of proteins ...

This is a clinical trial, which means its purpose is to study an intervention or treatment. In this study all patients with EPP or XLP will be given a standard dose of iron pills and monitored for one year. There is currently no effective Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved ...

All patients will be recruited approximately 1 month before transplantation (before pre-transplant conditioning chemotherapy and pre-surgery evaluation) and followed-up to 1 year post-transplantation. Thus, each subject will be followed-up for a 13-month period. At entry, a questionnaire will document socio-demographic data and pre-transplant clinical indicators such as age, gender, primary ...

OBJECTIVES Primary Evaluate the use of 3'-deoxy-3'-[18F] fluorothymidine (FLT) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to measure tumor proliferation and the DNA synthetic pathway (thymidine kinase levels) in patients with cancer. Secondary Determine the efficacy of FLT PET imaging in detecting lesions and estimating response to treatment. OUTLINE: Patients undergo up ...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare the overall survival (OS) rate at 2 years post treatment using the Jefferson 2 step reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) approach in patients with haploidentical family donors with hematological malignancies in morphological or radiographic remission or with chemosensitive, indolent diseases to historical OS rates in similar ...

This study is performed in order to investigate the molecular mechanisms of action of photo(chemo)therapy in skin diseases, including psoriasis, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, other lymphoproliferative disorders of the skin, eczema, lichen planus, prurigo/pruritus, polymorphic light eruption, mastocytosis, graft-versus-host disease, vitiligo and other photo(chemo)therapy-responsive diseases. Twenty patients will be enrolled per ...
