Clinical Trials

Hematopoietic cell transplants (HCT) are one treatment option for people with leukemia or lymphoma. Family members, unrelated donors or banked umbilical cordblood units with similar tissue type can be used for HCT. This study will compare the effectiveness of two new types of bone marrow transplants in people with leukemia or lymphoma: one that uses bone marrow donated from family members with only partially matched bone marrow; and, one that uses two partially matched cord blood units.

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of Iomab-B, in conjunction with a Reduced Intensity Conditioning (RIC) regimen and protocol-specified allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT), versus Conventional Care.

This study evaluates the use of carfilzomib, lenalidomide, daratumumab, and dexamethasone in subjects with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). Subjects will receive treatment in 3 phases - induction (6 cycles), consolidation (6 cycles), and maintenance (12 cycles). Each cycle is 28 days.

The purpose of this study is to compare standard-dose combination chemotherapy to high-dose combination chemotherapy and stem cell transplant in treating patients with germ cell tumors that have returned after a period of improvement or did not respond to treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, ifosfamide, cisplatin, carboplatin, and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant stops the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as filgrastim or pegfilgrastim, and certain chemotherapy drugs, helps stem cells move from the bone marrow to the blood so they can be collected and stored. Chemotherapy is then given to prepare the bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy. It is not yet known whether high-dose combination chemotherapy and stem cell transplant are more effective than standard-dose combination chemotherapy in treating patients with resistant or relapsed germ cell tumors.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of vedolizumab when added to background aGvHD prophylaxis regimen compared to placebo and background aGvHD prophylaxis regimen on intestinal aGvHD-free survival by Day +180 in participants who receive allo-HSCT as treatment for a hematologic malignancy or myeloproliferative disorder.

The proposed research will use a double-blind randomized controlled design to pilot test a model for how stories shared by a panel of HCT survivors impact the psychosocial well-being of the digital stories (DS) intervention condition of 55 patients who recently underwent HCT and their respective caregivers compared with 55 people in an information control (IC) condition and their caregivers (total 220 participants; N=110 per condition). Participants, recruited from the Mayo Clinic Arizona Cancer Center, will be randomly assigned to one of two conditions: the DS intervention or the IC video condition. Participants will questionnaires at baseline (T1), after the 4-week intervention (T2), and 3 months (100 days) later (T3).

This randomized phase III trial studies ibrutinib to see how well it works compared to placebo when given before and after stem cell transplant in treating patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Before transplant, stem cells are taken from patients and stored. Patients then receive high doses of chemotherapy to kill cancer cells and make room for healthy cells. After treatment, the stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy. Ibrutinib is a drug that may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking a protein that is needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether adding ibrutinib to chemotherapy before and after stem cell transplant may help the transplant work better in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

The purpose of this study is to quantitatively evaluate accelerated resolution therapy (ART) for treatment of cancer distress and psychological trauma.

The purpose of this study is to provide ruxolitinib through an expanded access program for the treatment of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in United States to patients who are ineligible or unable to participate in any actively enrolling Incyte-sponsored clinical studies for ruxolitinib in the treatment of GVHD.

The purpose of this study is to test whether patients with low risk Great-vs-Host Disease (GVHD) can be successfully treated without steroids. Patients who participate with this study will be treated with itacitinib instead of steroids. Itacitinib is an experimental drug with an excellent safety record and appears to have activity as a GVHD treatment. A new blood test can identify patients whose GVHD is most likely to respond to well to treatment (low risk GVHD).
