The purpose of this study is to find the smallest amount of the 131 I-apamistamab needed for preparing patients with severe sickle cell disease (SCD) for a bone marrow transplant. This is the first time 131 I-apamistamab is being used for advanced Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) in the setting of allogeneic stem cell transplant. 131 I-apamistamab is an investigational product. This means that 131 I-apamistamab has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for medical use in patients. The study treatment that is given before the transplant is called the conditioning regimen. In this study, the investigators are adding a drug called 131 I-apamistamab instead of the conditioning regimen typically given before a stem cell transplant.
This study evaluates mucositis and other oral symptoms in patients undergoing photobiomodulation in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
The purpose of this Phase 1, first in human open-label study is to assess the safety and tolerability of TRX-103 in patients with hematological malignancies undergoing HLA-mismatched related or unrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). It is anticipated that up to 36 Subjects will be enrolled during a 18-24 month enrollment period. TRX-103 will be infused one time post HSCT.
Background: People who receive an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) require long-term care at home afterwards. Their caregivers often experience high levels of stress, which can lead to symptoms such as depression, anxiety, poor sleep, fatigue, and difficulties with concentration and memory. Objective: To explore whether a nature-based immersive virtual reality (VR) program helps reduce stress in people who care for HSCT patients. Eligibility: People aged 18 and older who are primary caregivers of HSCT patients. Design: This is a two-phase study. Participants will be enrolled for 4 weeks. They will have 2 clinic visits. Participants will have a physical exam at the beginning of the study. They will be asked to provide a saliva sample in Phase 1, and saliva and blood samples in Phase 2. Participants will be given a VR headset. This is a device that looks like a pair of goggles worn over the eyes. They will be asked to wear the headset for 20 minutes per day. They will see 360 (Infinite) high-definition videos of nature and hear nature sounds. Participants will record the time they spend using the VR headset in a daily diary. They will take surveys with questions about any stress and symptoms they feel once a week. This will take up to 5 minutes. Participants will have a short regular follow-up visit by phone one week after starting their participation. At the end of the intervention study, participants will return for another physical exam. They will give saliva and/or blood samples again. Researchers will also look at the medical records of the HSCT patients; the HSCT patients must consent to this.
The main aim of this study is to find out the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of maribavir for the treatment of CMV infection in children and teenagers after HSCT or SOT and to identify the optimal dose of maribavir using a 200 milligrams (mg) tablet formulation or powder for oral suspension. The participants will be treated with maribavir for 8 weeks. Participants need to visit their doctor during 12-week follow-up period.
Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is an effective but toxic therapy, and lung injury affects as many as 25% of children receiving HSCT. Improved transplant techniques and major improvements in survival mean that HSCT is being more widely used, and more mismatched grafts are being used. Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is a major limitation of pediatric HSCT success as BO is commonly diagnosed late in children, when lung injury is irreversible, leading to long term morbidity or even death. Currently, there are major gaps in our knowledge regarding incidence, etiology and optimal treatment of BO following HSCT, and important diagnostic limitations specific to children. Diagnosis of BO is usually based on performance of pulmonary function tests, which is usually impossible in ill children under 10. Even older children who feel unwell or un-cooperative may be unable to produce interpretable data. These deficiencies in diagnosis mean that BO is commonly diagnosed late, meaning fibrosis has occurred and lesions are irreversible. The hypothesis for this interventional trial is that early treatment with standard Flovent/montelukast and steroids plus ruxolitinib will reverse lung injury and reduce the frequency of chronic pulmonary impairment or florid BO.
Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is an effective but toxic therapy and pulmonary morbidity affects as many as 25% of children receiving transplant. Early pulmonary injury includes diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH), thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) interstitial pneumonitis (IPS) and infection, while later, bronchiolitis obliterans is a complication of chronic GVHD associated with severe morbidity and mortality. Improved diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary complications are urgently needed as survival after HSCT improves, and as HSCT is increasingly used for non-malignant disorders such as sickle cell disease. Currently, there are large and important gaps in the investigator's knowledge regarding incidence, etiology and optimal treatment of pulmonary complications. Moreover, young children unable to perform spirometry are often diagnosed late, and strategies for monitoring therapeutic response are limited. This is a prospective multi-institutional cohort study in pediatric patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT). Assembly of a large prospective uniformly screened cohort of children receiving HSCT, together with collection of biological samples, will be an effective strategy to identify mechanisms of lung injury, test novel diagnostic strategies for earlier diagnosis, and novel treatments to reduce morbidity and mortality from lung injury after transplant.
The purpose of this research study is to try to see whether an experimental drug, PUL 042 Inhalation Solution (PUL 042), is effective in reducing the severity of lung infections in patients with hematologic malignancies and recipients of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with documented viral infections due to PIV, hMPV, or RSV. PUL-042 or a placebo will be administered 3 times over a 6-day period. The total duration of the study will be approximately 30 days.
Infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). The purpose of this study is to evaluate if metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) can detect microbial signatures in people undergoing HSCT, and if microbial identification can be correlated with clinical features of infection (e.g., fever). Participants undergoing HSCT as part of other studies at the NIH Clinical Center (CC) will provide blood before the transplant and through 6 months after. Total nucleic acid will be extracted from plasma and subjected to mNGS. The primary objective of this study is to investigate if by using plasma and an mNGS approach, we can detect bacterial, fungal, protozoan, or viral DNA/RNA over time, in immunocompromised patients undergoing transplantation. Secondary objectives are to: (1) To correlate microbial identification with episodes of fever or clinical suspicion of infection; and to (2) correlate change in microbial signatures in patients with suspected immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome. The study is conducted at the NIH Clinical Center. Participants, aged 3 years and older, on other research studies at the NIH CC who are undergoing HSCT are invited to take part of this study. Expected participation is up to six months.
The purpose of this study is to determine if vimseltinib is safe, tolerable and works effectively to treat adults with active moderate to severe cGVHD. Participants will be treated with vimseltinib in 28-day treatment cycles for approximately 2 years.
