Background: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a disease caused by disrupted immune function. People with HLH are prone to fevers and illnesses, which can be fatal. Some people develop a genetic form of this disease (pHLH), but researchers do not understand why some other people develop a nongenetic form (sHLH). They also do not have good ways to diagnose and treat sHLH. Objective: To learn about sHLH and why some people get it and others do not. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 years and older with sHLH. Design: Participants will be admitted to the study based on a review of their medical records. Those who join will have at least 3 clinical evaluations over 9 to 12 months. These may occur during an inpatient hospitalization if they require medical care or in the outpatient clinic. Participants will also have a physical exam at each visit. Up to half a cup of blood will be drawn at each visit. Participants may also have their blood drawn by their own doctors, who will send the samples to the researchers. Researchers may also contact these participants by telephone or video calls. The blood will be used for clinical tests as well as research. No new treatments will be administered as part of this study; however, standard medications and treatments may be recommended. Participants may opt to continue their visits once a year for 3 more years. Participants may also opt for an extra clinial evaluation 1 week after starting a new treatment....
This is a pilot, open-label study to assess the safety and feasibility of using investigational drug(s) as rescue therapies for CAR T cell related CRS and HLH-like syndrome (CRHLS).
The purpose of this observational study is to collect data on the natural history of disease of patients with Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) including diagnosis, treatments, responses, and outcomes.
A single arm clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of the second generation TEVG as vascular conduits for extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection.
The purpose of this initiative is to improve care and outcomes for infants with HLHS by expanding the NPC-QIC national registry to gather clinical care process, outcome, and developmental data on infants with HLHS between diagnosis and 12 months of age, by improving the use of standards into everyday practice across pediatric cardiology centers, and by engaging parents as partners in the process.
The major morbidities of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) using donors that are not human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched siblings are graft vs host disease (GVHD) and life- threatening infections. T cell receptor alpha beta (TCRαβ) T lymphocyte depletion and CD19+ B lymphocyte depletion of alternative donor hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) grafts is effective in preventing GVHD, but immune reconstitution may be delayed, increasing the risk of infections. The central hypothesis of this study is that an addback of CD45RO memory T lymphocytes, derived from a fraction of the original donor peripheral stem cell product depleted of CD45RA naïve T lymphocytes, will accelerate immune reconstitution and help decrease the risk of infections in TCRab/CD19 depleted PSCT.
This is a single-arm study to investigate 1-year treatment related mortality (TRM) in patients with life threatening non-malignant and malignant hematologic disorders who do not have a matched related donor for allogeneic transplantation.
This protocol is a research study involving human subjects diagnosed with Congenital Heart Defects/Disease (CHD). The Co-Op @ HeartWorks is a cooperative between the research platform at HeartWorks and members of the CHD community. Individuals choosing to participate will be referred to as 'members' of the co-op. This study aims to create a database of members medical journey data to inform future clinical innovation and design of clinical trials which address the needs of the members. The knowledge generated from this study will help advance the care of CHD patients through the deliberate action of The Co-Op @ HeartWorks members. Unlike a traditional disease registry, the members of The Co-Op @ HeartWorks will actively inform and contribute to the future studies affecting their health.
This is a data collection study that will examine the general diagnostic and treatment data associated with the reduced-intensity chemotherapy-based regimen paired with simple alemtuzumab dosing strata designed to prevented graft failure and to aid in immune reconstitution following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of using a reduced-intensity condition (RIC) regimen with umbilical cord blood transplant (UCBT), double cord UCBT, matched unrelated donor (MUD) bone marrow transplant (BMT) or peripheral blood stem cell transplant (PBSCT) in patients with non-malignant disorders that are amenable to treatment with hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). After transplant, subjects will be followed for late effects and for ongoing graft success.
