797 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of a multi-drug chemotherapy regimen in adult patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). We will use a regimen that is often used in pediatric patients and we will add drugs called PEG-asparaginase and E. coli asparaginase. PEG-asparaginase has been given as an injection in the past and has been used in treatment with both children and adults with ALL. Information from those other research studies suggests that intravenous PEG-asparaginase has been administered safely in both children and adults. We hope to gain more information about the participants disease and how it responds to standard chemotherapy drugs used to treat ALL\>
The patients are being asked to take part in this clinical trial because they received cancer treatment as a child at St. Jude. The study comprehensively examines sleep among three distinct diagnostic groups of survivors in the SJLIFE cohort: ALL, CNS tumors, and non-CNS solid tumors. Primary Objective The primary aim of this protocol is to estimate the prevalence of various sleep disorders among long-term survivors of childhood ALL, CNS tumors, and non- CNS solid tumors. Exploratory Objective The exploratory objective of the study is to explore associations between the prevalence of sleep disorders and clinical outcomes collected in SJLIFE.
The aim of this research is to collect dietary intake, physical activity, mood and stress data during and after the Illinois shelter-in-place and social distancing orders for the COVID-19 pandemic. The study's intent is to capture data during this unprecedented time to understand the non-infection consequences of social distancing and shelter-in-place, including duration of affect after orders are lifted.
Single center Phase 1 dose escalation trial of the combination of standard-of-care blinatumomab plus Haplo-Mismatched Cellular Therapy (HMCT). HMCT refers to the infusion of donor peripheral blood mononuclear cells collected via pheresis from a haploidentical family member - the procedure is analogous to giving a donor lymphocyte infusion outside of the setting of an allogeneic stem cell transplant; also known as 'microtransplantation'. The HMCT is an unselected mix of lymphocytes and leukocytes, but the product dose escalation will be done based on the T cell content. Ten recipients are planned. Each subject will be administered one infusion of HMCT during the first cycle of blinatumomab and two infusions during cycle two of blinatumomab; the CD3+ cell dose of the HMCT infusion is governed by dose escalation / de-escalation following a Bayesian method.
The purpose of this study is to estimate the potential benefit of early and continued palliative care (PC) consultation on end of life issues.
This study is a multi-center study to evaluate the safety of KUR-502 in subjects with refractory/relapsed B-cell NHL or leukemia (ALL or CLL).

PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of captopril to lessen the side effects in patients who are undergoing bone marrow or stem cell transplantation following chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
This is a prospective, multicenter, observational study of adult patients with a diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), multiple myeloma (MM), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), or non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). This study will enroll up to 528 patients in up to 50 sites in the United States and collect data with regard to use of the clonoSEQ MRD assay in the management of lymphoid malignancies.
In this protocol, the investigators hypothesize that modifying the process of producing CAR+ T-cells can help to improve responses and reduce toxicities. Building on previous in vitro studies that have shown successful production of CAR+ T-cells using a new production approach, the investigators are now studying the ability to produce these CAR+ T-cells and determine how well they work in the clinical setting.
This is a Phase I/II study of blinatumomab in combination with pembrolizumab in adult patients with relapsed or refractory B-lineage ALL (B-ALL). The primary objective of this study is to determine if the addition of pembrolizumab to blinatumomab improves the Complete Response Rate (CR) and Complete Remission with Partial Hematologic Recovery (CRh) relative to blinatumomab alone in adult subjects with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia with high bone marrow lymphoblast percentage (\>50% lymphoblasts).
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.
This is a prospective, descriptive study designed to assess the feasibility of administering CAR T therapy among patients with moderate to severe renal impairment using dose adjusted lymphodepleting chemotherapy.
This is an open label Phase I-II study to determine the safe doses of bortezomib, sitagliptin, and PTCy (Phase I) with expansion into a phase II trial to determine efficacy in improving survival.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test BSB-1001 which is a new type of cellular therapy to treat blood cancers (AML, ALL and MDS). It will evaluate the safety of BSB-1001 and also determine whether it works to prevent relapse of your cancer.
This phase III trial compares the effect of usual treatment of chemotherapy and steroids and a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) to the same treatment plus blinatumomab. Blinatumomab is a Bi-specific T-Cell Engager ('BiTE') that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. The information gained from this study may help researchers determine if combination therapy with steroids, TKIs, and blinatumomab work better than the standard of care.
The purpose of this research is to improve our understanding of the effects that taking cholesterol reducing pills have on dietary behavior as well as other health related behaviors
This research is being done to investigate the safety and effectiveness of Darzalex Faspro (daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj) (a monoclonal antibody that targets plasma cells that make antibodies) and whether it can lower donor specific antibodies (DSA) levels to low enough levels to permit patients to proceed with allogeneic peripheral blood transplant (alloBMT). Those being asked to participate have high DSA levels that puts those being asked to participate at high risk of rejecting the available donor's blood stem cells and making those being asked to participate ineligible to receive a stem cell transplant.
The purpose of this phase 2/3 study is to confirm the recommended doses and to evaluate the safety and pharmacodynamics of Calaspargase pegol for the treatment of adult patients with Philadelphia-negative Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
This research study is evaluating a combination of drugs considered standard treatment for children and young adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), in combination with a new drug called MLN 9708. Additionally, the study is also evaluating if bone marrow or stem cell transplantation, which will be given to some participants, helps to prevent ALL from returning.
The aim of this study is to demonstrate that clazosentan, administered as a continuous intravenous infusion at 5 mg/h until Day 14 post aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), reduces the incidence of cerebral vasospasm -related morbidity and all-cause mortality within 6 weeks post-aSAH treated by surgical clipping. The primary endpoint of the study is the occurrence of cerebral vasospasm-related morbidity, and mortality of all-causes within 6 weeks post-aSAH, defined by at least one of the following: 1. Death (all causes). 2. New cerebral infarct(s) due to cerebral vasospasm as either the primary or relevant contributing cause, or not adjudicated to be entirely due to causes other than vasospasm. 3. Delayed ischemic neurological deficit (DIND) due to cerebral vasospasm as either the primary or relevant contributing cause, or not adjudicated to be entirely due to causes other than vasospasm. 4. Neurological signs or symptoms (depending on state of consciousness), in the presence of confirmed cerebral vasospasm on angiography (DSA or CTA), leading to the administration of a valid rescue therapy. An independent Critical Events Committee (CEC) will adjudicate whether or not patients meet the primary endpoint and its individual morbidity components.
This phase II trial is studying how well giving MS-275 together with GM-CSF works in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome and/or relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia. MS-275 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Colony-stimulating factors, such as GM-CSF, may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood. Giving MS-275 together with GM-CSF may be an effective treatment for myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia
The reason for doing this study is to determine whether a new method of blood stem cell transplant (also known as bone marrow transplant) is able to treat acute lymphocytic leukemia. Blood stem cells are the "seed cells" necessary to make all blood cells. This new method of transplant uses a combination of low dose radiation and chemotherapy that may be less toxic and cause less harm than a conventional transplant. This lower dose transplant is called a "nonmyeloablative transplant". Researchers want to see if using less radiation and less chemotherapy combined with new immune suppressing drugs after the transplant will help a stem cell transplant to work. Researchers hope that this treatment will cure acute lymphocytic leukemia with fewer side effects. Researchers are hoping to see a mixture of recipient and donor blood cells after transplant. This mixture of donor and recipient blood cells is called "mixed chimerism". Researchers hope that donor cells will attack and eliminate the leukemia. This is called the "graft-versus-leukemia" effect. In addition, after the transplant, white blood cells from the donor may be given to enhance or "boost" the graft-versus-leukemia effect, and hopefully remove all remaining cancer cells. This study is being done because at the present time blood stem cell transplantation (or bone marrow transplantation) is the only known curative therapy for acute lymphocytic leukemia. Because of age or underlying health status acute lymphocytic leukemia patients have a higher likelihood of experiencing severe harm from a conventional blood stem cell transplant. Researchers are doing this study to see if this new nonmyeloablative method of low dose radiation and low dose chemotherapy given before transplant and immune suppressive drugs after transplant will help make the transplant safer and also cure acute lymphocytic leukemia
Age-associated motor and cognitive deficits increase the risk of falls, a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Emerging evidence suggests that inflammatory mediators lead to impaired functional capacity and frailty in the elderly and suggests that immune system mediated inflammation in the brain play an important role in cognitive decline. Substantial literature has also demonstrated that age-targeted physical activity training are promising strategies for promoting the motor-cognitive process across the adult lifespan. Recently, the virtual reality (VR) application has been implemented in the neuropsychological rehabilitation settings suggesting that the VR-infused daily living activities may benefit the transfer of intervention outcomes and to promote autonomy in function of daily living such as cooking or grocery shopping. However, it remains unclear the effect of the VR-based exercise intervention (motor-cognitive impact) on older adults' cognitive function and fall prevention. The literature suggests that the similarity of VR exercises with real life activities may improve generalizability by extending the transfer of gains of training to everyday living and promote some aspects of quality of life in older adults. It is also unclear to what extent these aging-associated motor- cognitive changes may be affected by VR rehab games and whether systemic- and neuro-inflammation is ameliorated by this novel intervention in older adults. This purpose of this study is to design and implement a Virtual Reality-Infused Treadmill Training on Aging-Related Outcomes (V-TARGET) intervention, focusing on adults (aged up to 75 years old). The study will compare the effects of V-TARGET intervention (self-paced treadmill-simulator exercise with VR rehab games) against a control group on motor-cognitive function, health-related quality of life (HRQOL), circulating inflammatory markers and cerebral/peripheral blood flow through this 5-week intervention (2 times/week, 30-minutes/session, 10 sessions total).
The investigators aim to evaluate English and Spanish versions of the "Attitudes toward genomics and precision medicine" instrument (AGPM). This study will help validating a Spanish version of the AGPM among people identifying as Hispanic, Latino, or Latina. Having a valid instrument is important for developing tailored interventions to decrease disparities in genomic healthcare for this population.
The proposed study evaluates the effect of medial and lateral wedges and carbon fiber custom dynamic orthoses (CDOs) on lower limb forces and motion during walking. Previous work has used foam wedges of different stiffness and height placed under the heel to alter CDO alignment and alter lower limb mechanics. Medial or lateral wedges have been used by individuals with unilateral knee osteoarthritis in effort to reduce knee loading. In this study, medial and lateral wedges will be placed in participants shoes, with the tall side of the wedge placed on the medial or lateral aspect of the shoes, and participants will walk at controlled and self-selected speeds and complete physical performance measures. Participants will also walk without a CDO. The proposed study will provide evidence that can be used by physicians when treating knee osteoarthritis.
The primary purpose of this research study is to determine if the stiffness of a commercially available ankle foot orthosis (Malleo-Lok, Bio-Mechanical Composites, Des Moines IA) impacts gait biomechanics and overall joint level stiffness. Previously published research suggests that AFO stiffness can affect gait biomechanics and patient preference. However, previous studies have focused on traditional posterior strut devices with the strut aligned in the frontal plane to allow sagittal plane deflection. The Malleo-Lok is a novel, low-profile carbon fiber device with two laterally positioned struts aligned in the sagittal plane. The proposed study will provide insight that can be used by certified prosthetists orthotists (CPOs), physical therapists, and physicians to select the device that bests meets their patients' needs.
The proposed study evaluates the effect of carbon fiber brace design on forces across the ankle joint. It is expected that carbon fiber braces can be designed to reduce forces in the ankle. In this study, brace geometry will be varied to determine how these changes influence the forces experienced by ankle cartilage. The purpose of this study is to refine a pre-existing musculoskeletal model and finalize the procedures for inputting multiple data sources into the model to evaluate ankle articular contact stresses.
