10 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This research study is studying a drug as a possible treatment for Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (BOS) after having an Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT).
This study is a pilot two- center study to determine if aztreonam lysine for inhalation AZLI can be safely and self-administered in lung transplant recipients with newly diagnosed bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome, grade 1 (BOS) and obtain pilot data regarding its effect on lung function in order to appropriately design and power a larger multicenter randomized study. The hypothesis is that AZLI is a safe and effective treatment for declining lung function in lung transplant recipients with early stage BOS.
The primary aims of this study is to determine the efficacy and tolerability of Extracorporeal Photopheresis (ECP) for the treatment of either Refractory Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (BOS) patients (258 at cessation of enrollment April 7, 2022) or Newly Diagnosed (22 as of enrollment Hold February 2022) Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome patients after lung transplantation. In compliance with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' (CMS) Coverage with Evidence Development (CED) decision, the study will collect specified demographic, comorbidity, treatment, and outcome data exclusively for Medicare beneficiaries who are treated with ECP for either refractory or New BOS.
While many patients experience benefits from transplant, complications such as infections and lung rejection may affect long term survival and quality of life. In this study doctors are looking at a complication called Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction (CLAD). CLAD is thought to be chronic rejection of the lung by the immune system and is the leading cause of death after lung transplantation. The purpose of this study is to help doctors determine: * why some people get CLAD and others do not * how patients who get CLAD do after CLAD is diagnosed * how CLAD may affect quality of life
The objective of this protocol is to use established standard criteria and methods for the collection of hMSC (human mesenchymal stromal cells) from healthy bone marrow donors. The hMSC collected from the donors will use to develop well-defined and reproducible cell banks. Standard manufacturing procedures and quality control testing methods will be used to characterize and evaluate the final cell product. After the cell banks are created, these cell products will be used in future translational or clinical research.
The aim of this study is to describe the forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) decline and natural disease evolution in patients affected by CLAD-BOS after lung transplantation and receiving an immunosuppressive therapy as standard of care.
This observational trial studies whether respiratory viruses are the cause of lung disease (bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome \[BOS\] or graft-versus-host disease of the lung) and changes in lung function in patients who have received a donor stem cell transplant. Patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) are at higher risk of developing BOS. Studies have also shown that patients who had a respiratory viral illness early after their transplant are at higher risk of developing lung problems later on. Patients who are at risk and who already have BOS might benefit from being monitored more closely. Spirometry is a way of assessing a patient's lung function and is often used to diagnose lung disease. Spirometry measured at home with a simple handheld device may reduce the burden of performing pulmonary function testing at a facility and potentially help patients get their lung disease diagnosed and treated sooner.
The objective of the trial is to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of L-CsA plus Standard of Care (SoC) in the treatment of BOS in single (SLT) and double lung transplant (DLT) recipients.
This is a phase 1, non-randomized, single-arm, open label, single center clinical trial to determine the tolerability and safety of pirfenidone in patients with BOS associated with lung GVHD after hematopoietic cell transplant.
This study is a prospective, non-randomized, longitudinal, observational study that will recruit about 5 lung transplant patients per year for 3 years.
