2 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This clinical trial tests next generation sequencing (NGS) for the detection of precursor features of pre-myeloid cancers and bone marrow failure syndromes. NGS is a procedure that looks at relevant cancer associated genes and what they do. Finding genetic markers for pre-malignant conditions may help identify patients who are at risk of pre-myeloid cancers and bone marrow failure syndromes and lead to earlier intervention.
This study is designed to collect longitudinal biological samples from patients after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) cared for at multiple bone marrow transplant centers to validate biomarkers of both acute and chronic GVHD as well as for use in future unspecified research. The centers include Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Boston's Children's Hospital, Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Texas Children's Hospital, Children's National Medical Center, and Indiana University Simon Cancer Center.
