3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Ongoing safety assessment follow-up to Protocol MSB-GVHD001 (NCT02336230) of remestemcel-L treatment in pediatric participants with acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD), following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), that have failed to respond to treatment with systemic corticosteroid therapy.
The study plans to treat at least 60 pediatric participants, male and female, between the ages of 2 months and 17 years inclusive with aGVHD following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) that has failed to respond to treatment with systemic corticosteroid therapy. Participants may have Grades C and D aGVHD involving the skin, liver and/or gastrointestinal (GI) tract or Grade B aGVHD involving the liver and/or GI tract, with or without concomitant skin disease.
Primary Objectives: 1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) of oxaliplatin in combination with fludarabine, Ara-C and rituximab in patients with Richter's transformation, prolymphocytic leukemia (PLL), or refractory/relapsed B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). 2. Assess the complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) rate to combination therapy of oxaliplatin, fludarabine, Ara-C and rituximab in patients with Richter's transformation, PLL or refractory/relapsed B-cell CLL. 3. Determine the safety and toxicity profile of combination therapy of oxaliplatin, fludarabine, Ara-C and rituximab in patients with Richter's transformation, PLL or refractory/relapsed B-cell CLL. Secondary Objectives: 1. Determine the duration of response, failure-free survival, and overall survival. 2. Determine the incidence of infections (bacterial, fungal, and viral) in patients with Richter's transformation, prolymphocytic leukemia or refractory/relapsed B-cell CLL treated with rituximab, oxaliplatin, fludarabine and Ara-C; monitor immune parameters such as T cell counts and immunoglobulin levels; and monitor Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) status. 3. Characterize the pharmacodynamics of oxaliplatin in leukemia cells with respect to total adduct formation, cross-link formation and excision deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) responses. Compare these parameters in cells from the same patient after treatment with oxaliplatin in combination with fludarabine and Ara-C.
