12 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
To determine whether providing a recombinant booster COVID-19 vaccine improves sustained humoral and cell-mediated immunogenicity against SARS-CoV-2 in immunosuppressed patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and/or solid organ transplant recipients. 120 participants will be enrolled and can expect to be on study for 6 months.
This phase I trial tests the feasibility and safety of genetically modified cytotoxic T-lymphocytes in controlling infections caused by adenovirus (ADV), BK virus (BKV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), JC virus (JCV), or COVID-19 in immunocompromised patients with cancer. Viral infections are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and therapeutic options for these infections are often complicated by associated toxicities. Genetically modified cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) are designed to kill a specific virus that can cause infections. Depending on which virus a patient is infected with (ADV, BKV, CMV, JCV, or COVID-19), the CTLs will be designed to specifically attack that virus. Giving genetically modified CTLs may help to control the infection.
This is a preliminary trial of a Hepatitis B vaccine (Heplisav-B) in medically immunosuppressed patients. The purpose of this study is to test the ability of Heplisav-B to produce high levels of antibody that neutralize the virus and prevent hepatitis B from coming back. Another important purpose is to test the safety of this vaccine in patients taking immune suppressive medicines.
Influenza is a common infection of the upper airways and lungs, and is caused by viruses. Cancer patients may need a stronger influenza vaccine than the general population to protect against influenza. The experimental vaccine is designed to be 9 times stronger than the standard vaccine, which may cause a stronger immune response against influenza in patients with a weakened immune system. The goal of this study is to compare the effects of a new experimental influenza vaccine to the effects of the standard influenza vaccine. One hundred bone marrow recipients, adult volunteers from the MD Anderson Cancer Center, 18 years of age or older, will participate in this study. They will be randomly (by chance) assigned to receive 2 doses of either the standard licensed influenza vaccine or the experimental influenza vaccine. Participants will be asked to complete 5 study visits and 3 telephone contacts. Study procedures include blood draws. The duration of participation is about 6 months.
RSV infections can develop into serious, life threatening conditions among immunocompromised patients. The objective of this study (ADMA 001) is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RI-001 for the prevention of lower respiratory tract infections in immunocompromised patients identified as being infected with RSV in the upper respiratory tract.
This retrospective study will evaluate characteristics, vaccine utilization and outcomes among subjects with immunocompromising conditions that received COVID-19 vaccination.
This study is being conducted to determine if patients with compromised B-cell function due to anti-CD20 therapy and newly diagnosed COVID-19 infection benefit from convalescent plasma.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of influenza vaccine in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) on immunosuppressive therapy with IBD patients on aminosalicylates and healthy historical controls.
This multi-center study will evaluate the safety and immune response to recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV) series in 264 patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) on immunosuppressive therapy recruited from 6 study sites who can expect to be on study for up to 14 months.
In this prospective cohort study, investigators will conduct ultrasound surveillance of the nodal basins of patients with head and neck cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) whose tumors are considered high risk and staged by the Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) tumor staging system. The study will enroll patients with tumors staged T2a and who are also immunosuppressed (from solid organ transplant, hematologic malignancy or autoimmune disease), T2b (sentinel lymph node negative), and T3 (sentinel lymph node negative). After two years of surveillance, outcomes regarding local recurrence, nodal metastasis, disease specific death, and overall survival will be compared with historical controls with the overall hypothesis that ultrasound surveillance will detect subclinical disease earlier and help improve outcomes.
A prospective, multisite study to evaluate the Impact of Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella ProQuad® vaccination in pediatric patients 6-24 months of age who are being considered and/or evaluated for any solid organ transplant (heart, liver or kidney)
The purpose of this study is to determine how monocyte HLA-DR and other markers of immune function change with time in patients with and without prior immune dysfunction who survive sepsis from Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. We hypothesize that patients with prior immune dysfunction will have greater reductions in HLA-DR and other markers of immune function after an episode of sepsis than people who do not have prior immune dysfunction.
