3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The primary objective of this study is to assess the feasibility of a multi-institutional study that collects cardiopulmonary exercise testing and 6 minute walk distance performance testing prior to a cycle of chemotherapy (or transplant), followed by collection of patient generated health data (wearable activity monitors and patient reported outcomes) for the subsequent month. In addition to demonstrating feasibility, the study looks to generate preliminary data that supports the capacity of physical performance testing and patient-generated health data to complement clinician-rated performance status in patients receiving chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study to determine if the addition of daratumumab to bortezomib + lenalidomide + dexamethasone (VRd) will improve overall minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity rate compared with VRd alone.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn what dose of a kind of immune cell called T-lymphocytes (T-cells) given as a donor infusion about 8-9 weeks after a stem cell transplant has the best results. The safety of this treatment will also be studied. This will be tested in patients with leukemia, MDS, lymphoma, Hodgkin disease, and multiple myeloma. These results are measured as helping to control the disease without severe graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). GvHD is when transplanted donor tissue attacks the tissues of the recipient's body. Fludarabine, melphalan, and alemtuzumab are commonly given before stem cell transplants: * Fludarabine is designed to interfere with the DNA (genetic material) of cancer cells, which may cause the cancer cells to die. * Melphalan is designed to bind to the DNA of cells, which may cause cancer cells to die. * Alemtuzumab is designed to weaken the immune system and reduce the risk of rejection of the transplant and graft-vs-host disease (GvHD). The donor infusion of T-cells is designed to help restore the immune system after the transplant, cause an immune reaction against the cancer, and reduce the risk of the cancer coming back.
