Myelodysplasia

Our project aims to identify metabolites and biomarkers associated with luspatercept-related asthenia in a prospective French study of low-risk MDS patients treated per EMA guidelines. This is a prospective cohort of patients with MDS treated with luspatercept. The main comparisons will consist in exploring differences in biomarkers plasma levels between patients experiencing fatigue after luspatercept initiation, vs those who do not.

This is an open label, non-randomized, multicenter, pilot, dose expansion study of low dose post-transplant cyclophosphamide (25 mg/kg on Days +3 and +4)/tacrolimus/ruxolitinib in the setting of myeloablative conditioning (MAC) allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT).

This is a Phase II study of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) using a myeloablative preparative regimen (of either total body irradiation (TBI); or, fludarabine/busulfan for patients unable to receive further radiation). followed by a post-transplant graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis regimen of post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy), tacrolimus (Tac), and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF).

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disease but, paradoxically, and unlike other autoimmune diseases, antiplatelet antibodies are not used either for the diagnosis of the disease or for its prognosis. ITP is a diagnosis of exclusion retained after elimination of other pathologies leading to a thrombocytopenia. No major study has prospectively evaluated the diagnostic value of the presence of anti-platelet antibodies in the etiological investigation of a thrombocytopenia, nor the impact of platelet antibodies on the course of ITP. The gold standard analysis for the determination of platelet antibodies, is the "monoclonal antibody immobilization of platelet antigens" assay (MAIPA), either direct to detect autoantibodies attached to platelets, or indirect to detect circulating antiplatelet antibodies. Therefore, this work aims to study the contribution of the presence of anti-platelet antibodies detected in MAIPA to determine the autoimmune nature of a thrombocytopenia at diagnosis.

This is a single arm pilot study for patients with hematologic malignancies receiving unrelated or haploidentical related mobilized peripheral stem cells (PSCs) using the CliniMACS system for alpha/beta T cell depletion plus CD19+ B cell depletion with individualized ALC-based dosing of ATG to study impact on engraftment, GVHD, and disease free survival

This is a phase II, open-label, prospective study of T cell receptor alpha/beta depletion (TCR α/β TCD) peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation for children and adults with hematological malignancies. This is a safety/feasibility study of the investigational procedure/product.
