Clinical trials

For the next 5-10 years or possibly longer, a high proportion of the Cord Blood Banks (CBB) inventory worldwide will be composed of unlicensed umbilical cord blood (UCB) units. While Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-licensed units will be prioritized, it will always be possible that an unlicensed unit will have known attributes, making it a better source of cells for the given indication. Because of the wide variety of current and potential indications as a source of cells for hematopoietic reconstitution or other form of cellular therapy, it is critical that the investigators have access to unlicensed UCB units.

This is a Phase 2 single arm study to evaluate efficacy and safety of Pembrolizumab before with BEAM ASCT followed by Pembrolizumab maintenance for 1 year. Patients will receive 200 mg Pembrolizumab Q3week starting at day - 28 before stem cell transplant until 1 year after autologous stem cell transplant.

This is a randomized, active-controlled, parallel-group, double-blind Phase II trial, of oral restorative microbiota therapy (RMT) or placebo combined with intravenous (IV) durvalumab (MEDI4736) plus chemotherapy in patients with treatment naïve advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

The study follows a Simon's two-stage phase II trial design to evaluate the safety and efficacy of tafasitamab added to rituximab and lenalidomide for two treatment-naïve, parallel, independent cohorts: follicular lymphoma (FL) and marginal zone lymphoma (MZ). Each cohort, FL and MZ, will be evaluated separately. This study is presented to the patient and consent is signed prior to the initiation of treatment for their primary malignancy.

Understanding ways to help people who live in rural areas quit smoking is a public health priority. quitting smoking among rural people who smoke is a critical public health concern. People in rural areas smoke at higher rates than those in urban areas, experience high rates of smoking caused cancers and deaths. We are recruiting rural people from around the country to better understand how different quit smoking methods can improve a person's chances of successfully quitting smoking.

This is a Phase I/II study evaluating safety and efficacy of proteasome inhibitor (bortezomib) in combination with CPX-351 (liposomal daunorubicin and cytarabine) for the treatment of newly-diagnosed TP53-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (TP53m AML). The primary endpoint of the study is to define safety/tolerability (phase I) and preliminary efficacy profile (phase II) of the treatment. The secondary endpoints of interest are complete remission (CR) rate, detectable minimal residual disease (MRD) status, overall response rate (ORR), rate of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT), treatment-related mortality (TRM), overall survival (OS), achievement of complete remission anytime in 1 year, and disease-free survival (DFS) at 1 year and 2 years. All the patient outcomes assessments will be performed as part of standard-of-care AML management. The hypothesis is the combination of bortezomib and CPX-351 will have an acceptable safety profile in this patient population based on the data from previous studies. The treatment will attenuate Nuclear Factor kB pathway activation in these cells and eradicate TP53m leukemia stem cells (LSC) leading to increased response rate and survival in these patients.

This is a minimal risk intervention study where healthy volunteers and individuals with Fanconi anemia will consume a single dose of alcohol and provide primarily non-invasive biological samples at various time points. Biospecimens to be collected include saliva, oral cells collected via mouthwash and cheek brush, and urine. The collection of two blood samples (5 mL each) will be optional and banked for future use.

This is a Phase I dose finding study of GTB-3650 (anti-CD16/IL-15/anti-CD33) Tri-Specific Killer Engager (TriKE®) for the treatment of select CD33-expressing refractory/relapsed myeloid malignancies in adults ≥ 18 years of age who are not a candidate for potentially curative therapy, including hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and are refractory to, intolerant of, or ineligible for therapy options that are known to provide clinical benefit. The hypothesis is GTB-3650 TriKE will induce natural killer (NK) cell function by targeting malignant cells, as well as, CD33+ myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSC) which contribute to a tumor induced immunosuppression. Because CD16 is the most potent activating receptor on NK cells, this single agent may induce a targeted antiCD33+ tumor response

The goal of this study is to comprehensively measure ongoing concerns and unmet needs of individuals living with ovarian cancer. To accomplish this, the UNderstanding The experience of Ovarian cancer - Life after Diagnosis (UNTOLD) study will be conducted using a mixed-methods approach. Ovarian cancer survivors will be enrolled to participate in UNTOLD to complete a one-time survey regarding their experiences. Up to 40 survivors will be subsequently identified to complete a follow-up interview. To ensure these sample sizes, along with a representative sample, a combined recruitment strategy will be employed using the California Cancer Registry (population-based) and recruitment through ovarian cancer advocacy groups.

The aim of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy of a culturally aligned digital smoking cessation resource for American Indian persons who smoke, via a remotely conducted randomized controlled trial.

This is a Phase II study following subjects proceeding with our Institutional non-myeloablative cyclophosphamide/ fludarabine/total body irradiation (TBI) preparative regimen followed by a related, unrelated, or partially matched family donor stem cell infusion using post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy), sirolimus and MMF GVHD prophylaxis.

This is a treatment guideline for a second or greater allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) using a reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) in patients with non-malignant or malignant diseases. This regimen, consisting of busulfan, fludarabine, and low dose total body irradiation (TBI), is designed to promote engraftment in patients who failed to achieve an acceptable level of donor-derived engraftment following a previous allogeneic HCT.

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).

There are two components to the study: a patient and a clinician study. The clinician study will include one-hour semi-structured interviews with oncology specialists to identify facilitators and barriers to integrating digital diet interventions into the clinical workflow, and to understand their needs and preferences for digital diet interventions. The patient study aims to investigate initial feasibility, efficacy and acceptability of the GutCheck app and intervention. It will last 9 weeks and involves 2 study visits and 2 active phases with a transition week and optional transition visit between phases. During active phases, participants will be asked to use the GutCheck app every day. Prior to the first active phase, participants will go through informed consent and app training. The first active phase will last two weeks and will focus on tracking participants' diet, gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, and stress. The data collected during the first active phase will be used to identify any potential trigger foods that may contribute to GI symptoms, but only if the participant reports experiencing GI symptoms. Between active phases, participants will have one Transition Week, where results from the first phase are given to the participants with the option to attend a Transition Week Visit. The second active phase will last four weeks and will involve the message intervention. A single-blind, micro-randomized trial design will be used to repeatedly randomize participants to different intervention combinations, determining both the timing and frequency of intervention message delivery throughout the day. Lastly, there will be an exit visit and interview within a week from the intervention to collect post-intervention measures and ask about the participant's experience with the GutCheck app.
