HEMATOLOGIC MALIGNANCY

This study tests a new COVID-19 vaccine (GEO-CM04S1) in 63 adults with blood cancers like leukemia or lymphoma who have had a stem cell transplant or cell therapy. The goal is to see if this vaccine triggers a stronger immune response than standard mRNA vaccines, potentially offe…

This study aimed to see if a special type of stem cell (hAESC) could safely prevent acute graft-versus-host disease in people receiving a stem cell transplant for blood cancer. It was designed for adults at high risk of this complication. However, the study was withdrawn before a…

This study tests a new way to do stem cell transplants for 20 children with blood cancers or myelodysplasia who don't have a perfect donor match. Doctors remove certain immune cells from a parent's partially matched stem cells before transplant to help the new cells grow faster a…

This early-stage trial tests a precise type of radiation (IMTMI) given with chemotherapy before a second donor stem cell transplant for people with advanced blood cancers that have returned. The goal is to find the safest dose and see if it can reduce side effects and prevent the…

This study tests an oral enzyme called SYN-004 in adults who have received a stem cell transplant and need intravenous antibiotics for fever. The enzyme is designed to break down antibiotics in the gut, protecting the natural bacteria there. Researchers will check safety, whether…

This study tests whether a lower-dose combination of two drugs (PTCy and ruxolitinib) can prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in older adults receiving a stem cell transplant for blood cancer. About 56 participants will receive the treatment and be monitored for survival wit…

This phase 2 trial tests whether adding the drug tocilizumab to a standard transplant regimen can prevent graft failure and graft-versus-host disease in people with blood cancers receiving a special type of bone marrow transplant. The study involves 21 participants and aims to re…

This phase II trial tests whether the drug ustekinumab (Stelara) can prevent acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in 116 adults receiving stem cell transplants for blood cancers. GVHD occurs when donor immune cells attack the patient's body. Ustekinumab aims to calm this immune…

This study tests whether a CMV-specific T cell immunity test can help doctors decide how long to give letermovir to prevent late CMV infection after a stem cell transplant. About 250 adults with blood cancers who had a first transplant will take part. The goal is to see if using …

This early-phase study tests whether giving healthy donor NK cells along with two medicines (vactosertib and IL-2) is safe and helps the cells stay active in people with advanced colorectal, stomach, esophageal, or blood cancers. The NK cells are meant to attack cancer, but the b…

This study tests whether teaching progressive muscle relaxation and providing psychoeducation can lower stress and increase hope in adults with blood cancers like leukemia or lymphoma. About 75 participants will learn these techniques and report their stress and hope levels. The …

This study tests whether a virtual reality (VR) program can help people undergoing bone marrow transplants cope with stress and improve their quality of life. About 80 adult patients with blood cancer will be randomly assigned to either receive the VR program plus usual care, or …

This study tests a mobile app called CARE designed to support caregivers of people receiving a bone marrow transplant. The goal is to see if using the app improves the caregiver's quality of life and reduces stress. About 120 adult caregivers will participate, and their well-bein…

This study collects blood and bone marrow samples from up to 550 people with blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, and myelodysplastic syndrome. Researchers will study the cells, genes, and proteins in these samples to better understand how these cancers develop and to find new …

This study uses bone marrow samples from 70 people with blood cancers to create 3D organoids—tiny lab-grown models that mimic the tumor's environment. Researchers will test different chemotherapy combinations on these organoids to see which kills the most cancer cells. The goal i…

This study looks at how doctors and patients feel about a new approach to picking antibiotics for people with blood cancers who have a reported penicillin allergy. The goal is to understand what might make it easier or harder to use this approach in everyday hospital care. About …

This study collects tissue and blood samples from 1,200 adults with known or suspected cancer. The samples are taken during standard surgeries or biopsies, with no extra procedures. Researchers will compare cancerous and normal tissues to identify differences that could lead to n…

This study aims to find out how often cannabis withdrawal happens and how severe it is in patients with blood cancers who are hospitalized for a bone marrow transplant or CAR-T therapy. Researchers will track symptoms like mood changes and physical discomfort using a standard que…

This study follows 500 children and young adults who received gene therapy for cancer as part of earlier trials. Researchers will monitor them for up to 15 years to detect any delayed side effects. Participants have blood tests and health check-ups at regular intervals. No new tr…

This study looks at whether older adults with cancer can use computer surveys (like on a tablet or computer) to answer health questions. Researchers want to see if these digital tools are easy to use, reliable, and give the same results as paper surveys. About 100 people aged 65 …

This study follows 178 patients who previously received an AvenCell CAR-T cell therapy for cancers like lymphoma, leukemia, or prostate cancer. Researchers will track delayed side effects, including new cancers or autoimmune issues, for years. No new treatment is given—this is pu…

This study follows about 150 people who previously received Caribou cell therapy for blood cancers like lymphoma or leukemia. Researchers will check for long-term side effects and overall survival for up to 15 years after treatment. No new treatment is given—this is just observat…

This study looks at how different antibiotics change the friendly bacteria in the gut of people who have had a stem cell transplant and develop a fever with low white blood cells. The goal is to understand which antibiotics are gentler on these helpful bacteria, which may lead to…

This study tests a program called PATH-C that uses positive psychology exercises to improve well-being, quality of life, and physical activity in caregivers of stem cell transplant patients. About 80 adult caregivers will be randomly assigned to the program or usual support. The …

This study looks at whether the time when stem cells are given to blood cancer patients after a donor transplant affects their risk of developing acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), a serious complication where donor cells attack the patient's body. About 198 patients aged 1…
