This study tested whether a drug called alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) can prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in people receiving stem cell transplants for blood cancers. GVHD occurs when donor immune cells attack the patient's body. The trial enrolled 222 participants and compa…

This phase 3 trial is testing an experimental oral drug, SAR302503, in people with a rare bone marrow disorder called myelofibrosis who have an enlarged spleen. Participants are randomly assigned to receive one of two doses of the drug or a placebo. The main goal is to see if the…

This early-stage trial is testing whether genetically modified T-cells can safely control viral infections in cancer patients with weakened immune systems. The T-cells are designed to target specific viruses like CMV, BK virus, or COVID-19. The study involves 30 participants and …

This phase 2 trial aimed to see if infliximab and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) could help cancer patients with severe lung inflammation that didn't respond to steroids. Only one patient was enrolled before the study was terminated, so no meaningful results were obtained. The…

This phase 2 trial tests an experimental drug called SAR302503 in people with myelofibrosis who have already been treated with ruxolitinib. The main goal is to see if the drug can shrink the spleen by at least 35% after six months of daily oral capsules. The study also tracks whe…

This study tested a combination of two drugs, bintrafusp alfa and pimasertib, in people whose cancer had spread to the brain. The goal was to find the safest dose and see if the treatment could slow or stop the cancer from growing. The trial was stopped early after enrolling only…

This study tested whether the antibiotic ceftolozane-tazobactam, guided by a rapid molecular test, could effectively treat serious Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in people with blood cancers or those who had a stem cell transplant. The 17 participants received the antibiotic t…

This study tested two extra care programs—supportive palliative care and clinical management of other health issues—for older or frail patients who had a donor stem cell transplant. The goal was to see if these programs could improve quality of life and survival compared to stand…

This early-phase study aimed to see if combining two immune-stimulating drugs (rintatolimod and interferon alpha-2b) could help cancer patients fight off COVID-19. Only 4 people took part before the study was stopped early. The main goals were to check safety and measure how the …

This early-phase study tested an experimental drug called BR108 in 8 adults with advanced blood cancers (lymphoma, leukemia, or myelodysplastic syndrome) that had not responded to prior treatments. The drug was given by IV infusion twice per cycle. The main goals were to check sa…

This early-phase trial tested a combination of two drugs, omacetaxine and venetoclax, in 24 adults with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) that had a specific genetic change called RUNX1. The goal was to find the best dose and se…

This study tested an experimental drug called INCB057643 in 137 people with advanced cancers that had stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal was to find a safe dose and check for side effects, both when given alone and with other cancer drugs. The trial was terminate…

This phase 2 trial tested the drug futibatinib in 115 people with advanced solid tumors or blood cancers that have specific FGFR gene changes. The goal was to see if the drug could shrink tumors or cause remission. The study was terminated early, so final results are not yet clea…

This study looked at a new way to prevent severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in children who had a bone marrow transplant for blood cancers. The goal was to see if stopping certain immune-suppressing drugs after day 60 could lower the risk of severe GVHD. Only 3 children too…

This pilot study looked at whether radiation therapy could help people with lymphoma that did not respond to CAR T cell therapy. Only 3 participants were enrolled before the study was terminated. The main goal was to check safety and side effects of adding radiation shortly after…

This pilot study tested whether a special PET scan (FDG-PET/CT) can detect hidden heart inflammation in cancer patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). The goal was to catch this inflammation early, before it becomes severe. Only 2 participants were enrolled, and t…

This study tested whether a digital platform could improve collaborative care for depression in cancer patients. About 300 adults receiving cancer treatment with significant depression symptoms were enrolled. The platform aimed to help care managers track symptoms and coordinate …

This study tested a sensory rehabilitation program for people who lost their sense of smell or taste after chemotherapy for blood cancers like multiple myeloma or lymphoma. The program involved exercises to retrain the nose and tongue. Only 5 people enrolled before the study ende…

This study looked at why minority cancer patients often don't take part in clinical trials. Researchers surveyed patients about their understanding and attitudes, then tested an educational video and booklet to see if it boosted enrollment. The goal was to create a personalized p…

This study looked at how healthy brothers and sisters of children with blood cancer felt about the information they got about the disease. Researchers interviewed 7 children aged 6 to 12 to understand their satisfaction and what they thought about the illness. The goal was to imp…
