NCT06541002
This research study is evaluating the efficacy of a novel self-administered digital application for improving sexual health outcomes, quality of life, and psychological distress in hematopoietic stem cell transplant survivors.
NCT06910969
The goal of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of a multidisciplinary group-based telehealth intervention (HORIZONS) compared to minimally enhanced usual care for improving self-management and quality of life for hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) survivors living with chronic graft-versus host disease, and to identify critical facilitators and barriers for HORIZONS implementation and adoption.

Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (also termed "bone marrow transplantation") involves transferring stem cells from a healthy person (the donor) to the patient, after high-intensity chemotherapy or radiation, given to destroy any remaining cancer cells in the body. When a transplant is successful, the donor stem cells replace the original cells in the bone marrow. It may provide the only long-term cure of the patient's disease. Of transplant-related complications, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is one of the most important complications. GVHD arises from donor immune cells, that identify the recipient's (the patien's) cells as foreign and attack them. Approximately half of women undergoing transplantation will experience GVHD involving the genitalia (i.e., the vulva and vagina), termed vulvovaginal GVHD (VV-GVHD). VV-GVHD may cause irreversible anatomical changes, including complete vaginal obliteration, and not surprisingly, it has a severe impact on patients' quality of life and sexual function. This complication is unpredictable and non-preventable by the usual immunosuppressive treatment given to patients. Frequent gynecological examinations and prolonged follow-up of transplanted women are needed, to allow early diagnosis and prevention of harmful results of VV-GVHD. This follow-up adds inconvenience and anxiety to the patients. The suggested study aims to evaluate a possible association between vaginal microorganisms (the "microbiome") to the progress of VV-GVHD. Finding such association may allow prediction of VV-GVHD progress, a better understanding of the development of VV-GVHD and a potential to develop interventions for the treatment and prevention of VV-GVHD.
NCT06416761
This study evaluates the role of genetic in the development and progression of different nephropaties with particular attention to: * AKI * CKD * Hypertension * ADPKD * CKD-MBD * Patients with decompensated heart failure undergoing either medical or surgery therapy * Patients with hematologic cancer exposed to chemotherapeutic agents or undergoing allogeneic bone marrow transplantation * glomerular diseases
NCT05895201
This is an open label Phase I-II study to determine the safe doses of bortezomib, sitagliptin, and PTCy (Phase I) with expansion into a phase II trial to determine efficacy in improving survival.
NCT05694910
The aim of the study is to examine the effect of Reiki on fatigue, vital signs, and engraftment in bone marrow transplant patients.
NCT05175222
Oral mucositis (OM) is a common and debilitating adverse effect of conditioning regimens in patients undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). It is treated symptomatically with pain relief medications. The use of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) to prevent tissue damage has been postulated for almost forty years, however, there are only a few reports concerning old generation lasers in mucositis prophylaxis in HCT recipients. Here we hypothesized, that a new generation LLLT (Nd: YAG Fotona LightWalker®) laser may be an effective prophylaxis in shortening and reducing the severity of this complication.
NCT03818334
This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of cyclophosphamide in patients receiving a bone marrow graft from a matched unrelated donor in overall survival, progression free survival and cumulative incidence of acute and chronic GvHD. Thirty patients will receive cyclophosphamide while twenty patients will receive antihuman T-lymphocyte immune globulin (ATG).
