Daily Aspirin vs Split Dosing in High-risk Pregnancies (DASH)
Recruiting
Aspirin is recommended in high risk patients to reduce the risk of preeclampsia and preterm birth, which are leading causes of both maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality, but up to 20% will have these adverse outcomes despite therapy. Gaps in knowledge regarding pregnancy specific aspirin pharmacology and the relationship of aspirin response and pregnancy outcome, along with a lack of consensus on aspirin dosing has limited the effective use of this intervention. The investigators aim to... Read More

TRANSPIRE: Lung Injury in a Longitudinal Cohort of Pediatric HSCT Patients
Recruiting
Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is an effective but toxic therapy and pulmonary morbidity affects as many as 25% of children receiving transplant. Early pulmonary injury includes diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH), thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) interstitial pneumonitis (IPS) and infection, while later, bronchiolitis obliterans is a complication of chronic GVHD associated with severe morbidity and mortality. Improved diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary complications are urgently need... Read More

Ruxolitinib for Early Lung Dysfunction After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant
Recruiting
Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is an effective but toxic therapy, and lung injury affects as many as 25% of children receiving HSCT. Improved transplant techniques and major improvements in survival mean that HSCT is being more widely used, and more mismatched grafts are being used. Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is a major limitation of pediatric HSCT success as BO is commonly diagnosed late in children, when lung injury is irreversible, leading to long term morbidity or even death. C... Read More
