Cyclophosphamide Treatment Options in Minnesota

This is a phase II trial using a non-myeloablative cyclophosphamide/ fludarabine/total body irradiation (TBI) preparative regimen with modifications based on factors including diagnosis, disease status, and prior treatment. Single or double unit selected according to current University of Minnesota umbilical cord blood graft selection algorithm. Read Less

A phase II trial of a reduced intensity conditioned (RIC) allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) for idiopathic severe aplastic anemia (SAA), paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), acquired pure red cell aplasia (aPRCA), or acquired amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (aAT) utilizing population pharmacokinetic (popPK)-guided individual dosing of pre-transplant conditioning and differential dosing of low dose total body irradiation based on age, presence of myelodysplasia and/or clonal hematopoiesis.

Background: - In allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT), stem cells are taken from a donor and given to a recipient. Sometimes the recipient's immune system destroys the donors' cells. Or donor immune cells attack the recipient's tissues, called graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). This is less likely when the recipient and donor have similar human leukocyte antigens (HLA). Researchers want to see if the drug palifermin improves the results of allogeneic SCT from HLA-matched unrelated donors. Objective: - To see if high doses of palifermin before chemotherapy are safe, prevent chronic GVHD, and improve immune function after transplant. Eligibility: - Adults 18 years of age or older with blood or bone marrow cancer with no HLA-matched sibling donor, but with a HLA-matched unrelated donor. Description of Research Study: * Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, and blood and urine tests. They will have scans and heart and lung exams. * Before transplant, participants will: * Have many tests and exams. These include blood tests throughout the study and bone marrow biopsy. * Get a central line catheter if they do not have one. * Have 1-3 rounds of chemotherapy. * Have more tests to make sure they can have the transplant, including medical history, physical exam, blood tests, disease specific restaging. * Get palifermin by intravenous (IV) and conditioning chemotherapy to prepare for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). They will get other drugs; some they will take at least 6 months. * Participants will get the HSCT. * After transplant, participants will: * Be hospitalized at least 3-4 weeks. * Monitored at least weekly for the first 100 days. * Stay near District of Columbia (D.C). for approximately 100 days post-transplant. * After 100 days post-transplant - visit National Institutes of Health (NIH) 5 times the first 2 years, then yearly until 5 years post-transplant. * Additional tests/procedures may be performed to monitor safety, response to transplant, side effects.

This phase III trial studies different chemotherapy and radiation therapy regimens to compare how well they work in treating young patients with newly diagnosed, previously untreated, high-risk medulloblastoma. Chemotherapy drugs, such as vincristine sulfate, cisplatin, cyclophosphamide, and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Carboplatin may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. It is not yet known which chemotherapy and radiation therapy regimen is more effective in treating brain tumors. Read Less

This is an open label, Phase 1/2, first-in-human, multiple ascending dose, and dose-expansion study of IDP-023 administered as a single agent and in combination with or without interleukin-2 (IL-2), and with or without isatuximab, daratumumab or rituximab to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary antitumor activity in patients with advanced hematologic cancers.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, vincristine sulfate, and prednisone, work in different ways to stop cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill cancer cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, such as yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan, can find cancer cells and carry cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Comparing results of diagnostic procedures, such as PET scan and CT scan, done before, during, and after chemotherapy may help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This phase II trial studies how well PET-directed chemotherapy works in treating patients with limited-stage diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of Reduced Dose Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide (PTCy) in patients with hematologic malignancies after receiving an HLA-Mismatched Unrelated Donor (MMUD) . The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Does a reduced dose of PTCy reduce the occurrence of infections in the first 100 days after transplant? * Does a reduced dose of PTCy maintain the same level of protection against Graft Versus Host Disease (GvHD) as the standard dose of PTCy?

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of Daratumumab, Bortezomib, Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone (DVRd) followed by Ciltacabtagene Autoleucel versus Daratumumab, Bortezomib, Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone (DVRd) followed by Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT) in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients.

AL (or light chain) amyloidosis begins in the bone marrow where abnormal proteins misfold and create free light chains that cannot be broken down. These free light chains bind together to form amyloid fibrils that build up in the extracellular space of organs, affecting the kidneys, heart, liver, spleen, nervous system and digestive tract. The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether CAEL-101, a monoclonal antibody that removes AL amyloid deposits from tissues and organs, improves overall survival, reduces cardiovascular related hospitalizations and it is safe and well tolerated in patients with stage IIIb AL amyloidosis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of daratumumab plus cyclophosphamide, bortezomib and dexamethasone (CyBorD) compared with CyBorD alone in treatment of newly diagnosed amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis participants. Read Less
