Are you undergoing a stem cell transplant? You may be at high risk for infections after the transplant. This study is looking at the safety and effectiveness of an investigational medication for those who have undergone a stem cell transplant. Recovery after a stem cell transplant can already be challenging without the added worry of life-threatening viral…
The primary objectives of this study are to measure the safety and effectiveness of bone marrow transplant (BMT) using specific chemotherapy in children with less severe SCD and to understand the long term effects of bone marrow transplant in children with SCD, by evaluating ovarian reserve, sickle cell related brain problems, sickle cell related kidney…
The purpose of this study is to test a new medicine to prevent liver venoocclusive disease (VOD) in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) who are at high risk or very high risk for liver VOD following HSCT. Liver VOD can be a complication of bone marrow and/or stem cell transplant,which may be life threatening. The condition is a…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of ATryn, for the treatment of early onset preeclampsia (high blood pressure during pregnancy). ATryn is is currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is used to prevent blood clots from forming in patients who are having surgery or giving birth to a child. Eligible…
The purpose of this study is to see whether or not the medicine, Abatacept, when given after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is effective in treating GVHD in children and adolescents with sickle cell disease (SCD). We are also planning to gather additional information about the safety of treating sickle cell disease with a hematopoietic stem…
In this study, we are trying to learn more about how stimulant medication produces an improvement in emotional lability (frequent mood changes and excessive emotional reactions) in patients with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD.) Although ADHD is primarily associated with inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, emotional ability plays a…
The main purpose of the study is to find out about whether the study drug is safe in humans and aneffective treatment in pediatric patients with acute Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD). GVHD mayoccur after a bone marrow or stem cell transplant in which someone receives bone marrow tissue orcells from a donor (called an allogeneic transplant). The new,…
Children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are typically treated with two types of medications: stimulants and non-stimulants. These medications work in different ways to treat ADHD symptoms, but we do not fully understand the brain mechanisms underlying the medications' effects. This study will use MRI scanning to look at changes in…
In this trial, we will evaluate whether partially-HLA matched allogeneic multivirus-specific VSTs, will be safe and produce anti-viral effects in immunodeficient recipients infected with one of more of the targeted viruses that are persistent despite conventional anti-viral therapy. This will be in patients who have received a hematopoietic stem cell…
