This is a Tissue Repository to collect and store tissue samples from normal donors and patients with hematological disorders for future study research studies. The purpose of the storage bank is to obtain a large number of the bone marrow aspirates, bone marrow biopsies, and/or blood as well as buccal smears (to be used as a non-hematologic control for each…
The purpose of this study is to find out if the study medicine called EDIT-301 will help in the treatment of Severe Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) and how safe it is to be used in people. EDIT-301 (study medicine) is a new investigational therapy which uses the patient's own stem cells, modifies them by CRISPR technology, and infuses them back to the…
Although supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), including atrial flutter (AF), are the most common causes of intended in-utero fetal therapy, none of the medication used to date has been evaluated for their effects on the mother and her baby in a randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT). In the absence of such evidence, there is no consensus for the optimal…
The purpose of this research study is to see whether the presence or absence of certain genes is associated with the development of AL amyloidosis in subjects 60 years of age or older with the blood disorders smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). Each person's disease has different genetic…
The purpose of this study is to learn about whether the study drug (PF-07209326) is safe and effective in people with sickle cell disease and learn about what the right dose is. We will look at drug levels in the blood, see how fast drug levels rise and fall, and what effects the drug has, all of which are known as the pharmacokinetics (PK) and…
This study is being done to learn more about the safety and effects of CTX001 in patients with severe SCD. CTX001 is created by changing (editing) the DNA in your own blood stem cells near a gene called BCL11A which is stored in a solution called dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to try to prevent cells from dying while they are frozen. BCL11A is the area in the…
This study is for patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). SCD is an inherited genetic disorder in which red blood cells become abnormally shaped (sickle cells). These sickle cells may block blood vessels and result in a vaso occlusive crisis (VOC). This leads to inflammation and tissue damage and causes pain in various parts of the body. The purpose of…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (how much the study drugs are absorbed in your body at different times), and efficacy (how well the study drugs work) of venetoclax in combination with azacitidine compared to azacitidine alone in subjects with previously untreated higher-risk MDS.
This is a Phase 3 multi-center open label randomized clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to learnmore about which anti-rejection (or immunosuppressive) medications best protect infants, children,adolescents, and young adults after they have had a heart transplant. Two different drug regimens will bewill be compared. All of these drugs are FDA-…
The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence and severity of acute GVHD following CD34+ selection in children, adolescents and young adults receiving an allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplant from a family member or unrelated adult donor for a non-malignant condition.
The purpose of this research is to learn how to help parent youth pairs work together to help youth with sickle cell disease take hydroxyurea every day as a daily habit. This study is for children and teens ages 10-18 with Sickle Cell Anemia taking hydroxyurea, and their parents (or guardians). Many children and teens do not use hydroxyurea every day. Daily…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (how much of the study drugs is present in your body at different times), and efficacy (how well the study treatment works) of venetoclax alone and of venetoclax in combination with azacitidine in subjects with higher-risk MDS after HMA-failure.
HELIOS-A is a global Phase 3 randomized, open-label study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ALN-TTRSC02 in adult patients with hATTR amyloidosis experiencing neurologic symptoms brought on by the disease. The study will also evaluate any changes in quality of life experienced by study participants. ALN-TTRSC02 utilizes the mechanism of RNA…
The main purpose of the study is to find out whether Triferic, when taken by mouth (orally) with Shohls solution, is safe and effective for the treatment of Iron Refractory Iron-Deficiency Anemia (IRIDA). The study drug, ferric pyrophosphate citrate (FPC), is also called Triferic. It is an iron salt that has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration…
Over time, children and young adults who have had a Fontan operation may find they are more tired, have difficulty breathing and cannot exercise as well as before. Currently, there are no approved medicines to prevent this decline. The purpose of this research study is to learn whether children who have had the Fontan operation can improve their ability to…
The purpose of this study is to collect information on whether idasanutlin is effective in treating polycythemia vera (a slow-growing blood cancer in which your bone marrow makes too many red blood cells) and what effects, good or bad, idasanutlin has on you. Idasanutlin is an experimental drug, which means Health Authorities (such as the US FDA) have not…
The purpose of this research study is to determine the effects of INCB050465 in combination with ruxolitinib treatment on spleen size and/or symptoms and to learn about any of the side effects that might occur during or following dosing with this combination of molecules in patients diagnosed with myelofibrosis.
This study focuses on the effects of aerobic conditioning on cognition and brain activity. Eligible participants will complete an exercise stress test, MRI, and cognitive testing session at the beginning and end of the study. Once participants complete the first set of appointments, they will be randomly assigned to one of two conditions for 12-weeks.…
The main purpose of this research study is to determine the effect of the study drug compared to placebo in increasing red blood cell counts and reducing the severity of symptoms of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). A placebo is a dummy drug: it looks like the study drug but contains no medicine. Subjects being asked to take part in this research study have SCD.…
This study focuses on the effects of aerobic conditioning on cardiovascular function and inflammatory response. Eligible participants will complete an exercise stress test, laboratory visit, and cognitive testing session at three specific time points over the course of the study. Once the initial set of appointments is complete, participants are randomly…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ION-682884 given for 24 months in patients with hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloid polyneuropathy (hATTR-PN) also known as Familial Amyloid Polyneuropathy (FAP), and determine if it can help people with mild or moderate polyneuropathy. To be in this study you must have FAP and be…
This research study is being done to determine if an investigational drug, SY-1425 (tamibarotene) works in treating AML (acute myeloid leukemia) and MDS (myelodysplastic syndrome) in patients with a certain biomarker in their blood (a blood test that may indicate the drug target is present in your type of AML or MDS).
This study is being done to see if giving your child a lower dose of chemotherapy (drug therapy), than has been used historically in bone marrow transplant, to kill his/her own diseased cells before he/she receives a bone marrow transplant, will possibly result in the permanent control of your child's sickle cell disease. Patients will receive busulfan…
