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 purpose of this study is to determine if the study drugs, encorafenib, and cetuximab, taken in combination with pembrolizumab would improve compared to the outcome of pembrolizumab alone in study patients. Encorafenib and cetuximab target cancerous BRAF proteins and potentially slow down the growth of cancer cells. Pembrolizumab may help your immune…
This study is testing a drug called GDC-8264, which is being developed to treat acute graft-versus-host-disease (acute GVHD). GDC-8264 is an experimental drug, which means health authorities have not approved GDC-8264 in combination with standard medications for the treatment of acute GVHD. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects, good or bad,…
The BNT122-01 research study is testing an investigational medication (RO7198457) for patients who have had surgery for Stage II and Stage III colorectal cancer. The study will look at the safety and effectiveness of an investigational medication for patients who have had surgery for Stage II (high risk) and Stage III colorectal cancer. It will study…
This research study is sponsored by ImmunogenX and The National Institutes of Health (NIH, Bethesda, MD). The objective of this study is to determine if the investigational product (latiglutenase) will help decrease symptoms in subjects with celiac disease while maintaining a gluten-free diet while undergoing periodic gluten exposure. In addition, this…
This study evaluates whether the addition of immune therapy to usual FOLFOX chemotherapy in patients with deficient DNA mismatch repair stage III colon cancer can improve your outcome compared to FOLFOX alone. The immune therapy drug, atezolizumab, may allow your body's immune system to more effectively kill cancer cells in your body. One of the…
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, good or bad, of the cancer immunotherapy combination treatments (CIT) combinations versus standard treatment on you and your colorectal cancer to find out which is better.
This study is being done to answer the following question: Does duloxetine (either 30 mg or 60 mg) prevent numbness, tingling, and/or pain caused by your colorectal cancer treatment with oxaliplatin? We are doing this study because we want to find out if duloxetine can prevent Oxaliplatin-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (OIPN).
Studies have shown that cancer patients may be at high risk for financial problems because of the cost of treatment. These financial problems can be stressful and sometimes might cause patients to avoid or refuse treatment. This study will measure how often financial problems happen in patients with colorectal cancer, using questionnaires that collect…
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…
We are seeking children ages 7 - 12 to participate in a research study on irritability. The study consists of two lab visits. During the first lab visit, we will interview you and your child. During the second lab visit, your child will complete 3 tasks on the computer while electroencephalography (EEG) data are collected. We will also ask you to complete…
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…
This is a research study of a new drug for the treatment of new onset chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD). Chronic GVHD is a complication that can occur after a stem cell or bone marrow transplant in which the newly transplanted donor cells attack the transplant recipient's body. The current way to treat cGVHD is to use prednisone (a type of…
The purpose of this current study is to investigate the efficacy of a group model of Family Nurture Intervention in ameliorating behavioral problems in preschool-aged children. The behavioral, neurobiological and clinical insights gained from this project may eventually lead to better treatment of emotional, behavioral and developmental disorders. The…
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,…
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…

Deciphera Pharmaceuticals, LLC., the Sponsor of this study, is developing a drug called DCC-2618 to treat Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) that are growing because of changes in specific genes. Genes are the instructions that tell a part of your body called a cell what to do. Cancer changes the genes so that the instructions are no longer correct. DCC…
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…
