The purpose of this study is to see whether or not the medicine, Abatacept, when given after hematopoietic stemcell transplantation (HSCT) is effective in treating GVHD in children and adolescents with sickle cell disease (SCD). We are also planning to gather…
The goal of this early feasibility study is to gain initial insight into the basic safety and performance of transluminal (through the blood vessels) implantation of the PASCAL System's implant (composed of man-made materials). We are trying to evaluate the safety and performance of the PASCAL System…
The purpose of this study is to test a new medicine to prevent liver venoocclusive disease (VOD) in patients undergoing hematopoietic stemcell 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…
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 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 stemcell transplant in which someone receives bone marrow tissue or…
Are you undergoing a stemcell 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 stemcell…
The purpose of this study is to see which study drug is the better treatment for CMV infection. The study also wants to see how safe the study drugs are. The study drugs are Maribavir and Valganciclovir. Those who participate in the study will not know which drug they are taking. The study team will not know either.
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…
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…
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 stemcell or bone marrow transplant in which the newly transplanted donor cells attack the…
In this study, patients with heart failure, will undergo a cardiac catheterization procedure which either includes injections of stemcells from healthy young adults into the heart or a sham (mock) procedure that does not include injection of the stem…
