This phase I trial studies the side effects of donor natural killer (NK) cell therapy in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back (recurrent) or has not responded to treatment (refractory). Natural killer cells are a type of immune cell. Immunotherapy with genetically modified NK cells from donors may induce changes in the body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread.

This phase II trial studies how well naive T-cell depletion works in preventing chronic graft-versus-host disease in children and young adults with blood cancers undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Sometimes the transplanted white blood cells from a donor attack the body's normal tissues (called graft versus host disease). Removing a particular type of T cell (naive T cells) from the donor cells before the transplant may stop this from happening.

This phase II trial is for patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome or chronic myeloid leukemia who have been referred for a peripheral blood stem cell transplantation to treat their cancer. In these transplants, chemotherapy and total-body radiotherapy ('conditioning') are used to kill residual leukemia cells and the patient's normal blood cells, especially immune cells that could reject the donor cells. Following the chemo/radiotherapy, blood stem cells from the donor are infused. These stem cells will grow and eventually replace the patient's original blood system, including red cells that carry oxygen to our tissues, platelets that stop bleeding from damaged vessels, and multiple types of immune-system white blood cells that fight infections. Mature donor immune cells, especially a type of immune cell called T lymphocytes (or T cells) are transferred along with these blood-forming stem cells. T cells are a major part of the curative power of transplantation because they can attack leukemia cells that have survived the chemo/radiation therapy and also help to fight infections after transplantation. However, donor T cells can also attack a patient's healthy tissues in an often-dangerous condition known as Graft-Versus-Host-Disease (GVHD). Drugs that suppress immune cells are used to decrease the severity of GVHD; however, they are incompletely effective and prolonged immunosuppression used to prevent and treat GVHD significantly increases the risk of serious infections. Removing all donor T cells from the transplant graft can prevent GVHD, but doing so also profoundly delays infection-fighting immune reconstitution and eliminates the possibility that donor immune cells will kill residual leukemia cells. Work in animal models found that depleting a type of T cell, called naïve T cells or T cells that have never responded to an infection, can diminish GVHD while at least in part preserving some of the benefits of donor T cells including resistance to infection and the ability to kill leukemia cells. This clinical trial studies how well the selective removal of naïve T cells works in preventing GVHD after peripheral blood stem cell transplants. This study will include patients conditioned with high or medium intensity chemo/radiotherapy who can receive donor grafts from related or unrelated donors.

Some kidney transplant candidates have a very low chance of getting a kidney transplant because their immune systems are "highly sensitized" to most kidney donors. Being "highly sensitized" means that they will likely have to wait a long time (more than 5 years) before an acceptable donor is found for them or, they never receive a compatible donor, and die while on the kidney transplant waitlist. The purpose of this study is to find out whether two drugs, carfilzomib (Kyprolis®),and belatacept (Nulojix®), can make these kidney transplant candidates less sensitized, and make it easier and quicker to find a kidney donor for them.

Anti-rejection medicines, also known as immunosuppressive drugs, are prescribed to organ transplant recipients to prevent rejection of the new organ. Long-term use of these medicines places transplant recipients at higher risk of serious infections and certain types of cancer. The purpose of this study is to determine if: * it is safe to give mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) to kidney transplant recipients, and * the combination of the immunosuppressive (anti-rejection) study drugs plus the MSCs can allow a kidney transplant recipient to slowly reduce and/or then completely stop all anti-rejection drugs, without rejection of their kidney (renal) allograft, a process called "immunosuppression withdrawal".

The goal of this pragmatic embedded open-label, 2 x 2 factorial phase II randomized controlled trial is to evaluate strategies to improve COVID-19 booster and influenza vaccine immunogenicity in people living with immunocompromising conditions (PLIC). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is co-administration of seasonal inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) with the most up-to-date recommended COVID-19 booster dose non-inferior in inducing a 1-month peak protective humoral response against COVID-19, compared to a strategy of sequential administration of COVID-19 booster dose followed by seasonal IIV given one month later? 2. Is the administration of the most up-to-date recommended COVID-19 booster doses at 3-month intervals superior at maintaining a longer term protective humoral immune response, compared to booster doses administered at 6-month intervals? Researchers will compare (1) COVID-19 and Influenza vaccines administered at Day 0 + COVID-19 Booster at a 3-month interval, (2) COVID-19 vaccine administered at Day 0 and Influenza vaccine administered at Day 28 + COVID-19 Booster at a 3-month interval, (3) COVID-19 and Influenza vaccines administered at Day 0 + COVID-19 Booster at a 6-month interval, and (4) COVID-19 vaccine administered at Day 0 and Influenza vaccine administered at Day 28 + COVID-19 Booster at a 6-month interval to see if median neutralization capacity of patient sera is non-inferior in the co- vs. sequential administration arms at 1-month after the initial COVID-19 booster and superior in the 3-month interval arms vs. the 6-month interval arms at 12 months after the initial COVID-19 booster. These outcomes will also be compared at 2-months for question 1 and 6-months for question 2. People living with immunocompromising conditions who take part in the trial will have blood samples drawn to verify immune response, be monitored for changes in clinical events and therapies, and complete questionnaires to verify adverse effects, quality of life and economic impact.

This will be a prospective single-center interventional trial to compare the outcomes of HIV-positive heart transplant recipients by the HIV status of the donor; HIV-positive vs. HIV-negative and learn whether heart organ transplantation from HIV+ deceased donors is as safe and effective in HIV+ recipients as transplants from HIV- deceased donors. Patient will undergo standard evaluation for eligibility of transplantation by the primary heart transplant team. If patient meets eligibility criteria, they will be informed about the study and consent will be obtained. Informed consent will be obtained in a private clinic or inpatient hospital room in a confidential setting. HIV-positive or HIV-negative offers will be made by Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) (serving as a means of "natural randomization" and this information will also be collected, along with the information regarding any information for primary offer declines from the patients as well as other clinical indications to decline an organ offer. As a result of this, there will be two main groups in the study participants that will undergo analysis: 1. patients/recipients that are HIV+ who receive an organ from an HIV+ donor (HIV D+/R+ group) 2. patients/recipients that are HIV+ who receive an organ from an HIV negative donor (HIV D-/R+ group) Only study participants will be able to receive organ offers from both HIV-positive and HIV-negative organ donors whichever is available first regardless of HIV status. This is the only study intervention. Baseline visit parameters will be obtained during a routine heart transplant visit. There will be no additional procedures or blood collection after the baseline study visit. Study data will be collected from chart review of routine post-transplant follow-up visits at weeks 52 (1 year), 104 (2 years), and 152 (3 years) after the transplant.

This phase II trial studies how well elotuzumab works when given with lenalidomide as maintenance therapy after transplant in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who underwent transplant using their own stem cells (autologous transplant). Maintenance therapy is treatment that is given to help keep cancer from coming back after it has disappeared following the initial treatment. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as elotuzumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Adding elotuzumab to standard maintenance therapy with lenalidomide may work better in treating patients with multiple myeloma who have undergone transplant.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Transplant Recipient clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Transplant Recipient clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Transplant Recipient trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Transplant Recipient is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Transplant Recipient medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
