Cell Therapy and Stem Cell Transplant Sample Registry

We are collecting blood and optionally stool, bone marrow or tissue samples from patients who received cell therapy or a stem cell transplant to treat cancer. This will help understand how the immune system recovers after cell therapy or stem cell transplant and how it may relate to patient outcomes.

ALTE22C1 (Post-AL Treatment, Patients with DS)

To compare the prevalence, severity, and timing of chronic health conditions (CHC) in a cohort of patients with DS-AL (Down Syndrome Acute Leukemia) with age-comparable DS individuals that have no cancer history. Our secondary objectives will compare NP (Neuro-Psychological) and health-related quality of life outcomes in survivors of DS-AL compared with age-comparable DS individuals with no cancer history, and will identify risk determinants of CHC and NP late effects among survivors of DS-AL.

AML Patient and Caregiver Needs Assessment Study

No guidelines or interventions for patients and their family caregivers exist to support patient adherence to a new medication (venetoclax) and their quality of life. Our research team seeks to understand the real experience and care needs of patients and their family caregivers with the new AML treatment. With the information we learn from this study, we will be able to develop an effective support program for patients with AML and their family caregivers to manage their symptoms at home and improve their quality of life.

Multi-Center Randomized Controlled Phase II Trial of Exercise to Treat Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN)

Purpose:This is a two-arm preliminary efficacy RCT in 120 participants testing a 6-week home-based walking and progressive resistance exercise program (EXCAP©®) vs. standard care on CIPN, interoception, and inflammation. Participants: This study will enroll 120 participants receiving neurotoxic chemotherapy or have completed neurotoxic chemotherapy in the past nine months (i.e., taxane-, platinum-, vinca alkaloid-, epothilone-, or proteasome inhibitor-based chemotherapy). Procedures (methods): Participants will complete questionnaires, clinical assessments, and a blood draw at two time points: pre-intervention (week 0, T1) and post-intervention (approximately week 6, T2).
