Do you have a kidney transplant? Have you been diagnosed with recurrent Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) or Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)? If so, this study may be of interest to you.
Do you have a blood cancer or have received a stem cell transplant and have been diagnosed with a respiratory infection? If so, you might be eligible to take part in a study to see if an experimental treatment is effective at reducing the severity of the respiratory infection.
Do you have leukemia, lymphoma, MDS, or MF and are preparing for a stem cell transplant from an unrelated donor? If so, you might be eligible to take part in a study that will look look at combinations of medicines given after a stem cell transplant and see how well the combinations work to prevent graft versus host disease and infection.
The purpose of this study to see if the drug ruxolitinib with the drugs tacrolimus and methotrexate given before and following a peripheral blood stem cell transplant will prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a serious complication of a stem cell transplant, better than the drugs post-transplant cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil.
Cyclophosphamide is a chemotherapy (chemo) drug often given after a transplant to prevent GvHD. We are doing this study to see if a lower dose of cyclophosphamide after transplant is safer, but just as effective. Cyclophosphamide can prevent GvHD, but it can also make you sick and more likely to get an infection. This study will look at how well a lower dose of cyclophosphamide works to reduce these side effects, while also preventing GvHD. This study does not include any new or untested drugs. The drugs and procedures in this study are standard for transplant.
We would like to learn about how people who apply for healthcare financial assistance experience the application process, including things that make the application process work well or that were challenging. At this time we are not able to offer interviews to people who applied to UNC or Duke, we are interested in hearing from people who applied to other programs (such as Atrium, Novant, Wake, Vidant, ECU, Cape Fear Health Net, Physicians Reach Out, or Project Access).
Have you been diagnosed with B-cell post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) after an organ transplant? Have you not yet received any type of treatment for this condition? Then you may be eligible for a study to look at the safety and effectiveness of tafasitamab and rituximab combination treatment for PTLD.
Have you been listed for kidney transplant at UNC? If so, you may be able to take part in a research study to help us learn how the process of waiting for a kidney transplant impacts you.
Have you been infected with COVID-19? Are you a solid organ transplant recipient? Have you or your child received a COVID-19 vaccine or are planning to receive one? If so, you may be eligible to participate in a research study that will assess your immune response to COVID-19 infection or vaccination over a 5 year period. We are looking for children and adults aged 7-95 years, and plan to collect blood every 2-6 months over the study period. (Compensation provided for the first year).
To understand the relationship between biomarkers (found in the blood) and health outcomes among adults diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma who are receiving a liver transplant.
