  • In all patients that might become considered for intensive treatment, the AML diagnosis should be based on morphologic and immunophenotypic features of bone marrow aspirates as well as on genetic characteristics of the leukemic blasts. (cancercentrum.se)
  • MSCs are reported to contribute both to the inflammation initiation and to its resolution via complex cross talk with immune cells, most importantly macrophages [ 1 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a unique population of T lymphocytes that lies at the interface between the innate and adaptive immune systems, and they are important mediators of immune responses and tumor surveillance. (aacrjournals.org)
  • The increased understanding of immune tolerance and allogeneic antileukemic immune reactivity has led several investigators to develop optimized conditioning protocols and new strategies to manipulate the effector cells either within the graft or in vivo . (haematologica.org)
  • As stated above, the fine tuning of the allogeneic immune response by T-cell depletion or pharmacological means represents the second important pillar in the development of optimized transplantation protocols. (haematologica.org)
  • One way to achieve this is to genetically modify immune cells, mainly T cells and recently also natural killer (NK) cells, to express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs). (nature.com)
  • Furthermore, the so-called adapter CARs have been developed by splitting antigen recognition and CAR-immune cell activation. (nature.com)
  • The addition of separate adapter molecules (AMs) specific for tumor antigens and CAR-immune cells targeting these AMs allows a more precise and temporally limited therapy. (nature.com)
  • Prior to infusion of the CAR-modified immune cells, lymphodepletion is performed in most therapeutic settings to allow efficient cell engraftment [ 10 ]. (nature.com)
  • The identification of cytogenetic, molecular, and clinical factors impacting on outcome at acute myeloid leukemia (AML) diagnosis improved risk stratification [ 1 , 2 ]. (oncotarget.com)
  • Areas related to clinical and experimental transplantation are also of interest. (lidsen.com)
  • In addition, the clinical use of differentiated or undifferentiated stem cell secretomes provides an attractive, less invasive, safer alternative (minimising neoplasia, reducing immunological risks) to many whole mesenchymal stem cell treatments. (micregen.com)
  • Leading clinical symptoms of GATA2 deficiency syndromes are immunodeficiency, infections (mainly nontuberculous mycobacteria and human papillomavirus), predisposition to myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML), pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) and primary lymphedema. (healthbooktimes.org)
  • If there is no clinical evidence of a change in cardiovascular function from the time of pre-transplantation ECHO (per FACT standards should be performed within 6 weeks of stem cell infusion), then there is no need to repeat it. (survivornet.com)

  • Whilst the wider medical community continued to focus on transplanting whole mesenchymal stem cells, his research into stem cell secretomes progressed relatively undetected for several years. (micregen.com)
  • In the study, patients with active, relapsed, refractory AML are randomized 1:1 to receive either apamistamab conditioning therapy and allogeneic HCT or conventional care. (onclive.com)
  • A Multicenter, Pivotal Phase 3 Study of Iomab-B Prior to Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Versus Conventional Care in Older Subjects With Active, Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (SIERRA) Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn. (mayo.edu)
  • The open-label, single-cohort, multicenter phase II REACH1 study accrued patients aged ≥12 years old who had received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and developed grade 2 to 4 steroid-refractory aGVHD. (targetedonc.com)
  • The workup for AML includes blood tests, bone marrow aspiration and biopsy (the definitive diagnostic tests), and analysis of genetic abnormalities. (medscape.com)
  • Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy with cytogenetic studies are required in most, but not all, patients. (medscape.com)

  • The FLAMSA protocol is most often used as an induction part of a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen for patients eligible to undergo an allogeneic stem cell transplant. (wikipedia.org)
  • The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of Iomab-B, in conjunction with a Reduced Intensity Conditioning (RIC) regimen and protocol-specified allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT), versus Conventional Care. (mayo.edu)
  • The 5-year probability of overall survival (OS) after allogeneic HCT was estimated to be 56% (95% confidence interval[CI], 55%- 57%) for patients receiving a transplant while in CR, and 22% (95% CI, 21%-23%) for those who were experiencing active disease. (apbmt.org)
