Infection Prophylaxis and Management in Treating Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Infection in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies Previously Treated With Donor Stem Cell Transplant

RATIONALE: Infection prophylaxis and management may help prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection caused by a stem cell transplant. PURPOSE:This clinical trial studies infection prophylaxis and management in treating cytomegalovirus infection in patients with hematologic malignancies previously treated with donor stem cell transplant.

(PATHFINDER) Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Avapritinib (BLU-285), A Selective KIT Mutation-targeted Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor, in Patients With Advanced Systemic Mastocytosis

This is an open-label, single arm, Phase 2 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of avapritinib (BLU-285) in patients with advanced systemic mastocytosis (AdvSM), including patients with aggressive SM (ASM), SM with associated hematologic neoplasm (SM-AHN), and mast cell leukemia (MCL)

Naive T Cell Depletion for Preventing Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease in Children and Young Adults With Blood Cancers Undergoing Donor Stem Cell Transplant

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.

Depletion of CD45RA Positive Naive T Cells for the Prevention of Graft Versus Host Disease in Older Patients Undergoing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation for Acute Leukemia or Myelodysplastic Syndrome

This phase II trial tests how well removing CD45RA positive naive T cells works to prevent graft versus host disease in older patients undergoing standard of care allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for the treatment of acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is when healthy cells are collected from a donor and infused into a patient to help the patient's bone marrow make more healthy cells and platelets and help destroy any remaining cancer cells. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a stem cell transplant helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can attack the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease). Removing the T cells from the donor cells before the transplant may stop this from happening. Giving CD45RA positive naive T cell depleted allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplant may prevent graft versus host disease while treating acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome in older adults.
