There are 17 clinical trials
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor, imatinib mesylate (Gleevec ) in reducing peripheral blood eosinophilia in patients with the myeloid form of hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES). Patients with the hypereosinophilic syndrome who meet a set of criteria designed to select patients with the myeloid form of the disease, as well as patients without myeloid disease who are refractory to standard therapy for HES, will be admitted on this protocol. A thorough clinical evaluation will be performed with emphasis on potential sequelae of eosinophil-mediated tissue damage. A baseline bone marrow will be obtained to exclude leukemia or lymphoma and to assess the degree and nature of eosinophilopoiesis. Bone marrow, blood cells and/or serum will also be collected to test for the presence of a recently described mutation that is associated with imatinib-responsiveness in HES, and to provide reagents (such as DNA, RNA, and specific antibodies) and for use in the laboratory to address issues related to the mechanism of action of imatinib mesylate in HES. Imatinib mesylate will be initiated at a dose of 400 mg daily, the FDA-approved dose for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia. In patients who demonstrate a complete clinical and hematologic response to imatinib therapy and who do not have life-threatening disease, the dose will be decreased gradually to 100mg daily and then discontinued. In order to minimize bone marrow suppression, other myelosuppressive agents will be tapered and discontinued during the first week of therapy with imatinib mesylate. Complete blood counts will be performed weekly for the first month and biweekly thereafter. Clinical assessments will be performed every three months to assess progression of end organ damage. In patients who demonstrate a complete clinical and hematologic response to imatinib therapy and who do not have life-threatening disease, the dose will be decreased gradually to 100 mg daily and then discontinued. In the event of clinical, hematologic or molecular relapse during the taper, the imatinib dose will be increased to a maximum of 600 mg daily to achieve a second remission. Laboratory monitoring will be performed as above except for molecular monitoring which will be monitored monthly if drug is discontinued or molecular relapse occurs. Once a stable dosing regimen is achieved for greater than or equal to 6 months in subjects who have undergone dose descalation or greater than or equal to 2 years in subjects receiving 300-400 mg of imatinib daily who did not qualify for dose de-escalation, the frequency of NIH visits and end organ assessments will be decreased to 6 months, with molecular monitoring every 3 months and monthly routine laboratory assessments.

Mastocytosis is a disorder characterized by presence of excessive numbers of mast cells in skin, bone marrow and internal organs. It can affect both children and adults, males and females and individuals from all ethnic backgrounds, although precise demographic information about the affected populations is not available as it is a rare disorder. Mastocytosis in children is generally limited to the skin and follows a self limited course, while it is a disorder of the hematopoietic stem cell associated with somatic mutations of the c-kit gene in most patients with adult-onset of disease. There is no known curative therapy for most patients with systemic mastocytosis. Recent research studies identified several subtypes of disease with distinct clinical and pathologic features, however, a precise understanding of the incidence as well as molecular pathology of different disease subtypes is lacking. This study aims to examine molecular and cellular pathological aspects of disease in patients with mastocytosis and correlate findings with clinical presentation and prognosis. Patients will undergo a routine history and physical examination, and diagnostic tests will be ordered as dictated by each patient's clinical presentation. Blood and bone marrow will be obtained for diagnostic and research purposes. Genetic analysis of the c-kit gene regulating mast cell growth and differentiation will be performed. It is hoped that findings obtained from this study will help to design novel therapies for mastocytosis and other disorders in which mast cells play a critical role.

Description: The proportion of responses for the purposes of the decision rule will be calculated out of all eligible patients who receive any treatment. Assuming the number of responses is binomially distributed, 95% binomial confidence intervals will also be calculated for the estimate of the proportion of responses.
Measure: Overall response, defined as the number of patients who achieve any response according to disease type in the first 6 courses of treatment Time: Up to 6 monthsDescription: Frequency and severity of adverse events will be collected and summarized by descriptive statistics. The maximum grade for each type of toxicity will be recorded for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine toxicity patterns for each of the cohorts as well as across cohorts. In addition, all adverse event data that is graded as 3, 4, or 5 will be reviewed and classified as either "unrelated" or "unlikely to be related" to study treatment in the event of an actual relationship developing.
Measure: Incidence of toxicity, defined as adverse events that are classified as either possibly, probably, or definitely related to study treatment per National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 Time: Up to 30 days after last dose of study drugDescription: Collected and summarized by descriptive statistics. In addition, the proportion of patients who go off treatment due to adverse reactions or even those who refuse further treatment for lesser toxicities that inhibit their willingness to continue participation on the trial will be captured.

People with indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM) make too many mast cells. This causes pain, tiredness, digestive problems, and other symptoms. Researchers think the drug sarilumab could help. Objective: To see if sarilumab is a safe and effective treatment for people with ISM. Eligibility: Adults ages 18-75 with ISM who are enrolled in NIH study 02-I-0277 Design: Participants will be screened with: - Physical exam - Medical history - Blood and urine tests - Questionnaires - Bone marrow removed by a needle inserted into the hip bone - Ultrasound of the abdomen - Photographs of the skin Participants will repeat some screening tests at study visits. Participants will have a baseline visit in the hospital for 3 days. They will: - Be assigned to get either the study drug or a placebo. They will not know which one they get. - Have a skin punch biopsy: An instrument will remove a small piece of skin. - Get their first drug dose injected under their skin Participants will keep a side effect and medication diary during the study. Participants will visit the clinic to get a drug dose every 2 weeks, for a total of 8 doses. Participants will have a visit 2 weeks after their final dose. It will last up to 2 days. Participants will have another visit 12 weeks later. Participants may then continue this study for 1 more year. Those who continue will get sarilumab, even if they previously got the placebo, every 2 weeks. They will have visits every 6 weeks, and then every 3 months.
