Hematological Neoplasms

Background: Blood cancers (such as leukemias) can be hard to treat, especially if they have mutations in the TP53 or RAS genes. These mutations can cause the cancer cells to create substances called neoepitopes. Researchers want to test a method of treating blood cancers by altering a person s T cells (a type of immune cell) to target neoepitopes. Objective: To test the use of neoepitope-specific T cells in people with blood cancers Eligibility: People aged 18 to 75 years with any of 9 blood cancers. Design: Participants will have a bone marrow biopsy: A sample of soft tissue will be removed from inside a pelvic bone. This is needed to confirm their diagnosis and the TP53 and RAS mutations in their cancer cells. They will also have a skin biopsy to look for these mutations in other tissue. Participants will undergo apheresis: Blood will be taken from their body through a vein. The blood will pass through a machine that separates out the T cells. The remaining blood will be returned to the body through a different vein. The T cells will be grown to become neoepitope-specific T cells. Participants receive drugs for 3 days to prepare their body for the treatment. The modified T cells will be given through a tube inserted into a vein. Participants will need to remain in the clinic at least 7 days after treatment. Participants will have 8 follow-up visits in the first year after treatment. They will have 6 more visits over the next 4 years. Long-term follow-up will go on for 10 more years.

The goal of this clinical trial\] is to study the effectiveness of Virtual Reality (VR) in reducing pain and anxiety during painful procedures for patients with hematological malignancies The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: Does VR effectively reduce pain during painful procedures for patients with hematological malignancies ? Does VR effectively reduce anxiety during painful procedures for patients with hematological malignancies ? Interventional group (intra-group comparaison): This design allows each patient to act as his own control.: The intervention consists of a complete sequence involving three phases: Period 1 (standard care), a washout period of at least seven days, and Period 2 (VR session). External control group (inter-group comparaison): Patients will be assigned to the intervention group first, and then a matching external control patient will be selected based on age and type of procedure.

The investigators' purpose was to assess the feasibility of dosage individualization of the commonly used antineoplastic drugs and anti-infective drugs in children with hematoplastic disease.
