Consuelo Wilkins, MD, MSCI, Senior Vice President for Health Equity and Inclusive Excellence for Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) and Senior Associate Dean for Health Equity and Inclusive Excellence for Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, always knew she wanted to be a physician. "Health equity was built into everything I did, even if I didn’t know it or recognize it at the time," Wilkins said. "I have always learned and believed that people are the same — everyone deserves to be healthy, and everyone should have the best opportunities to take care of themselves and their families."

Vanderbilt was the lead site for an NIH-funded, phase 2, multicenter influenza vaccine study in pediatric allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) recipients that may lead to a change in the current flu vaccine recommendations in this vulnerable population. Natasha Halasa, MD, MPH and colleagues recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine, that two doses of high-dose trivalent flu vaccine resulted in higher amounts of influenza-specific antibodies than two doses of standard dose quadrivalent vaccine.

Study of Selinexor in Combination With Ruxolitinib in Myelofibrosis

Multiple Cancer Types

This is a global, multicenter Phase 1/3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of
selinexor plus ruxolitinib in JAK inhibitor (JAKi) treatment-nave myelofibrosis (MF)
participants. The study will be conducted in two phases: Phase 1 (open-label) and Phase 3
(double-blind). Phase 1 (enrollment completed) was an open-label evaluation of the safety and
recommended dose (RD) of selinexor in combination with ruxolitinib and included a dose
escalation using a standard 3+3 design (Phase 1a) and a dose expansion part (Phase 1b). In
Phase 3, JAKi treatment-nave MF participants are enrolled in 2:1 ratio to receive the
combination therapy of selinexor + ruxolitinib or the combination of placebo + ruxolitinib.

Vorinostat in Preventing Graft Versus Host Disease in Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults Undergoing Blood and Bone Marrow Transplant

Multiple Cancer Types

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of vorinostat in preventing graft versus host disease in children, adolescents, and young adults who are undergoing unrelated donor blood and bone marrow transplant. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells, called graft-versus-host disease. During this process, chemicals (called cytokines) are released that may damage certain body tissues, including the gut, liver and skin. Vorinostat may be an effective treatment for graft-versus-host disease caused by a bone marrow transplant.

Identifying Best Approach in Improving Quality of Life and Survival after a Donor Stem Cell Transplant in Older, Medically Infirm, or Frail Patients with Blood Diseases

Hematologic

This phase II/III trial studies the best approach in improving quality of life and survival after a donor stem cell transplant in older, weak, or frail patients with blood diseases. Patients who have undergone a transplant often experience increases in disease and death. One approach, supportive and palliative care (SPC), focuses on relieving symptoms of stress from serious illness and care through physical, cultural, psychological, social, spiritual, and ethical aspects. While a second approach, clinical management of comorbidities (CMC) focuses on managing multiple diseases, other than cancer, such as heart or lung diseases through physical exercise, strength training, stress reduction, medication management, dietary recommendations, and education. Giving SPC, CMC, or a combination of both may work better in improving quality of life and survival after a donor stem cell transplant compared to standard of care in patients with blood diseases.
