HLA-Mismatched Unrelated Donor Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation With Reduced Dose Post Transplantation Cyclophosphamide GvHD Prophylaxis

Launched by CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL BLOOD AND MARROW TRANSPLANT RESEARCH · Aug 14, 2023

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a new way to help patients with blood cancers, such as leukemia and lymphoma, by using stem cells from unrelated donors who have a different tissue type. The main goal is to see if a lower dose of medication called cyclophosphamide, given after the transplant, can help reduce infections and still protect against a condition called Graft Versus Host Disease (GvHD), where the donated cells attack the patient's body.

To participate, you need to be between 18 and 65 years old and have a specific type of blood cancer in remission, meaning the disease is not currently active. You also need to be willing to follow the study's requirements and have a suitable unrelated donor available. If you join the study, you can expect to receive the stem cell transplant and be monitored closely for any side effects or complications. This trial is currently recruiting participants, so if you meet the criteria and are interested, it could be a chance to access a new treatment option.
