New hope for HIV patients with blood cancer: safer bone marrow transplants on the horizon?

NCT ID NCT05470491

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tests whether a combination of three drugs (cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and maraviroc) can safely prevent graft-versus-host disease after a half-matched bone marrow transplant in people living with HIV who also have a blood cancer. The trial involves 265 participants and has two phases: first to check safety, then to see if the drug combo works better than standard care. Participants will be hospitalized for about 6 weeks and followed for up to 5 years.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and maraviroc

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a safer way to perform bone marrow transplants in people with HIV, potentially improving cancer control and survival.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial (Phase I/II) with a small number of participants, so the new drug combo may not prove safer or more effective than standard care. There are also risks of serious side effects like graft-versus-host disease and infection.
