What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial investigates whether giving a reduced dose of the drug cyclophosphamide after a half-matched stem cell transplant can prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) while causing fewer side effects. The standard dose often leads to infections and slow immune recovery. Researchers will give 20 adults with blood cancers half the usual dose and monitor how well it controls GVHD and how quickly their immune system bounces back.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
a lower dose of the drug cyclophosphamide (25 mg/kg/day) given on days 3 and 4 after transplant
What this could lead to
If successful, this could make half-matched stem cell transplants safer by reducing infections and helping the immune system recover faster.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-arm trial with only 20 participants and no comparison group. The lower dose may turn out to be less effective at preventing graft-versus-host disease.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: - * Patients age ≥ 18 years * ECOG performance score of 0 or 1 Exclusion Criteria: - * Presence of an active uncontrolled infection defined as hemodynamic instability attributable to sepsis or new symptoms, worsening physical signs, or radiographic findings attributable to infection. * Any medical or psychiatric illness which precludes the participant from giving informed consent. * Organ function criteria: Serious organ dysfunctions: * Serious cardiac dysfunction: Left ventricular ejection fraction \< 45%; no uncontrolled arrhythmias or symptomatic cardiac disease. * Serious pulmonary organ dysfunction: Symptomatic pulmonary disease; forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) =\< 50% of predicted (corrected for haemoglobin). * Serious renal dysfunction: Measured serum creatinine clearance =\< 60 mL/min. * Serious Hepatic dysfunction: Total serum bilirubin more than twice upper normal limit or Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) more than 3-fold higher than laboratory upper normal limits.
