Half-Matched stem cell transplant offers hope for blood cancer patients
NCT ID NCT03850366
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a stem cell transplant using a half-matched (haploidentical) donor for people with blood cancers who don't have a fully matched donor. The approach uses chemotherapy and radiation before transplant, plus drugs like cyclophosphamide and bortezomib after to prevent graft-versus-host disease (a complication where donor cells attack the body). The main goal is to see how well the new stem cells take hold (engraftment) in 15 participants aged 18-65.

Inclusion Criteria: * 18-65 years old patient lacking a matched related donor or unrelated donor but have a related haploidentical donor (\</= 7/8 allele match at the A, B, C, DR loci with a minimum match of 5/10 is required) is identified * Candidate for stem cell transplant in a malignant hematological condition * Karnofsky Performance Scale 0-1 * Available donor able to undergo a Peripheral blood stem cells collection * Bilirubin \</= 1.5 mg/dl , aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \</= 200 IU/ml for adults. * Serum creatinine clearance \>/=60 ml/min (calculated with Cockroft-Gault formula) * Diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) \>/= 45% predicted corrected for hemoglobin. * Left ventricle ejection fraction \> 40%. * Patient or patient's legal representative, parent(s) or guardian should provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Adult who has a suitable related or unrelated donor or cord units available for transplant. Suitable donors include 8/8 (HLA-A,B,C and DR, with all loci high-resolution typing) or 7/8 related or unrelated donor available within 42 days of search initiation * HIV positive; active hepatitis B or C * Patients with active uncontrolled infections. * Liver cirrhosis * Uncontrolled central nervous system involvement by tumor cells * Positive Beta Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) test in a woman with child bearing potential defined as not post-menopausal for 12 months or no previous surgical sterilization. * Inability to comply with medical therapy or follow-up
