Precision dosing could make stem cell transplants safer for Non-Cancer patients
NCT ID NCT05501756
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial investigates whether giving a personalized dose of alemtuzumab (a drug that calms the immune system) before a stem cell transplant can improve outcomes for people with non-malignant diseases. Researchers aim to find the right dose that balances effectiveness and safety. About 60 participants will receive a tailored dose, and the study will measure whether drug levels in the blood hit a target range on transplant day.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Alemtuzumab (Campath)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a safer, more effective way to prepare patients for stem cell transplants, reducing complications and improving recovery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial, so results may not apply to everyone. Alemtuzumab can weaken the immune system, increasing infection risk.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients who are undergoing allogeneic HCT at CCHMC with an alemtuzumab-containing preparative regimen for treatment of a non-malignant disease are eligible. * For the first 7 patients, patients must have a 10/10 HLA matched related or unrelated stem cell donor, or be receiving a CD34+ selected stem cell product. After the first 7 patients, any donor match may be allowed after data review by the BMT clinicians and the PI. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with a history of anaphylaxis to alemtuzumab. * Patients who have previously received alemtuzumab and have not cleared alemtuzumab prior to the start of the preparative regimen. * Life expectancy less than 4 weeks. * Patients receiving dialysis or plasmapheresis at the time of the start of the conditioning regimen. * Failure to sign informed consent and/or assent, or inability to undergo informed consent process. * It is not medically advisable to obtain the specimens necessary for this study. * Not able to tolerate subcutaneous dosing (patients with severe skin conditions). * Patients with cancer. * Patients whose clinical condition suggest there may be inability to successfully perform the PK modeling such as, but not limited to, active flaring of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in which excessive lymphoproliferation may significantly alter the target-mediated clearance of alemtuzumab and prevent observation of non-target mediated clearance which is needed for robust modeling. * Patients whose pre-alemtuzumab level reveals an interfering substance which prevents accurate measurement of alemtuzumab.
