Lower drug dose after transplant may cut infections without losing protection
NCT ID NCT06001385
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 18, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a lower dose of the drug cyclophosphamide, given after a stem cell transplant from a partially matched donor, can reduce serious infections in the first 100 days while still preventing graft-versus-host disease (a common complication where donor cells attack the patient's body). About 313 adults with various blood cancers will receive the reduced dose. The goal is to improve recovery without increasing the risk of the donor cells attacking the patient.

HIV-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy (ART) with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial. Patients with well controlled HIV are eligible provided resistance panels are negative, the patient is compliant with ART, and their disease remains well controlled. Donor Exclusion Criteria: 1. Donor unwilling or unable to donate. 2.

In patients receiving red blood cell or platelet transfusions, DSA evaluation must be performed or repeated post-transfusion and prior to donor mobilization and initiation of recipient preparative regimen.
