Can genes and drug levels predict transplant success?
NCT ID NCT03555851
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study is looking at how a person's genes and the amount of the drug cyclophosphamide in their body affect the risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a stem cell transplant. Researchers will study 120 transplant recipients and their donors. The goal is to find ways to better prevent GVHD while keeping the transplant's cancer-fighting effect.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- cyclophosphamide
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors personalize cyclophosphamide dosing to better prevent graft-versus-host disease while preserving the anti-cancer effect.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to changes in practice, and results may not apply to all transplant types.

Inclusion Criteria Recipients and donors must meet all of the following applicable inclusion criteria to participate in this study: 1. Informed consent and HIPAA authorization for release of personal health information signed by the subject. 2. Age ≥ 18 years at the time of consent. 3. Subject is scheduled as a recipient or respective donor (Donor consent/participation is not required for subjects undergoing matched unrelated donor HCT) for the following hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HCT) procedures using a non-myeloablative regimen at Levine Cancer Institute (LCI), and has been deemed a qualified candidate by his/her physician, per LCI medical standards: haplo-identical donor HCT, match related donor (MRD) HCT, matched unrelated donor (MUD) HCT. 4. Recipient only: Planned post-transplant cyclophosphamide 5. As determined by the enrolling physician, ability of the subject to understand and comply with study procedures for the entire length of the study Exclusion Criteria Subjects meeting any of the criteria below may not participate in the study: 1. Recipient only (applies only to haplo-identical and MRD HCT recipients; not required for MUD HCT recipients): Does not have a respective donor who is willing to sign informed consent for participation in this study. 2. Recipient only: Treatment with any investigational drug within 30 days prior to day -6 of treatment 3. Donor only (applies only to haplo-identical and MRD HCTs; donor participation is not required for MUD HCTs): Does not have a respective recipient who is willing to sign informed consent for participation in this study.
