Recruiting studies near Boston
- NCT07104799RecruitingPhase 1
Momelotinib before and after stem cell transplant for myelofibrosis

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06462365RecruitingPhase 1
Preventing GvHD after stem cell transplant for blood cancers
This trial tests a new way to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), a common complication after a stem cell transplant. It is for people with certain blood cancers who are getting a stem cell transplant from a half-matched family member or unrelated donor.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07249346RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing GVHD after stem cell transplant with three drugs
This trial tests a three-drug combination (cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus, and ruxolitinib) to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a stem cell transplant. It is for people with certain blood cancers who have a matched donor and can tolerate high-dose chemotherapy.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05855083RecruitingPhase 2
Narsoplimab for high-risk TMA after bone marrow transplant
This trial studies the medicine narsoplimab in children who develop a serious complication called HSCT-TMA after a bone marrow transplant. It aims to improve safety and effectiveness for high-risk cases where the condition is ongoing or causing organ problems.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 4 weeks–17 years - NCT06707493RecruitingPhase 2
Ivosidenib after stem cell transplant for IDH1-mutated AML

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - NCT06022939RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing chemo plus stem cell transplant to chemo alone for AL amyloidosis
This study tests whether adding a stem cell transplant to standard chemotherapy (Dara-VCD) works better than chemotherapy alone for people newly diagnosed with AL amyloidosis. It aims to find the best way to control the disease and improve outcomes.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04678401RecruitingPhase 1
Trial tests transplant using a half-matched donor for high-risk leukemia
This Phase 1 trial tests a special bone marrow transplant using a related “half-matched” donor (haploidentical), without a specific immune-suppressing medicine (“IS-free”). It’s for adults with certain high-risk AML or MDS to see if this approach can improve control of the disease while tracking safety.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - NCT03394365RecruitingPhase 3
Tabelecleucel for EBV-related lymphoma after transplant treatment failure
This trial tests tabelecleucel, an immune therapy, for people whose EBV-associated post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) did not respond to rituximab and/or chemotherapy. It may help your immune system better control EBV-driven lymphoma after a transplant.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT04024761RecruitingPhase 1
NK cell therapy for leukemia relapse after transplant
This Phase 1 study tests whether an infusion of special immune cells (NK cells) from a donor can help control leukemia or related blood cancers that come back or do not fully go away after a stem cell transplant. It also uses short chemotherapy to “make space” for the NK cells to work, and IL-2 to help them function.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 12 years+ - NCT06059391RecruitingPhase 2
Vaccine for stem cell donors to prevent CMV
This trial tests whether giving a CMV vaccine to stem cell donors can help protect recipients from CMV infection after transplant. It is for adults with specific blood cancers who are CMV-positive and have a matched related donor.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - NCT04098445Recruiting
Study of lung injury in children after stem cell transplant
This study follows children and teens who get a stem cell transplant to learn how lung problems develop over time. Your participation could help doctors better predict, prevent, and manage lung injury after transplant.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Up to 24 years - NCT04293562RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing chemotherapy options for newly diagnosed AML in young patients
This trial compares standard chemotherapy with newer drug combinations (CPX-351 and gilteritinib) for children and young adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a type of blood cancer. It aims to find which treatment works better and who might benefit from targeted therapy based on specific genetic changes (FLT3 mutations).
Boston, MassachusettsAges 6 months–21 years - NCT06138587RecruitingPhase 1
NK cell therapy after stem cell transplant for high-risk blood cancers
This trial tests whether giving specially trained natural killer (NK) cells after a stem cell transplant can help prevent relapse in people with high-risk blood cancers like AML, MDS, or MDS/MPN. You receive one infusion of these cells about a week after your transplant.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06941389Recruiting
Comparing stem cell transplant vs standard therapy for sickle cell disease
This study compares two treatment approaches for children with sickle cell anemia: a stem cell transplant from a matched family donor versus continuing regular disease-modifying medicines. It aims to see which treatment works better over time.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 3–20 - NCT06172296RecruitingPhase 3
Dinutuximab plus transplant for high-risk neuroblastoma
This trial tests adding a targeted drug called dinutuximab to standard chemotherapy, surgery, and a stem cell transplant for children and young adults with a new diagnosis of high-risk neuroblastoma. The goal is to see if this combination helps more patients stay in remission.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Up to 30 years - NCT06938867RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of SNIPR001 for stem cell transplant patients
This trial tests an oral treatment called SNIPR001 that targets a type of E. coli bacteria resistant to common antibiotics. It may help prevent infections during stem cell transplant recovery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03126916RecruitingPhase 3
Testing added therapy for high-risk neuroblastoma in children
This Phase 3 study tests whether adding either a targeted drug (lorlatinib) or a radioactive treatment (131I-MIBG) to intensive chemotherapy improves outcomes for children with high-risk neuroblastoma. It may help by aiming at tumor cells more directly alongside standard treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 12 months–30 years - NCT03509961RecruitingPhase 2
Reducing total body radiation for children with leukemia transplants
This study looks at whether some children and young adults with B-ALL can safely get a transplant without total body irradiation (TBI), based on special leukemia test results. It’s meant to help lower radiation-related risks while keeping leukemia control strong.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 1–25 - NCT06328127Recruiting
Positive psychology program for stem cell transplant survivors
This study tests a positive psychology program—simple exercises to help you feel better emotionally—for people who are about 3 months past a donor stem cell transplant. It's done over the phone, so you can join from home.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06494423Recruiting
Job support after stem cell transplant

CMV vaccine for stem cell transplant recipients
This trial tests a vaccine designed to boost immunity against CMV (a common virus) and prevent active CMV infection in people receiving a half-matched stem cell transplant. It may help protect you from CMV-related complications after transplant.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - NCT07358195RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Combined stem cell and kidney transplant from a relative

What taking part in a hematopoietic stem cell transplant study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
