This trial tests whether removing certain immune cells (T cells) from the donor transplant can lower the risk of chronic graft-versus-host disease (long-term immune attack after transplant) in children and young adults with blood cancers. If you qualify, it may help improve transplant outcomes while tracking safety and side effects.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 6 months–26 years - NCT05436418RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Lower-dose transplant medicines to prevent graft-versus-host disease
This early-phase study tests a lower dose of cyclophosphamide given after a stem cell transplant to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). It also uses sirolimus and mycophenolate to improve how well the donor immune system accepts the transplant, aiming to reduce side effects while keeping protection against GVHD.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 12–120 - NCT06959771RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for CD40L deficiency (Hyper-IgM syndrome) - single patient study
This trial tests a new gene therapy that uses a person's own blood stem cells and T cells, which are corrected with a gene-editing tool called base editing. It is designed for people with a specific CD40L gene mutation who also have liver problems and portal hypertension. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve their immune system and liver health.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 37–120 - NCT03000244Recruiting
Long-term follow-up after stem cell or gene therapy
This study checks how people do long-term after stem cell transplant, cellular therapy, or gene therapy. It may help doctors track longer-term health effects and recovery and improve future care.

Advance care planning talks for young transplant patients
This study tests a structured set of conversations about future medical care (advance care planning) for adolescents and young adults who are preparing for a stem cell transplant. It also involves a caregiver (and the care team) to help ensure the discussions are understood, documented, and completed at the right times.
