Lung and bone marrow transplant for lung and blood failure
This Phase 1/2 study tests a special lung-and-bone-marrow transplant approach for people with severe lung disease and bone marrow failure (low blood counts). The goal is to see if the treatment is safe and whether it can improve outcomes when standard long-term immune-suppressing medicines are a poor fit.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–60 - NCT03612310Recruiting
Study uses stem cells to model genetic diseases
This study looks at how to create laboratory models of genetic diseases using stem cells made from people’s cells. It may help researchers understand disease causes and how treatments could work, using genetic patients (and some non-patient controls).
Edinburgh, MidlothianAges 1–120 - NCT03645486Recruiting
Gene therapy for chronic granulomatous disease (CGD)
This trial tests a lentiviral gene therapy to improve immune function in people with CGD, a condition where the body can’t fight certain infections well. It may help by addressing the underlying genetic problem, but it also requires a procedure to collect immune cells and special “conditioning” medicines beforehand.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT03665675RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Immune cell treatment to control CMV or adenovirus after transplant
This early-phase study tests donor immune cells made to recognize CMV (a virus) or adenovirus, given to help control virus reactivation after a solid organ or bone marrow transplant. It may help reduce ongoing or worsening viral infection when standard antiviral medicines are hard to tolerate or not working well.
Columbus, OhioAges 1–85 - NCT03667599Recruiting
Home care program after your stem cell transplant
This study tests whether extra home-based medical support after a stem cell transplant can help patients during recovery. If you’re eligible, a trained care team will support you at home so you’re safer and better managed after discharge.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–80 - NCT03717623RecruitingPhase 4
Study blood levels of posaconazole in adults
This study looks at how much posaconazole stays in your body while you receive it to prevent fungal infections during chemotherapy or after a stem cell transplant. Your care team will use standard posaconazole treatment and may take extra blood samples to understand its levels.
Parkville, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT03793517RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Decitabine plus chemotherapy before stem cell transplant for high-risk leukemia
This trial studies whether adding decitabine plus chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant can better control “minimal residual disease” (very small amounts of leukemia left behind) in certain high-risk acute leukemia types. It may help reduce the chance of the leukemia coming back after transplant.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–55 - NCT03805477RecruitingPhase 2
Nintedanib for lung scarring after bone marrow transplant
This trial tests nintedanib to slow or improve bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), a type of lung scarring, after a hematopoietic stem cell transplant. You may be considered if your breathing tests and scans show BOS, and if active infections and certain health risks are ruled out.
RiyadhAges 18 years+ - NCT03818334RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Cyclophosphamide after transplant for blood cancer without sibling donor
This trial studies giving cyclophosphamide after a stem cell transplant when there is no matched sibling donor, but a well-matched unrelated donor is available. It aims to improve outcomes for people with blood cancers undergoing this transplant.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 1–75 - NCT03826433RecruitingPhase 1
Study stem cell treatment for worsening hepatitis B cirrhosis
This Phase 1 study tests a stem cell product to see if it is safe and how it affects people with worsening hepatitis B-related cirrhosis. It may help researchers understand whether the treatment could improve liver function in this stage of illness.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–60 - NCT03850366RecruitingPhase 2
Haploidentical stem cell transplant with two post-transplant medicines
This trial tests a way to treat certain blood cancers using a stem cell transplant from a partially matched (haploidentical) donor. It aims to make the transplant safer and reduce the chance of the immune reaction that can follow transplant, using post-transplant cyclophosphamide and bortezomib.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–65 - NCT03909412RecruitingPhase 1
Carfilzomib chemo to help you collect stem cells for transplant
This Phase 1 study tests a carfilzomib-based treatment plan to help people with multiple myeloma collect enough stem cells for an autologous (using your own) stem cell transplant. It’s mainly about whether this mobilization approach works and is safe for you.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT03964506RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Hyperbaric oxygen plus donor stem cell transplant for blood cancers
This early-phase trial studies whether breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, along with a donor stem cell transplant, can improve outcomes for certain blood cancers. It may help by supporting the body during transplant and recovery, but it is still being tested for safety and effectiveness.
