Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05319353RecruitingPhase 3
Maribavir for kids with CMV after transplant
This Phase 3 trial tests maribavir (an anti-CMV medicine) in children and teens who get CMV infection after a stem cell or solid organ transplant. It aims to see whether the drug is safe and well-tolerated, and whether it can reduce the virus in the body.
Wilmington, DelawareAges Up to 17 years - NCT05302583Recruiting
Aromatherapy inhaler for stress during stem cell transplant
This trial tests whether using a lavender or peppermint aromatherapy inhaler can reduce distress (stress or discomfort) for adults during stem cell transplant care. It’s for people who are getting chemotherapy before the transplant and who do not have allergies to those essential oils.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05243797RecruitingPhase 3
Teclistamab plus lenalidomide maintenance after transplant
This trial tests whether adding teclistamab to lenalidomide (or using teclistamab alone) helps keep newly diagnosed multiple myeloma from coming back after an autologous stem cell transplant. It’s comparing these options to lenalidomide alone as long-term maintenance.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT01629017Recruiting
Long-term follow-up after a stem cell transplant
This study looks at the long-term health effects of hematopoietic (blood-forming) stem cell transplants. It may help doctors better understand and manage late side effects for children and teens after transplant.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges Up to 18 years - NCT05180097RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy with stem cell transplant for relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma
This Phase 2 trial tests whether pembrolizumab plus brentuximab works better than standard chemotherapy followed by an autologous stem cell transplant for people whose classic Hodgkin lymphoma has come back or did not respond. It may help by improving cancer control before and around stem cell transplant and by comparing outcomes between the two treatment approaches.
Concord, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT05088226RecruitingPhase 2
Ruxolitinib plus chidamide before transplant for high-risk leukemia
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding two medicines (ruxolitinib and chidamide) to a “conditioning regimen” before an allogeneic stem cell transplant improves outcomes for people with high-risk B-cell ALL. It may help prepare the body for transplant and reduce the chance of leukemia coming back.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 12–65 - NCT05052957RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell rescue for glioblastoma
This trial tests whether using your own blood stem cells to support high-dose chemotherapy can help treat newly diagnosed glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. It aims to improve outcomes for patients whose tumors have a specific genetic marker (unmethylated MGMT) and who have had surgery.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT02129543Recruiting
Study immune recovery after stem cell or T-cell treatment
This study looks at how your immune system “rebuilds” after certain cell-based cancer treatments or stem cell transplants. It may help researchers better understand why immune recovery differs between people and how to improve protection against infections.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–75 - NCT04935684RecruitingPhase 2
Fecal transplant after bone marrow transplant to improve gut health
This Phase 2 study tests whether a fecal microbiota transplant (a processed transplant of gut bacteria) after an allogeneic bone marrow transplant is safe and helpful. Participants may benefit by improving recovery in the gut microbiome during the post-transplant period.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT04898790Recruiting
Testing ways to improve thinking after bone marrow transplant
This study looks at whether a physical activity program and related study measures can improve thinking and memory in older adults around the time of a stem cell transplant. If you qualify and participate, the team will compare outcomes between groups to see what approach works best.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 19 years+ - NCT04448184RecruitingPhase 3
Platelet transfusion strategy during stem cell transplant
This trial compares how platelets are given during a stem cell transplant to help prevent bleeding. It also watches for clotting risks, since platelets can affect both bleeding and clot formation.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT03500731RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
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 - NCT04628026RecruitingPhase 3
Venetoclax plus chemotherapy for new AML or high-risk MDS
This trial tests adding venetoclax to standard chemotherapy to help people with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk MDS (MDS-EB-2) live longer and reduce cancer activity. You may benefit if you’re eligible for intensive chemotherapy and meet specific blood, organ, and treatment timing requirements.
InnsbruckAges 18–75 - NCT04652908RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cell therapy given during pregnancy to repair spina bifida
This trial studies a cell-based treatment given during fetal surgery to help repair myelomeningocele (spina bifida) before birth. It aims to improve outcomes for the baby by supporting “in utero” repair, but you must meet strict pregnancy and health criteria to be considered.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 4 months–6 months - NCT04483206RecruitingPhase 1
