This Phase 2 study tests ways to lower the risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a serious complication after an allogeneic stem cell transplant from a matched donor. It is for people with acute leukemia or MDS who are going to receive intensive conditioning therapy, aiming to improve safety while keeping the transplant effective.
Tampa, FloridaAges 1–60 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT03383419RecruitingPhase 2
Hepatitis C–safe antiviral plan for heart transplant recipients
This Phase 2 trial tests giving newer hepatitis C medicines in a careful way to people getting a heart transplant who currently do not have hepatitis C in their blood. The goal is to lower hepatitis C infection risk from donated organs while keeping transplant outcomes safe.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT03802695RecruitingPhase 1
Orca-Q pill to help during stem cell transplant
This Phase 1 trial studies Orca-Q to see if it is safe and works when added around the time of an allogeneic (donor) stem cell transplant for certain blood cancers. If you qualify, the study may offer a new option for managing the transplant immune response.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 12–78 - NCT03845205Recruiting
Liver transplant timing study for alcohol-related liver disease
This study compares early versus standard liver transplant timing for people whose liver illness was caused by alcohol use. It looks at treatment outcomes to see which approach helps patients do better.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03719105RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Chemo plus immunotherapy with donor stem cell transplant for NK lymphoma
This early-phase study tests a combination treatment—chemo, immunotherapy, and a donor stem cell transplant—for certain aggressive NK/T-cell lymphomas. It may help patients who have advanced-stage disease by trying to improve long-term control of the cancer.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1–31 - NCT03746769RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing gastrin to improve results of islet cell transplant
This trial looks at whether adding gastrin can improve outcomes after an islet cell transplant for people with type 1 diabetes. It may help some participants achieve better blood sugar control, but it also requires close follow-up and immune-suppressing medications to protect the new cells.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–68 - NCT03850418RecruitingPhase 2
Azacitidine for blood chimerism changes after transplant
This Phase 2 study tests whether azacitidine can improve outcomes when donor blood “chimerism” starts dropping after an allogeneic stem cell transplant. It’s for people with AML, MDS, MPN, or CMML who are experiencing early warning signs in their blood counts after transplant but without clear relapse in the bone marrow.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–75 - NCT03555851Recruiting
Testing how post-transplant cyclophosphamide affects transplant outcomes
This study looks at whether giving a medicine called cyclophosphamide after a stem cell transplant helps work better and for whom. You may be eligible if you are planning a certain type of transplant and your team plans to give post-transplant cyclophosphamide.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT03653338RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Bone marrow transplant using donor blood to treat sickle cell
This trial tests a specific type of bone marrow transplant for people with sickle cell disease (or certain other blood disorders) who have had serious complications despite standard care. It aims to see if removing the patient’s immune cells and using a matched donor’s cells can improve outcomes and reduce complications.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 5–40 - NCT03587272RecruitingPhase 2
Sibling bone marrow transplant to reduce treatment side effects
This study tests a way to do a bone marrow (stem cell) transplant from an HLA-matched sibling in children with sickle cell disease, aiming to lower the risk of serious side effects. You may be considered if you have certain past sickle complications and your body can safely handle the transplant plan.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 2–25 - NCT03630211RecruitingPhase 2
Study of stem cell transplant for systemic sclerosis in youth
