Bone marrow transplant prep for children with non-cancer blood disorders
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This early-stage study tests a specific chemotherapy “conditioning” regimen to prepare the body for a bone marrow transplant in children with certain non-cancer blood or immune conditions. It may help the transplant work better, but it also carries risks from the chemotherapy and transplant process.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be under age 21
- Have a non-cancer diagnosis (blood/immune problem), such as specific hemoglobin disorders
- Have a close tissue match for the donor bone marrow/umbilical cord blood (about 8/8 match, or 5–8/8 for cord blood)
- Have enough organ function (lungs, kidneys, liver, and others) based on lab/medical tests
- Not be pregnant or breastfeeding, and have a negative pregnancy test if applicable

This early-phase study tests a safer “lighter” conditioning chemo plan before a bone marrow transplant for people with non-cancer blood and immune disorders. It aims to reduce transplant risk while using donor marrow that does not match perfectly in the HLA type.
This trial tests a way to lower the risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a common complication after a bone marrow transplant, by removing certain immune cells from the donor's stem cells before giving them to the patient. It is for young children with non-cancerous blood or immune diseases who need a transplant.
This trial tests a combination of four medicines (cyclophosphamide, abatacept, vedolizumab, and ruxolitinib) to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a stem cell transplant for children and young adults with certain blood cancers. The goal is to see if this approach reduces the risk of GVHD, a serious complication where donor cells attack the body.
This trial tests a special immune-cell “preparation” treatment (called T-cell and B-cell depletion) with adjusted anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) dosing before a stem cell transplant. It aims to reduce immune-related transplant complications in people under 25 with certain blood cancers in a specific remission status.
This trial studies how well a donor bone marrow (stem cell) transplant works for people with inherited immune system problems (called immune deficiencies). It’s for patients who haven’t improved with usual treatment or don’t have another good option.
This trial tests whether a gentler (reduced-intensity) conditioning treatment before a stem cell transplant works for non-cancer diseases. It uses specific donor stem cell matches and checks heart, lung, liver, and kidney function to help lower transplant stress while still aiming for benefit.
