Stem cell transplant using half-matched donor for kids with blood cancer
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a special stem cell transplant for children and young adults with certain high-risk blood cancers or bone marrow diseases. It uses a half-matched family donor and a technique to remove specific cells, which may lower the risk of side effects and help the body accept the new cells.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 30 years old or younger.
- You have a blood cancer or bone marrow disease that has not responded well to standard treatment or has come back.
- You need a family member who is at least half-matched to you for transplant.
- Your heart, liver, kidneys, and lungs must be working well enough.
- You must be free of active infections and not have a history of other cancers.

This study tests a new way to prevent leukemia from returning after a half-matched stem cell transplant. It uses specially activated natural killer cells to attack remaining cancer cells. This may help people with high-risk or relapsed AML who have few other options.
This trial tests a special stem cell transplant from a half-matched family donor, designed to reduce rejection and infection risk. It may include a targeted drug (blinatumomab) to help kill remaining cancer cells.
This trial tests a type of stem cell transplant that removes certain immune cells (alpha-beta T cells and CD19 B cells) from the donor cells. This may help prevent graft-versus-host disease and other complications in patients with blood cancers who do not have a matched sibling donor.
This expanded-access study offers a specific type of stem cell transplant preparation that removes certain immune cells (CD3 and CD19) from donor stem cells. It is for children who need a transplant but do not have a fully matched sibling donor and whose team cannot use the hospital’s usual matching device protocol.
This Phase 1 trial studies a type of stem cell transplant that removes certain immune cells (called T-cells) to help treat serious blood and immune diseases in children and young adults. It’s meant for patients who need a transplant but may not have an identical donor available in time.
This trial offers a special type of stem cell transplant for children and young adults. It uses a machine to remove certain immune cells (alpha/beta T cells and CD19+ cells) from the donated stem cells, which may lower the risk of graft-versus-host disease. The study includes patients who need a first transplant, a second transplant, or a stem cell boost.
