Comparing two types of stem cell transplants for children
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study compares a newer type of stem cell transplant (using special cells) to the standard method for children who need a half-matched donor. It aims to see if the new approach is safer and works as well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age between 8 weeks and 18 years old
- Your child needs a half-matched stem cell transplant from a family member
- No fully matched donor is available or suitable
- You or your legal guardian must agree to the study and sign a consent form

This study compares two types of stem cell transplants for adults with T-ALL: one using a half-matched donor alone, and one using a half-matched donor plus umbilical cord blood. The goal is to see which approach gives better results with fewer side effects.
This feasibility study tests a technique called CLINIMACS to reduce certain immune cells (alpha/beta T-cells) before a stem cell transplant. It may help make the transplant safer and better controlled, but this is an early-stage feasibility test.
This trial offers a stem cell transplant from a half-matched (haploidentical) donor for children. It uses an early medicine to calm the immune system and a lower dose of a drug to prevent rejection and graft-versus-host disease.
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 trial tests a combination of three drugs (vedolizumab, cyclophosphamide, and tacrolimus) to prevent graft-versus-host disease, a common complication after a donor stem cell transplant. It is for people with certain blood cancers who are getting a reduced-intensity transplant.
This trial studies a type of stem cell transplant (bone marrow transplant) that uses a donor who is only half-matched to the patient, often a parent or sibling. It is for children and young adults with certain blood diseases, including sickle cell disease, thalassemia, bone marrow failure, and immune disorders. The transplant aims to replace the diseased blood-forming cells with healthy ones from the donor.
