Study Summary

This trial is testing a new way to treat cancer with reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) followed by a haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplant (haplo-HCT). This study uses a two-stage phase II design with the goal of enrolling 84 patients.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged between 55-75 with blood cancers who have a related donor partially matching their HLA type. They must be in good physical condition, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and free from serious infections or active central nervous system cancer. HIV+ patients can join if they have an undetectable viral load and a management plan.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a reduced intensity conditioning regimen followed by haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplant (haplo-HCT) in patients with blood cancers. It involves drugs like fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, melphalan and TBI, adjusting doses based on age and health conditions.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions to the drug infusion, damage to organs due to chemotherapy or radiation, increased risk of infections post-transplantation, graft-versus-host disease where the donor cells attack the patient's body, and general fatigue.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is the legal status of GVHD Prophylaxis?

"Our assessment at Power gave GVHD prophylaxis a score of 2, as this phase 2 trial has some evidence showing safety but not efficacy."

Answered by AI

Is recruitment still open for this research project?

"According to clinicaltrials.gov, this medical experiment is currently seeking participants; the original study was posted on January 24th 2017 and its information most recently updated on February 25th 2022."

Answered by AI

What is the cap on enrollment for this experiment?

"Affirmative. Clinicaltrials.gov contains evidence that this clinical trial, which was initially established on January 24th 2017, is still seeking participants. 84 individuals are required to be recruited from a single medical centre."
