Mosaic Website for Blood Cancer Patients
Chicago, Illinois
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if using an intervention website (Mosaic) improves selected patient-reported outcomes in adult blood cancer patients undergoing allogeneic or autologous stem cell transplant, compared to using an educational website (control group). Patients will be recruited prior to their scheduled transplant, then randomized to use one of these two study websites throughout the study. They will complete five assessments during the study: one before transplant (baseline) and four after transplant (2, 4, 6, and 8 month follow-ups).
The main questions this trial aims to answer are:
1. Compared to patients using the control group website, do patients using the intervention website report greater improvements in general psychological distress, cancer treatment-related distress, physical symptoms, and health-related quality of life?
2. Are these benefits at least partially explained by improvements in perceived preparedness, self-efficacy, and approach coping and/or reductions in avoidant coping and perceived stress?
3. Do some patients benefit more from using the intervention website than others? Specifically, we will examine whether patients' primary language (English/Spanish) and their initial psychological distress are related to the benefit they get from using the intervention website. We will also explore effects of sex, race, ethnicity, and transplant type.

Pneumonia is a lung infection. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy is a test to diagnose the type of lung infection. While this procedure is being performed, a small amount of oxygen is delivered into the nose (low flow nasal cannula). Occasionally during this procedure, the blood oxygen of the patient may drop and an intervention such as increasing the oxygen flow, or placing the patient on a breathing machine is required. An alternative device called 'Optiflow' can provide high flow oxygen through nasal cannula, and is comfortable for patients. If Optiflow is used during bronchoscopy, it may prevent the blood oxygen from dropping.

Low-Dose Cyclophosphamide for Graft-versus-Host Disease
Bethesda, Maryland
Background:
Blood cancers (such as leukemias or lymphomas) often do not respond to standard treatments. A transplant of blood stem cells from a healthy donor can help people with these cancers. Sometimes these transplants cause serious side effects, including a common immunologic problem called graft-versus-host disease. A drug called cyclophosphamide given early after the transplant (post-transplantation cyclophosphamide, PTCy) can reduce these complications. But sometimes this drug has its own negative effects. Furthermore, studies in mice suggest that an intermediate, rather than very high, dose of this drug may best protect against graft-versus-host disease.
Objective:
To find out if a lower dose of PTCy is more helpful for people who undergo blood stem cell transplants.
Eligibility:
People aged 18 and older who have a blood cancer and are eligible for a transplant of blood stem cells from another person. Healthy donors are also needed but must be related to the individual needing the transplant.
Design:
Participants will undergo screening. Transplant recipients will have imaging scans and tests of their heart and lung function. They will be assessed for the status of their cancer, including bone marrow taken from their pelvis and possibly also scans and/or fluid drawn from the spine depending on the disease type.
Donors will be screened for general health. They will give several tubes of blood. They will give an oral swab and saliva and stool samples for research.
Recipients will be in the hospital at least 4 to 6 weeks.
They will have a temporary catheter inserted into a vein in the chest or neck. Medications will be given and blood will be drawn through the catheter.
The transplanted stem cells will be given through the catheter. Participants will receive medications both before and after the transplant.
Participants will return to the clinic at least once a week for 3 months after leaving the hospital. Follow-up visits will continue periodically for 5 years.

Peer Support for Bone Marrow Transplant Recipients
Toronto, Ontario
Allogeneic Haemopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (Allo-HSCT) is a potentially curative option for patients with both malignant and non-malignant hematological disorders. There appears to be unique experiences that adolescents and young adults (AYA) face when undergoing transplant. There is literature to suggest that peer support for young adults is associated with improvements in mental health including greater happiness, self-esteem and effective coping, as well as reductions in depression, loneliness and anxiety.
Our primary objective is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of an AYA peer support program for patients undergoing Allo-HSCT. Our secondary objective is to explore the impact of the AYA peer support program on sense of support/connectivity, anxiety, and depression.

Advance Care Planning Discussions for Bone Marrow Transplant Patients
Bethesda, Maryland
Background:
For adolescent and young adults (AYAs) with certain life-threatening illnesses, hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) provides the best chance for cure and survival. HSCT is a life-saving therapy, but this treatment also comes with significant risks. Given these risks, it is imperative that patients and their families have the opportunity to share their values, priorities, and goals through advance care planning (ACP) to ensure that the care they receive through the transplant process remains patient-centered. Despite the benefits of ACP discussions, many barriers, including provider discomfort, may prevent these conversations with AYAs.
Objective:
To see if AYAs who undergo HSCT and their caregivers benefit from discussing ACP topics.
Eligibility:
People aged 18 to 39 years enrolled in an NIH study with a planned HSCT. One caregiver aged 18 years or older will also be invited to participate.
Design:
Participants will complete a 20-minute questionnaire. They will be asked about the priorities they have related to their care and their prior experiences with ACP.
Participants will have 3 conversations with a study team member over 4 to 9 weeks. Each talk will last 45 to 60 minutes.
First, participants will talk about their upcoming transplant and their expectations. They will also be asked about their fears and worries and will discuss what is most important to them in terms of support, comfort, their values, and their goals.
Next, they will learn about Voicing My CHOiCES . This guide gives people a place to say what kind of care they want to receive during their treatment and includes a place to document how they would want to be cared for if they can no longer make decisions on their own. Participants will be guided as they fill in a few pages from this guide.
The third conversation will review the first talks. Participants may ask questions and review any topic. They will complete follow-up questionnaires and be provided with a summary of their care priorities revealed in the discussions. They will be asked about their experience participating in this study, and their comfort with ACP discussions. They will be asked what they think of the meaningfulness, timing, and cultural sensitivity of these talks....

Stem Cell Transplant for VEXAS Syndrome
Bethesda, Maryland
Background:
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant involves taking blood stem cells from a donor and giving them to a recipient. The transplants are used to treat certain diseases and cancers. Researchers want to see if the transplant can treat VEXAS Syndrome.
Objective:
To see if stem cell transplants can be successfully performed in people with VEXAS and even improve the disease.
Eligibility:
People ages 18-75 who have VEXAS Syndrome that has caused significant health problems and standard treatment either has not worked or is not available.
Design:
Participants will be screened with:
Physical exam
Medical review
Blood and urine tests
Heart and lung function tests
Bone marrow biopsy
Participants will have a chest x-ray. They will have an imaging scan of the head, chest, abdomen, pelvis, and sinus. They will have a bone density scan. They will have a dental exam and eye exam. They will meet with specialists. They will repeat some screening tests.
Participants will be admitted to the NIH hospital. They have a central venous catheter put into a vein in the chest or neck. They will receive drugs to prepare their bone marrow for the transplant. They may have total body irradiation. They will receive the donor stem cells through the catheter. They will get other drugs to prevent complications and infections. After discharge, they must stay in the DC area for 3 months for weekly study visits.
Participants will have study visits 30, 60, 100, 180, 210, 240, 300, and 360 days later. After that, they will have yearly visits for 2 years and then be contacted yearly by phone....

Palifermin for Stem Cell Transplant Outcomes
Bethesda, Maryland
Background:
- In allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT), stem cells are taken from a donor and given to a recipient. Sometimes the recipient s immune system destroys the donor s cells. Or donor immune cells attack the recipient s tissues, called graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). This is less likely when the recipient and donor have similar human leukocyte antigens (HLA). Researchers want to see if the drug palifermin improves the results of allogeneic SCT from HLA-matched unrelated donors.
Objective:
- To see if high doses of palifermin before chemotherapy are safe, prevent chronic GVHD, and improve immune function after transplant.
Eligibility:
- Adults 18 years of age or older with blood or bone marrow cancer with no HLA-matched sibling, but with a possible HLA-matched donor.
Design:
* Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, and blood and urine tests. They will have scans and heart and lung exams.
* Before transplant, participants will:
* Have many tests and exams. These include blood tests throughout the study and bone marrow biopsy.
* Get a central line catheter if they do not have one.
* Have 1-3 rounds of chemotherapy.
* Take more tests to make sure they can have the transplant, including medical history, physical exam, and CT scan.
* Get palifermin by IV and more chemotherapy. They will get other drugs, some they will take for 6 months.
* Participants will get the SCT.
* After transplant, participants will:
* Be hospitalized at least 3-4 weeks.
* Have tests for GVHD at 60 days and 6 months. These include mouth and skin photos and biopsies.
* Stay near D.C. for 3 months.
* Visit NIH 5 times the first 2 years, then yearly. They may have scans and biopsies.

VR Intervention for Caregiver Stress
Bethesda, Maryland
Background:
People who receive an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) require long-term care at home afterwards. Their caregivers often experience high levels of stress, which can lead to symptoms such as depression, anxiety, poor sleep, fatigue, and difficulties with concentration and memory.
Objective: To explore whether a nature-based immersive virtual reality (VR) program helps reduce stress in people who care for HSCT patients.
Eligibility:
People aged 18 and older who are primary caregivers of HSCT patients.
Design:
This is a two-phase study. Participants will be enrolled for 4 weeks. They will have 2 clinic visits.
Participants will have a physical exam at the beginning of the study. They will be asked to provide a saliva sample in Phase 1, and saliva and blood samples in Phase 2.
Participants will be given a VR headset. This is a device that looks like a pair of goggles worn over the eyes. They will be asked to wear the headset for 20 minutes per day. They will see 360 (Infinite) high-definition videos of nature and hear nature sounds.
Participants will record the time they spend using the VR headset in a daily diary. They will take surveys with questions about any stress and symptoms they feel once a week. This will take up to 5 minutes. Participants will have a short regular follow-up visit by phone one week after starting their participation.
At the end of the intervention study, participants will return for another physical exam. They will give saliva and/or blood samples again.
Researchers will also look at the medical records of the HSCT patients; the HSCT patients must consent to this.

Fostamatinib for Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP)
Bethesda, Maryland
Background:
People who have a blood stem cell transplant can sometimes develop cytopenia. This means that their levels of one or more types of blood cell, such as the red cells or platelets, are lower than they should be. This can occur because a person s immune system might attack these cells after a stem cell transplant. Up to 20% of people who have blood stem cell transplants develop cytopenias, which can lead to anemia, severe bleeding, infections, and other problems. Treatments are needed to help keep blood cell levels stable after blood stem cell transplant.
Objective:
To evaluate the long-term effects of a study drug (fostamatinib) in people with cytopenia after a blood stem cell transplant.
Eligibility:
People who responded well to fostamatinib in an earlier study.
Design:
Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam and blood tests.
Fostamatinib is an oral tablet taken by mouth. Participants will take the pills at the same dose and frequency as they did during the previous study. They will take the pills for up to 21 months. The dosage of the drug may be reduced over time if their blood cell levels are stable.
Participants will have a medical assessment every month. This can be with their local doctor or at the NIH clinic.
Participants will have blood tests every 3 months.
Participants will have a follow-up visit after they stop taking the drug. Their vital signs will be taken, and they will have blood drawn. They will answer questions about their health.

Fostamatinib for Post-Transplant Cytopenias
Bethesda, Maryland
Background:
People who have a blood stem cell transplant can sometimes develop cytopenia. This means that their levels of one or more types of blood cell, such as the red cells or platelets, are lower than they should be. This can occur because a person s immune system might attack these cells after a stem cell transplant. Cytopenia can lead to anemia, severe bleeding, infections, and other problems. Treatments are needed to help keep blood cell levels stable after blood stem cell transplant.
Objective:
To test a study drug (fostamatinib) in people who have cytopenia after a blood stem cell transplant.
Eligibility:
People aged 18 to 75 years who have cytopenia after a blood stem cell transplant.
Design:
Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam. They will have blood, urine, and stool tests.
Fostamatinib is an oral tablet taken by mouth. Participants will take the pills 2 times a day for 12 weeks.
Participants will have a medical assessment every 2 weeks; their vital signs will be checked, and they will have blood and stool tests. Participants must come to the NIH clinic for these visits in weeks 4 and 12. Other visits may be done by telephone or telehealth; the blood and stool tests can be sent to the researchers from a local lab.
After 4 weeks, some participants may begin taking a higher dose of the drug.
Participants will return for a final medical assessment 2 weeks after they finish taking the drug.
Participants who complete this study and show evidence that fostamatinib has increased their blood cell counts may enroll in an extension study to continue taking fostamatinib.

Haploidentical Transplant for Chronic Granulomatous Disease
Bethesda, Maryland
Background:
CGD causes infections and inflammation. The only cure currently is a bone marrow transplant. Most often a perfectly matched bone marrow donor is used. Researchers want to see if they can lower the risks of using a mismatched donor.
Objectives:
To see if it is safe to use a related bone marrow donor who is only a partial match to a person with CGD. To see how well drugs given to a person before and after transplant help the body accept the transplant.
Eligibility:
People ages 4-65 with CGD for whom stem cell transplant may be a cure and who do not have a perfectly matched donor, related or unrelated.
Design:
Participants will be screened with:
Medical history
Physical exam
Blood tests
Participants will be admitted to the hospital about 2 weeks before the transplant. They will have blood, urine, breathing, and heart tests. They may have CT and/or MRI scans. They will have a needle inserted into their hipbone to remove marrow. They will have dental, neurologic, and psychologic tests. They will have a central catheter placed: A line will be placed into a vein in their upper chest. They will get drugs, chemotherapy, and radiation to prepare for the transplant.
Participants will receive the donated cells through their catheter. The cells will be from one of their relatives.
Participants will stay in the hospital about 6 weeks after the transplant.
After they leave the hospital, participants will have to stay in the area with visits about 2 times a week for approximately 100 days post transplant. Then visits will be every 3 to 6 months for 2 years. Then visits will be once a year.

Cord Blood Transplant for Blood Disorders
Bethesda, Maryland
Background:
- Cord blood is blood that is taken from the umbilical cord and placenta of healthy newborns after childbirth. The cord blood collected from a baby is called a cord blood unit. Cord blood units are stored frozen in public cord blood banks. About 10,000 cord blood transplants have been performed in children and adults for blood cancers and other diseases in the world. These transplants have helped save lives and improve treatments. However, not all available units of cord blood have been collected, stored, and licensed according to specific government requirements. These unlicensed units can still be used in transplant, but they can only be given as part of specific research studies. This study will evaluate the safety of giving these unlicensed units by recording any problems that may occur during and after giving the cord blood.
Objectives:
- To test the safety and effectiveness of unlicensed cord blood units in people who need stem cell transplants.
Eligibility:
- Individuals who are scheduled to have a stem cell transplant.
Design:
Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam.
Participants will receive the cord blood unit as part of their stem cell transplant procedure. The transplant will be performed according to the current standard of care for the procedure.
After the transplant, participants will be monitored for up to 1 year. Any problems or side effects from the transplant will be treated as necessary. All outcomes will be reported to the National Cord Blood Program and to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant.

Low-Dose Radiation + Immunosuppressants for Sickle Cell Disease
Bethesda, Maryland
People with severe congenital anemias, such as sickle cell anemia and beta-thalassemia, have been cured with bone marrow transplantation (BMT). The procedure, however, is limited to children younger than the age of 16 because the risks are lower for children than for adults.
The purpose of this study is to explore the use of a BMT regimen that, instead of chemotherapy, uses a low dose of radiation, combined with two immunosuppressive drugs. This type BMT procedure is described as nonmyeloablative, meaning that it does not destroy the patient s bone marrow. It is hoped that this type of BMT will be safe for patients normally excluded from the procedure because of their age and other reasons.
To participate in this study, patients must be between the ages of 18 and 65 and have a sibling who is a well-matched stem-cell donor. Beyond the standard BMT protocol, study participants will undergo additional procedures. The donor will receive G-CSF by injection for five days; then his or her stem cells will be collected and frozen one month prior to BMT. Approximately one month later, the patient will be given two immune-suppressing drugs, Campath 1-H and Sirolimus, as well as a single low dose of total body irradiation and then the cells from the donor will be infused.
Prior to their participation in this study, patients will undergo the following evaluations: a physical exam, blood work, breathing tests, heart-function tests, chest and sinus x-rays, and bone-marrow sampling.

Stem Cell Transplant for Sickle Cell Anemia
Bethesda, Maryland
Background:
Sickle cell disease can often be treated with blood stem cell transplants. But for some people the disease returns. This study will give a second transplant to people whose disease has returned but still have some donor cells in their body.
Objective:
To cure people s sickle cell disease by giving a second treatment that makes more room in their bone marrow for donor cells.
Eligibility:
People ages 4 and older with sickle cell disease who had a transplant but the disease returned, and their donor relatives. Donors can be 2 years of age or older.
Design:
Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, and blood tests.
Recipients will also be screened with heart and breathing tests, x-rays, a bone marrow sample, and teeth and eye exams. They must have a caregiver.
Donors will have 7-8 visits. They will take a drug for 5-6 days to prepare them for the donation. For the donation, blood is taken from a vein in the arm or groin. The stem cells are collected. The rest of the blood is returned. This may be repeated.
Recipients will get a long IV line in their arm or chest for about 1-2 months. They will take drugs to help their body accept the donor cells. They will get the donor cells and red blood cell transfusions through the line. They will stay in the hospital about 30 days after the transfusion of donor cells.
In first 3 months after the infusion, recipients will have many visits. Then they will have visits every 6 months to 1 year for 5 years. During those visits they will repeat some of the screening tests....

Bethesda, Maryland
This trial tests a new bone marrow transplant method for adults with sickle cell disease and Beta-thalassemia. It uses stem cells from a half-matched family donor, low-dose radiation, and immunosuppressant drugs, but no chemotherapy. The goal is to reduce complications and improve outcomes for patients who lack fully matched donors.

Steroid Tapering for Pediatric Graft-versus-Host Disease
Washington, District of Columbia
The standard treatment for acute graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) is to suppress the activity of the donor immune cells using steroid medications such as prednisone. Although most GVHD, especially in children, responds well to treatment, sometimes (around 1/3 of the time) there is either no response to steroids or the response does not last. In those cases, the GVHD can become dangerous and even life-threatening. Unfortunately, doctors cannot predict who will have a good response to treatment based on symptom severity or initial response to steroids. As a result, nearly all children who develop GVHD are treated with long courses of high dose steroids even though that means many patients receive more treatment than they probably need. Steroid treatment can cause short-term complications like infections, high blood sugar, high blood pressure, muscle weakness, depression, anxiety, and problems sleeping and long-term complications like bone damage, cataracts in the eyes, and decreased growth. The risk of these complications increases with higher doses of steroids and longer treatment. It is important to find ways to decrease the steroid treatment in patients who do not need long courses.
The doctors conducting this research have developed a blood test (GVHD biomarkers) that predicts whether a patient will respond well to steroids. The study team found that children who have low GVHD biomarkers at the start of treatment and for the first two weeks of treatment have a very high response rate to steroids. In this study, the study team will monitor GVHD symptoms and biomarkers during treatment and taper steroids quickly in patients who have GVHD that is expected to respond very well to treatment. The study team will assess how many patients respond well to lower steroid dosing and what steroid complications develop. The study team will also use surveys to obtain the patient's own assessment of their quality of life (down to age 5 years).

Gene Modified T-cells for Blood Disorders
Washington, District of Columbia
This study will evaluate pediatric patients with malignant or non-malignant blood cell disorders who are having a blood stem cell transplant depleted of T cell receptor (TCR) alfa and beta cells that comes from a partially matched family donor. The study will assess whether immune cells, called T cells, from the family donor, that are specially grown in the laboratory and given back to the patient along with the stem cell transplant can help the immune system recover faster after transplant. As a safety measure these T cells have been programmed with a self-destruct switch so that they can be destroyed if they start to react against tissues (graft versus host disease).

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Stem Cell Transplant clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Stem Cell Transplant clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Stem Cell Transplant trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Stem Cell Transplant is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Stem Cell Transplant medical study?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest Stem Cell Transplant clinical trials?
Most recently, we added Potato Resistant Starch + Iron Chelation for Stem Cell Transplant, Fostamatinib for Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) and Decitabine + Venetoclax for Acute Myeloid Leukemia Maintenance Therapy to the Power online platform.
