Study Summary

This trial is testing whether allogeneic blood or marrow transplant is safe and effective in treating people with primary immunodeficiencies.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 4-75 with primary immunodeficiencies that could be treated by a blood or marrow transplant. Donors must be healthy and at least 4 years old. Participants need to have certain immune system issues, like severe infections or autoimmune diseases, and good organ function. Pregnant women can't join, and participants must agree to use contraception for one year post-transplant.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests if blood or bone marrow transplants from donors are safe and effective in treating various primary immunodeficiencies. It involves screening, pre-transplant assessments, chemotherapy before the transplant day, hospital stay for several weeks with follow-up visits up to five years.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions to anesthesia during bone marrow harvests; complications from stem cell collection; risks associated with chemotherapy such as nausea, hair loss, fatigue; infection risk due to weakened immunity; graft-versus-host disease where donor cells attack recipient's body.

For the RIC-MMF arm: To determine the shortest duration of MMF that can be safely administered without excessive rates of graft failure or acute grade 3-4 GVHD
For the RIC-SHORT arm: To estimate the aGVHD-free, graft failure-free survival
Secondary outcome measures
Disease free survival
Event-free survival

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Who meets the requirements to be a test subject in this clinical trial?

"This study is looking for patients that currently have lymphoproliferative disorders, are between the ages of 4 and 75, and meet the following criteria: Patients age greater than or equal to 4 through 75 years, Patients without a mutation must be deemed eligible and appropriate for allo BMT by the PI. Some patients may meet the clinical history criteria listed below, but will not be eligible if it is thought that their clinical history is due to a condition apart from an immune defect. In addition, patients with a PID of mild severity, such as those with selective IgA deficiency, may meet at least two of the clinical history"

Answered by AI

Are new participants being taken in for this research project?

"That is correct. The online information regarding this clinical trial indicates that it is open for enrollment and looking for patients. This particular trial was first posted on 19th November 2015, with the most recent update being on 1st November 2022. There are a total of 224 positions available at 3 different locations."

Answered by AI

What does the FDA think of Allo BMT as a treatment option?

"While Phase 2 trials offer less evidence of safety than Phase 3, our team still gave Allo BMT a score of 2."

Answered by AI

What do researchers hope to discover or prove with this experiment?

"The purpose of this study, which will take place over a period of 180 days or more after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, is to determine the shortest duration of MMF that can be safely administered without an increased risk of graft failure or acute grade 3-4 GVHD. Secondary outcomes include event-free survival (time from transplant to death or other events such as disease relapse, graft failure, grade 3-4 acute GVHD, chronic GVHD requiring systemic therapy, or receipt of post-transplant donor cell infusion), transplant-related mortality (cumulative incidence of transplant-related mortality at 180 days and 1"

Answered by AI

Are young adults eligible to participate in this experiment?

"This trial is only for people aged 4 to 75. Out of the 1,047 similar studies, 326 are for younger patients and 721 are for seniors."
