Anti-CD25 antibody to prevent acute GVHD after haploidentical stem cell transplant

Official title: A Randomized, Open-Label, Parallel-Controlled, Multicenter Phase III Clinical Trial of Anti-CD25 Monoclonal Antibody Versus Methotrexate for the Prevention of Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease After Haploidentical Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Run by Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology · NCT07689630 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether an anti-CD25 antibody can better prevent acute graft-versus-host disease after haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation compared with the usual methotrexate-based approach.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–75 with hematologic malignancies undergoing haploidentical allogeneic HSCT, willing to be randomized and adhere to procedures.

Probably not a fit

Patients receiving the anti-CD25 regimen may not experience reduced GVHD or could face different safety concerns without benefit.

What this trial studies

This is a multicenter, randomized Phase 3 trial comparing an anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody regimen to methotrexate for preventing acute GVHD after haploidentical allogeneic transplantation in adults with hematologic cancers. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the anti-CD25 therapy or methotrexate, alongside standard GVHD prophylaxis, in a parallel design and open-label format. Eligible patients are adults 18 to 75 with hematologic malignancies and a haploidentical donor, without other conflicting donor types or prior transplant. The study aims to determine if the anti-CD25 approach reduces GVHD while maintaining engraftment and safety. Key outcomes likely include GVHD-free survival, engraftment kinetics, infection rates, and treatment-related adverse events.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience lower risk of acute GVHD and better overall transplant outcomes with possibly improved recovery.

How similar studies have gone: Prior GVHD prophylaxis trials have shown mixed results; this trial tests a novel anti-CD25 approach in a well-defined haploidentical setting.
