BFCA conditioning for Haplo-HSCT in older adults with severe aplastic anemia
Official title: A Novel Conditioning Regimen for Haploidentical Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant in Patients Aged ≥ 40 Years Old With Severe Aplastic Anemia: a Multicenter, Single-arm, Observational Clinical Trial
Run by Peking University People's Hospital · NCT07586735 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests the BFCA conditioning regimen in adults aged 40–60 with severe aplastic anemia undergoing haploidentical stem cell transplant to see if it’s safe and effective.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 40–60 with severe aplastic anemia undergoing haplo-HSCT, weight 45–100 kg, ECOG ≤3, and adequate organ function who provide informed consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with very poor prognosis, significant organ dysfunction, active severe infection, or conditions making transplantation inappropriate may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm observational study evaluating the BFCA conditioning regimen for older patients with severe aplastic anemia undergoing haploidentical HSCT. Participants are 40–60 years old and receive the BFCA regimen as part of their transplant procedure, with safety and efficacy data collected across centers. The study does not include a control group, and outcomes will focus on engraftment, survival, and regimen-related toxicities. Enrollment is limited to eligible patients who meet specific organ function and performance status criteria and who give informed consent.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the regimen could improve engraftment and survival while maintaining an acceptable safety profile for this patient group.
How similar studies have gone: Prior research in haplo-HSCT conditioning has shown variable results; this study explores a novel BFCA regimen in a specific older-age cohort.
