Data collection for patients with non-malignant disorders undergoing stem cell transplantation

A Prospective Outcomes Study of Pediatric and Adult Patients With Non-Malignant Disorders Undergoing Umbilical Cord Blood, Bone Marrow, or Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation With a Reduced-Intensity Conditioning Regimen (PRO-RIC)

Observational University of Pittsburgh · NCT04528355

This study is collecting information from patients with non-cancerous disorders who are getting stem cell transplants to see if a new treatment plan helps them recover better and avoid complications.

What this trial studies

This observational study collects data on patients with non-malignant disorders who are undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) using a reduced-intensity chemotherapy regimen. The focus is on understanding the effectiveness of a novel conditioning regimen that includes alemtuzumab and other agents to prevent graft failure and support immune reconstitution. By gathering clinical data, the study aims to assess outcomes such as engraftment, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), immunosuppressant use, and overall survival in this patient population. The findings may also provide insights for future gene therapy strategies.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include patients aged 2 months to 60 years with non-malignant disorders suitable for stem cell transplantation, such as primary immunodeficiency syndromes and congenital bone marrow failure syndromes.

Not a fit: Patients with malignant disorders or those not eligible for stem cell transplantation will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve outcomes for patients undergoing stem cell transplantation for non-malignant disorders.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promising results with similar reduced-intensity conditioning regimens, indicating potential for success in this approach.
