Haploidentical stem cell transplantation for patients with refractory aplastic anemia

Official title: Haploidentical Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation With Post-transplant Cyclophosphamide in Patients With Acquired Refractory Aplastic Anemia or in Relapse After Immunosuppression: a Nationwide Phase II Study

Run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris · NCT05126849 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether a new type of stem cell transplant from a half-matched donor can help people with severe aplastic anemia who haven't responded to other treatments.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are individuals aged 3 to 35 years with refractory acquired idiopathic aplastic anemia who lack a matched donor.

Probably not a fit

Patients with severe and uncontrolled infections or those who have a matched donor may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the use of haploidentical allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation combined with post-transplant cyclophosphamide in patients suffering from acquired refractory aplastic anemia. The study aims to improve outcomes for patients who have not responded to first-line immunosuppressive therapy and lack a matched unrelated donor. By utilizing a haploidentical donor, the trial seeks to enhance survival rates and reduce complications associated with severe aplastic anemia. Participants will be closely monitored for their response to the treatment and any potential side effects.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve survival rates and quality of life for patients with refractory aplastic anemia.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with haploidentical stem cell transplantation in similar patient populations, indicating potential for success in this approach.
