HLA mismatched stem cell transplantation for hematologic diseases

A Prospective Single-arm Trial on Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) Mismatched Unrelated Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Phase 1 Interventional Zhejiang University · NCT06809712

This study is testing a new stem cell transplant approach for patients with blood cancers who can't find matching donors to see if it can improve their chances of recovery.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial is a single center, prospective, single arm exploratory study aimed at patients with hematological malignancies who require allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation but lack suitable donors. The trial will utilize highly mismatched unrelated HLA donors to establish a transplantation plan that could improve disease prognosis. By focusing on patients who cannot find suitable donors, the study seeks to ensure that more individuals have access to potentially life-saving treatments. The interventions include Busulfan, Cyclophosphamide, Fludarabine, and Semustine.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-60 with hematological malignancies needing stem cell transplantation and lacking suitable donors.

Not a fit: Patients with severe liver or kidney dysfunction, active infections, or significant cardiopulmonary issues may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could provide a viable transplantation option for patients who currently have no suitable donor matches.

How similar studies have performed: While the use of HLA mismatched donors is a novel approach, similar studies have shown promise in expanding donor options for patients in need of stem cell transplants.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

* Adult patients (18-60 years old) with hematological malignancies and indications for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation;
* Non blood donors without human leukocyte antigen (HLA) high-resolution typing ≥ 9/10, or those who have difficulty finding non blood donors due to urgent medical conditions;
