Population PK-guided ATG Dosing in Haplo-HSCT
Official title: Pharmacokinetic Guided ATG Targeted Dosing Strategy in Unmanipulated Haploidentical Haematopoietic Stem-cell Transplantation
Run by Chinese PLA General Hospital · NCT07791576 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests a population PK-guided dosing strategy for anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) in adults and adolescents undergoing haploidentical stem cell transplantation to see if it can reduce GVHD while keeping relapse risk acceptable.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Patients aged 14–65 with malignant hematologic diseases requiring allogeneic HSCT and a haploidentical, related, or unrelated donor.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without adequate hematologic recovery or who experience adverse reactions to ATG may not benefit.

What this trial studies
In haplo-HSCT, ATG is commonly used to prevent GVHD but traditional dosing can lead to infection or relapse due to over-immunosuppression or under-immunosuppression. This phase 2 trial applies population pharmacokinetics to tailor ATG dosing for each patient, aiming to balance GVHD prevention with immune reconstitution. The study will monitor safety, engraftment, GVHD rates, infections, relapse, and GVHD-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) in participants aged 14–65 with malignant hematologic diseases. Eligible donors include haploidentical, matched related, or matched unrelated. Enrollment is at Chinese PLA General Hospital in Beijing.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience lower GVHD rates and better GRFS with personalized ATG dosing.
How similar studies have gone: Previous dose-ranging ATG studies show trade-offs between GVHD prevention and infection/relapse; PK-guided approaches are being explored but their effectiveness varies by regimen.
