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.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

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.
