Reduced intensity transplant protocol for hematologic malignancies
Official title: A Phase II Trial of Reduced Intensity Fludarabine and Total Body Irradiation-Based Conditioning Prior to Haplo-Identical Transplantation for Patients With Hematologic Malignancies
Run by Northside Hospital, Inc. · NCT05417971 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a gentler transplant method using a specific combination of medications and radiation to see if it helps patients with blood cancers who have a matched donor.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients with hematologic malignancies requiring allogeneic transplantation and having a suitable matched related donor.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with significant comorbidities or those who do not have a matched donor may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of a reduced intensity conditioning protocol using fludarabine and intermediate-dose total body irradiation (TBI) prior to haplo-identical transplantation. The study focuses on patients with hematologic malignancies who have a matched related donor willing to provide peripheral blood stem cells. The approach aims to assess the outcomes of this transplant method in patients at high risk of relapse following non-myeloablative conditioning. The trial will monitor patient responses and potential complications associated with the treatment.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could improve transplant outcomes and reduce relapse rates in patients with hematologic malignancies.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with reduced intensity conditioning protocols, indicating potential for success in this approach.

Inclusion Criteria: * Availability of 3/6 - 5/6 matched related donor with a negative HLA-cross match in the host vs. graft direction willing to donate peripheral blood stem cells * KPS \>/= 70% * Hematologic malignancy requiring allogeneic transplantation, with a predicted high risk of relapse following non-myeloablative, low intensity conditioning. Exclusion Criteria: * Poor cardiac function (LVEF \<45%) * Poor pulmonary function (FEV, FVC, DLCO \<60%) * Poor liver function (bilirubin \>/= 2.5mg/dL; AST or ALT \>3xULN) * Poor renal function (creatinine clearance \<40mL/min) * HIV-positive; active HepB or HepC * Uncontrolled infection * Pregnant female or not able to practice adequate contraception * Debilitating medical or psychiatric illness which would preclude their giving informed consent
