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.
