Vitamin A and D supplementation for patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic transplantation

Official title: Randomized Study of Vitamin A and D Prophylaxis Before Allogeneic Related and Unrelated Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Run by St. Petersburg State Pavlov Medical University · NCT06508099 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing if giving high doses of vitamins A and D before a stem cell transplant can help patients with certain blood cancers have fewer complications like infections and graft-versus-host disease.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with specific hematologic malignancies and a compatible donor for transplantation.

Probably not a fit

Patients with severe organ failure or uncontrolled infections at the time of inclusion may not benefit from this study.

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

What this trial studies

This study investigates the effects of adding 300,000 IU of vitamin A and 100,000 IU of vitamin D before conditioning in patients with hematologic malignancies who are candidates for allogeneic hematopoietic transplantation. The research focuses on the role of gut microbiota in complications following transplantation, such as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and infections. By enhancing the intake of these vitamins, the study aims to improve the abundance of beneficial gut bacteria that may mitigate severe complications post-transplant. Eligible participants include those with specific types of leukemia and lymphoma who have a compatible donor.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could reduce complications and improve outcomes for patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic transplantation.

How similar studies have gone: While the role of gut microbiota in transplantation is being explored, this specific approach of vitamin supplementation is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
