New treatment option for Bone Marrow Transplant Complications
Official title Post Transplant Cyclophosphamide in Matched Unrelated Donor Stem Cell Transplantation for Hematological Malignancies
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03818334
What this study is testing
What is Cyclophosphamide?
Cyclophosphamide is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for bone marrow transplant complications.
Also referred to as Cytoxan.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of cyclophosphamide in patients receiving a bone marrow graft from a matched unrelated donor in overall survival, progression free survival and cumulative incidence of acute and chronic GvHD. Thirty patients will receive cyclophosphamide while twenty patients will receive antihuman T-lymphocyte immune globulin (ATG).
