Trial of Allogeneic Reduced-Intensity, HLA-Haploidentical Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Bone Marrow Transplantation Followed by Graft-versus-Host-Disease (GVHD) Prophylaxis With Cyclophosphamide, Bortezomib and Maraviroc for Hematologic Malignancies ...

What this study is about

Background: People living with HIV(PLWH) are at a higher risk for cancers that may be curable with a bone marrow transplant. HIV infection itself is no longer a reason to not get a transplant, for patients who otherwise have a standard reason to need transplant.

View original scientific description

Background: People living with HIV(PLWH) are at a higher risk for cancers that may be curable with a bone marrow transplant. HIV infection itself is no longer a reason to not get a transplant, for patients who otherwise have a standard reason to need transplant. Objective: This study is being done to see if a new combination of drugs (cyclophosphamide, maraviroc, and bortezomib) is both safe and effective at protecting against graft-versus-host disease after bone marrow transplant. The study will also test the transplant s impact on your survival and control of your cancer. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older living with HIV and a blood cancer that is eligible for a transplant. Healthy family members aged 12 or older who are half matched to transplant recipients are also needed to donate bone marrow. Design: The study will be done in 2 phases. The first phase will be to see if we can safely use a new combination of drugs to prevent GVHD. If the combination is safe in the first phase, the study will proceed to the second phase. In the second phase, we will see if this new combination can better protect against GVHD after transplant. Participants will be screened. Their diagnoses, organ function and eligibility will be confirmed. Participants will have a catheter inserted into a vein in their chest or neck. Medications and transfusions will be given through the catheter; blood will be drawn from it. Participants will be in the hospital for 6 weeks or longer. They will receive various drugs for 2 weeks to prep their body for the transplant. The transplant cells will be administered through the catheter. Participants will continue to receive drug treatments after the transplant. Blood transfusions may also be needed. Participants will return 1-2 times per week for follow-up visits for 3 months after discharge. Participants will have visits 6, 12, 18, 24 months after transplant, then once a year for 5 years....

Inclusion criteria

  • - RECIPIENT:
  • Participants must have a histologically or cytologically confirmed hematologic malignancy with standard indication for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation including, but not limited to, one of the following:

Subsequent changes to avoid/optimize drug interactions with study drugs or essential supportive care drugs may be made to the ART regimen at any time during the eligibility assessment period, as long as the eligibility criteria were met and the regimen change is expected, by the study team and involved consultants/pharmacy, to be similarly effective for HIV control. These changes to the ART regimen are not part of the study. If changes to the ART regimen are made during the eligibility period, HIV viral load will be rechecked at least 1 week after the change but prior to protocol treatment consent.
  • Dose level 1: ART regimen must include maraviroc

Frequently asked questions

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
