Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation clinical trials at UCSF
6 in progress, 3 open to eligible people
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation is a treatment where a patient receives stem cells from a donor's bone marrow or blood to replace their own cells. UCSF is conducting clinical trials to study the best approach to improve quality of life and survival after the transplant for older, medically infirm, or frail patients; to validate a way to better predict the risk of chronic GvHD in children; and to evaluate a new therapy for preventing multiple viruses after the transplant.
Identifying Best Approach in Improving Quality of Life and Survival After a Donor Stem Cell Transplant in Older, Medically Infirm, or Frail Patients With Blood Diseases
open to eligible people ages 20 years and up
This phase II/III trial studies the best approach in improving quality of life and survival after a donor stem cell transplant in older, weak, or frail patients with blood diseases. Patients who have undergone a transplant often experience increases in disease and death. One approach, supportive and palliative care (SPC), focuses on relieving symptoms of stress from serious illness and care through physical, cultural, psychological, social, spiritual, and ethical aspects. While a second approach, clinical management of comorbidities (CMC) focuses on managing multiple diseases, other than cancer, such as heart or lung diseases through physical exercise, strength training, stress reduction, medication management, dietary recommendations, and education. Giving SPC, CMC, or a combination of both may work better in improving quality of life and survival after a donor stem cell transplant compared to standard of care in patients with blood diseases.

Study of Posoleucel (ALVR105,Viralym-M) for Multi-Virus Prevention in Patients Post-Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant
open to all eligible people
This is a Phase 3 study to evaluate posoleucel (ALVR105, Viralym-M); an allogeneic, off-the-shelf multi-virus specific T cell therapy that targets six viral pathogens: BK virus, cytomegalovirus, adenovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, human herpesvirus 6 and JC virus.

Biomarker Verification in Pediatric Chronic GvHD: ABLE 2.0 / PTCTC GVH 1901 Study
open to eligible people ages 0-24
This study will validate a previously developed pediatric prognostic biomarker algorithm aimed at improving prediction of risk for the later development of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD) in children and young adults undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. By developing an early risk stratification of patients into low-, intermediate-, and high-risk for future cGvHD development (based upon their biomarker profile, before the onset of cGvHD), pre-emptive therapies aimed at preventing the onset of cGvHD can be developed based upon an individual's biological risk profile. This study will also continue research into diagnostic biomarkers of cGvHD, and begin work into biomarker models that predict clinical response to cGvHD therapies.

KIR Favorable Mismatched Haplo Transplant and KIR Polymorphism in ALL/AML/MDS Allo-HCT Children
Sorry, accepting new patients by invitation only
This is a phase II, open-label, non-randomized, prospective study of haploidentical transplantation using KIR-favorable donors for children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). The relationship of KIR2DL1 polymorphisms to survival in children with these diseases undergoing any approach to allogeneic HCT during the study time frame will also be determined.

Posoleucel (ALVR105, Formerly Viralym-M) for Multi-Virus Prevention in Patients Post-Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
This is a Phase 2 study to evaluate posoleucel (ALVR105, formerly Viralym-M); an allogeneic, off-the-shelf multi-virus specific T cell therapy that targets six viral pathogens: BK virus, cytomegalovirus, adenovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, human herpesvirus 6 and JC virus.

Tagraxofusp to Eradicate Measurable Residual Disease in Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Sorry, not yet accepting patients
This phase Ib/II trial tests the safety of tagraxofusp when given with or without azacitidine in patients with acute myeloid leukemia in remission with measurable residual disease who will undergo allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant. Tagraxofusp is a recombinant protein consisting of IL-3 conjugated to a truncated diptheria toxin. The IL-3 attaches to the cancer cells and the toxic substance kills them. Azacitidine may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Tagraxofusp and azacitidine may work better to kill cancer cells and eradicate measurable residual disease in patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
