About this study

The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for patients with thalassemia major.

Read the detailed description

The only curative therapy for thalassemia major remains the replacement of the defective erythropoiesis by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(HSCT). However, this option is unavailable to many patients as a result of a lack of compatible donors.Haploidentical transplantation has been certified as a valuable alternative for hematological malignancy patients lacking a well-matched donor, with results comparable matched HLA-identical sibling donors or unrelated donors.The objective of this study is to test the feasibility of haploidentical HSCT for patients with thalassemia major.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Busulfan, Cyclophosphamide and Fludarabine in people with Thalassemia Major, run by First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yongrong Lai, MD (+86(0771)5356510, laiyongrong@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall Survival (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 May 2017.
