Other Clinical Trial - BMT & High Dose Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective of this study is to assess the ability of bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and high-dose post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PT/Cy) to induce renal allograft tolerance and thus enable discontinuation of immunosuppressive therapy in haploidentical living related donor renal transplant recipients.

Clinical Trial Description

Transplantation is a good treatment for people with end-stage kidney disease. However, there is still much to learn about how to best care for the transplanted kidney and keep it working for a long time. Unless a person receiving a kidney from someone else takes drugs that reduce immune function, the kidney will be rejected. Those drugs must be continued life-long and cause many issues. Therefore, tolerance of the transplanted kidney, without chronic rejection and without the need for permanent immunosuppressive drug treatment, is a highly desirable goal. If this can be achieved, it would make "one kidney for life" possible.

The study treatment includes several days of study medications followed by a kidney and bone marrow transplant. After the transplant, the study treatment will continue with a few more doses of study medications and then anti-rejection medication is started. After a while, the anti-rejection medication is slowly stopped. Researchers will examine blood and tissue samples and try to identify genetic markers for certain conditions like chimerism, response to therapy, and tolerance.

*** IMPORTANT NOTICE: *** The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the Immune Tolerance Network do not recommend the discontinuation of immunosuppressive therapy for recipients of cell, organ, or tissue transplants outside of physician-directed, controlled clinical studies. Discontinuation of prescribed immunosuppressive therapy can result in serious health consequences and should only be performed in certain rare circumstances, upon the recommendation and with the guidance of your health care provider. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
