Overview

Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) is the effective and even the only treatment for hematological malignancies. The "GIAC" protocol established by our center has successfully crossed the HLA barrier in HLA-mismatched/haploidentical HSCT. The protocol entails the following: treating donors with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) to induce donor immune tolerance, intensified immunologic suppression to both promote engraftment and to prevent GVHD, antithymocyte globulin (ATG) was included for the prophylaxis of GVHD and graft rejection, and combination of G-CSF-primed bone marrow harvest (G-BM) and G-CSF-mobilized peripheral blood stem cell harvest (G-PB) as the source of stem cell grafts. But peripheral blood transplantation is still prevalent. Compared with BM, G-PB is more convenient to collect, and the number of T lymphocytes and CD34+ cells is higher. It is reported that G-PB has a higher implantation rate and even a higher disease-free survival rate in sibiling-identical transplantation compared with BM transplantation, whereas there were also reports with different conclusions. This prospective, one-arm clinical cohort study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of haplotype peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) in the treatment of acute leukemia.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
