4 Dyskeratosis Congenita Trials

Power is an online platform that helps thousands of Dyskeratosis Congenita patients discover FDA-reviewed trials every day. Every trial we feature meets safety and ethical standards, giving patients an easy way to discover promising new treatments in the research stage.

This trial tests a new bone marrow transplant method for patients with Dyskeratosis congenita. It uses fludarabine and antibodies to avoid harmful side effects, aiming to improve survival and reduce complications. Fludarabine-based regimens have been shown to be effective and feasible in reducing transplant-related morbidity in patients with Dyskeratosis congenita.

40 Participants Needed
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of using a reduced-intensity condition (RIC) regimen with umbilical cord blood transplant (UCBT), double cord UCBT, matched unrelated donor (MUD) bone marrow transplant (BMT) or peripheral blood stem cell transplant (PBSCT) in patients with non-malignant disorders that are amenable to treatment with hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). After transplant, subjects will be followed for late effects and for ongoing graft success.

100 Participants Needed
Fludarabine-based preparative regimen followed by an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant using related or unrelated donor in persons 0-70 years of age diagnosed with dyskeratosis congenita or severe aplastic anemia who have bone marrow failure characterized by a requirement for red blood cell and platelet transfusions. Three different preparative regimens are included based on disease and donor type.

TCD HCT for Fanconi Anemia

Minneapolis, Minnesota
This is a phase II trial of T cell receptor alpha/beta depletion (α/β TCD) peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation in patients with inherited bone marrow failure (BMF) disorders to eliminate the need for routine graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) immune suppression leading to earlier immune recovery and potentially a reduction in the risk of severe infections after transplantation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Dyskeratosis Congenita clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Dyskeratosis Congenita clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Dyskeratosis Congenita trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Dyskeratosis Congenita is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Dyskeratosis Congenita medical study ?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Dyskeratosis Congenita clinical trials ?

Most recently, we added TCD HCT for Fanconi Anemia, Stem Cell Transplant for Aplastic Anemia and Reduced-Intensity Stem Cell Transplant for Non-Malignant Disorders to the Power online platform.
