Research Sponsored by National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Pulmonary function tests: DLco (corrected for hemoglobin) and FEV1 greater than or equal to 40% of predicted for the RIC arm, and greater than or equal to 30% predicted for the IOC arm; or in pediatric patients, if unable to perform pulmonary function tests, there should be no evidence of dyspnea at rest, no requirement for supplemental oxygen, and oxygen saturation >92% on room air. Calculations will be based on the USA-ITS-NIH reference.
Estimated creatinine clearance of greater than or equal to 50 mL/min/1.73 m2, calculated using eGFR in the clinical lab for adults and the Schwartz formula for pediatrics.
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up 1, 3, and 5 years post transplant

Summary

This trial is testing if a stem cell transplant can cure or control lymphoma and if new ways of getting a recipient ready for a transplant may result in fewer problems and side effects.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 12+ with a type of blood cancer called peripheral T cell lymphoma that hasn't improved with standard treatments. Healthy adults over 18 can be donors if they're related to someone with the condition. Participants need functioning major organs and a matched donor based on specific genetic markers.
What is being tested?
The study tests whether stem cell transplants can cure or control lymphoma, and if new preparation methods reduce complications. Recipients will undergo screening, receive chemotherapy or antibody therapy, get the transplant via catheter, and take medications post-transplant while being closely monitored.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions to infusions like fever or chills, risk of infection from lowered immunity due to chemotherapy, possible organ inflammation from antibody therapy, discomfort from bone marrow biopsy procedures, and general fatigue after treatment.
