Trial summary

The goal of this observational study is to assess the risk of viral infections in patients receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from a haploidentical donor compared to those who receive HSCT from a HLA-matched donor. Read more about this study

About this study

The goal of this observational study is to assess the risk of viral infections in patients receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from a haploidentical donor compared to those who receive HSCT from a HLA-matched donor. The main question it aims to answer is: to describe which viruses are replicating in the blood of the above two patient groups on the day of transplantation and at 1, 3 and 6 months after transplantation. Blood samples taken as part of routine care on the day of transplantation and at 1, 3 and 6 months post-transplantation visits are analyzed and the types and amount of viruses detected in the two groups of patients are described.

Read the detailed description

Geneva University Hospitals are one of the three centers performing allogeneic HSCT in Switzerland. Since several years the Division of infectious diseases runs a collaborative research program with the Division of Hematology. In 2015 the two divisions jointly created a prospective cohort of allo-HSCT patients called: "Infectious diseases in hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients cohort" enrolling potentially all adult patients engrafted in our center since 2015 (CCER protocol 15-120 and relative amendments). The cohort compiles clinical data on hematological and infectious complications occurring up to one year after transplantation and biological specimen collected systematically until up to 2 years after transplantation, which are stored in a joint biobank.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT05622032
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
haploidentical HSCT patientsPatients receiving HSCT from a haploidentical donor. They also receive a treatment called cyclophosphamide as part of the protocol to prevent graft versus host disease at day 3 and 4 after transplantation.
HLA-matched HSCT patientsPatients who receive HSCT from a HLA-matched donor.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Describe the blood virome in haploidentical and HLA-matched allo-HSCT recipients during the first 6 months after transplantation.

    Describe the types of viruses detected as well as their frequency in the blood virome of haplo- HSCT patients compared to the HLA-matched group by metagenomic next generation sequencing

    Measured: 6 months after transplantation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Haploidentical Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation, run by Laurent Kaiser at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Apr 2025. 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 Switzerland. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Describe the blood virome in haploidentical and HLA-matched allo-HSCT recipients during the first 6 months after transplantation. (time frame: 6 months after transplantation). 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 2 Apr 2025.
