Full Title
Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant for Hematological Cancers and Myelodysplastic Syndromes in HIV-Infected Individuals (BMT CTN 0903/AMC-080)
Purpose
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation involves the donation of stem cells from a donor to a patient to help the patient’s body build a healthy blood-forming system. It is commonly used to treat patients with hematologic cancers (such as lymphoma, leukemia, and myelodysplastic syndromes) that have returned or continue to grow despite chemotherapy and other treatments.
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation carries with it a risk of infection, and therefore has not been well-studied in patients with HIV. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in HIV-infected patients with hematologic cancers that cannot be cured with chemotherapy.
