What to Expect as a Participant

You will actively receive the study intervention — which may be a drug, biologic, device, or procedure.

In Phase 2, researchers evaluate early signs of effectiveness. You may be randomized to receive the active treatment or a comparator. Monitoring continues closely.

This trial targets 114 participants in total. It began in 2019-02-04 with a primary completion date of 2033-11-01.

Brief Summary

The present project aims at comparing two conditioning regimens (FM-PTCy vs FM-ATG). The hypothesis is that one or the two regimens will lead to a 2-year cGRFS rate improvement from 30% (the cGRFS rate with FM without ATG/PTCy) to 45% (Pick-a-winner phase 2 randomized study).
