Multi-institutional Prospective Pilot Research of Imaging and Blood Biomarker EValuation of Engraftment After ALlogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
University of Oklahoma
Summary
The purpose of this study is to find new tests that could help determine if the newly infused bone marrow cells are growing well after bone marrow transplantation or if new bone marrow cells are needed. The Investigator will use FLT imaging, an investigational imaging test, and collect blood samples to investigate whether the cells are growing well.
Description
This is a prospective pilot study with primary aim of determining whether investigational FLT imaging can detect and distinguish nonengraftment from delayed engraftment after HSCT in populations at highest risk for graft failure. The investigator will enroll up to 56 patients to achieve 50 evaluable patients undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation on this trial \[5 pediatric and adult recipients of cord blood stem cells (Arm A1), 15 pediatric and adult recipients of myeloablative haplo-identical HSCT (Arm A2), 10 pediatric and adult recipients of reduced intensity haplo-identical HSCT (A…
