Cell Selection for Bone Marrow Transplants to Prevent Graft-Versus-Host-Disease
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC), September 2009
First Received: November 3, 1999   Last Updated: November 13, 2009   History of Changes
Sponsor: National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI)
Information provided by: National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC)
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00001872
  Purpose

Blood contains different kinds of cells, white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. In order to treat certain diseases, specific cell types can be removed from blood and transplanted into patients. The process of removing white blood cells for the treatment of leukemia is called apheresis.

This study will make available blood cell collections from volunteers genetically matched to various degrees with recipients in order to test and, if necessary, refine the process of removing white blood cell T-lymphocytes.
