A Phase 1/2 interventional study of RIC and GVHD prophylaxis in HIV and Hematologic Malignancies, sponsored by National Cancer Institute (NCI). Recruiting at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 12 Years to 120 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-11-09.
Sponsored by National Cancer Institute (NCI) · Phase 1/2, Interventional, and Treatment
Background:
People living with HIV(PLWH) are at a higher risk for cancers that may be curable with a bone marrow transplant. HIV infection itself is no longer a reason to not get a transplant, for patients who otherwise have a standard reason to need transplant.
Objective:
This study is being done to see if a new combination of drugs (cyclophosphamide, maraviroc, and bortezomib) is both safe and effective at protecting against graft-versus-host disease after bone marrow transplant. The study will also test the transplant s impact on your survival and control of your cancer.
Eligibility:
People aged 18 years and older living with HIV and a blood cancer that is eligible for a transplant. Healthy family members aged 12 or older who are half matched to transplant recipients are also needed to donate bone marrow.
Design:
The study will be done in 2 phases. The first phase will be to see if we can safely use a new combination of drugs to prevent GVHD. If the combination is safe in the first phase, the study will proceed to the second phase. In the second phase, we will see if this new combination can better protect against GVHD after transplant.
Participants will be screened. Their diagnoses, organ function and eligibility will be confirmed.
Participants will have a catheter inserted into a vein in their chest or neck. Medications and transfusions will be given through the catheter; blood will be drawn from it.
Participants will be in the hospital for 6 weeks or longer.
They will receive various drugs for 2 weeks to prep their body for the transplant.
The transplant cells will be administered through the catheter.
Participants will continue to receive drug treatments after the transplant.
Blood transfusions may also be needed.
Participants will return 1-2 times per week for follow-up visits for 3 months after discharge.
Participants will have visits 6, 12, 18, 24 months after transplant, then once a year for 5 years.
Background:
Agents used to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) include post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy), maraviroc, and bortezomib
Objective:
Eligibility:
Design:
GVHD prophylaxis will consist of PTCy 50 mg/kg/day IV on days plus 3 and plus 4, bortezomib 1.3 mg/m\^2 IV in 2 doses at 6 and 72 hours after graft infusion for all participants. The phase I will include 2 dose levels of de-escalated maraviroc

Participants must have a or cytologically confirmed hematologic with standard indication for hematopoietic cell transplantation including, but not limited to, one of the following:
In addition to standard indications for HCT: Participant with a hematologic malignancy eligible for consolidation of first remission with autologous transplantation, if autologous transplantation is not accessible to the participant.
seropositive, with ART regimen that, when stable for >4 weeks, is associated with an HIV viral load \<400 copies/mL at screening evaluations. Subsequent changes to avoid/optimize drug interactions with study drugs or essential supportive care drugs may be made to the ART regimen at any time during the eligibility assessment period, as long as the eligibility criteria were met and the regimen change is expected, by the study team and involved consultants/pharmacy, to be similarly effective for HIV control. These changes to the ART regimen are not part of the study. If changes to the ART regimen are made during the eligibility period, HIV viral load will be rechecked at least 1 week after the change but prior to protocol treatment consent.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).
Your pathology report is the document that shows this.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
Stem cell (bone marrow) transplants. Allogeneic uses cells from a donor; autologous uses your own cells, collected earlier and given back.
Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.
A line of therapy is one course of treatment, which may combine several drugs. First-line is the first course given; second-line follows when that stops working or is not tolerated.
“Two prior lines” means two courses that count separately under the study’s rules — not simply two drugs. Ask the study team if you are unsure how yours are counted.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
A 0–100 scale of how well someone can carry out everyday activities. 100 is no complaints and no signs of illness; 70 is able to look after yourself but not to work or keep up normal activity; 50 is needing considerable help and frequent medical care.
Studies often ask for 60 or 70 and above. Your doctor gives the score.
The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.
The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).
A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.
Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.
Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.
Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.
GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².
Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
The US National Cancer Institute’s scale of how severe an adverse event is — any unwanted medical event during a study, such as a symptom, an illness or an abnormal test result, whether or not a treatment caused it. Whether it did is judged separately.
“Side effects of earlier treatment resolved to grade 1 or less” means they have settled to mild or gone.

Started Jan 2023 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jul 2027, 54 months after the start.
Of 64 phase 1/2 interventional studies under Hematologic Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 76 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 51 and three quarters within 127. This study's planned 54 months is below that.
How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.
