Phase 2/3

This study looks at how safe and effective a medicine called Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT) is in preventing a disease called graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). GVHD happens when transplanted cells attack the body. Participants in this study are patients who receive a type of transplant called hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) for blood-related cancers like leukemia or lymphoma. Some patients will get AAT, and some will get a placebo, which is a treatment with no active medicine, to see which works better. The study is "double-blind," meaning neither the doctors nor the patients know who is getting AAT or the placebo to ensure fair results.

  • The study involves multiple visits and is conducted at several locations.
  • Participants will be randomly assigned to groups, and the study is expected to last several months.
  • There may be risks involved, as with any medical study, and participants must meet specific health criteria to join.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
