Retrospective Study of Viral Reactivation Across All Bone Marrow Transplant Protocols Since 2010

May 29, 2026 updated by: National Cancer Institute (NCI)

Background:

Some blood and immune disorders can be helped with HSCT. This is allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The person who gets the stem cells has their immune system suppressed. This is done to help prevent their body from rejecting the transplant. During this time, the person is at a high risk to get viral infections. Researchers want to study the records of people who had transplants a few years ago. They want to look at how often certain viral complications happened.

Objective:

To study how often certain viral complications occurred after HSCT and what risks factors were involved.

Eligibility:

Records will be reviewed. No participants will be contacted.

Design:

Researchers will review medical records from the NIH Clinical Center.

The records will be from people who had HSCT between 2010 and 2015 when they were between 4 and 85 years old. They already gave consent for their data to be studied.

Data collected will include:

Vital statistics like age and sex

Viral status of the recipient and donor

Reason for transplant

Transplant details

How the immune system recovered after transplant

If the recipient got graft versus host disease

Any infections

Overall survival

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

This protocol is a retrospective chart review of patients who have underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) at the NIH Clinical Center. If this proposal is approved, BTRIS will identify and populate the patients in these protocols, and BTRIS identified reports will be used going forward.

BTRIS identified reports will be used to review patient progress notes, all aspects of the transplant platform, as well as viral titers over the course of each patient s follow-up, supplemented by review of paper or CRIS electronic medical records as needed.

The study will involve review of patient records and will not use specimens or participant contact. The participants whose records will be reviewed in this protocol were enrolled in NIH protocols between 2010 and December 1, 2020. BTRIS policy requires approval from Principal Investigators on certain protocols. These Principal Investigators have been contacted via email for permission to conduct this study and have verified that none of the original protocols or informed consent documents precludes such a review of clinical data.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

4 years to 85 years (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To determine the incidence and risk factors for various viral complications by HSCT platform and its relation to immune reconstitution.
Time Frame: 1 year
Incidence and risk factors for various viral complications by HSCT platform and its relation to immune reconstitution.
1 year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
incidence of late CMV, EBV, BK cystitis, adenovirus, HHV6 encephalitis, JC virus, and CNS disease

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure.

For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
