Brief Summary
Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) has been used in severe aplastic anemia as a part of the
conditioning regimen. Among the many kinds of ATG preparations, thymoglobulin had been found
to be more effective in preventing graft versus host disease (GVHD) and rejection of organ
transplants. As the fludarabine based conditioning regimens without total body irradiation
have been reported to be promising for transplantation from alternative donors in SAA,
thymoglobulin was added to fludarabine and cyclophosphamide conditioning to reduce GVHD and
to allow good engraftment in unrelated donor transplantation. Our previous phase II study of
fludarabine, cyclophosphamide plus thymoglobulin conditioning resulted in good engraftment
(100%) and survival rate (74%). But grade III/IV toxicities occurred in 25% of patients and
all events were treatment related mortalities. As cyclophosphamide is more toxic agent than
fludarabine, we plan a new phase II study re; 'reduced toxicity fludarabine, cyclophosphamide
plus thymoglobulin conditioning regimen for unrelated donor transplantation in severe
aplastic anemia' by reducing dosage of cyclophosphamide and increasing dosage of fludarabine.

Conditions
Conditions usually refer to a disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury. In ClinicalTrials.gov,
conditions include any health issue worth studying, such as lifespan, quality of life, health risks, etc.
Interventions
Interventions refer to the drug, vaccine, procedure, device, or other potential treatment being studied.
Interventions can also include less intrusive possibilities such as surveys, education, and interviews.
Study Phase
Most clinical trials are designated as phase 1, 2, 3, or 4, based on the type of questions
that study is seeking to answer:
In Phase 1 (Phase I) clinical trials, researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people (20-80) for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
In Phase 2 (Phase II) clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people (100-300) to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
In Phase 3 (Phase III) clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to large groups of people (1,000-3,000) to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
In Phase 4 (Phase IV) clinical trials, post marketing studies delineate additional information including the drug's risks, benefits, and optimal use.
These phases are defined by the Food and Drug Administration in the Code of Federal Regulations.
