Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the personalization the conditioning regimen prior to the hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) in children and adolescents, to improve HSCT efficacy while reducing conditioning-related toxicities. Namely, we are going to compare the accuracy of two methods for determining the first dose of busulfan, one of the medicines used during the conditioning regimen. First doses will be determined based either only on anthropometric information such as age and weight or by adding a genetic factor that influences the individual ability of busulfan metabolization.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Participants will be randomly assigned (1:1 ratio, stratified by conditioning regimen - the presence of fludarabine) to receive their first dose of busulfan according to:

1. the most performing method based on age and weight - McCune's model (control arm)
2. a method that also considers a pharmacogenetic factor (variants occurring in the promoter region of the GSTA1 gene) in association with the co-administered chemotherapeutic agent fludarabine in the dose personalization (experimental arm)

This is an international study being carried out in five countries (Canada, Italy, Switzerland, France, and Denmark).
