Summary

This trial is testing the side effects and feasibility of a new way to give total body radiation therapy (IMRT) with the chemotherapy drug cyclophosphamide before stem cell transplant to treat severe systemic sclerosis.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for severe systemic sclerosis patients with good organ function and performance status, who can undergo total body irradiation (TBI) as part of a stem cell transplant. Participants must use birth control and be able to consent. Excluded are those with uncontrolled illnesses, prior radiation therapy without PI approval, or pregnant women due to potential harm.
What is being tested?
The study tests the combination of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and cyclophosphamide before a stem cell transplant in treating severe systemic sclerosis. IMRT aims to precisely target the body while sparing normal organs from excessive radiation exposure.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include damage to sensitive organs despite precise targeting by IMRT, typical chemotherapy-related issues like nausea, hair loss, fatigue from cyclophosphamide, and complications related to stem cell transplantation such as infection risk.
