NCT ID NCT05031897

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 34 times

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests a two-step stem cell transplant using lower doses of radiation and chemotherapy before the transplant. The goal is to reduce treatment-related deaths in people with various blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. About 63 participants will receive this modified approach to see if it is safer than standard transplants.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, total-body irradiation, donor lymphocyte infusion

What this could lead to

If successful, this approach could lower the risk of death from the transplant itself, making stem cell transplants safer for people with blood cancers.

What could go wrong

This is a mid-stage trial with only 63 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. There is still a risk of relapse or serious side effects from the transplant.
