New transplant recipe may tame Graft-Versus-Host disease in blood cancer patients

NCT ID NCT02861417

First seen Feb 19, 2026 · Last updated Jun 13, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study tests a specific timing of chemotherapy drugs (busulfan and fludarabine) before a donor stem cell transplant, followed by cyclophosphamide after the transplant, to treat high-risk blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. The goal is to reduce the chance of the transplant attacking the patient's body (graft-versus-host disease) while still killing cancer cells. About 204 participants will be enrolled to see if this approach lowers the risk of death from non-relapse causes.
