New hope for blood cancer patients lacking perfect donor matches
NCT ID NCT01203722
Summary
This study tested a less intense bone marrow transplant for people with serious blood cancers who did not have a perfectly matched donor available. It used donors who were not close relatives or were only a partial match, combined with specific immune-suppressing drugs after the transplant. The main goals were to see if this approach could control the cancer while keeping serious complications like graft-versus-host disease at an acceptable level.
