Summary

This study tested whether replacing a standard transplant drug (cyclophosphamide) with a different drug (bendamustine) could make half-matched bone marrow transplants safer for people with blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. About 50 patients took part. The goal was to reduce side effects like graft-versus-host disease while still controlling the cancer.
