New drug tested to make risky cancer transplants safer

NCT ID NCT04395222

Summary

This study is testing if a drug called tocilizumab can be used instead of another standard drug during a specific type of bone marrow transplant. The goal is to help patients' new immune systems recover faster and reduce serious complications like graft failure and graft-versus-host disease. It is for adults with blood cancers who need a transplant but lack a perfectly matched donor.
