Race for a better cure: transplant vs. drugs for young blood disease patients

NCT ID NCT05600426

Ongoing Disease control Sponsor: Boston Children's Hospital Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This study compares two standard treatments for children and young adults with severe aplastic anemia, a rare disease where the body stops making enough blood cells. Researchers want to see if starting with a bone marrow transplant from an unrelated donor works better than starting with immune-suppressing drugs. The trial will measure which treatment keeps patients alive and free from treatment failure longer, while also tracking quality of life and side effects.
