Can a simple blood test and walk test forecast transplant survival?
NCT ID NCT07769151
First seen Aug 17, 2026 · Last updated Aug 18, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is investigating whether a combination of blood tests and physical function assessments, done before a stem cell transplant or cell therapy, can predict the risk of non-relapse mortality (death from causes other than the disease itself). Participants will have standard blood tests and physical function evaluations, plus an extra blood draw to measure a marker called CXCL9. The goal is to see if these measures can help identify patients who may be at higher risk, potentially improving pre-transplant planning and care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- blood sample to check CXCL9 and physical function tests (IADL, hand grip, walk test)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors identify patients at higher risk of non-relapse mortality before stem cell transplant, allowing for better preparation and personalized care.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small study, and the predictive value of these tests is uncertain. The results may not apply to all patient groups, and the tests might not accurately predict outcomes.
