First seen Mar 29, 2026 · Last updated Apr 12, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tested a new type of stem cell transplant for people with high-risk multiple myeloma, a serious blood cancer. Doctors used specially treated umbilical cord blood cells for the transplant, hoping this would reduce severe side effects while still fighting the cancer. The main goals were to see if the procedure was safe and to measure how well patients' immune systems recovered afterward.
