Could cousins be as good as siblings for stem cell donation?

NCT ID NCT07662382

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether using a cousin as a stem cell donor works as well as using a sibling for people with blood cancers. Researchers will compare survival, relapse, and side effects like graft-versus-host disease in patients who received a transplant from either a cousin or a sibling. The goal is to see if cousin donors can be a reliable option when a sibling is not available.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

What this could lead to

If cousin donors prove as good as siblings, it could expand the donor pool for stem cell transplants, helping more patients find a match.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be influenced by other factors. It also looks at past data, which may not predict future outcomes.
