Half-Matched stem cell transplant offers hope for children with rare immune and metabolic diseases
NCT ID NCT04414046
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new type of stem cell transplant for children with primary immune deficiencies or inherited metabolic disorders. The transplant uses stem cells from a half-matched family donor, which are specially processed to remove certain immune cells. The goal is to see if this method is safe and effective at restoring a healthy immune system and improving the child's condition.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- TCR alpha beta T-cell and CD19 B-cell depleted haploidentical stem cell transplant
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could offer a safer, more effective transplant option for children with severe immune or metabolic diseases who lack a fully matched donor.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study, so results may not apply broadly. Risks include graft failure, infection, or graft-versus-host disease, and long-term outcomes are unknown.
