Summary

This study tested a new version of the chemotherapy drug melphalan (EVOMELA) combined with fludarabine and total body irradiation before a half-matched (haploidentical) stem cell transplant in 43 adults with blood cancers like multiple myeloma. The goal was to see if this approach is safe and helps patients live longer without their cancer getting worse. Results showed the treatment was generally safe, with serious side effects monitored, and one-year progression-free survival was evaluated.
