NCT ID NCT01746849

Summary

This study is testing whether two drugs, palifermin and leuprolide acetate, can help a patient's immune system recover more quickly after receiving a stem cell transplant from a donor. The transplant is for patients with blood cancers like leukemia or lymphoma. Researchers want to see if this approach reduces infections and improves outcomes by helping the body rebuild its defenses faster.
