First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study collects blood stem cells from healthy volunteers after they receive a growth factor injection. Researchers aim to develop better methods to remove the white blood cells that cause graft-versus-host disease, a serious complication of bone marrow transplants. Up to 500 volunteers aged 18-60 will participate to help improve transplant safety.
