NCT ID NCT04854889

First seen Feb 12, 2026 · Last updated May 04, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This study tested a low-dose chemotherapy drug called decitabine in people with a severe type of anemia (aplastic anemia) that did not get better with standard treatments. The goal was to see if the drug could improve blood cell counts. Only 3 people were enrolled before the study was stopped early, so the results are very limited.
