Can a lower drug dose make stem cell transplants safer?

NCT ID NCT07719946

First seen Jul 22, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial investigates whether giving a reduced dose of the drug cyclophosphamide after a half-matched stem cell transplant can prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) while causing fewer side effects. The standard dose often leads to infections and slow immune recovery. Researchers will give 20 adults with blood cancers half the usual dose and monitor how well it controls GVHD and how quickly their immune system bounces back.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a lower dose of the drug cyclophosphamide (25 mg/kg/day) given on days 3 and 4 after transplant
What this could lead to
If successful, this could make half-matched stem cell transplants safer by reducing infections and helping the immune system recover faster.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-arm trial with only 20 participants and no comparison group. The lower dose may turn out to be less effective at preventing graft-versus-host disease.
