First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 05, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This study tests a new way to calculate the dose of the chemotherapy drug melphalan for people with lymphoma who are about to have a stem cell transplant. Instead of using a standard dose based on height and weight, researchers use a model that considers how previous patients processed the drug, aiming to give each person the right amount to be effective but with fewer side effects. The study includes 39 adults aged 18-79 with various lymphoma types who are already scheduled for this treatment.
