NCT ID NCT03232268

First seen Mar 22, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 9 times

Summary

This study tested a new type of transplant for 25 people with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndromes who could not have a standard bone marrow transplant. Instead of using strong immune-suppressing drugs, doctors gave a small number of blood stem cells from a partially matched family donor. The main goal was to see if this approach could avoid a serious side effect called graft-versus-host disease.
