NCT ID NCT03779854

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study tests a new way to prevent chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in children and young adults with blood cancers who receive a donor stem cell transplant. Researchers remove a specific type of immune cell (naive T cells) from the donor cells before transplant to reduce the risk of the donor cells attacking the patient's body. The trial enrolls 68 participants and aims to see if this approach is feasible and improves outcomes like survival without GVHD or relapse.
