Could removing certain immune cells prevent a deadly transplant complication?

NCT ID NCT03779854

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 30, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests whether removing a specific type of immune cell (naive T cells) from donor stem cells can prevent chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in children and young adults with blood cancers. GVHD occurs when donor cells attack the patient's body after a stem cell transplant. The trial aims to see if this approach is safe and effective, with about 68 participants receiving either the modified cells or standard care.
