First step toward a cure? stem cell harvesting trial launches for rare platelet disorder

NCT ID NCT06414889

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 1 trial at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center is testing whether it is safe to collect stem cells from people with RUNX1 familial platelet disorder, a rare inherited condition that raises the risk of bleeding and leukemia. Four participants will receive drugs to mobilize stem cells, which are then collected through a procedure called apheresis. The goal is simply to see if the collection process is safe and feasible, not yet to treat the disorder.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
G-CSF (filgrastim) and plerixafor
What this could lead to
If successful, this could enable future gene therapy or stem cell treatments for this rare bleeding disorder.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small trial with only 4 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The stem cell collection process carries risks like infection or bleeding.
