New hope for sickle cell patients blocked from transplants

NCT ID NCT06358638

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 09, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study is testing if adding a drug called daratumumab before a bone marrow transplant from a matched sibling can safely help children and young adults with severe sickle cell disease who are usually excluded from this treatment. These patients are excluded because their immune system has antibodies that attack the donor's red blood cells, which can cause serious complications. The goal is to see if this approach allows successful transplants with outcomes similar to patients without these antibodies.
