Could a fixed T-Cell dose make stem cell transplants safer?

NCT ID NCT00959140

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether giving a fixed number of CD3+ T cells (a type of immune cell) during stem cell transplants from sibling donors leads to more predictable outcomes. Researchers want to see if standardizing the dose reduces variation in complications like graft-versus-host disease. The trial involves 20 patients aged 19 and older.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

CD3+ T cell depletion (device-based cell selection)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could make stem cell transplants more predictable and reduce complications like graft-versus-host disease.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The procedure carries risks including infection and graft failure.
