Experimental stem cell therapy tested for deadly transplant complication

NCT ID NCT03158896

Summary

This early-stage study tested the safety of stem cells from umbilical cords for treating severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a dangerous complication that can occur after a bone marrow transplant. The study involved 24 adults who developed severe GVHD that didn't respond to standard steroid treatment. Researchers gave participants one of two dose levels of these special stem cells to see if they were safe and might help control the disease.
