Life-Saving bridge: new transplant method offers hope when no perfect donor exists

NCT ID NCT01881334

Summary

This program provides expanded access to a special two-part stem cell transplant for patients with high-risk blood cancers or genetic disorders who cannot find a perfectly matched donor. It uses stem cells from a partially matched family member to provide a temporary 'bridge' while waiting for a more permanent transplant from donated umbilical cord blood to take hold. The goal is to help patients recover faster and reduce the risk of serious infections after the transplant.
