New hope to tame dangerous side effect of Life-Saving transplants
NCT ID NCT02356159
Summary
This study tested if a drug called palifermin, given before a stem cell transplant, could make the procedure safer and more effective. It involved 34 adults with blood cancers who received stem cells from an unrelated, matched donor. The main goals were to find a safe dose and see if the drug could reduce a serious complication where donor cells attack the patient's body and improve immune system recovery.
