New hope for CGD: stem cell transplant trial aims for a cure

NCT ID NCT05463133

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether adding certain drugs to a stem cell transplant can cure chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), a condition that weakens the immune system. About 50 people aged 4 to 65 with CGD will receive donor stem cells after a special drug and radiation regimen. The goal is to improve survival and reduce infections over 5 years of follow-up.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

stem cell transplant with drugs (alemtuzumab, busulfan, cyclophosphamide, sirolimus, and cytokine blockers)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a cure for chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) by making stem cell transplants safer and more effective.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The transplant and drugs carry risks like infection, graft-versus-host disease, and organ damage.
