New radiation technique tested to improve stem cell transplants for tough blood cancers

NCT ID NCT03494569

Summary

This early-stage study aims to find the safest and most effective dose of a targeted radiation treatment, given with chemotherapy, to prepare patients for a donor stem cell transplant. It is for people with high-risk forms of acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome who are not eligible for standard high-intensity treatments. The goal is to better control the cancer and help the donor cells successfully rebuild the patient's blood and immune system.
