Trial tests aggressive stem cell treatment for rare blood cancer

NCT ID NCT02844361

Summary

This study aimed to see if a patient's own stem cells, collected and transplanted back after high-dose chemotherapy, works better than standard chemotherapy alone for people with high-risk Waldenström macroglobulinemia, a rare blood cancer. It involved 70 patients in China who had responded partially to initial treatment. The main goal was to compare how long patients lived without their cancer getting worse between the two treatment approaches.
