Can a broccoli compound help leukemia patients recover faster after transplant?
NCT ID NCT07297576
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether sulforaphane, a compound found in broccoli sprouts, can help blood cells recover faster after a cord blood transplant in adults with leukemia or related blood cancers. The trial will involve 36 patients and focus on safety and how quickly neutrophils (a type of white blood cell) return. If successful, it could make long-frozen cord blood a more reliable option for transplant.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
sulforaphane (a dietary supplement found in broccoli sprouts)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help patients recover blood cells faster after a cord blood transplant, making long-frozen cord blood more usable.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small study with only 36 people. It may not show clear benefits, and sulforaphane could cause side effects or not improve recovery at all.
