NCT ID NCT01526096

First seen Nov 06, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This early-phase study looked at whether it is safe and possible to remove a specific type of immune cell (regulatory T cells) in 30 people with multiple myeloma who were getting a stem cell transplant using their own cells. The goal was to see if this removal could be done effectively and to monitor any side effects, like graft-versus-host disease. The study focused on understanding the process and safety, not on curing the disease.
