Summary

This study tests whether replacing a standard immune-suppressing drug with tocilizumab can improve stem cell transplant success in 21 adults with blood cancers. The goal is to prevent graft failure and graft-versus-host disease while reducing cancer relapse. Participants receive a haplo-cord transplant, combining cells from a half-matched donor and umbilical cord blood.
