New hope for rare genetic disorder: tailored chemo before stem cell transplant

NCT ID NCT07316595

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a lower dose of the chemotherapy drug treosulfan, given before a stem cell transplant, can help people with Nijmegen breakage syndrome. The condition causes immune problems and a high risk of cancer. The trial will enroll 24 patients, giving a lower dose to those without cancer and a higher dose to those with cancer, aiming to improve survival and reduce complications.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Treosulfan (a chemotherapy drug)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could make stem cell transplants safer and more effective for people with Nijmegen breakage syndrome, potentially reducing the risk of graft rejection and cancer relapse.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 24 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug is still experimental for this condition, and there are risks of serious side effects like graft-versus-host disease or organ toxicity.
