Summary

This study tested a two-step stem cell transplant using a drug called cyclophosphamide to lower the risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in people with high-risk blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. 47 patients received a transplant from a matched sibling donor. The goal was to see if more than 60% of patients would survive at least one year after the transplant. The approach aims to improve survival by making the transplant safer.
