NCT ID NCT04103879

First seen Apr 02, 2026 · Last updated Apr 26, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tested a method to grow more stem cells from a single cord blood unit before transplant in 30 people with high-risk leukemia or myelodysplasia. The goal was to help the new cells take hold faster and reduce serious side effects. Early results suggest this approach may improve survival and lower complications, but lifelong monitoring is still needed.
