First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026 · Updated 23 times

Summary

This study tests whether special immune cells called veto cells can help donor stem cells grow in patients with blood cancers after a transplant, without causing severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). About 16 patients aged 12-75 will receive these cells alongside standard chemotherapy and radiation. The goal is to find a safe dose that improves survival and reduces complications.
