Morning vs evening shots: which boosts stem cell donation?
NCT ID NCT07423728
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether giving a daily G-CSF shot in the morning or evening helps healthy stem cell donors produce more cells for transplant. About 160 donors will be randomly assigned to receive the shot at 8 AM or 8 PM for 5 days. The goal is to find a simple schedule that makes donation easier and more effective.
