Lower chemo dose may prevent transplant complications
NCT ID NCT07319000
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a low dose of the drug cyclophosphamide, given after a stem cell transplant, can prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) — a common and serious complication where donor cells attack the patient's body. The trial involved 35 adults with various blood diseases who received a transplant from a related donor. The goal was to see if the low dose could keep severe GVHD rates low while helping blood cells recover faster.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- cyclophosphamide
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a safer way to prevent graft-versus-host disease after stem cell transplants, with faster blood cell recovery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 35 participants. The low dose may not be as effective as standard doses, and results may not apply to all patients.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age \>18 years. * Both genders. * Diagnosis of any blood disease in need of an allogeneic bone marrow transplant (aplastic anemia, acute myeloid leukemia, chronic granulocytic leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, Hodgkin lymphoma, and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma). * Patients who have compatible related donors to perform an identical or haploidentical allogeneic transplant. * Patients with functional status 0 to 2 using the ECOG scale. Exclusion Criteria: * Poor functional status (ECOG\>2). * Organic dysfunction (Marshall score ≥2). * Pregnancy * Heart failure (NYHA III or IV). * Renal failure (GFR \<30 ml/min/1.72m2). * History of ventricular arrhythmias or uncontrolled arrhythmias. * Acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina, or stable angina in the last six months. * Uncontrolled active infection. * Liver disease (Child-Pugh C). * Patients not approved by the local transplant committee for any other reason.
