New stem cell method shows promise for young blood cancer patients
NCT ID NCT02600208
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new way to do stem cell transplants for children and young adults (up to age 22) with blood cancers like leukemia. Doctors remove certain immune cells from donated stem cells to lower the risk of graft-versus-host disease, a serious complication. The goal is to see if this approach helps the new cells grow and keeps patients cancer-free for at least one year.
