Stem cell hope for leukemia patients
NCT ID NCT00931645
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a stem cell transplant can help people under 65 with untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) live longer without their cancer getting worse. 241 participants received either standard treatment or a transplant. The main goal was to see how long the disease stayed under control. While the transplant may delay progression, it is not a cure because patients still need ongoing monitoring and possible future treatments.
