Gentler transplant offers hope for blood disorders without cancer
NCT ID NCT00920972
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is testing a milder type of stem cell transplant for people with non-cancerous blood, immune, or metabolic disorders. The goal is to safely get donor cells to grow in the patient's body while reducing harsh side effects. About 220 participants will receive a reduced-intensity treatment before transplant, and researchers will monitor engraftment and toxicities for 100 days.
