New Study Confirms Safety of Partially Matched Stem Cell Transplants
A new clinical trial shows that using partially matched peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) donors—combined with cyclophosphamide to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)—can be a safe and effective option for patients with blood cancers who don’t have fully matched donors. One year post-transplant, 80% of participants were alive, and the rate of serious GVHD was comparable to fully matched transplants. This breakthrough could help more patients, especially those from diverse backgrounds, access life-saving transplants.
