Health Check for Older Adults Before Stem Cell Transplant
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a special health evaluation designed for older adults can help doctors better plan stem cell transplants for people 55 and older with blood disorders. You would receive a series of questionnaires and tests to assess your overall health before transplant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a special preparation (conditioning) regimen for patients 55 or older with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are in first remission and receiving a half-matched (haploidentical) stem cell transplant. It aims to make the transplant safer and more effective for this age group.
This study looks at whether getting stem cells from a younger donor works better than from an older donor for people having their first stem cell transplant to treat blood cancer.
This study looks at blood sugar problems in people who have had a stem cell transplant from a donor. It may help doctors learn how to better manage or prevent diabetes after a transplant.
This study looks at heart problems that can happen after a stem cell transplant from a donor (allogeneic). It aims to understand these risks better so doctors can help patients stay healthier after transplant.
This study tracks patients who have had or are planning to have a stem cell transplant. It helps doctors learn more about long-term outcomes and improve care for future patients.
This study looks at using a “half-matched” stem cell transplant (haploidentical transplant) in adults around your age with acute leukemia or MDS. It may help people who cannot find a fully matched donor, but are still eligible for this type of transplant.
