New ACCESS Trial Results Widen Donor Pool and Expand Patient Access to Transplant Among Adults with High-Risk Blood Cancers

Access Trial data published in Blood Advances indicates that one-year patient outcomes for young patients receiving <7/8 mismatched unrelated donor transplants are similar to outcomes with fully matched donors. The article frames the finding as supportive of the use of mismatched unrelated donors, potentially broadening donor availability. No magnitude (e.g., % improvement) is provided in the excerpt.
