Nicotinamide Riboside Supplementation to Improve Engraftment after Donor Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant

Trial Status: active

This early phase I trial investigates the side effects of nicotinamide riboside supplementation in improving engraftment in patients who underwent donor hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Engraftment is defined as the process during which transplanted stem cells begin to grow in recipient bone marrow and produce new white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. It is estimated to take about 14-24 days for donor cells to engraft after infusion. Nicotinamide riboside may help decrease the time to engraftment, thereby decrease the risk of complications and improve long-term health status.
