What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) sessions
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help stem cell transplant patients maintain physical function and reduce complications during recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a phase 2 trial, so results are still uncertain. The therapy may not improve physical function or survival, and it requires patient and caregiver commitment.
