NCT ID NCT06786897
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how patients with advanced blood cancers (like acute myeloid leukemia) who are not eligible for a cure, along with their nurses and doctors, feel about the benefits of blood transfusions. Researchers will give questionnaires before each transfusion to compare expectations. The goal is to better understand when transfusions truly help maintain quality of life in palliative care.
