NCT ID NCT07535008

First seen Apr 21, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study tests whether a dental cleaning shortly after a stem cell transplant can prevent chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a serious complication where donor cells attack the patient's body. Researchers will enroll 45 adults receiving a stem cell transplant for blood cancer. The goal is to see if removing dental plaque bacteria soon after transplant reduces the risk of moderate-to-severe chronic GVHD.
