First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how the steroid dexamethasone, used to treat childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia, affects bone density and the nervous system. Researchers will measure drug levels in blood and spinal fluid, and track bone loss and nerve-related side effects. The goal is to find ways to reduce these side effects in the future.
