NCT ID NCT06688942
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a mobile app called Horizons can help adults with chronic graft-versus-host disease (a long-term complication after a bone marrow transplant) manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life. Twenty participants will use the app for about six weeks, completing short modules and surveys. The main goal is to see if people find the app easy and helpful to use.
