NCT ID NCT07664670
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests whether a dietitian-led High Fiber Program can help patients increase their fiber intake after receiving a stem cell transplant from a donor. The goal is to improve gut health and possibly reduce complications like graft-versus-host disease. About 44 adults scheduled for transplant will take part in counseling sessions to learn how to add more fiber to their diet.
