NCT ID NCT04281199
Summary
This study is testing a new, more precise way to deliver total body radiation before a stem cell transplant. The goal is to better protect patients' lungs from damage while still effectively treating their blood cancer. It involves 20 patients with acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome who are eligible for a transplant. Researchers will track side effects and survival to see if this method is safer.
