NCT ID NCT03865589

First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a special ultrasound technique can predict a serious liver condition called sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) in children and adults getting bone marrow or stem cell transplants. Researchers will track 250 patients and measure how well the ultrasound identifies those at risk. The goal is to catch SOS earlier so doctors can treat it faster.
