What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Budesonide (Entocort EC)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could give doctors a simple way to prevent severe diarrhea during stem cell transplant for multiple myeloma, making the procedure easier to tolerate.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial (120 people) testing a drug already used for other conditions. It may not reduce diarrhea significantly, and side effects from budesonide are possible.
