New study aims to ease the burden of stem cell recovery for patients and families
NCT ID NCT07107165
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two short support programs for stem cell transplant patients and their family caregivers. The goal is to help them work together to manage medications, infections, and daily tasks after leaving the hospital. Researchers will see if these programs improve how well patients follow their medical plan and reduce stress for both patients and caregivers.
