NCT ID NCT07140445
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study will follow 175 children and young adults who had a bone marrow transplant before age 18. Researchers will test their thinking, memory, and attention skills, and check for links to physical health issues like metabolism and fitness. The goal is to find early warning signs and improve quality of life for survivors.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help identify children at risk for cognitive problems after a bone marrow transplant and point to ways to prevent or treat these issues.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly test any new therapy, and results may not lead to immediate changes in care.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Participants: All survivors of paediatric HSCT in Denmark who have undergone transplantation since 2010, being at least 2 years after HSCT, and at least 7 years of age on the day of assessment are eligible. All participants must be able to speak and understand Danish as well as to understand the research project, to give informed consent to participate. For participants younger than 18 years, where the parents will give consent, at least one parent must speak Danish. Thus, the inclusion criteria are: at least 7 years of age, treatment with HSCT in Denmark since 2010 before the age of 18 years, and ability to speak and understand Danish. Exclusion criteria: Participants who were diagnosed with infantile autism before their HSCT or have Downs Syndrome will be excluded from the study.
