New study aims to predict dangerous lung infections in young transplant patients
NCT ID NCT05550298
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 2,000 children who have had or will have a stem cell or organ transplant. Researchers will test for respiratory viruses before and after transplant to see if they can predict who will get a serious lung infection. The goal is to improve screening and care, not to test a new treatment.
