Can we predict who bounces back after a bone marrow transplant?
NCT ID NCT04188678
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 126 people aged 60 and older who had a bone marrow transplant for blood cancers like leukemia or lymphoma. Researchers measured physical abilities, mental health, and stress levels before and after transplant to find traits that help people recover better. The goal was to learn what makes someone resilient, not to test a new treatment.
