New study aims to detect lung damage earlier in young transplant patients
NCT ID NCT04098445
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 2,000 children who receive stem cell transplants to better understand and detect lung injuries that can occur after the procedure. Researchers will track participants for two years, collecting samples and health data to find ways to diagnose problems earlier. The goal is to improve treatment and reduce serious complications like scarring of the airways.

- If successful, this could lead to earlier detection and better treatments for lung injuries in children after stem cell transplants.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not testing a new treatment. It may not directly improve outcomes, and results may take years to impact care.
