Trial therapy could ‘turbocharge’ sick kids’ immune cells – Chinchilla News
A world-first study is underway into a potentially lifesaving therapy for children having stem cell transplants.
Queensland researchers have begun a world-first trial of a new treatment aimed at preventing life-threatening infections in children having stem cell transplants.
The two-year study of up to 20 children as young as three months old will test whether giving them immunotherapy after their transplant reduces the risk of dangerous viral infections.
Two patients at the Queensland Children’s Hospital have already received the treatment manufactured at the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute.
