Prevention study for EBV Infection After Allogenic HSCT
Official title Prevention of Epstein-Barr Virus Reactivation With the ATG-based Haploidentical Protocol Combined With Rituximab in Children Undergoing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07693881
What this study is testing
What is Rituximab (R)?
Rituximab (R) is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for ebv infection after allogenic hsct.
