Probiotics to prevent stomach problems in children with leukemia
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Digestive system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether probiotics can help prevent stomach and gut side effects from chemotherapy in children with leukemia. If your child is between 6 and 17, in the right phase of treatment, and doesn't have any major gut issues, they may be eligible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
