A clinical trial is under way to prove the effectiveness of a new method developed by Queensland scientists to remove the major side-effect of a treatment for cancer and genetic disorders in children.
The trial is expected to involve about 20 children aged between three months and 18 years who need stem cell treatment for blood cancers or genetic immune deficiencies.
Researchers at QIMR Berghofer have developed a method to remove a major side-effect from stem cell therapy, giving hope to hundreds of children with cancers and genetic disorders.
