Clinical Trials for Immunosuppression in Transplantation: The Case for Reform and Change in Direction.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Avascular osteonecrosis (AVN) is a serious complication of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). Graft-versus-host disease and its treatment with steroids are the main risk factors; underlying diagnosis, age and gender are further risk factors. It has been speculated that low baseline bone mineral dens...
