GRAFT VS HOST DISEASE

This phase II trial tests a special stem cell transplant that removes immune T-cells from the donor's blood to lower the risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a serious complication where the donor cells attack the patient's body. About 50 adults with myelodysplastic syndrome…

This study tests whether adding the drug vorinostat to standard care can prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in children, adolescents, and young adults receiving a bone marrow or blood stem cell transplant for blood cancers. Researchers are first finding the best dose of vor…

This study tests a new combination of three drugs (cyclophosphamide, abatacept, and tacrolimus) given at lower doses to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in 27 adults receiving a stem cell transplant from a half-matched donor. GVHD is a serious condition where donor cells …

This study offers continued access to ibrutinib for people with certain blood cancers or graft-versus-host disease who completed earlier ibrutinib trials and are still benefiting from the drug but cannot get it commercially. About 297 participants will receive ibrutinib while res…

This study tests whether a group-based behavioral program called Horizons can improve quality of life and coping skills in adults with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD), a common complication after stem cell transplant. The program involves 8 weekly video sessions with a …

This study tests whether 30 sessions of UVA-1 light therapy can improve daily life for people with scleroderma, morphea, or skin hardening from graft-versus-host disease. Thirty adults will report how their symptoms affect everyday tasks before and after treatment. The goal is to…

This study tests a telehealth program called Horizons for adults who have had a stem cell transplant and developed moderate to severe chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The program uses video sessions and questionnaires to help patients cope and follow their treatment plan…

This study aims to create a symptom questionnaire specifically for children and teens living with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) after a stem cell transplant. Current symptom scales are designed for adults, but children may describe their symptoms differently. Research…

This study examines tissue samples from patients who developed graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a stem cell transplant. Researchers use a technology called nCounter to measure the activity of 800 immune-related genes in these samples. The goal is to identify a unique molecu…

This study involves 383 people who have chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a stem cell transplant. Researchers are developing and testing new ways to measure whether a treatment is working, including a symptom-based activity index and a score that predicts long-term s…

This study aims to better understand what causes inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and other gut problems by analyzing blood and tissue samples from 1,000 patients. Researchers will use advanced lab techniques to track immune system changes over …
