What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only This study
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This trial tests whether adding an experimental cell therapy called Amimaitosai to standard steroids can treat severe gut inflammation that sometimes occurs after a stem cell transplant. The study enrolls people with blood cancers who develop this condition, called gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease. Participants receive either the cell therapy plus a lower steroid dose or a higher steroid dose alone. Researchers measure how many people improve within 28 days and track longer-term outcomes like relapse and survival.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Amimaitosai injection combined with methylprednisolone (a corticosteroid)
What this could lead to
If it works, this combination could offer a new first-line treatment for a serious complication of stem cell transplants, potentially improving recovery and survival.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with only 60 participants, so results may not hold up in larger studies. The treatment may not improve outcomes and could carry risks like infection or other side effects.
