NCT ID NCT07576699

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-phase trial tests a new treatment called CK0802 for people with severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) that does not respond to steroids. GVHD is a serious complication after a bone marrow or stem cell transplant, where donor immune cells attack the patient's body. CK0802 uses immune cells from donated cord blood to try to calm this attack. The study will include 12 participants and will check for safety and whether the disease improves.
