Summary

This study tested whether a dietary supplement made from potato starch could lower the risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in people receiving a stem cell transplant. GVHD is a serious complication where donor cells attack the patient's body. The supplement was given to 107 participants starting just before the transplant and continuing for 100 days. The goal was to see if it was safe and could reduce severe GVHD.
