NCT ID NCT02763033
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 26 times
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 happens when donor cells attack the patient's body. The supplement was given to 107 participants before and after transplant to boost a gut compound called butyrate. The goal was to see if this approach is safe and reduces severe GVHD by day 100.
