New drug combo tested to shield transplant patients from dangerous rejection

NCT ID NCT03320642

Summary

This study tested whether adding the experimental drug itacitinib to standard preventive medications could better protect patients from graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a stem cell transplant for blood cancers. It involved 84 participants who were eligible for a reduced-intensity transplant. The main goals were to see if the combination was safe and if it helped patients' blood counts recover properly after the transplant.
