New hope for older blood cancer patients: lower-dose combo may reduce transplant complications

NCT ID NCT05622318

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a lower-dose combination of two drugs (PTCy and ruxolitinib) can prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in older adults receiving a stem cell transplant for blood cancer. About 56 participants will receive the treatment and be monitored for survival without severe GVHD. The goal is to make transplants safer by reducing harmful immune reactions while still controlling the cancer.
