New approach aims to tame dangerous transplant side effect

NCT ID NCT03680092

Summary

This study tested whether a new combination of two drugs (cyclophosphamide and abatacept) could better prevent a serious complication called graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after stem cell transplants for blood cancers. GVHD happens when donor immune cells attack the patient's body. The trial compared this new approach to standard prevention methods in 43 patients who received transplants.
