New hope for transplant patients: drug combo may tame deadly immune attack

NCT ID NCT06936566

First seen Mar 29, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study tests a drug called ruxolitinib for treating acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a serious condition where donor cells attack the patient's body after a bone marrow transplant. About 98 adults with moderate to severe GVHD will receive either ruxolitinib alone or with steroids, depending on their risk level. The goal is to see if ruxolitinib can control GVHD better than standard steroid treatment, with fewer side effects.
