First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This study tested whether giving the drug ruxolitinib right away, instead of starting with high-dose steroids, could help children and young adults with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) after a stem cell transplant. Only one person enrolled before the study was stopped early. The goal was to see if ruxolitinib alone could control the disease and reduce the need for steroids.
