First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 30 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding the drug ruxolitinib to the usual two-drug regimen (tacrolimus and methotrexate) can better prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in children and young adults (ages 2-22) undergoing bone marrow transplant for leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome. GVHD occurs when donor immune cells attack the patient's body. The trial will enroll 40 participants and monitor side effects and how well the combination prevents GVHD and relapse.
