First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding the drug ruxolitinib to the standard anti-rejection drugs tacrolimus and methotrexate can better prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in children and young adults (ages 2-22) receiving a bone marrow transplant for blood cancers like leukemia. GVHD occurs when donor cells attack the patient's body. The trial will enroll 40 participants and monitor side effects and how well the drug combination works. Participants will still need lifelong immune-suppressing medication after transplant.
