New approach aims to spare kids from steroids in transplant complication

NCT ID NCT06695507

Summary

This study tested whether a drug called ruxolitinib could be used as the first treatment for chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) in children and young adults. The goal was to see if starting with ruxolitinib could control the disease while avoiding or reducing the need for high-dose steroids, which have many side effects. The study was a small, early-phase trial that enrolled patients aged 12 to 30 with newly diagnosed, moderate-to-severe cGVHD.
