Summary

This study tests the drug ruxolitinib in 36 Chinese adults and teens (12+) who have severe graft-versus-host disease after a stem cell transplant and did not improve with steroids.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a treatment option for Chinese patients with severe graft-versus-host disease that does not respond to steroids.
