First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-stage trial tests whether adding fostamatinib to the standard drug ruxolitinib can safely help people with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) that hasn't responded to steroids. cGVHD is a serious complication after a stem cell transplant where the donor cells attack the patient's body. The study will enroll about 30 adults and aims to find the best dose of fostamatinib to use with ruxolitinib, while also checking if the combination improves symptoms.
