NCT ID NCT07025538
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-stage trial tests whether the drug ruxolitinib can prevent chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) in 42 adults who had a stem cell transplant for blood cancer. Doctors use a blood test to find patients at high risk for cGVHD and then give them ruxolitinib to block the immune attack. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and can help patients avoid this serious complication.
