Diabetes pill may shield transplant patients from deadly immune attack

NCT ID NCT05149365

Summary

This study tested if adding the diabetes medication sitagliptin to standard preventive drugs could better protect patients from a dangerous immune reaction called graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a stem cell transplant. It involved 190 adults with blood cancers who received transplants from partially matched or unrelated donors. Half received the standard drug regimen, while the other half received the standard drugs plus sitagliptin for a short period around the transplant.
