Summary

This study tested a combination of three drugs (ruxolitinib, uhCG/EGF, and steroids) to treat a severe complication called acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) that can occur after a stem cell transplant. The goal was to find the lowest effective steroid dose to reduce side effects while still controlling GVHD. The study included 10 participants aged 12 and older with high-risk GVHD, but it was terminated early.
