Summary

This study looked at whether the blood pressure drug telmisartan could prevent a serious complication called graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in people receiving a stem cell transplant for blood cancers. About 32 participants were planned, but the study was stopped early. The goal was to see if the drug could reduce severe GVHD without causing dangerous low blood pressure.
