Psoriasis drug shows promise in preventing deadly transplant complication

NCT ID NCT04112810

Summary

This study tested whether tildrakizumab, a drug approved for psoriasis, could prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in patients receiving stem cell transplants for blood cancers. The trial involved 51 adults who received the drug alongside their transplant to see if it could reduce GVHD without increasing cancer relapse. Researchers measured whether patients remained free from severe GVHD, cancer return, or death for one year after transplant.
