Summary

This study tests whether adding the drug vorinostat to standard care can prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in children, adolescents, and young adults receiving a bone marrow or blood stem cell transplant for blood cancers or disorders. About 43 participants will receive vorinostat after transplant, and researchers will monitor how many develop moderate to severe GVHD within 100 days. The goal is to find the safest and most effective dose to reduce this serious complication.
