New drug hope to stop dangerous transplant complication in kids

NCT ID NCT03842696

Summary

This study is testing if adding a drug called vorinostat to standard medications can better prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in children and young adults getting a bone marrow transplant for blood cancers. GVHD is a serious complication where the donor's immune cells attack the patient's body. The research aims to find the safest and most effective dose of vorinostat and see if it reduces the rate of severe GVHD after the transplant.
