Acute graft versus host disease

Researchers are testing whether adding abatacept to standard immune-suppressing drugs can prevent severe graft-versus-host disease after a double umbilical cord blood transplant. The trial enrolls people with blood cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, and myelodysplastic syndromes…

This study tests the drug ruxolitinib in 36 Chinese adults and teens (12+) who have severe graft-versus-host disease after a stem cell transplant and did not improve with steroids. Participants take ruxolitinib pills daily for up to 56 days. The main goal is to see how many patie…

This trial tests whether adding an experimental cell therapy called Amimaitosai to standard steroids can treat severe gut inflammation that sometimes occurs after a stem cell transplant. The study enrolls people with blood cancers who develop this condition, called gastrointestin…

This early study tests whether combining a low-dose steroid with the drug ruxolitinib can better control grade II acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a stem cell transplant. GVHD occurs when donor immune cells attack the recipient's body. The trial includes 30 people wit…

This study tests a new treatment called CYP-001 for people who develop a severe immune reaction (graft versus host disease) after a stem cell transplant. About 60 participants will receive either CYP-001 plus standard steroids or a placebo plus steroids. The goal is to see if add…

This study aimed to see if a special type of stem cell (hAESC) could safely prevent acute graft-versus-host disease in people receiving a stem cell transplant for blood cancer. It was designed for adults at high risk of this complication. However, the study was withdrawn before a…

This study tests a new treatment called MC0518 (made from donor cells) in children who have severe graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) after a stem cell transplant and did not get better with steroids. GvHD happens when the donor's immune cells attack the child's body. The trial com…

This study tests an oral enzyme called SYN-004 in adults who have received a stem cell transplant and need intravenous antibiotics for fever. The enzyme is designed to break down antibiotics in the gut, protecting the natural bacteria there. Researchers will check safety, whether…

This phase II trial tests whether the drug ustekinumab (Stelara) can prevent acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in 116 adults receiving stem cell transplants for blood cancers. GVHD occurs when donor immune cells attack the patient's body. Ustekinumab aims to calm this immune…

This study tests whether daily intravenous omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil) can reduce the risk and severity of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) in 30 adults receiving a stem cell transplant. Participants get omega-3 infusions from before transplant until about 35 days after…

This early-phase trial aimed to test whether adding the drug 5-azacytidine (AZA) to standard steroid treatment could protect gut stem cells in patients with gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a serious complication after a donor stem cell transplant. The study pla…

This study tests whether giving patients a transplant of healthy gut bacteria (from donated stool) can prevent severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a stem cell transplant. GVHD is a serious complication where donor immune cells attack the patient's body. The trial involv…

This study tests whether a probiotic called Lactobacillus plantarum can prevent a serious complication called graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) in the gut of children receiving a donor stem cell transplant. About 173 children with blood cancers or other conditions are taking the p…

This study looks at how different types of immune cells in the skin, called dendritic cells, are involved in graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a bone marrow transplant. Researchers will take small skin samples and blood from 22 adults with acute or chronic skin GVHD. The goa…

This study looks at whether the time when stem cells are given to blood cancer patients after a donor transplant affects their risk of developing acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), a serious complication where donor cells attack the patient's body. About 198 patients aged 1…
