New shot may shield transplant patients from deadly immune attack
NCT ID NCT04686929
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a drug called abatacept, given as a shot under the skin, to prevent a serious complication called graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in 29 adults with blood cancers. Participants received a stem cell transplant from a half-matched donor. The goal was to see if abatacept could safely lower the risk of GVHD without causing major side effects.
