Higher defibrotide doses may help severe transplant complication
NCT ID NCT05987124
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether increasing the dose of defibrotide can safely help patients with a serious liver condition called SOS/VOD that occurs after a stem cell transplant. The condition can damage the kidneys and lungs and often does not improve with standard defibrotide doses. Researchers will enroll 20 patients and gradually raise their dose every few days, monitoring for side effects and response.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- defibrotide (Defitelio)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a treatment option for patients with severe liver SOS/VOD after stem cell transplant who are not helped by standard doses.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 20 participants. Higher doses may increase bleeding risk, and it is unclear if they will improve survival or organ function.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * HCT recipients (Auto or Allograft) * SOS/VOD as defined by Cairo/Cooke Diagnostic criteria (1) (Table 3) with either renal and/or pulmonary dysfunction as defined by Cairo/Cooke Grading criteria (1) (Appendix I). * Unresponsive to standard defibrotide therapy as defined by at least one of the following: * Patients with SOS/VOD failing to obtain a complete response (CR) defined by Grade I or less by Cairo/Cooke Grading criteria (1) (Appendix I). This would therefore include patients with stable disease after at least 14 days of defibrotide or partial response after at least 21 days of defibrotide (25mg/kg/day). * Progressive disease defined by progression of at least one grade or more from diagnostic grade as defined by Cairo/Cooke Grading criteria (1) (Appendix I) following at least 7 days of defibrotide (25mg/kg/day). * Age 1 month - 75 years Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who did not receive HCT. * Concomitant systemic anticoagulation (excluding central venous line management, fibrinolytic instillation for central venous line occlusion, management of intermittent dialysis or ultrafiltration of CVVH). * Active bleeding and/or hemorrhage of at least grade 2 and above. * History of development of Grade III/IV anaphylaxis probably or directly secondary to defibrotide. * Female patients who are pregnant or breast feeding.
