New drug shows promise in controlling transplant complications
NCT ID NCT03763318
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new drug called EQ001 in 30 people who developed acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) after a stem cell transplant. aGVHD is a serious condition where donor immune cells attack the patient's body. The goal was to see if EQ001 is safe and can help control this immune reaction. Participants received the drug and were monitored for side effects and treatment response.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or female subject at least 18 years of age for Part A, and at least 12 years of age for Part B. 2. Recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) using myeloablative or non myeloablative conditioning regimens. 3. Have a clinical diagnosis of acute GVHD requiring systemic immune suppressive therapy. 4. Deemed by the investigator to be likely to comply with the planned procedure as required by the protocol for the duration of the study Exclusion Criteria: 1. Presence of morphologic relapsed primary malignancy, treatment for relapse after alloHSCT was performed, or requirement for rapid immunosuppressive treatment withdrawal for early malignancy relapse. 2. Evidence of graft failure based on cytopenia(s), and as determined by the investigator. 3. Evidence of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease. 4. Any prior therapy for acute GVHD, except for alloHSCT prophylaxis regimens or systemically administered corticosteroids. 5. As determined by the investigator, any medical, psychiatric, or other condition or circumstance that is likely to negatively affect: the subject's participation in this clinical study, the subject's safety, or the reliability of the study data.
