Liver transplant study tests Lower-Dose immune drugs to prevent deadly Graft-Versus-Host disease
NCT ID NCT05238155
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 100 liver transplant patients to see if using less immune-suppressing medication could lower the risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a serious condition where donor cells attack the recipient's body. Researchers tracked how many patients developed GVHD or experienced organ rejection within one year after transplant. The goal was to find a safer balance between preventing rejection and avoiding GVHD.
