NCT ID NCT05090384
First seen May 10, 2026 · Last updated May 18, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tested whether a blood test (GVHD biomarkers) could help doctors safely reduce steroid doses in children with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a bone marrow transplant. Fifty children with low-risk GVHD were enrolled. The goal was to see if quick steroid tapering based on biomarker results could maintain treatment success while lowering the risk of serious steroid side effects like infections, bone damage, and growth problems.
