Hydrogen therapy for steroid-resistant graft-versus-host disease
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests whether hydrogen therapy can improve symptoms in people with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) who cannot tolerate steroid treatment. If steroids aren’t working or can’t be used, this trial may offer an alternative approach to help control the illness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can sign the study consent form and you can follow all study visits and treatments
- You must be male (and the study excludes pregnant patients)
- You have cGVHD that is either not responding to prednisone or flares when steroids are lowered
- You cannot tolerate steroid treatment (your doctor has had to stop or limit steroids due to side effects)
- Your cancer must not be actively uncontrolled or relapsed after transplant
- Your kidney and liver tests must not be too abnormal (and you must not have severe organ failure)

This Phase 3 trial tests whether a specific low-dose medication (methotrexate) together with standard steroid treatment can improve early outcomes in patients with acute graft-versus-host disease after a stem cell transplant. It may help control the immune reaction that attacks the body after transplant.
This study tests a new cell therapy called GT729 for people with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) that hasn't improved with at least two previous treatments. The therapy is given as an injection and aims to help control the immune system reaction that causes cGVHD.
This trial tests a new medicine called CK0802 for patients whose graft versus host disease (a complication after bone marrow transplant) did not improve with standard steroid treatment. The goal is to see if CK0802 can help control this condition when steroids alone haven't worked.
This trial studies a type of immune-support cell therapy (mesenchymal stromal cells) compared with the best available standard treatment for acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) that does not respond to steroids. It may help by calming an overactive immune reaction after a stem cell transplant.
This study tests if a hormone called hCG can help treat moderate-to-severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a stem cell transplant. It is for adults who have recently developed GVHD and need steroids, but have not been on high-dose steroids for long.
This trial tests whether injecting special immune cells (Treg cells) from your transplant donor, along with a protein called IL-2, can help control chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) that hasn't responded well to steroids. It is for people who have had a stem cell transplant and still have moderate to severe cGVHD.
