Study drug for graft-versus-host disease after stem cell transplant
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This trial tests an experimental drug for people who develop graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a stem cell transplant, when standard steroid treatment hasn't helped. The goal is to see if it can control the disease with fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stem cell transplant (from a donor).
- You have been diagnosed with acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) — where donor cells attack your body.
- Your GVHD is moderate to severe (grade II to IV).
- You did not get better with steroid treatment.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study tests whether an experimental cell therapy called iMSC can help prevent graft-versus-host disease (a common complication after a stem cell transplant). It is given soon after your transplant, within 5 days of enrolling, and aims to reduce the chance of this serious condition.
This trial tests a new treatment using special white blood cells (called Treg cells) to help control graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a common complication after a stem cell transplant. The goal is to reduce GVHD symptoms without the serious side effects of high-dose steroids.
This study tests a new medicine called axatilimab, given after a stem cell transplant, to help prevent a common complication called graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), where the donor’s cells attack your body. If you are planning a transplant, this may help improve your recovery.
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 a new cell therapy (CK0802) for people with severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) that hasn't improved with standard steroid treatment. The treatment aims to control the immune response causing GVHD, potentially reducing symptoms and improving outcomes.
This trial tests a combination of medicines (post-transplant cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and abatacept) to lower your chance of developing graft-versus-host disease (when transplanted immune cells attack your body) after a transplant. If you qualify, you’ll receive the study medicines as part of your post-transplant care and be followed closely to check safety and prevention of GvHD.
