Preventing GvHD after stem cell transplant for blood cancers
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), a common complication after a stem cell transplant. It is for people with certain blood cancers who are getting a stem cell transplant from a half-matched family member or unrelated donor.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older and weigh at least 77 pounds (35 kg).
- You must have one of these blood cancers: acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.
- You must have a half-matched (haploidentical) family donor or an unrelated volunteer donor available for stem cell donation.
- You must be in reasonably good health, with no serious infections or organ problems.
- You cannot have had a prior stem cell transplant.

This trial tests a two-step use of ATG (a drug that calms immune cells) to help prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in patients receiving a stem cell transplant from a donor. It may be an option for people with certain blood cancers or disorders who are getting a strong, marrow-clearing transplant.
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (vedolizumab, cyclophosphamide, and tacrolimus) to prevent graft-versus-host disease, a common complication after a donor stem cell transplant. It is for people with certain blood cancers who are getting a reduced-intensity transplant.
This trial tests adding ruxolitinib to standard drugs (tacrolimus and methotrexate) to prevent graft-versus-host disease in children and young adults undergoing a stem cell transplant for acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome. The goal is to lower the risk of GVHD and improve transplant outcomes.
This trial tests adding a drug called emapalumab to standard medications (cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil) to prevent graft-versus-host disease in adults receiving a donor stem cell transplant. This approach aims to reduce complications after transplant.
This trial tests a combination of four medicines (cyclophosphamide, abatacept, vedolizumab, and ruxolitinib) to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a stem cell transplant for children and young adults with certain blood cancers. The goal is to see if this approach reduces the risk of GVHD, a serious complication where donor cells attack the body.
This trial tests a three-drug combination (cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus, and ruxolitinib) to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a stem cell transplant. It is for people with certain blood cancers who have a matched donor and can tolerate high-dose chemotherapy.
