Cell therapy for steroid-resistant graft-versus-host disease
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests an experimental cell therapy called VUM02 for people who have graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) after a stem cell transplant that hasn't improved with standard steroid treatment. The goal is to see if this new treatment can help control GvHD symptoms and improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 14 and 70 years old.
- You have had a stem cell transplant for a blood cancer and developed graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) that did not get better with steroid treatment.
- Your GvHD symptoms include skin rash, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes).
- You are expected to live at least 3 more months.
- You can start the study treatment within 3 days of joining the study.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to have a child during the study period.

This trial tests whether moxibustion—a traditional Chinese medicine technique using heat from burning mugwort—can help treat acute graft-versus-host disease (a complication after bone marrow transplant) that hasn't responded to steroid drugs. If you've had a stem cell transplant and developed this condition that won't go away with standard treatment, this study may be for you.
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 new type of stem cell therapy (iMSC) for people with steroid-resistant acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), a serious complication after a stem cell transplant. The goal is to see if it's safe and might help control the disease.
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 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.
