Preventing GVHD after stem cell transplant with three drugs
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older with a blood cancer like acute leukemia or MDS, and the disease is well-controlled (low blast count).
- You will receive a high-dose (myeloablative) chemotherapy regimen before transplant.
- You have a matched sibling or unrelated donor willing to donate peripheral blood stem cells.
- Your heart, kidney, lung, and liver function tests meet certain minimum levels.
- You have not had a prior stem cell transplant or taken ruxolitinib before.

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 if a two-step course of a drug called ATG (anti-thymocyte globulin) can help prevent a serious side effect called graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a donor stem cell transplant. It is for people with certain blood cancers who are receiving a reduced-intensity 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 new way to prevent graft-versus-host disease (a common side effect of stem cell transplant) using a drug called cyclophosphamide after transplant. It is for adults with certain blood cancers who need a transplant from a partially matched unrelated donor.
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 two different combinations of medicines to prevent graft-versus-host disease (when donor cells attack your body) after a stem cell transplant. The goal is to see which approach works better for people with certain blood cancers or lymphomas.
