Recruiting PHASE1 Hematopoietic and Lymphatic System Neoplasm

Compares treatment options for Hematopoietic and Lymphatic System Neoplasm

Official title Biomarker-Guided Ruxolitinib for the Prevention of Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07025538

What this study is testing

What is Ruxolitinib?

Ruxolitinib is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for hematopoietic and lymphatic system neoplasm.

Also referred to as INCB 018424, INCB-018424.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This phase I trial studies how well biomarker-guided ruxolitinib works for the prevention of chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) in patients that have undergone allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). Allogeneic HCT is the most effective therapy for patients with high-risk blood and bone marrow malignancies.
  • Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
  • Time commitment: about 1 year
