Graft Versus Host Disease clinical trials at UCSF
4 in progress, 2 open to eligible people
Graft-versus-host disease happens when donor blood or marrow cells attack a patient's skin, gut, or liver after transplant. UCSF is studying graft processing that removes alpha/beta T cells to lower immune damage. UCSF is also testing different drug plans after transplant, such as ruxolitinib and cyclophosphamide-based approaches.
CLINIMACS® for Alpha/Beta T-Cell Depletion in Stem Cell Transplant
open to eligible people ages up to 30 years
Patients in need of an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) are at risk of developing graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD). In certain clinical situations, the optimal approach to minimize the risk of GVHD is to perform ex vivo alpha-beta T-cell depletion of the donor cells. However, the CliniMACS® Device is FDA-approved only for a narrow indication. All other uses of ex vivo processed cells must be done under a feasibility study protocol.

Tacrolimus/Methotrexate/Ruxolitinib Versus Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide/Tacrolimus/Mycophenolate Mofetil in Non-Myeloablative/Reduced Intensity Conditioning Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation (BMT CTN 2203)
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
The purpose of this study is to assess Tacrolimus/Methotrexate/Ruxolitinib versus Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide/Tacrolimus/Mycophenolate Mofetil in Non-Myeloablative/Reduced Intensity Conditioning Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation

Test an Oral Medicine, Belumosudil, in Combination With Corticosteroids in Participants at Least 12 Years of Age With Newly Diagnosed Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease.
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
This is a parallel, Phase 3, two-arm study for the treatment of newly diagnosed moderate or severe chronic GVHD. The study duration for a participant includes up to 4 weeks for screening; a treatment period until clinically meaningful cGVHD progression (defined as progression requiring addition of new systemic treatment for cGVHD), relapse/recurrence of the underlying disease, participant starts new systemic treatment for cGVHD or experiences an unacceptable toxicity, at the request of the participants or the investigators, or until the end of study is reached, whichever comes first; at least 30 days follow-up of adverse events (AEs) after the last dose until resolution or stabilization, if applicable; and long-term follow-up until death or study close-out, whichever comes first.

Lactobacillus Plantarum in Preventing Acute Graft Versus Host Disease in Children Undergoing Donor Stem Cell Transplant
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
This randomized phase III trial studies how well Lactobacillus plantarum works in preventing acute graft versus host disease in children undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Lactobacillus plantarum may help prevent the development of gastrointestinal graft versus host disease in children, adolescents, and young adults undergoing donor stem cell transplant.
