Study Summary

This trial is to study the side effects and best dose of ibrutinib in children with cGVHD.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and young adults who have chronic Graft Versus Host Disease (cGVHD) after a stem cell transplant. It's open to those aged 1-12 for Part A, and 1-22 for Part B, who've tried at least one treatment without success or are newly diagnosed needing systemic therapy. Participants should be fairly active (performance status ≥60). Those with uncontrolled infections, hepatitis, only genito-urinary cGVHD, recent investigational drugs or donor lymphocyte infusions can't join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the safety and appropriate dosing of Ibrutinib in pediatric patients with cGVHD. This phase involves finding the right dose (Phase 1) and then checking its safety profile more broadly (Phase 2).See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Ibrutinib may cause side effects such as bleeding problems, infections due to weakened immune responses, diarrhea, muscle pains, and rashes. The severity of these side effects varies from person to person.

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Phase 1/2Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Part A: Subjects ≥1 to <12 years of age with moderate or severe cGVHD after failure of 1 or more lines of systemic therapy, will receive oral ibrutinib once daily to determine Recommended Pediatric Equivalent Dose (RPED). Part A Continuation: Subjects participating in Part A may continue receiving daily ibrutinib until the RPED is determined, at which time their dose may be adjusted to the RPED. Part B: Subjects ≥1 to <12 years of age( upper age limit is < 22 years) with moderate or severe cGVHD after failure of 1 or more lines of systemic therapy or with newly diagnosed moderate or severe cGVHD will be dosed at the RPED. Subjects ≥12 will be given 420mg orally ibrutinib once daily.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What are the qualifying factors for participating in this research?

"This particular clinical study only accept patients that have graft vs host disease and are between 1 year to 21 years old. A total of 59 participants can be enrolled in the trial."

Answered by AI

Can you tell me about other times Ibrutinib has been tested in a clinical setting?

"The original research on ibrutinib was conducted in 2011 at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center. Since then, 97 similar studies have been completed with 158 more presently underway. Many of these active trials are based in San Diego, California."

Answered by AI

Are octogenarians being sought for this research project?

"According to the eligibility requirements posted for this research, applicants must be aged 1-21 years old. Out of the 476 total clinical trials that are currently underway, 73 specifically involve minors and 303 focus on patients over 65 years old."

Answered by AI

Can people sign up for this experiment right now?
