Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug to see if it is safe and effective in treating aGVHD in people who haven't responded to steroids.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 12 and above, weighing at least 40 kg, who have steroid refractory gastrointestinal acute graft versus host disease after a stem cell transplant. Participants must use effective contraception if of childbearing potential and can't be on certain other GVHD therapies or have significant organ failures.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests the safety and effectiveness of Apraglutide in treating lower GI-aGVHD that hasn’t responded to steroids. Patients will also receive standard treatment with SS plus RUX starting up to five days before or within 72 hours of beginning Apraglutide.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not explicitly listed but may include typical reactions to new medications such as digestive issues, allergic responses, fatigue, or complications related to immune system changes.
