Summary

This trial tests how well itacitinib works to treat bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome, a lung condition, after a donor hematopoietic cell transplant.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-75 who've had a donor stem cell transplant and are now facing a lung condition called bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) can join. They need to be in decent health otherwise, with specific blood counts, and able to understand the study. Women of childbearing age must not be pregnant or nursing, and all participants should avoid having children during the trial.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Itacitinib's effectiveness for BOS after stem cell transplants. This early-phase study will see if blocking certain enzymes with Itacitinib stops harmful cell growth that contributes to this lung condition.
What are the potential side effects?
Itacitinib might cause side effects like changes in blood tests reflecting liver or kidney function, potential impact on blood cells leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, fatigue, nausea, or other symptoms as yet unknown due to its investigational nature.
