Summary
This trial aims to test how well a new drug called axatilimab works when used together with ruxolitinib in people with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD).
Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 12 or older who have been newly diagnosed with moderate to severe chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease (cGVHD) and need systemic therapy. They should not be dependent on platelet transfusions, have a certain level of white blood cells and platelets, and must commit to preventing pregnancy or fathering children.
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of Axatilimab in combination with Ruxolitinib compared to standard treatments like corticosteroids for cGVHD. It aims to see if adding Axatilimab improves treatment outcomes.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune system reactions, infections due to lowered immunity from Ruxolitinib, bleeding issues, liver problems from Axatilimab, as well as general side effects like fatigue or nausea.
