Summary

This trial is testing a drug to see if it can treat BOS, a condition that may occur after HCT, a procedure where blood cells are transplanted from one person to another.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-75 with Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome after a cell transplant, who have specific lung function test results and no active infections or severe organ dysfunction. Participants must not be pregnant, nursing, or have allergies to the study drug ruxolitinib.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing ruxolitinib as a potential treatment for BOS in patients who've had an Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation. It aims to see if this drug can help improve lung function in these individuals.
What are the potential side effects?
Ruxolitinib may cause side effects such as blood disorders (low counts of different types of cells), kidney issues (reduced creatinine clearance), liver problems (elevated bilirubin or transaminases), and potentially increase the risk of infections.
