Summary

This trial is testing whether a new combination of drugs can help treat a common and serious side effect of a stem cell transplant that often leads to long-term problems or even death.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 5 to 60 who've had a bone marrow transplant and are showing early signs of lung problems. They need good blood, kidney, and liver function. It's not for those allergic to the study drug, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals without birth control, or anyone treated with other experimental drugs for graft-versus-host disease in the last month.
What is being tested?
The trial tests if adding Ruxolitinib to standard treatments like Flovent/montelukast and steroids can reverse early lung damage after a stem cell transplant. The goal is to prevent chronic lung issues or severe Bronchiolitis Obliterans by treating it sooner.
What are the potential side effects?
Ruxolitinib may cause side effects such as infections due to low blood counts, bleeding problems from changes in clotting times, kidney function alterations, and potential liver enzyme abnormalities.
