Study Summary

This trial evaluates how effective ibrutinib is in preventing chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in patients receiving donor hematopoietic cell transplantation. In this treatment, patients receive

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients who've had a donor stem cell transplant to treat conditions like cancer. It's designed to see if taking Ibrutinib after the transplant can prevent chronic graft-versus-host disease, which happens when donor cells attack the patient's body.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing Ibrutinib, a kinase inhibitor that blocks proteins involved in immune responses that could lead to chronic GVHD. The goal is to determine if it can help prevent this condition post-transplant.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Ibrutinib may cause side effects such as diarrhea, bleeding problems, high blood pressure, infections due to low white blood cell counts, irregular heartbeat, and muscle and bone pain.
