A Phase II Trial of Prophylactic Rituximab Therapy for Prevention of Chronic Graft-vs.-Host Disease After Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Rituximab and 375 mg/m2 RRituximab for Hematological Malignancies. Completed, enrolled 65 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this trial is to determine if administration of rituximab after allogeneic stem cell transplantation can reduce the incidence of chronic GVHD. Chronic GVHD is a medical condition that can occur after bone marrow or stem cells are transplanted form one individual to another. After the transplant, the donor immune system may recognize the recipient body as foreign and may attempt to "reject" the body. Rituximab is a drug that interferes with the immune system function by specifically targeting B cells and killing them.
