Phase II Trial of VELCADE® (Bortezomib) for Steroid Refractory Acute GVHD
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Bortezomib for Graft-versus-Host Disease. Completed, enrolled 11 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this research study is to test the safety and effectiveness of VELCADE® in the treatment of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) that has not responded to steroids or has worsened when the steroid dose was decreased. VELCADE® is a drug that inhibits certain immune reactions that happen when lymphocytes encounter foreign substances. We are doing this research to determine if VELCADE® may be useful in treating GVHD.
