What is this trial about?
The GRAPPA study compares the use of two different medications to reduce the rate of graft-versus-host disease following a bone marrow transplant from an unrelated donor.
Detailed description
After a bone marrow transplant from an unrelated donor, there is a risk that the donor’s immune cells will attack the recipient’s tissue (known as “graft-versus-host reactions”). This can be one of the most serious side effects of a bone marrow transplant. As part of the study, a mixture of antibodies against lymphocytes—which has been the standard pre-transplant treatment—is being compared to the administration of chemotherapy (“post-transplant cyclophosphamide”) after the transplant. The latter is already being used successfully in a specific type of stem cell transplant.
