Ruxolitinib for Newly Diagnosed Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome

• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Trial end date: 2025-01-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Lung is one of the target organs in chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) after allo-HSCT was a clinical syndrome characterized by persistent airflow restriction which is the result of lung cGVHD. BOS is one of the main causes of late mortality after allo-HSCT, severely restricting the daily activities and respiratory function of patients. It limits the quality of life and increased the non-relapse mortality (NRM) after allo-HSCT. Currently, the first-line treatment for BOS is FAM ( oral fluticasone, azithromycin and montelukast). However, more than 50% of patients develop as steroids resistant (SR)-BOS, and SR-BOS has a poor prognosis and irreversible impaired lung function. Ruxolitinib is an effective drug in the treatment of SR-cGVHD. This is a phase Ⅱ prospective clinical study to explore the efficacy and safety of ruxolitinib as a first-line treatment for newly diagnosed BOS after allo-HSCT.
