Trial Outcomes & Findings for Multicenter Study Of Natalizumab Plus Standard Steroid Treatment For High Risk Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease (NCT NCT02133924)

NCT ID: NCT02133924

Last Updated: 2022-10-21

Results Overview

The primary endpoint for this clinical study is the proportion of complete response, CR (that is, the percent of patients with skin, liver, and GI GVHD - all stage 0) at day 28 of study treatment. Stage 0 = no rash, total bilirubin \<2 mg/dl, diarrhea \<500 ml/d
