What to Expect as a Participant

You will actively receive the study intervention — which may be a drug, biologic, device, or procedure.

Phase 1 is the earliest stage of human testing — safety and dosage are the primary focus. Visits are frequent and medical supervision is intensive. You will be among the first people to receive this treatment.

This trial targets 24 participants in total. It began in 2025-06-30 with a primary completion date of 2027-02-28.

Brief Summary

Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease (cGVHD) is a common late complication following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and a leading non-relapse cause of death. It is often treatment-refractory, significantly affecting patients' quality of life and prognosis. This study will evaluate the feasibility, safety, and tolerability of gecacitinib, a novel JAK and ACVR1 inhibitor, in 24 patients with moderate-to-severe cGVHD who have undergone two or more prior therapies. Participants will receive gecacitinib hydrochloride tablets for at least 24 weeks. Patients demonstrating disease stability, as assessed by the investigator, may continue treatment with the study drug until week 60, unless intolerability, disease progression, or initiation of new systemic therapy, whichever occurs first.

Eligibility Criteria
