Study Status: Recruiting
Recruit Status: Unknown status
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: A Pilot Study of Imatinib Mesylate in Steroid Refractory Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease

Brief Summary: To determine if subjects with steroid refractory cGVHD can tolerate imatinib mesylate and whether their cGVHD responds to imatinib mesylate.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Stanford University

Current Primary Outcome: The frequency of adverse events graded according to the CTCAE will be the primary endpoint [ Time Frame: Subjects will be monitored at 1, 4, 8, 16, and 24 weeks. ]

Original Primary Outcome: Determine the safety and tolerability of imatinib in steroid refractory cGVHD

Current Secondary Outcome:

Original Secondary Outcome:

  • Determine the overall response rate of steroid refractory cGVHD to imatinib.
  • Determine the treatment failure rate of imatinib for steroid refractory cGVHD.
  • Assess steroid reduction as a surrogate for cGVHD response to imatinib.
  • Evaluate subject reported quality of life outcomes.
