About this study
Official title: A Phase I/II, Open-Label, Dose-Escalation, Pilot Study to Evaluate Safety and Preliminary Efficacy of Visilizumab as Primary Therapy for Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease After Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation
The purpose of this Phase I/II, open-label, dose-escalation study is to evaluate an investigational monoclonal antibody administered as a first-line therapy to patients with acute, Grade II, III, or IV graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Patients will be eligible for enrollment within 24 hours of beginning standard steroid treatment. The research is being conducted at up to 10 clinical research sites in the US.
Read the detailed description
A Phase I/II, open-label, dose-escalation pilot study designed to obtain preliminary safety, pharmacokinetic (PK) and efficacy information on visilizumab administered as a first-line therapy to patients with acute, Grade II, III, or IV graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). It is anticipated that up to 34 patients at up to 10 study centers could be eligible for enrollment in this study. Patients will be eligible for enrollment within 24 hours of beginning standard steroid treatment (2 mg/kg of methylprednisolone IV, or 10 mg/kg hydrocortisone IV, per day). Steroids will be rapidly tapered over one week following visilizumab administration.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing Visilizumab in people with Graft vs Host Disease, run by Facet Biotech at 7 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Mar 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 7 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Mar 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
