Study of orBec® With Prednisone Therapy in the Treatment of Patients With Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) (SUPPORTS)

October 10, 2013 updated by: Soligenix

A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Study of the Safety and Efficacy of orBec® (Oral Beclomethasone 17,21-Dipropionate)in Conjunction With Ten Days of High-Dose Prednisone Therapy in the Treatment of Patients With Gastrointestinal GVHD

Use of an oral topically-active glucocorticoid with limited side effects will control the gastrointestinal inflammatory process of GVHD and minimize glucocorticoid exposure.
