Hi Katgob, Thank you for the inspiring story. It’s so helpful to hear from people who have done well. Can you share the name of the pill you were on that helped with preventing GVHD? I’d like to ask my doctors if they use that or something similar. Thank you.

I have been going to other pages and i missed this post. The pill was itacitnib. I found a study in google that talks about this being used for GVHD symptoms. The study I was in was to see how this works to stop gvhd from happening. You could look up the City of Hope study with this drug. It has been tested in other research hospitals around the country. I was the not the 1st trial. Maybe the 3rd after others had proved it works. They had 2 study times and i was in the 2nd. I am 157 days past transplant today. My 6 months is Oct 6th. NO GVHD. Why? Was it the combination of the Tacro and the itacitnib? I hope to be a person who shows that this pill combination works. My blood numbers and neutrophil counts have been good. The key is 6 months. Will i continue getting stronger?
