Study Summary

This phase I trial tests the safety and side effects of leflunomide in combination with steroids in treating patients with acute graft versus host disease who have undergone done stem cell transplant for blood cancers (hematologic malignancies). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can attack the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease). Leflunomide and steroids are immunosuppressive drugs that work in different ways to lower the body's immune response so that the new donor immune cells do not attack the body's normal cells. Giving leflunomide in combination with steroids may help treat acute graft versus host disease in patients after stem cell transplant for hematologic malignancies.

Primary Outcome

Toxicity will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI)-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0. Unacceptable toxicity (UT) evaluation period will be from starting first loading dose of leflunomide to occurrence of UTs, or stopping leflunomide due to graft versus host disease (GVHD) progression, or day +28, whichever comes first.
