Multi-biomarker panel to predict prognosis and treatment response in intestinal acute graft-versus-host disease
Official title: Development of a Multi-biomarker Panel for Prognostic Stratification and Treatment Response Prediction in Acute Graft Versus Host Disease of the Gut
Run by IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna · NCT07305090 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study will test whether a set of clinical and lab biomarkers can predict who will do well or poorly and who will respond to treatment for intestinal acute GvHD after an allogeneic stem cell transplant.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients aged 12 or older who are undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, especially those who develop intestinal acute GvHD.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients younger than 12, people not undergoing allo-HSCT, or those without intestinal involvement of GvHD are unlikely to benefit directly from this work.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This observational study will collect clinical, transplant and experimental biomarker data from patients aged 12 and older treated with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation at IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna. The focus is on intestinal acute graft-versus-host disease, with serial measurement of candidate blood and clinical biomarkers and linkage to treatment and outcome data. Researchers will integrate these data to develop and validate a predictive algorithm for prognosis and treatment response. No investigational therapies are given; the goal is to create a tool to guide personalized care.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the biomarker panel could enable earlier, personalized treatment decisions that reduce mortality and treatment failure in intestinal aGvHD.
How similar studies have gone: Prior research has identified individual biomarkers (for example ST2 and Reg3α) and multimarker approaches have shown promise, although fully validated predictive algorithms are still limited.
