  • Objective:

    Primary Objective:

    The primary objective of the randomized, dose finding portion of the trial is to compare the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of two ruxolitinib doses in the setting of GVHD prophylaxis. In this portion of the study, these three evaluations will be assessed by:
