Official Title: A Randomized Phase II Study of Imatinib and Rituximab for Cutaneous Sclerosis After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

Brief Summary: This randomized phase II trial is evaluating how well imatinib mesylate works compared to rituximab in treating cutaneous sclerosis in patients with chronic graft- versus-host disease (GVHD). Both imatinib and rituximab have been reported to decrease skin thickening and improve skin and joint flexibility in people with cutaneous sclerosis due to chronic GVHD.
