Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1.Known hypersensitivity or contraindications against Withaferin A. 2.Presence of an active uncontrolled infection defined as hemodynamic instability attributable to sepsis or new symptoms, worsening physical signs, or radiographic findings attributable to infection. 3.Any medical or psychiatric illness which precludes the participant from giving informed consent 4.Pregnancy, lactation, or inadequate contraception

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Phase 1 1.Safety and tolerability of oral SWA in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (by assessment of more than 3toxicity by CTCAE version 5 and PRO-CTCAE version 1. 2.To study the clinical pharmacokinetics of standardized Withaferin-A and establish recommended Phase II dose (RP2D). Phase 2 1.To determine the activity of WA in GvHD prophylaxis. (by assessing the cumulative incidence of clinically significant (Grade 2 to 4) aGvHD at Day 100) Timepoint: Phase 1 90 days Phase 2 100 days

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.To evaluate the cumulative incidence of severe aGvHD (grade 3-4) at Day 100 and Day 180. 2.To evaluate the GvHD free- and relapse free- survival (GRFS) rate at 1 year post transplant. 3.To study the incidence of chronic GvHD at 1 year post transplant. 4.To study engraftment kinetics. 5.To study the non-relapse mortality at 1 year post transplant. 6.To study the overall survival (OS) at 1 year post transplant. Timepoint: at Day 100 and Day 180, 1 year
