Clinical Trials
Research
Dr. Holtzman is involved in clinical research focused on improving post-HSCT outcomes for hematologic malignancy patients, including immunomodulatory strategies for prevention of post-HSCT relapse. She is active in clinical trials evaluating JAK inhibitors and other new agents for treatment of refractory chronic GVHD on the team led by Dr. Steven Pavletic. Dr. Holtzman is also involved in the implementation of several clinical trial protocols for treatment of MDS under the new NIH myeloid malignancies program.
