Infliximab treatment for steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Tumor necrosis factor a is one of the principal cytokines involved in the pathogenesis of acute graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD). Infliximab is an antibody to this cytokine. DESIGN AND METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis to evaluate the activity of infliximab in 32 patients with severe steroid-refractory acute GVHD. The patients received a median of 3 weekl...
متن کاملRuxolitinib in steroid refractory graft-vs.-host disease: a case report
BACKGROUND Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is potentially curative in a variety of hematological malignancies. Graft-vs.-host disease (GvHD) remains a life-threatening complication. Standard treatment is high-dose (HD) corticosteroids. Steroid-refractory (SR) GvHD is associated with poor prognosis. At present, second-line treatment is ill-defined and includes a number ...
متن کاملRituximab for steroid-refractory chronic graft-versus-host disease.
B cells may be implicated in the pathophysiology of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), as evidenced by antibody production against sex-mismatched, Y chromosome-encoded minor HLA antigens in association with chronic GVHD. We therefore designed a phase 1/2 study of anti-B-cell therapy with rituximab in steroid-refractory chronic GVHD. Twenty-one patients were treated with 38 cycles of ritu...
متن کاملNarrowband UV-B Phototherapy for Steroid-Refractory Sclerotic Chronic Cutaneous Graft-vs-Host Disease.
IMPORTANCE Chronic graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) affects 50% to 70% of patients who receive allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplants (HCTs), and the skin is the most common site of involvement. Chronic cutaneous GVHD can present with sclerotic or nonsclerotic changes of the skin and often requires treatment with systemic immunosuppressants, extracorporeal photopheresis, or phototherapy. We desc...
متن کاملTreatment of steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease with anti-CD147 monoclonal antibody ABX-CBL.
ABX-CBL, an immunoglobulin M murine monoclonal antibody, recognizes CD147 and initiates cell killing through complement-mediated lysis. In a dose-finding trial, 27 patients with steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) received ABX-CBL at 0.01 (presumed no effect dose), 0.1, 0.2, or 0.3 mg/kg per day, and an additional 32 patients were given ABX-CBL at 0.2 or 0.15 mg/kg per day...
