Clinical Trial Summary

Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is a long-lasting complication that can occur after transplants. The transplanted cells seem to fight with the patient's own cells.

Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is a fairly new procedure for cGVHD. The participant gets a port to hook up to a machine. The machine removes the white blood cells, mixes them with a light-sensitive drug, shines light on it, and puts all the blood back in.

This study will find out if patients respond better if they get ECP with methoxsalen, in addition to the pills normally used to treat cGVHD.


Clinical Trial Description

The investigation of extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) plus standard of care (SoC) (SoC+ECP) in chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) within prospective, randomized clinical studies is limited, despite its frequent clinical use.

This phase 1/pilot study was the first randomized, prospective study to investigate ECP use as first-line therapy in cGVHD, based on the 2015 National Institutes of Health (NIH) consensus criteria for diagnosis and response assessment.

Adult patients with new-onset (≤3 years of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation) moderate or severe cGVHD were randomized 1:1 to 26 weeks of SoC+ECP vs SoC (corticosteroids and cyclosporine A/tacrolimus) between 2011 and 2015. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR), defined as complete or partial response, at week 28 in the intention-to-treat population (ITT). ;
