ABOUT CHRONIC GRAFT-VERSUS-HOST DISEASE
According to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines for Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT), chronic GVHD is the leading cause of non-relapse mortality following allogeneic HCT. Chronic GVHD often develops within the first year after allogeneic HCT. Chronic GVHD can affect multiple organ systems including, but not limited to, skin, gastrointestinal tract, liver, lungs, eyes, muscles, and joints and is characterized by fibrosis and variable clinical features similar to autoimmune disorders due to transplanted immune cells attacking the patient’s host tissues. While first-line treatment for chronic GVHD involves systemic corticosteroids, up to 50% of patients will develop steroid-refractory disease and will require alternative treatment options.1 Presently, about 14,000 patients are living with chronic GVHD in the United States.2
