Per journal article "retrospective multicenter study of extracorporeal photopheresis in steroid-refractory acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease" by gillen oarbeascoa, maria luisa lozano, luisa maria guerra, cristina amunarriz, concepcion andon saavedra, jose maria garcia-gala, aurora viejo, nuria revilla, cynthia acosta fleitas, jose luis arroyo, eva martinez revuelta, andrea galego, dolores hernandez-maraver, mi kwon, jose luis diez-martin, cristina pascual extracorporeal photopheresis (ecp) is an established treatment strategy in steroid-refractory graft-versus-host disease (gvhd).This study¿s main objective was to analyze the clinical response and impact of ecp therapy in steroid dose reduction.A retrospective observational series of 113 patients from 7 transplantation centers was analyzed.Sixty-five patients (58%) had acute gvhd (agvhd), and 48 (42%) had chronic gvhd (cgvhd).All ecp procedures were performed with the off-line system.The median number of procedures until achievement of initial response was 3 for both patients with agvhd and those with cgvhd.Ecp was the second-line therapy in 48% of the agvhd cases and in 50% of the cgvhd cases.71% of the cases of agvhd were grade iii-iv, and 69% of the cases of cgvhd were severe.The overall response rate on day 28 was 53% (complete response [cr] rate, 45%) in the patients with agvhd and 67% (cr, 23%) in those with cgvhd.Skin was the most frequently involved organ, with a response rate of 58% (cr, 49%) in the patients with agvhd and 69% (cr 29%) in those with cgvhd.At the end of ecp treatment, 60% of patients treated for agvhd who responded were able to stop steroid therapy, with a median dose reduction of 100%.Significant differences in overall survival were observed for patients responding to ecp with agvhd (hazard ratio [hr], 4.3; p <.001) and with cgvhd (hr, 4.8; p =.003).Our data indicate that ecp is a valid therapeutic alternative in patients with steroid-refractory agvhd and cgvhd, permitting significant steroid dosage reductions.Specific details, such as patient information and outcome, were not included in the article for these events, therefore this report is being provided as a summary of the events.It is unknown at this time if medical intervention was required for these events the collection set is not available for return because it was discarded by the customer.
