Novel developments in the prophylaxis and treatment of acute GVHD

© 2023 by The American Society of Hematology..

Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is a major life-threatening complication after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant. Traditional standard prophylaxis for aGVHD has included a calcineurin inhibitor plus an antimetabolite, whereas treatment has relied mainly on corticosteroids, followed by multiple nonstandard second-line options. In the past decade, this basic framework has been reshaped by approval of antithymocyte globulin products, the emergence of posttransplant cyclophosphamide, and recent pivotal trials studying abatacept and vedolizumab for GVHD prophylaxis, whereas ruxolitinib was approved for corticosteroid-refractory aGVHD treatment. Because of this progress, routine acute GVHD prophylaxis and treatment practices are starting to shift, and results of ongoing trials are eagerly awaited. Here, we review recent developments in aGVHD prevention and therapy, along with ongoing and future planned clinical trials in this space, outlining what future goals should be and the limitations of current clinical trial designs and end points.
