Impact of Exercise on the Complications of Corticosteroids in Patients With GVHD: the RESTART Trial

This study is about determining if an aerobic and resistance exercise intervention is feasible in patients diagnosed with acute or chronic GVHD (Graft-Versus-Host Disease) after having an allogeneic stem cell transplant. The names of the study interventions involved in this study are: * Aerobic and resistance exercise (A+R) - Home-based aerobic and resistance exercise program * Attention control (AC) - Home-based stretching program

The Safety and Efficacy of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT) for the Prevention of Graft-versus-host Disease (GVHD) in Patients Receiving Hematopoietic Cell Transplant

This study is a phase 2 / 3 prospective, double-blind, randomized, multicenter, placebo-controlled study for prevention of acute GVHD (aGVHD) in participants undergoing an unrelated (matched or single allele mismatched) or matched related allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT).

Extracorporal Photopheresis With UVADEX Plus Standard Steroid Treatment for High Risk Acute Graft-versus-host Disease

This is a single arm phase 2 trial which includes patients with high risk acute GVHD defined as Ann Arbor score 2 or 3. The purpose of the study is to improve the outcome of these patients in terms of response to treatment and treatment related mortality. All patients will receive the study intervention (ECP with Uvadex). The study hypothesis is that the treatment plan will produce a day 28 complete response rate higher than or equal to 52%, which will represent an improvement of 15% compared with the standard of care (37%). The rate of complete response to standard of care treatment is based on observed data in similar patients treated within the Mount Sanai Acute GVHD International Consorium (MAGIC). Patients will be treated for 56 days and followed for one year to also enable evaluation of long term outcome.

FMT in Gut aGVHD Treated

With the stem cell transplanting increasing, patients which effected with gut GVHD were also increased. To evaluation the safety and efficacy of FMT for gut GVHD,patients with gut GVHD were recruited.

ASC930 in Patients With Steroid-Refractory Acute Graft Versus Host Disease (SR-aGVHD)

Acute GVHD following allogeneic HCT is an immune-triggered process, leading to profound immune dysregulation and organ dysfunction. Despite pivotal advances, aGVHD is one of the leading causes of non-relapse mortality in patients undergoing HCT. Placenta-derived DSCs, isolated from the fetal membrane of maternal origin, are a type of stromal cells with well-characterized immunosuppressive properties. The current study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of 4 intravenous (IV) doses of ASC930 DSC cells in aGVHD patients.
