For cutaneous sclerosis, we observed large discrepancies in organ response rates according to the current NIH criteria and patient-reported improvement, highlighting the need for better measurement tools. High response rates for lung involvement with certain novel drugs deserve further investigation.

In the last ten years, the drugs ibrutinib, ruxolitinib, belumosudil and axatilimab were FDA-approved for cGVHD. Here we discuss which signaling pathways and cell types are targeted, the clinical studies that were the basis for FDA-approval, and future directions for clinical research.

PHENOTYPIC CHANGES IN SYSTEMIC IMMUNE CELLS IN RESPONSE TO AXATILIMAB IN HEALTHY MALE JAPANESE VOLUNTEERS (Firenze (S1)) - Feb 5, 2025 - Abstract #EBMT2025EBMT_2253; Changes in cell surface markers expressed on NCMs suggest that subpopulations of NCMs may represent newly generated monocyte progenitors and/or may represent existing NCMs with differential responses to axatilimab treatment. Further investigation regarding the effects of axatilimab on NCMs in patients with cGVHD is warranted.

Ruxolitinib Resistance or Intolerance in Steroid-Refractory Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease - a Real-World Single Center Analysis () - Dec 7, 2024 - Abstract #ASH2024ASH_9373; AML was the most common transplant indication (n = 24), 68% patients underwent marrow ablative conditioning and 96% (n = 45) patients received tacrolimus and methotrexate for GVHD prophylaxis...After ruxolitinib failure/intolerance, the three most common next line agents used were belumsoudil (51%), ECP (30%) and on trial axatilimab (4.5%)...Median duration on ECP was 466.5 (95% CI : [167, Not reached]) days.11 (25.6%) patients continued ruxolitinib while initiating 3rd line therapy of which 6 were concurrently on ECP (ORR 67%, 1 CR, 3 PR, 1 Stable disease [SD], 1 PD) while 3 were on belumosudil (ORR 67%, 2 PR, 1 SD).Conclusion : cGVHD remains a significant problem, with patients requiring therapy after ruxolitinib. Third line therapy provides modest benefit with responses in 38.5% of patients, creating potential for new drug development or utilizing current drugs as combinations for improved outcomes.

Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) still represents a challenge; among the compounds targeting non-immune effectors, Alvelestat, a Neutrophil elastase inhibitor, seems promising in BOS. Finally, in both aGVHD and cGVHD, the association of biological markers with specific disease manifestations could help refine risk stratification and the availability of reliable biomarkers for specific treatments.
