Brief Summary

For numerous malignant diseases allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the only curative therapy. One of the major complications is the occurrence of acute graft-versus-host-disease (aGVHD). Thirty to eighty percent of patients after HSCT develop aGVHD despite the prophylactic application of different immunosuppressive drugs. The response rates to the conventional first line treatment are only 15-35%4. In case of a steroid refractory aGVHD different therapeutic strategies have been evaluated, but with no satisfactory results so far. The mortality of patients suffering from steroid refractory aGVHD remains at 75-80%. Therefore, it remains important to search for new therapeutical strategies for the treatment of aGVHD.

Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Newly diagnosed acute grade II-IV GVHD or chronic GVHD with an acute pattern matching grade II-IV after allogeneic stem cell transplantation
  • Patients must have received 2 mg/kg/day of prednisolon for at least 3 consecutive days and experience progression of GVHD or no response to at least 7 days of steroid treatment.
  • In addition to steroids the patient has received either cyclosporin
  • Written informed consent
  • MSC donor must be HIV, HTLV, hepatitis BS antigen, HCV and HBC, Treponema Pallidum antibody negative. MSC donors can be mismatched related donor, third party matched or mismatched donor.

You may not qualify if:
