Steroid refractory acute graft-versus-host disease: Overview
Steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (SR-aGVHD) is a severe complication following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, where the disease persists or worsens despite high-dose steroid treatment. Affecting 35-50% of patients, SR-aGVHD is associated with a poor prognosis, with a 6-month survival rate of approximately 49%. Although alternative immunosuppressive therapies may provide partial responses in some patients, the overall outcomes remain challenging, and long-term survival is rare. The lack of effective treatment options has made SR-aGVHD a major cause of morbidity and mortality post-transplant. Ongoing research is focused on developing more targeted therapies to enhance survival and quality of life for patients with this complex disease.
The pathophysiology of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) unfolds in three distinct phases. Initially, conditioning treatments (e.g., chemotherapy or radiation) damage recipient tissues, triggering the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-α and IL-6, which activate host antigen-presenting cells (APCs). In phase II, these APCs activate donor-derived T cells through cytokines like IL-12 and IL-23, promoting Th1 cytokine production and T cell migration to target organs. In phase III, T cells and other immune cells, including natural killer cells, induce tissue damage through apoptosis. In contrast, the pathophysiology of steroid-refractory GVHD (SR-aGVHD) remains poorly understood. Although initial treatment targets T cells, refractory cases continue to experience organ damage, as indicated by persistently elevated levels of cytokeratin-18 fragments, a marker of epithelial apoptosis.
Steroid-refractory acute Graft-versus-Host Disease (SR-aGVHD) is diagnosed through a comprehensive clinical evaluation involving laboratory analysis, imaging, and potentially endoscopic examination to exclude alternative diagnoses. The diagnosis typically involves grading the severity from mild (grade I) to very severe (grade IV) using the modified Glucksberg staging system. SR-aGVHD is defined as disease progression after 3-5 days of steroid treatment or no response after 5-7 days of treatment, with the specific criteria potentially varying between medical centers. Histopathological confirmation through skin, liver, or mucous membrane biopsies can help substantiate the diagnosis, although these biopsies may lack complete sensitivity and specificity.
The treatment of steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (SR-aGVHD) remains a significant clinical challenge, with limited effective therapeutic options. Ruxolitinib, an FDA-approved Janus kinase inhibitor, has emerged as a key treatment, demonstrating substantial improvements in organ function and survival in clinical trials. In addition to ruxolitinib, second-line treatments include various immunosuppressive agents, as well as emerging therapies such as mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) therapy with remestemcel-L. Despite these advances, the weighted average 6-month survival estimate for patients with SR-aGVHD remains low, around 49%, underscoring the urgent need for more effective therapies. Treatment decisions are typically individualized, taking into account factors such as disease progression, patient characteristics, and the potential for treatment-related toxicity.
