An Early Introduction of ECP for Patients with Steroid Refractory GVHD Is Associated with Better Outcome

Key Points

• Patients with steroid-refractory graft-vs-host disease show better clinical outcomes with early ECP treatment.
• Clinical outcomes improved significantly after initiating ECP early in the treatment process, particularly in severe cases.
• The study uses an observational analysis approach to assess the efficacy of early ECP in managing GVHD.
• Early intervention may enable better management of manageable graft-vs-host disease symptoms and reduce long-term complications.
