Abstract

The complexity of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and the lack of established research methods have made it difficult to design, conduct, and analyze clinical trials involving subjects with this disease, even when promising treatment options are available. This consensus document was developed to offer an approach for overcoming these obstacles. Clinical trials in chronic GVHD should adhere to principles of good trial design and practice. Inclusion and exclusion criteria should allow as many subjects to participate as possible without compromising the interpretation of results. Pre-enrollment assessment of chronic GVHD characteristics should be standardized. The protocol should provide clear guidance about administration of study medication and other interventions. Methods of assessing response should be defined and validated in advance. Efficacy endpoints should be selected to reflect clinical benefit. Expert biostatistical support is needed to ensure the validity and reliability of trial results. The use of consistent standards in clinical trial designs to evaluate agents that have activity in pathogenic pathways could facilitate advances in the treatment of chronic GVHD.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
