TLDR
Key updates to these recommendations include a broader use of rabbit anti-T-cell globulin; lower steroid doses for the management of grade 2 acute GVHD with isolated skin or upper gastrointestinal tract manifestations; fluticasone, azithromycin, and montelukast should be used for bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome; and the addition of newer treatment options for resteroid-refractory acute and chronic GV HD.

Safety and Tolerability of SARS-CoV2 Emergency-Use Authorized Vaccines for Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients.

TL;DR: The safety and efficacy of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV2) emergency-use authorized (EUA) vaccines have been confirmed in the general population as discussed by the authors, but there are no data on its safety and tolerability or efficacy in recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT).

New Approaches for the Treatment of Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease: Current Status and Future Directions.

TL;DR: The current status and future directions of the use of these new drugs with particular spotlight on their targeting of specific intracellular signal transduction cascades important for cGvHD are presented, in order to shed some light on their possible mode of actions.

Graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis: Pathophysiology-based review on current approaches and future directions

TL;DR: In this paper, the combination of calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) plus mycophenolate mophetil (MMF) was compared to CNI plus methotrexate.

Hematopoietic cell transplantation in older patients with hematologic malignancies: replacing high-dose cytotoxic therapy with graft-versus-tumor effects

TL;DR: A novel allografting approach, based on the use of postgrafting immunosuppression to control graft rejection and GVHD, has dramatically reduced the acute toxicities of allogRAFTing.

Phase 3 study comparing methotrexate and tacrolimus with methotrexate and cyclosporine for prophylaxis of acute graft-versus-host disease after marrow transplantation from unrelated donors.

TL;DR: The combination of tacrolimus and MTX after unrelated donor marrow transplantation significantly decreased the risk for acute GVHD than did the combination of CSP andMTX, with no significant increase in toxicity, infections, or leukemia relapse.
