On April 14, 2024, the GvHD Hub held a symposium at the 50th European Society for Bone and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) Annual Meeting on the role of extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) in the management of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD).

Here, we share the presentation by Florent Malard, Hôpital Saint-Antoine and Sorbonne Université, Paris, FR, that explored early intervention and ECP-based combinations. Mallard covered use of ECP first-line, as well as ECP combinations in patients with steroid-refractory and steroid-dependent cGvHD, including recent approvals and findings from clinical trials.
