At T1, TNFR1, sIL-2Rα and TNFR2 were among the most strongly associated proteins for the development of aGvHD. Multiple inflammatory proteins, such as CXCL16, TNFR1 and SCF at T1 were highly associated with NRM and OS. At TP-GvHD, ST2 levels were significantly associated with the development of steroid-refractory aGvHD and NRM.

Therapeutic innovations have recently entered the MCL treatment landscape and are moving upstream in treatment algorithms, challenging the existing management principles. The purpose of this paper is to give some guidance regarding how to best use cellular therapies in this increasingly complex environment.

Recent preclinical data indicate that acute GVHD causes a loss of intestinal neuroendocrine L-cells leading to reduced levels of glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2). GLP-2 substitution improved GVHD severity and increased Paneth cells and intestinal stem cells in mice. This motivated us to treat patients with refractory intestinal aGHVD using the GLP-2-analogon teduglutide. In this retrospective multicenter survey, 17 patients received teduglutide as salvage-therapy for SR-intestinal aGVHD. The best response (CR or PR) at any time point during and after treatment was 64.7% (11/17) including 41.2% (7/17) CR and 23.5% (4/17) PR. At a median follow-up of 28 weeks after teduglutide 10/17 patients are alive. Most patients experienced an increase of the albumin serum level within 2 months after the first teduglutide dose, including patients who clinically did not respond to teduglutide treatment. No specific teduglutide-related toxicity was observed.
