Measure
Etanercept and ECP
Etanercept and ECP (Extracorporeal Photopheresis) in addition to standard GVHD prevention: Etanercept will be given twice weekly by subcutaneous injection starting on the day of HSCT conditioning until 8 weeks post transplant. ECP treatments will begin at once weekly starting at 4 weeks post transplant and continue at less frequent intervals until 6 months post transplant. GVHD prophylaxis will consist of a standard two drug regimen: mycophenolate for 4 weeks and tacrolimus (titrated to a therapeutic level) for 8 weeks, then weaned over 4 months with discontinuation by 6 months post-transplant.
