Last Updated: 2018-07-24

Results Overview

The incidence of grade 2-4 acute GVHD (Graft Versus Host Disease) by day 100 Grade 2 GVHD: Maculopapular rash covering 25-50% of BSA (Body Surface Area), bilirubin between 3.1-6 mg/dl, and/ or adult stool output between 1000-1500 ml/day (child between 20-30 ml/kg/day). Grade 3 GVHD: Maculopapular rash covering \>50% of BSA, bilirubin between 6.1-15 mg/dl, and/ or adult stool output \>1500 ml/day (child \>30 ml/kg/day).

Measure
Supportive Care (Vorinostat, Tacrolimus, Methotrexate)
Patients receive vorinostat PO BID on days -10 to 100. Beginning on day -3, patients receive tacrolimus IV continuously or PO BID (or cyclosporine IV continuously or PO in patients unable to tolerate tacrolimus) with taper on days 100-180. Patients also receive methotrexate IV QD on days 1, 3, 6, and 11.
