Therapeutic Effects of Hydrogen on Steroid-refractory/or Steroid-dependent cGVHD
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study suggested that hydrogen has a potential as an effective and safe therapeutic agent on cGVHD.

Detailed Description
The investigators will evaluate clinical response rate, time to treatment Failure (TTF), overall survival (OS), and toxicity in cGVHD patients.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Overall Response Rate (ORR) [12 months after date of start of Hydrogen]
Overall Response Rate (ORR) is defined as an Objective improvement at sixth month, and includes at least 1 of the following criteria: At least 50% reduction of body surface area involved; Reduction (at least 20%) of skin sclerosis, measured by Rodnan score Improvement>1 point in functional pulmonary tests, evaluated by LFS score; >50% steroid reduction (for at least 4 weeks)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Response Rate in each domain (RRD) [12 months after date of start of Hydrogen]
Response rate in each domain was measured in subjects that had had initial involvement in that domain
