Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is a cellular therapy indicated in the treatment of chronic GVHD (cGVHD). In this study protocol, patients suffering from inaugural cGVHD will be treated with the association of ECP and corticosteroid treatment. Treatment will start by an induction stage with 2 sessions of ECP per week until the 10th week followed by a maintenance stage including one session every other week until the 22th week. The objective of this study is to highlight the immunological mechanism of extracorporeal photopheresis treatment. Indeed, ECP is based on an immunomodulatory immunological effect and despite several hypotheses highlighted by different teams; clear mechanisms still need to be defined. This French multicenter study realize an immunological follow-up before and during treatment to elucidate the impact of ECP on immune system of responder patient.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment

Patients treated with ECP and corticosteroid as first-line treatment for cGVHD

Diagnostic Test: Blood samples
Blood samples (42mL) will be taken before and during treatment.

Diagnostic Test: skin biopsy
skin biopsy will be taken before and during treatment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Changes in circulating immunocompetent subsets for responder and non-responder patients treated with ECP in inaugural cGVHD. [at 6-week follow-up]

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Changes in circulating immunocompetent subsets frequency for responder and non-responder patients treated with ECP in inaugural cGVHD. [at 22-week follow-up]

  2. Response rate (complete and partial response) according to NIH criteria [at 10 weeks and at 22 weeks]

    Efficacy of ECP in inaugural cGVHD in combination with immunosuppressive therapy (prednisone + ciclosporin)

  3. Comparison of serum and tissue biomarkers in responder and non-responder patients between the initial treatment and 6-week follow-up. [at baseline, at 6 week follow-up]

  4. QLQ-C30 version 3.0 [between 10-week and 22-week follow-ups.]

    Evaluation of the quality of life for patients. QLQ-C30 is a composite score. QLQ-C30 Summary Score = (Physical Functioning+ Role Functioning+ Social Functioning+ Emotional Functioning+ Cognitive Functioning+ 10 0-Fatigue+ 100 Pain+ 100 Nausea_Vomiting+ 100 Dyspnoea+ 100 Sleeping Disturbances+ 100 Appetite Loss+ 100 Constipation+ 100 Diarrhoea)/13
