18177 New Thinking on GVHD Management in HSCT Recipients: Focus on Underlying Immunology and Innovative Therapeutics 

In this activity, based on a recent live symposium at the 2018 BMT Tandem Meetings, experts in hematology-oncology and bone marrow transplantations take a deep dive into the underlying immunology of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and the latest evidence with approved and emerging classes of innovative therapeutics, as well as provide expert insight on the practical application of these advancements as prophylaxis or for treatment of acute and chronic, steroid-nonresponsive, and previously untreated GVHD.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of hematologist-oncologists, oncologists, BMT specialists and BMT nurse specialists, and other clinicians involved in the care of patients undergoing HCT.

Learning Objectives

  1. Describe the underlying immunology of post-transplant GVHD, and the rationale for and mechanisms of novel therapies in the management of GVHD
  2. Summarize efficacy and safety evidence on novel therapeutic options, such as JAK1/2 inhibitors and BTK inhibitors, for GVHD prophylaxis and treatment in HSCT recipients
  3. Recommend ongoing clinical trials assessing new strategies and combinations of agents to eligible patients with acute or chronic, steroid-naïve or steroid-refractory GVHD in the HSCT setting
