Abstract

This year we published our phase II results, that suggest montelukast may safely halt the progression of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome which is a severe manifestation of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) following hematopoietic cell transplantation. In a collaborative study, we found a high frequency of musculoskeletal symptoms in a cohort of adult patients with cGVHD. The multivariable logistic regression models showed that a joint set of factors were moderately well associated with musculoskeletal symptoms in this study. In addition, we found durable clinical and serologic remissions with suppression in the IFN gene signature can be achieved in refractory systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) following lymphodepleting autologous haematopoietic cell transplantation (AHSCT).
