Circulating B-cell activating factor level predicts clinical response of chronic graft-versus-host disease to extracorporeal photopheresis.

Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is an important therapeutic option in steroid-refractory chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD). Few biomarkers predicting response exist. We measured serum B-cell activating factor (BAFF) in 46 cGVHD patients receiving ECP before and during treatment course. BA...
