Long-term follow-up of corticosteroid refractory acute GVHD treated with an Inolimomab-based algorithm: a single center experience.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Acute corticosteroid refractory GVHD (aGVHD) remains a challenging problem after allogeneic hematopoietic SCT. Even though immunosuppressive therapies may achieve a response, unsatisfactory aGVHD control and toxicity of high cumulative doses of corticosteroids are frequent, notably with an increased infection rate. We report long-term follow-up of 33 consecutive patients who developed corticosteroid refractory aGVHD in our institution, treated homogeneously according to a unique algorithm combining an induction treatment (Inolimomab, 0.3 mg/kg per day), an associated immunosuppression (Mycophenolate Mofetil) and a predefined management of partial responses (PR) by the switch from Cyclosporin to Tacrolimus, together with an intensive infectious monitoring and supportive care. In this cohort, 17 patients (52%) achieved a complete response (CR) and 14 patients (42%) a PR, which converted to CR for 12 patients after Tacrolimus introduction. Transplant related mortality (TRM) was 15.5% and 29.7% at 1 and 3 years, respectively. OS was 54.5% at 3 years. Multivariate analysis identified CR after Inolimomab therapy as the unique prognostic factor on OS. Among the 30 evaluable patients, 19 (63%) developed extensive chronic GVHD. This Inolimomab-based algorithm allows for an efficient control of corticosteroid refractory aGVHD in a high proportion of patients with low toxicity, and deserves further investigation.
