Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease: Understanding
Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease: Overview
Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common immune complication that can occur after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT). Acute GVHD is a major health problem in these patients, and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Acute GVHD is caused by the recognition and the destruction of the recipient tissues and organs by the donor immune effector cells. This condition usually occurs within the first 3 months after alloHCT, but later onset is possible. Targeted organs include the skin, the lower and upper gastrointestinal tract and the liver.
Clinically, the diagnosis is suspected when a recipient of HSCT develops any or all of the following signs or symptoms: dermatitis (skin rash), cutaneous blisters, and crampy abdominal pain with or without diarrhea, persistent nausea and vomiting, hepatitis (with elevation of bilirubin and/or liver enzymes). Typically, these symptoms occur before day 100 after the HSCT, but may occur later. Symptoms most frequently start with donor engraftment, but may happen later. Acute GVHD is a clinical diagnosis but, as many the symptoms of acute GVHD are non-specific, histologic confirmation, especially if the symptoms are atypical or involve just the liver or gut, may be extremely useful.
Acute GvHD is of two types:
a) Classic acute Graft Versus Host Disease: This type includes the development of maculopapular rashes on the body and is accompanied by nausea, vomiting, anorexia, profuse diarrhea, ileus or cholestatic hepatitis occurring within 100 days after transplant.
b) Persistent, recurrent or late-onset acute Graft Versus Host Disease: This type involves the development of features of classic acute GVHD beyond 100 days of transplant.
The pathophysiology of acute GVHD involves three phases: 1) damage to host tissues by inflammation from the preparative chemo- and/or radio-therapy regimen, 2) activation of donor-derived T cells triggered by recipient and donor antigen-presenting cells and inflammatory cytokines, with minor histocompatibility antigens playing a central role, and 3) activated donor T cells mediating cytotoxicity against target host cells through mechanisms like Fas-Fas ligand, perforin-granzyme B, and the production of cytokines such as TNF-α, which has been implicated in GVHD pathophysiology.
The management of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) involves systemic steroids as the standard first-line treatment. For severe cases, various second-line options are available, including therapies like ATG, AAT, anti-TNF, MMF, anti-IL-2R, alemtuzumab, sirolimus, and others, which are now administered as third-line options. Standardizing assessment tools for disease severity, conducting detailed laboratory analyses, and identifying potential biomarkers are crucial steps in advancing GVHD management and developing targeted therapies.

Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease Emerging Drugs Chapters
This segment of the Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase III, II/III, II, I, preclinical and discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.
Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease Emerging Drugs
MaaT013: MaaT Pharma
MaaT Pharma is developing MaaT013, which is made up of allogeneic, full-ecosystem pooled biotherapeutic intestinal microbiota manufactured in France, per the GMP requirements. It is an off-the-shelf, standardized, pooled-donor, high-richness microbiome biotherapeutic in enema formulation. The product is characterized by a high diversity and consistent richness of microbial species. MaaT013 aims to restore the symbiotic relationship between the patient’s functional gut microbiome and their immune system to correct the responsiveness and tolerance of immune functions and thus reduce steroid-resistant, gastrointestinal-predominant aGvHD. The drug is currently being evaluated under Phase III clinical trial for the treatment of Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease.
Lenzilumab: Humanigen
Lenzilumab is a proprietary Humaneered first-in-class monoclonal antibody that has been proven to neutralize GM-CSF, a cytokine of critical importance in the hyperinflammatory cascade, sometimes referred to as cytokine release syndrome, or cytokine storm, associated with COVID-19 and other indications. Lenzilumab binds to and neutralizes GM-CSF, consequently improving outcomes for patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Humanigen believes that its GM-CSF neutralization has the potential to reduce the hyper-inflammatory cascade known as cytokine release syndrome common to chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy and aGvHD. The drug is currently being evaluated under Phase II/III clinical trial for the treatment of Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease.
Apraglutide: Ironwood Pharmaceuticals
Apraglutide is an investigational new drug that is a next-generation, long-acting synthetic GLP-2 analog being developed for a range of rare gastrointestinal diseases where GLP-2 can play a central role in addressing disease pathophysiology, including short bowel syndrome with intestinal failure (SBS-IF) and Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease (aGVHD). The drug is currently being evaluated under Phase II clinical trial for the treatment of Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease (aGVHD).
