Summary
This study tested whether adding a low dose of Interleukin-2 (IL-2) to a standard therapy called Extra-Corporeal Photopheresis (ECP) could help people with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) that did not respond to steroids. cGVHD is a serious condition where donor immune cells attack the recipient's body after a stem cell transplant. The trial enrolled 25 adults and measured how many had a response after 16 weeks of treatment.
