Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Stage II to IV acute GI-GVHD subjects, having \>1000 mL stool per day, diarrhea \> 5 times/day, or abdominal cramping, bleeding or ileus, AND 2. Resistant to a first-line therapy with corticosteroids (CS) <!-- --> 1. Lack of improvement after 5 days of treatment with CS at 2 mg/kg/d methylprednisolone or other CS with equivalent dose, 2.

Allo-HSCT with any type of donor, stem cell source, GvHD prophylaxis or conditioning regimen. 4. Allow vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE) colonization and asymptomatic cytomegalovirus (CMV) viremia, which is defined as a detectable CMV viral load in plasma but without tissue-invasive disease. 5.

Subject must understand and voluntarily sign an informed consent form prior to any study-related assessments/procedures being conducted. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Absolute neutrophil count \< 500 cells/uL. 2. Absolute platelet count \< 30000 /uL which is not correctable by transfusion 3. Hemodynamically unstable status with the following conditions: systolic blood pressure \< 90 mm Hg, pulse oximeter oxygen saturation (SpO2) \< 90%, PaO2 \< 60 mm Hg, or respiratory rate \> 22/minute. 4. Uncontrolled and active infection from bacteria, virus, or fungus as determined by the investigators.
