BACKGROUND: Chronic graft versus host disease (GvHD) is a serious complication of allogenic bone marrow transplantation. As prednisone and ciclosporine A are not always effective in its treatment, we investigated the value of thalidomide.
METHODS: We describe the results of thalidomide in 12 patients with chronic prednison/ciclosporin A refractory GvHD seen in our clinic since 1991. A case history is given as illustration.
RESULTS: Four patients had a complete remission of chronic GvHD on thalidomide; five patients showed a partial response. Of these five patients, three died eventually of respectively ongoing GvHD, pneumonia and recurrent leukemia. There were no serious side effects, except for one patient who had to stop thalidomide because of polyneuropathy.
CONCLUSIONS: It is worthwhile to give thalidomide in prednison/ciclosporin A refractory chronic GvHD. Probably thalidomide should be given earlier in the course of GvHD, this needs further study.
