Brief Summary:
This clinical trial studies biomarkers in predicting response in patients with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) undergoing extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP). ECP treats the patient's blood with ultraviolet light outside the body and kills the white blood cells before returning blood back into the patient's body. Studying samples of blood from patients with GVHD may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to GVHD.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) Procedure: extracorporeal photopheresis Other: laboratory biomarker analysis Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To show that extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP)increases skin and gut homing T regulatory (T-reg) cells in patients with GVHD clinically responding to ECP.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Response rates of GVHD with extracorporeal photopheresis(ECP)as measured by NIH response criteria

II. Incidence of T-reg cell frequency(%)with various NIH subtypes of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)

III. Incidence of T-reg homing subsets(%)with various NIH subtypes of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo ECP twice a week for 4 weeks and then twice a week every 2 weeks for 8 weeks.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 2, 4, and 6 months.
