Overview
Tab Title Description
Study type
InterventionalDescribes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
- Observational study — observes people and measures outcomes without affecting results.
- Interventional study (clinical trial) — studies new tests, treatments, drugs, surgical procedures or devices.
- Medical records research — uses historical information collected from medical records of large groups of people to study how diseases progress and which treatments and surgeries work best.

About this study
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the inhibition of lymphocyte proliferation in ECP treated MNC samples obtained from cGVHD subjects treated with the AMICUS ECP System.
Participation eligibility
Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Subjects previously started on and currently receiving ECP therapy for cGVHD.
- Subjects with a diagnosis of cGVHD manifesting at least as skin GVHD after stem cell or marrow transplant from a related or unrelated donor.
- Subjects with adequate renal, hepatic, pulmonary and cardiac function to enable the subject to tolerate the extracorporeal volume shifts associated with ECP, including ending procedure with a positive fluid balance (~> 650 mL of saline/anticoagulant infused), as determined by the investigator’s clinical judgment.
- Subjects with a white blood cell count ≥ 1,000/μ and platelet count ≥ 25,000/μL.
- Subjects with an estimated GFR from serum creatinine ≥ 30 mL/min/BSA and AST between 10-120 units/L.
- Physician evaluation of subjects’ pulmonary and cardiac function will be done by physical exam and evaluated against New York Heart Associate (NYHA) Classification for cardiac disease. Only subjects in Class I or Class II may participate in the study.
- Women of childbearing potential must agree to use a reliable method of birth control for the duration of the study.
- Subjects who weigh ≥ 50 kg (110 lb).
- Eligible male subjects will either be:
- Surgically sterile (i.e., vasectomy), for at least 3 months prior to screening OR agree to use a condom with spermicide when sexually active with a female partner who is not using an acceptable method of birth control during the study and for 30 days after last study medication administration.
- Subjects with a systolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg.
- Subjects must be between the ages of 18 – 80 years.
- Subjects must be able and willing to comply with all study procedures.
- Subjects who have provided a signed informed consent form prior to participating in any study procedures.
- Subjects with sufficient vascular access to accommodate the ECP procedure as determined by the medical staff responsible for obtaining intravenous access.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Subjects with a hypersensitivity and/or allergy to psoralen (methoxsalen).
- Subjects who are participating in another clinical trial for treatment of cGVHD within 7 days prior to enrollment.
- Subjects who are concurrently participating in another clinical trial, except observational studies.
- Subjects with active gastrointestinal bleeding.
- Subjects who have any overt signs of relapse of the underlying condition, related to allogeneic transplant.
- Subjects who have an uncontrolled viral, fungal, or bacterial infection.
- Subjects who have a Total bilirubin value ≥15 mg/dL.
- Subjects who have veno-occlusive liver disease.
- Subjects who have a life expectancy < 8 weeks.
- Subjects who require invasive ventilation or vasopressor support.
- Subjects who have a known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or hepatitis B or C virus infection.
- Subjects who have a known hypersensitivity or allergy to Anticoagulant Citrate Dextrose Formula-A (ACD-A).
- Females who are pregnant and/or lactating.
- Subjects with aphakia.
- Subjects with a history of a light-sensitive disease state including, but not limited to:
- Lupus erythematosus;
- Porphyria cutanea tarda;
- Erythropoietic protoporphyria;
- Variegate porphyria;
- Xeroderma pigmentosum;
- Albinism.
- Subjects who are receiving concomitant therapy with known photosensitizing agents, including but not limited to:
