Diagnostiek en classificatie van chronische GvHD
Diagnose cGvHD (zie tabel 1 en 2):
- Aanwezigheid van 1 diagnostische bevinding of
- Aanwezigheid van 1 karakteristieke (distinctive) bevinding bevestigd door histologisch, radiologisch of ander (bijv. Schirmer test) onderzoek met uitsluiting van andere potentiële oorzaken.
Classificatie van cGvHD (zie tabel 1 en 2):
- Mild:
≤ 2 orgaanlokalisaties (long uitgesloten) met orgaan score 1 - Moderate:
≥ 1 orgaanlokalisaties met orgaan score 2
OF
≥ 3 orgaanlokalisaties met orgaan score 1
OF
Longlokalisatie score 1 - Severe:
Orgaan score 3 in welk orgaan dan ook
OF
Longlokalisatie score ≥ 2
Tabel 1. Signs and symptoms of cGvHD
AP indicates alkaline phosphatase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AIHA, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, ITP, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. 1 In all cases, infection, drug effect, malignancy, or other causes must be excluded. 2 Can be acknowledged as part of the chronic GVHD manifestations if diagnosis is confirmed. 3 Common refers to shared features by both acute and chronic GVHD. 4 BOS can be diagnostic for lung chronic GVHD only if distinctive sign or symptom present in another organ (see text). 5 Pulmonary entities under investigation or unclassified. 6 Diagnosis of chronic GVHD requires biopsy.

ECOG indicates Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group; KPS, Karnofsky Performance Status; LPS, Lansky Performance Status; BSA, body surface area; ADL, activities of daily living; KCS, keratoconjunctivitis sicca; AP, alkaline phosphatase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; ULN, normal upper limit. 1 Skin scoring should use both percentage of BSA involved by disease signs and the cutaneous features scales. When a discrepancy exists between the percentage of total body surface (BSA) score and the skin feature score, OR if superficial sclerotic features are present (Score 2), but there is impaired mobility or ulceration (Score 3), the higher level should be used for the final skin scoring. 2 Weight loss within 3 months. 3 Lung scoring should be performed using both the symptoms and FEV1 scores whenever possible. FEV1 should be used in the final lung scoring where there is discrepancy between symptoms and FEV1 scores. 4 To be completed by specialist or trained medical providers. |

Prednison afbouwschema bij chronische GvHD
* Alternerend ene dag 1.0 en andere dag 0.5 of 0.25. Als een exacerbatie optreedt, verhoog dan de dosis met 2 levels. De betreffende dosering kan dan eerst 2 – 4 weken dagelijks gegeven worden, daarna weer teruggaan naar het alternerende schema. Vervolgens 3 maanden zo doorgaan voor weer een dosisverlaging uit te voeren.
Richtlijnen voor het starten van 2de lijnsbehandeling:
Internationaal is er geen consensus over de optimale tweedelijns behandelingsstrategie. Keuzes voor behandelingen worden gemaakt o.b.v. ervaring, gebruiksgemak, risico op toxiciteit, lokale beschikbaarheid en kans op relapse van de primaire ziekte. Een overzicht van de beschikbare therapieën en mate van beschikbaar wetenschappelijk bewijs volgens de SORT criteria staat gegeven in onderstaande tabel, waarbij de SCT werkgroep vooralsnog geen voorkeur uit kan spreken, dus de volgorde geen hiërarchie aangeeft. Onderstaande tabel geeft daarom de in te zetten optie in alfabetische volgorde weer.
Indien beschikbaar blijven ook PUVA, UVA lichttherapie en ECP behandelingen die overwogen kunnen worden.

Profylactische maatregelen
- CMV / EBV monitoring volgens bijbehorende documenten; zie CMV monitoring, EBV monitoring.
- Schimmelprofylaxe:
- Start schimmelprofylaxe in elk geval bij hoge dosis prednison > 1 mg/kg. Indien toxiciteit optreedt, bepaalt het individuele risicoprofiel (eerdere invasieve Aspergillose, duur expositie aan prednison) de noodzaak voor continueren. Bij patiënten met een hoog risicoprofiel wordt geadviseerd schimmelprofylaxe zo mogelijk te continueren gedurende de gehele periode van prednisongebruik. Als er geen voriconazol of posaconazol wordt gebruikt, geef dan wel profylaxe voor orale candidiasis, te weten fluconazol 1 dd 50mg.
- Doseringen: posaconazol 1 dd 300 mg (tabletten) per os.
Bij twijfel over adequate resorptie spiegels bepalen na minimaal 5 dagen gebruik (cave verlaagde spiegels bij gebruik protonpompremmer).
Zo nodig overgaan op voriconazol 2 dd 200 mg of posaconazol 1 dd 300 mg intraveneus.
- Protonpompremmer.
- Alendroninezuur 1 x per week 70 mg per os.
- Calciumzout / vitamine D3 1 dd 500 mg / 800 I.E. per os.
