Response from Dr Gaziev

Bone Marrow Transplantation volume 26, pages 461–462 (2000)Cite this article

In our review,1 we discussed the current situation of treatment for chronic GVHD. Consequently, we mainly presented the results of frequently used treatment approaches for this complication. Obviously we did not analyse all experimental drugs reported in the literature. Regarding hydroxychloroquine therapy for chronic GVHD we will consider it in our further studies.

Conventional drugs (prednisone, cyclosporine or azathioprine) have been used in randomised and non-randomised trials as conventional therapy for chronic GVHD.2
