17 Summary of Example # 1 Diane has the following GVHD scoring: Skin score – 1 Mouth score – 1 Eyes score -1

18 Global Scoring of Chronic GVHD

19 Chronic GVHD Global Score at time of this Assessment for Example # 1  Mild  Moderate  Severe

20 Chronic GVHD Global Score at time of this Assessment for Example # 1  Mild X Moderate  Severe

21 Example # 2 Julie is a 40 year old female Six month cGVHD assessment – July 27, 2011 On June 10 2011 noted that she started 50mg of prednisone after seeing a respirologist for an FEV1 of 45% and FEV/VC predicted and severe SOB on any exertion Respirologist opinion: bronchiolitis obliterans with interstitial lung disease post stem cell transplant secondary to graft versus host disease She has no other features of cGVHD in any other organ

22 Example # 2 Does Julie have any diagnostic or distinctive features of chronic graft versus host disease?

23 Assessing Lungs According to NIH Guidelines Diagnostic:  Bronchiolitis obliterans diagnosed with lung biopsy Distinctive:  Bronchiolitis obliterans diagnosed with PFTs & radiology The following criteria must be present regarding BO:  FEV in 1 second/forced vial capacity ratio <0.7 and FEV in 1 second 75% of predicted.  Evidence of air trapping or small airway thickening or bronchiectasis on high- resolution chest CT scan (with inspiratory and expiratory cuts) residual volume >120%, or pathologic confirmation of constrictive bronchiolitis.  Absence of infection in the respiratory tract, documented with investigations directed by clinical symptoms, such as radiologic studies (radiographs or chest CT scans) or microbiologic cultures (sinus aspiration, URTI screen, sputum culture, or bronchalveolar lavage).

73 Case Study # 5 George is a 52 year old man who is 12 months post HPCT He arrives for his Month 12 study visit Up until his arrival at the clinic there has been no note of a diagnosis of chronic GVHD At the clinic visit the physical exam shows he has significant contractures to his arms and the skin over his shins is immobile (hidebound) George states his arms and shins have been that way for 3 months

74 Does George have chronic GVHD? Yes. (contractures and sclerosis/hidebound skin are diagnostic) Should the Part A & B Worksheet be completed retrospectively for Month 9? Yes. The GVHD Scoring Worksheet should also be completed. What is the date of onset (diagnosis)? Month 9. (The patient is a reliable historian.) Should the Part A & B Worksheet be completed at Month 12? It is optional. The Study Visit Worksheet can be completed instead. The GVHD Scoring Worksheet should be completed (It is mandatory). When should the Immunosuppressive Therapy Worksheet be completed re: George’s visits? Month 9 and Month 12.
