Study Overview

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Hydroxychloroquine may decrease the immune response and be effective in treating chronic graft-versus-host disease. It is not yet known if standard therapy for graft-versus-host disease is more effective with or without hydroxychloroquine.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of standard therapy alone with that of standard therapy plus hydroxychloroquine in treating patients who have newly diagnosed chronic graft-versus-host disease.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Compare the efficacy of prednisone and cyclosporine with vs without hydroxychloroquine in patients with newly diagnosed extensive chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).

Secondary

  • Compare the event-free and overall survival in patients treated with these regimens.
  • Compare the health-related quality of life, including longitudinal change in and magnitude of persistent disability, in patients treated with these regimens.
  • Correlate cytokine levels and T-helper cell subtypes with chronic GVHD activity and response in patients treated with these regimens.
  • Correlate whole blood hydroxychloroquine levels with response and toxicity in patients treated with these regimens.
