    Abstract

    We performed a prospective phase II study to evaluate clinical safety and outcome in 48 patients with steroid-refractory grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) treated with mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). Clinical outcomes were correlated to comprehensive analyses of soluble and cellular biomarkers. Complete resolution (CR) of aGVHD at day 28 (CR-28) occurred in 12 (25%) patients, CR lasting 41 month (CR-B) occurred in 24 (50%) patients. One-year overall survival was significantly improved in CR-28 (75 versus 33%, P = 0.020) and CR-B (79 versus 8%, P
