The final segment explores the potential role of axatilimab, a novel agent, in the management of refractory cGvHD, highlighting its mechanism of action and potential efficacy compared to existing treatment options.

Yi-Bin Chen, MD, proposes a strategy to enhance patients' quality of life by utilizing virtual monitoring as an alternative to requiring patients to travel to a transplant center, which includes regular remote assessments of blood work, such as liver function tests, lipid panels, and immunoglobulin levels.

A medical expert delves into various aspects of second-line therapies, including dose reductions, potential adverse reactions, and the possibility of transfusions, all of which are important considerations when managing patients on second-line treatments.

Arvind Dasari, MD, explores the adverse event profile of Fruquintinib, highlighting its apparent tolerability, while emphasizing the importance of gathering real-world data to further assess the adverse event profile of this medication in clinical practice.
