  • Severe organ dysfunction including requirement for dialysis, mechanical ventilation or oxygen supplementation exceeding 40% FiO2 within 7 days of enrollment.
  • Creatinine clearance or estimated glomerular filtration rate \<30 ml/min as calculated by institutional practice (e.g., Cockcroft-Gault equation, CKD-EPI equation, etc)
  • A clinical presentation resembling de novo chronic GVHD or overlap syndrome developing before or present at the time of enrollment
  • Patients receiving corticosteroids \>10 mg/day prednisone (or other steroid equivalent) for any indication within 7 days before the onset of acute GVHD except for adrenal insufficiency or premedication for transfusions/IV meds
