The treatment of GvHD focuses on immunosuppression. Immunosuppression is usually achieved by administering steroids, auch as prednisone or methylprednisolone. Alternative agents include immunophilins like cyclosporine or tacrolimus. Ruxolitinib has been used for GvHD that is refractory to steroids.
