Thus, Eltrombopag is an efficacious and possibly cost-effective therapy for thrombocytopenia and PGF after allogeneic HCT.Two randomised trials (ASTIS, SCOT) of Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AHSCT) versus monthly Cyclophosphamide for severe Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) patients used similar inclusion criteria, but different primary endpoints event-free-survival (EFS) at 24 months in ASTIS versus the global rank composite score (GRCS) at 54 months in SCOT. Here we analysed the French ASTIS cohort (n = 49) outcome using the same GRCS endpoint as reported in SCOT. All patients, randomised to AHSCT (n = 26) or Cyclophosphamide (n = 23), were evaluated for the non-parametric GRCS endpoint based on death, EFS, forced vital capacity (FVC), Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) and modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS) at 60 months. Secondary endpoints were EFS, overall survival (OS), HAQ DI and organ status. In intention-to-treat analysis, the GRCS demonstrated superiority for AHSCT (median 9 versus -19, p = 0.018), mRSS (Δ mRSS -16 versus -9, p = 0.02), and HAQ-DI (ΔHAQ-DI -0.89 versus -0.2, p = 0.05) with no significant difference in OS, EFS, lung, heart and kidney function between the groups. In conclusion, this study demonstrates long term benefits of non-myeloablative AHSCT when assessed by the five longitudinal measures within GRCS affording direct primary endpoint comparison between ASTIS and SCOT.Steroid-refractory (SR) acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) remains a significant complication after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. Systemic corticosteroids are first-line therapy for aGvHD, but apart from ruxolitinib, there are no approved treatments for SR aGvHD. Vedolizumab is approved for treatment of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, an
