Brief Summary: RATIONALE Hydroxychloroquine may decrease the immune response and be effective in treating chronic graft-versus-host disease It is not yet known if standard therapy for graft-versus-host disease is more effective with or without hydroxychloroquine

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of standard therapy alone with that of standard therapy plus hydroxychloroquine in treating patients who have newly diagnosed chronic graft-versus-host disease
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Compare the efficacy of prednisone and cyclosporine with vs without hydroxychloroquine in patients with newly diagnosed extensive chronic graft-versus-host disease GVHD

Secondary

Compare the event-free and overall survival in patients treated with these regimens
Compare the health-related quality of life including longitudinal change in and magnitude of persistent disability in patients treated with these regimens
Correlate cytokine levels and T-helper cell subtypes with chronic GVHD activity and response in patients treated with these regimens
Correlate whole blood hydroxychloroquine levels with response and toxicity in patients treated with these regimens

OUTLINE This is a randomized placebo-controlled double-blind multicenter study Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms

Patients may receive standard therapy comprising prednisone orally or IV 2-3 times daily or every other day and cyclosporine orally or IV twice daily or tacrolimus orally twice daily or IV by continuous infusion before randomization Patients not receiving cyclosporine or tacrolimus prior to randomization may receive cyclosporine or tacrolimus after randomization according to institutional preference

Arm I Within 10-14 days of beginning therapy with prednisone and cyclosporine or tacrolimus patients receive oral hydroxychloroquine twice daily
Arm II Patients receive standard therapy with prednisone and cyclosporine or tacrolimus as in arm I and oral placebo twice daily

In both arms treatment continues for 9 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Patients with no response after 2 months of therapy are taken off study

Quality of life is assessed at baseline 1 month 9 months and 1 year

Patients are followed every month for 3 months and at 9 months

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 232 patients 116 per treatment arm will be accrued for this study within 36 years
