Hi @edb1123,
As you may already know, Jakafi (ruxolitinib) can be used to treat acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) when corticosteroids or other types of treatment did not work well enough.

Along with @lag630's response, @alive @lanaluka @lel and @loribmt might have additional experiences with Jakafi and GvHD to share with you.

Are you tapering off prednisone? Are you tolerating Jakafi and Cresemba (an antifungal) well?

Hi, Colleen: My liver enzymes are getting close to normal but the Prednisone is being tapered. I just started Jakafi yesterday and haven’t started Cresemba yet. Hopefully I won’t have any adverse effects from these new meds, and they will prevent me from getting GVHD in the future.
