Your doctor may try multiple medicines to help treat the imbalance of your immune system that occurs with chronic GVHD. As chronic GVHD is a long-term condition, treatment may stop working over time. For some people, a different treatment like REZUROCK may help. REZUROCK is the only approved medicine for chronic GVHD that blocks the ROCK2 pathway in your body.

Voice-over: How REZUROCK (belumosudil) works for chronic graft-versus-host disease.
USE
REZUROCK® (belumosudil) is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older with chronic graft-versus-host disease (chronic GVHD) after you have received at least 2 prior treatments (systemic therapy) and they did not work. It is not known if REZUROCK is safe and effective in children less than 12 years old.
Please see Important Safety Information at the end of this video.
Voice-over: Chronic graft-versus-host disease, or chronic GVHD, is a complex and difficult disorder that may happen to some people after a blood stem cell transplant.
In chronic GVHD, stem cells from a donor attack the body's cells because they see them as a threat.
This disrupts the harmony of the immune system, causing it to become unbalanced.
This leads to inflammation, also called swelling, and fibrosis, also called hardening or scarring, which can damage your organs.
Health care providers may try different medicines, including immunosuppressants, to help treat chronic GVHD. However, for some people that might not be enough, and they will need a different approach.
An innovative approach is to use a medicine that blocks a pathway in your body called the ROCK2 pathway.
In people with chronic GVHD, this ROCK2 pathway is too active. This leads to a decrease in cells and molecules that help keep the immune system in check and an increase in cells and molecules that cause inflammation and fibrosis. The result is an immune system that is out of balance.
REZUROCK is that medicine. It works differently to block the ROCK2 pathway.
Voiceover: REZUROCK is the only approved medicine for chronic GVHD that specifically blocks the ROCK2 pathway. It may reduce inflammation and fibrosis and help rebalance the immune system.
When the immune system moves back toward balance and harmony, people with chronic GVHD may see an improvement in their condition…and ROCK ON!
ROCK ON with REZUROCK.

An overactive ROCK2 pathway may play a role in chronic GVHD. How does that impact your body?
Many systems in the body work through what are called "pathways." These pathways are a series of actions that take place among cells and molecules in the body.
One such pathway is called "ROCK2." In people with chronic GVHD, this ROCK2 pathway is too active.
An overactive ROCK2 pathway leads to:
-
A decrease in cells and molecules that help keep the immune system in check
-
An increase in cells and molecules that cause inflammation and fibrosis
