Because every moment matters

Recovery from acute GvHD looks different for everyone. Some signs of progress may be easy to see. Others are slower, happening day by day.But every moment—and every sign of recovery— matters.

Results from the RYONCIL clinical study

RYONCIL may provide the help you’ve been hoping for

In a study, 70% of children with steroid-refractory acute GvHD treated with RYONCIL showed improvement within 4 weeks.* Even very sick children had good results. In fact, many children with the worst cases showed signs of recovery.*

In that same study, about 3 out of 10 children saw all signs of steroid-refractory acute GvHD fully go away. About 4 out of 10 showed improvement with signs of recovery.

70% of children improved within 4 weeks*

RYONCIL has helped children of many ages and stages of steroid-refractory acute GvHD

Even some of the sickest children got better. This includes children with symptoms of the gastrointestinal, or GI, tract (stomach and intestines), liver and/or skin.

These results offer hope that progress is possible for children and families facing steroid-refractory acute GvHD.

Specifically studied in children

RYONCIL has been proven safe and effective for children 2 months of age and older.

RYONCIL was studied with safety in mind. Today, it is the first and only FDA-approved steroid-refractory acute GvHD treatment for children 2 months of age and older. It is also the only approved option for children under 12 years of age.

Most common side effects

As with many IV treatments, side effects happen. The most common side effects of RYONCIL were mild to moderate in nature, including viral or bacterial infectious disorders, infections, fever, bleeding, swelling, stomach pain, and high blood pressure.

Your child’s care team will watch for allergic reactions, including fever, trouble breathing, and blood pressure changes. Certain medicines are given before each infusion to help prevent allergic reactions.

RYONCIL is administered by healthcare professionals in a medical setting. Your child's care team can help monitor and manage side effects.

Indication and Important Safety Information for RYONCIL® (remestemcel-L-rknd)
What is Ryoncil?

RYONCIL is a prescription medicine used to treat a condition called steroid-refractory acute graft versus host disease (SR-aGvHD) in children 2 months and older.

Who should not receive Ryoncil?

Do not receive Ryoncil if you are allergic to DMSO or porcine and bovine proteins (e.g., pigs or cows).

Ryoncil is not recommended if you are pregnant. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of breastfeeding during Ryoncil treatment.

What are the possible serious side effects?
  • Allergic reactions. Serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, can happen during or after infusion. Tell your doctor or nurse right away if you experience signs of an allergic reaction, including fever, rash, hives, low blood sugar, or breathing problems.
  • Infections. Ryoncil is made from human cells using materials from humans and porcine and bovine sources (e.g., pigs, cows). Although all donors and materials are carefully screened and tested, these measures cannot completely eliminate potential risk of transmission of infectious disease.
  • Unusual tissue growth. There is a theoretical risk that Ryoncil could cause growth of tissue in other places, such as bone, cartilage, or fat.
What are the most common side effects?

The most common side effects include infections, fever, bleeding, swelling, stomach pain, high blood pressure, vomiting, irregular heartbeat, diarrhea, rash, joint pain, low blood pressure, cough, and trouble breathing.

What should I tell my doctor before receiving Ryoncil?

Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, allergies, and if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1–800-FDA-1088.
