...Ron receiving an ECP light treatment in his blood. As a part of this study, he also receives 2 Embrel injections each week. ECP is once a week for the first 6 weeks of treatment. It continues at longer intervals for a year. He had his 3rd ECP Wednesday. A centrifuge separates white blood cells, red blood cells, and plasma. The white blood cells are treated with a drug, UVADEX; UV light activates the drug, and then the blood is returned to Ron. This therapy treats GVHD symptoms.
