Cyclosporine (Restasis)
I was curious to see if they did a study comparing Restasis to tacrolimus to see how they compared. I did a brief check but only found a study or two comparing them for the treatment of dry eyes and not ocular GVHD. It appears that when people cannot use Restasis anymore due to side effects, tacrolimus works for them and maybe even better.
It would be good to know if they are using Restates for GVHD now and if they compared Restasis to tacrolimus specifically for GVHD.
