      <hc_freetext>Acute steroid-resistant graft-versus-host disease.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention group: Patients diagnosed with grade II to IV acute Graft Versus Host Disease (aGVHD), whose response to treatment with corticosteroids equal or more than 2 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) is poor and symptoms progress in three days or stable disease for five days, after informed written consent will be included in the study. The diagnosis of Steroid resistant acute graft versus host disease (SR-aGVHD) is based on the diagnosis, grading and staging of aGVHD according to clinical observations and criteria suggested by the International Blood and Bone Marrow Transplant Research Center. Exosome derived from placenta mesenchymal stem cells from donors after obtaining a written consent from the donor, several tests are performed for the absence of contamination. Then the mesenchymal cells are separated under sterile conditions (Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) grade) and after the characteristic finding in sterile vials will be transferred to the hospital and will be used as an intravenous injection for patients. In each exosome injection, 1 unit of human placenta -derived mesenchymal stem cell exosome (HP-MSC-EXO) is approximately equivalent to the number of exosome particles, which is prepared from 101 x 108 cells, which is administered in the same amount of HP-MSC-EXO in the recipient group weighting 50 to 80 kilogram. The dose of exosome based on studies is 50 microgram per milliliter (μg/mL) and is equivalent to 250-300 milligram of exosome in each vial. Agonists of H1 and H2 receptors are prescribed to prevent allergic reactions before injection and patients are constantly monitored for 2 hours. Exosome injection is done in the form of three doses on the first day after an interval of 8 hours (TDS) and maintenance injection is done daily for 5 days, which dose will be done based on a pilot study conducted in Taleghani Hospital. In this group, the prescription of other treatment protocols, especially Infliximab, is not allowed under any circumstances, and if prescribed, the patient will be excluded from the study. Until the complete failure of the treatment, the prescription of other treatment protocols, especially Infliximab, is prohibited.***The therapeutic intervention method and scientific history and the theoretical basis of the method and its research history as well as the possibility of side effects are accurately and transparently informed to the patient or his companions (often the companions of the patient due to the bad condition of the patients) and the relevant therapeutic intervention it is done with their consent. The information of the patients is collected every day by the researcher who collects the information by filling out a special form. The method of collecting information is based on talking to the patient in his clinic and examining the file to check the symptom registration forms and the results of clinical tests.***Patients assessment in terms of recurrence of aGVHD and infection, complications of cell therapy (safety), recurrence of the disease at intervals of 7+, 21+ and 28+ days  after the first exosome injection. Patients are evaluated based on Glusburg criteria (based on GvHD grade) at intervals of +14, +21 and +28 days after the first injection. All patients who receive exosome should wash the route of exosome injection with distilled water immediately before and after injection. Vital signs of patients are constantly checked; Especially, the symptoms one hour after drug injection and as an investigation of the possible effects of the drug are recorded in the results. Any unwanted complication or unusual event is recorded so that it can be recorded in the results if a possible complication occurs. If the condition of the recipient of exosome worsens, the patient will be excluded from the study and the patient will be a candidate for drug or cell therapy..</i_freetext>
