The intestine is the most immunologically complex solid organ allograft with the greatest risk of both rejection and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). High levels of immunosuppression are required, further increasing morbidity. Due to low volume of transplants and few centers with experience, there is paucity of evidence-based, standardized, and effective therapeutic regimens. We herein review the most recent data about immunosuppression, focusing on novel and emerging therapies. Recent data are moving the field towards increasing use of basilixumab and consideration of alemtuzumab for induction and inclusion of mTOR inhibitors and antimetabolites for maintenance. For rejection, we highlight novel roles for TNFα inhibition, α4β7 integrin inhibition, microbiome modulation, desensitization protocols, and tolerance induction strategies. We also highlight emerging novel therapies for GVHD, especially the promising role of Janus kinase inhibition. New insights into immune pathways associated with rejection and GVHD in intestinal allografts have led to an evolution of therapies from broad-based immunosuppression to more targeted strategies that hold promise for reducing morbidity from infection, rejection, and GVHD. These should be the focus of further study to facilitate their widespread use.
