Trial Outcomes & Findings for Panobinostat (LBH589): Acute Graft Versus Host Disease (aGVHD) Prevention (NCT NCT02588339)

NCT ID: NCT02588339

Last Updated: 2021-07-21

Results Overview

Cumulative incidence of acute GVHD grades II-IV by day 100. Investigators will consider ≥43% incidence of grade II-IV aGVHD not acceptable. Investigators will use 23% incidence rate of GVHD as target. GVHD severity stage and grading and distribution will be measured weekly from day of transplant to day 90 +/- 14 using standard scoring system. Stage of GVHD will be given for each site of involvement (e.g. skin, liver, and gut), as well as a composite score for overall acute GVHD grade. Pathologic confirmation of aGVHD will be dictated by usual clinical practice, and not mandated by this protocol.

Measure
Panobinostat (PANO) Therapy
Participants treated with standard of care chemotherapy agents prior to their allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant. For Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) prevention, participants received PANO, Sirolimus and Tacrolimus. GVHD graded using NIH criteria, scores of 0-3 per area of involvement (e.g; skin, liver and gut) 0 being no symptoms and 3 being symptomatic, over 50% of waking hours in bed, ECOG 3-4.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 100 days post transplant

GVHD with onset after 100 days post-HCT with presence of at least one diagnostic manifestation of chronic c-GVHD or distinct manifestation confirmed by biopsy or other relevant tests (e.g., PFT). Classified as: 1- Classic chronic GVHD - meets criteria for chronic GVHD and has no features consistent with aGVHD or 2-Overlap syndrome - features of acute and chronic GVHD exist together. C-GVHD will be measured prospectively in all participants on days 90+/-14 , 120 +/- 14, 150 +/- 14, 180+/- 14, 270+/- 30, and 365 +/- 30 as per standardized scoring system.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 100 days post transplant

Population: Participants with stable engraftment were analyzed

Stable engraftment for white blood count (WBC) is defined as a sustained absolute neutrophil count \> 500 over 3 days without cytokine support. Stable platelet engraftments is defined as count of \> 20,000 over 7 days without transfusion support. Time to engraftment is defined as time from day 0 to day of sustained engraftment per above criteria for both platelets and WBC.
