Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Compare T-Guard vs Ruxolitinib for Treatment of Steroid-Refractory Acute Graft-vs-Host Disease (BMT CTN 2002) (NCT NCT04934670)

NCT ID: NCT04934670

Last Updated: 2024-08-27

Results Overview

The primary objective of this trial is to assess the rate of CR on Day 28 post-randomization in Grades III and IV SR-aGVHD patients treated with T-Guard treatment in comparison to ruxolitinib. Participants were classified as Day 28 CR if these three conditions were satisfied: 1\. Stage 0 aGVHD (no remaining symptoms) in the three target organs skin, bowel and liver, 2 . The participant is still alive at Day 28, 3 . No additional systemic treatment for aGVHD has been administered through Day 28.

Measure
T-Guard
Participants will be administered four doses of T-Guard intravenously for a 4-hour period every other day T-Guard: T-Guard will be administered intravenously inpatient over 4 hours every 2 calendar days on Days 0, 2, 4, and 6, at a dose of 4mg/m2 Body Surface Area (BSA).
Ruxolitinib
Participants will take ruxolitinib twice daily for continuous daily dosing Ruxolitinib: Ruxolitinib will be administered orally twice a day starting on Day 0 through Day 56, at a dose of 10mg. Ruxolitinib taper can be initiated starting on Day 56 for participants responding to treatment, tapering will be done according to institutional practices.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 180

Population: Participants randomized to the treatment arms were analyzed. For both treatment arms, the number of participants who died are reported.

OS is defined as survival of death from any cause. The time from randomization until death from any cause will be described for each arm.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 28

DoCR will be evaluated only in the set of participants who are in CR at Day 28 post-randomization. The primary definition of DoCR is the time from Day 28 until an aGVHD target organ worsens by at least 1 stage and requires a significant escalation in treatment, or death.
