E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The main objective of the trial is to compare the efficacy of ruxolitinib with best available therapy in patients with corticosteroid refractory acute Graft vs. Host Disease by assessing the overall response rate (either complete or partial response without requiring additional systemic therapies) based on organ stage scoring. |
El objetivo principal del ensayo es comparar la eficacia de ruxolitinib frente a la Mejor Terapia Disponible en pacientes con Enfermedad de injerto contra huésped aguda y refractaria a esteroides evaluando la Tasa de Respuesta Global (respuesta completa o respuesta parcial sin necesidad de terapias sistémicas adicionales) basado en el estadio del órgano |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The key secondary objectif of the trial is to measure the durable response rate of patients who are corticosteroid refractory acute graft vs. host disease and to compare those patients treated with ruxolitinib vs. best available therapy. The other secondary objectives relate to further measurements comparing patients treated with ruxolitinib vs. best available therapy: Their survival over a 2 year time period. Whether steroids are successfully tapered to lower doses. Whether they develop chronic graft vs. host disease, and other standard transplant outcomes including control of their underlying hematologic disease for which the transplant was performed. The safety of ruxolitinib and best available therapy. Measurements of each patient’s reported quality of life will be compared in patients treated with ruxolitinib vs. best available therapy for their corticosteroid refractory acute graft vs. host disease. |
Medir la tasa de respuesta duradera de los pacientes con enfermedad de injerto contra huésped aguda y refractaria a corticosteroides y comparar aquellos pacientes tratados con ruxolitinib frente a la mejor terapia disponible. Los otros objetivos secundarios se refieren a otras mediciones que comparan a los pacientes tratados con ruxolitinib frente a la mejor terapia disponible: Supervivencia durante un período de tiempo de 2 años. Si los esteroides se reducen con éxito a dosis más bajas. Si desarrollan enfermedad crónica de injerto contra huésped, y otros resultados estándar de trasplante, incluyendo el control de la enfermedad hematológica subyacente para la que se realizó el trasplante. La seguridad de ruxolitinib y la mejor terapia disponible. Las mediciones de la calidad de vida de cada paciente se compararán en pacientes tratados con ruxolitinib frente a la mejor terapia disponible para su enfermedad de injerto contra huésped aguda y refractaria a corticosteroides. |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
- Has received more than one systemic treatment for aGvHD, other than corticosteroids +/- CNI (prophylaxis or treatment). - Clinical presentation resembling de novo chronic GvHD or GvHD overlap syndrome with both acute and chronic GvHD features (as defined by Jagasia, et al. 2015) - Presence of an active uncontrolled infection including significant bacterial, fungal, viral or parasitic infection requiring treatment. Infections are considered controlled if appropriate therapy has been instituted and, at the time of screening, no signs of progression are present. Progression of infection is defined as hemodynamic instability attributable to sepsis, new symptoms, worsening physical signs or radiographic findings attributable to infection. Persisting fever without other signs or symptoms will not be interpreted as progressing infection. - Evidence of active viral infection (confirmed by peripheral blood viral load) including CMV, EBV, HHV-6, HBV, or HCV. Patients with pre-transplant positive serology results indicative of high risk for viral reactivation must have negative viral load results within 28 days prior to randomization. Patients whose immune status is unknown or uncertain (e.g. serologies not obtained prior to transplant) must have viral load results confirming no evidence of active viral infection within 28 days prior to randomization. - Presence of relapsed primary malignancy, or who have been treated for relapse after the alloHSCT was performed, or who may require rapid immune suppression withdrawal as pre-emergent treatment of early malignancy relapse.
