E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Part 1 and Part 1 expansion: to identify an appropriate dose of itacitinib in combination with corticosteroids as initial treatment for moderate or severe cGVHD.
Part 2: To compare the efficacy of itacitinib versus placebo in combination with corticosteroids as initial treatment for moderate or severe cGVHD. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
* Part 1: - To evaluate the PK of itacitinib when administered in combination with corticosteroids in the study population. - To estimate efficacy outcomes.
*Part 1 Expansion: - To evaluate preliminary activity across treatment cohorts with respect to response rate at Month 3 and Month 6 (Key secondary objective) - To evaluate the PK of itacitinib when administered in combination with corticosteroids in the study population. - To estimate efficacy outcomes for each dose cohort.
*Part 2: - To compare changes in health-related quality of life. - To compare additional efficacy outcomes between treatment groups. - To evaluate the PK of itacitinib in combination with corticosteroids in 1L cGVHD. - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of study treatment across the 2 treatment cohorts. |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Male or female, aged 18 years or older inclusive at the time of signing the ICF.
2. Active, clinically diagnosed, moderate or severe cGVHD per NIH Consensus Criteria : a. Moderate cGVHD: At least 1 organ (except lung) with a score of 2, 3 or more organs involved with a score of 1 in each organ, or lung score of 1. b. Severe cGVHD: At least 1 organ with a score of 3, or lung score of 2 or 3 Note: Candidates who transition from active aGVHD to cGVHD without tapering off of corticosteroids (< 0.25 mg/kg per day methylprednisolone or equivalent) ± CNI are also eligible.
3. Underwent allo-HCT from any donor HLA type (related or unrelated donor with any degree of HLA matching) using any graft source (bone marrow, peripheral blood stem cells, or cord blood). Recipients of myeloablative, nonmyeloablative, or reduced intensity conditioning are eligible.
4. KPS score ≥ 60%.
5. Evidence of myeloid and platelet engraftment, that is, ANC ≥ 1.0 × 10E9/L and platelet count ≥ 50 × 10E9/L. Note: Use of growth factor supplementation and transfusion support is allowed during the study; however, transfusion to reach a minimum platelet count for inclusion is not allowed within the 7 days before the screening laboratory assessment. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Has received more than 1 prior allo-HCT. Prior autologous HCT is allowed.
2. Has received more than 3 days/72 hours of systemic corticosteroid treatment for cGVHD.
3. Has received any other systemic treatment for cGVHD, including ECP. CNIs initiated before randomization may be continued at the same or lower dose; topical/inhaled steroids are acceptable.
4. Prior treatment with a JAK inhibitor within 8 weeks before randomization. Participants who received a JAK inhibitor for aGVHD are eligible only if they achieved CR or PR.
