E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of vedolizumab in a combination with background aGvHD prophylaxis regimen compared to placebo and background aGvHD prophylaxis regimen on intestinal aGvHD-free survival by Day +180 in subjects who receive allo-HSCT as treatment for a hematologic malignancy or myeloproliferative disorder. |

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. The subject or, when applicable, the subject’s legally acceptable representative voluntarily signs and dates a written, informed consent form (ICF) and any required privacy authorization before performance of any study-related procedures not part of standard medical care, with the understanding that consent may be withdrawn by the subject at any time without prejudice to future medical care.
2. Male or female subjects ≥18 years of age.
3. Subjects must undergo 8 of 8 or 7 of 8 HLA-matched (antigen at HLA A, -B, and -C, and allelic at HLA-DRB1) unrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from either peripheral blood or bone marrow stem cells for a hematologic malignancy or myeloproliferative disorder.
4. Subjects for whom a myeloablative conditioning or RIC is planned.
5. Allo-HSCT eligible (meeting institutional criteria)-subjects planned medical care should include aGvHD prophylaxis with a combination of CNI (CYS or TAC) and MTX or CNI and MMF. With the exception of ATG (ATG-F or thymoglobulin), all other therapies, approved or investigational, for GvHD prophylaxis are excluded.
6. Status of the primary disease as follows:
a. Subjects with acute leukemia or chronic myelogenous leukemia: no circulating blasts and <5% blasts in the bone marrow and minimal residual disease-negative, as per institutional practice.
b. Subjects with myelodysplasia: no circulating blasts and <10% blasts in the bone marrow.
c. Subjects with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma with chemosensitive disease at the time of transplantation (partial or complete response to last salvage therapy).
d. Subjects with other nonHodgkin or Hodgkin lymphoma with a response to last salvage therapy or chemo-sensitive disease per institutional standards at the time of transplantation.
e. For subjects with myelofibrosis and other myeloproliferative disorders: <5% blasts in the blood and bone marrow.
7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of ≤2.
8. Sufficient cognitive ability to reliably complete the PML checklist at baseline.
9. Female subjects who are:
• Postmenopausal for at least 1 year before signing of the informed consent, OR
• Surgically sterile, OR
• If they are of childbearing potential, agree to practice 1 highly effective method of contraception and 1 additional effective (barrier) method at the same time, from the time of signing the informed consent through 18 weeks after the last dose of study drug, OR
• Agree to practice true abstinence, when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. (Periodic abstinence [eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, postovulation methods], withdrawal, spermicides only, and lactational amenorrhea are not acceptable methods of contraception. Female and male condoms should not be used together.)
Male subjects, even if surgically sterilized (ie, status postvasectomy), who:
• Agree to practice effective barrier contraception during the entire study treatment period and through 18 weeks after the last dose of study drug, OR
• Agree to practice true abstinence, when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. (Periodic abstinence [eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, postovulation methods], withdrawal, spermicides only, and lactational amenorrhea are not acceptable methods of contraception. Female and male condoms should not be used together.)
10. Suitable venous access for the study-required blood sampling, including PK sampling.

8. Prior known exposure of the transplant recipient to vedolizumab.
9. Any serious medical or psychiatric condition that could, in the investigator or medical monitor’s opinion, potentially interfere with the completion of treatment according to this protocol.
10. Any unstable or uncontrolled cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, GI, genitourinary, coagulation, immunological, endocrine/metabolic, neurologic or other medical disorder not related to the subject’s primary disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, would confound the study results or compromise subject safety.
11. Clinically active systemic infection during screening.
12. Clinically active cytomegalovirus (CMV) colitis during screening.
13. Clinically active Clostridium difficile infection or other intestinal pathogen during screening.
14.

15. Chronic hepatitis B (hepatitis B surface antigen positive, or positive for both hepatitis B surface antibody and hepatitis B core antibody but negative for hepatitis B surface antigen) or hepatitis C infection (evident by viral replication by polymerase chain reaction).
16. History of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive test.
17. Treatment with anti-T-cells antibody such as alemtuzumab (anti-CD52), excluding ATG (ATG-F or thymoglobulin), within 4 months before the first dose of study drug on Day -1.

Subjects with nonmelanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of any type are not excluded if they have undergone complete resection.
