within 6 months from the date of randomisation up to the date of the
event and before the diagnosis of chronic graft versus host disease
(cGvHD)
- Compare the efficacy of MC0518 and BAT in further secondary longterm
efficacy endpoints and response to treatment
- Investigate the safety of MC0518
- Compare health related quality of life (HRQoL) when treated with
MC0518 compared with BAT

E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
A pilot sub-trial to assess anti-human leukocyte antigen antibodies in adult subjects will be conducted at German trial sites. This pilot sub-trial for Germany is described in an appendix to the protocol.

effective contraceptive measure starting at the Screening Visit and
continuing throughout the entire trial period. The definition of women of
childbearing potential (WOCBP) and a complete list of highly effective
contraceptive measures .are included in an appendix to the protocol.
-Subject, if a fertile male, agrees to sexual abstinence or to use a
condom during sexual activity with their female partner of childbearing
potential or pregnant partner. Additionally, if their partner is a WOCBP,
then their partner has to use an additional highly effective contraceptive
method during sexual activity starting at the Screening Visit and

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Overall response (OR) as defined by complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) at Visit Day 28 relative to aGvHD status at baseline (Visit Day 1 before the first treatment). CR is defined as resolution of aGvHD in all involved organs. PR is defined as improvement in at least 1 stage in 1 or more organs involved with aGvHD symptoms without progression in others.
No response (NR) is defined as the absence of CR or PR. Death before Visit Day 28 will be considered as NR. The addition or change to any
further systemic therapy after MC0518 / first used BAT before Visit Day 28 will be considered as NR.
OS until Visit Month 24, defined as the time from the date of randomisation to the date of death due to any cause. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
- FFTF until 6 months, defined as the time from the date of randomisation to the date of the event. An event is defined as death, relapse or progression of the underlying disease, or addition or change to any further systemic immunosuppressive aGvHD therapy. The diagnosis of cGvHD is considered to be a competing event.
- aGvHD response at Visit Day 28 assessed by CR, PR, and NR and at Visit Day 60, Visit Day 100, and Visit Day 180 assessed by OR, CR, PR, and NR relative to baseline.

- Time to response, defined as the time from the date of the first treatment administration to the date of the first response (CR or PR)
- Duration of the response until Visit Month 24, defined as the time from the date of the first OR (CR or PR) to the date of aGvHD assessed as NR compared with the baseline assessment, or the date of addition or change to any further systemic aGvHD therapy, in responders.
- Best OR until Visit Day 28 defined as the achievement of an OR at any time point up to and including Visit Day 28
- Cumulative dose of steroids given for SR-aGvHD from baseline until Visit Day 60 and until Visit Month 24
- Incidence of and time to cGvHD from Visit Day 60 until Visit Month 24
- Incidence of graft failure (GF) from baseline until Visit Month 24
- Incidence of and time to relapse or progression in subjects with underlying malignant disease from randomisation until Visit Month 24
- Event free survival until Visit Month 24, defined as the time from the date of randomisation to the date of the event. An event is defined as GF, relapse or progression of the underlying disease, or death due to any cause.
- Non-relapse mortality (NRM) until Visit Month 24, defined as the time from the date of randomisation to the date of the event. An event is defined as death without previous relapse or progression of the underlying disease. Relapse or progression is considered as a competing event.
- The incidence and severity of all adverse events (AEs) until Visit Day 60 or until 30 days after last administration of trial treatment, whichever is later. Thereafter, the incidence of adverse reactions (ARs) will be documented until Visit Month 24.
