About this trial

The purpose of this study is to find out whether adding belumosudil to a usual approach for reducing the risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) may be an effective GVHD prevention approach for people with blood cancer who have a stem cell transplant. The investigators will also look at the safety of the study approach.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients ≥ 18 years-old at time of consent.

Diagnosis: hematologic malignancy in morphologic remission who will be treated with RI or NMA conditioning and GVHD prophylaxis CNI-based (CNI without PTCY) plus abatacept or PTCY-based (CNI with PTCY).

Recipients of 7-8/8 related or unrelated HLA-matched or related haploidentical donor.

Peripheral blood stem cell graft

Disqualifiers

Recipient of CD34+ selected or engineered stem cell graft.

Treatment with in vivo T cell depletion (e.g. anti-thymocyte globulin).

Evidence of current uncontrolled cardiovascular conditions, uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmias, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina, or myocardial infarction within the past 6 months.

Pulmonary dysfunction with DLCO <50% corrected for hemoglobin

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change in GVHD/relapse-free survival (GRFS) at 1-year post-Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT)

The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of belumosudil in the improvement of GRFS at 1-year post-HCT for patients receiving PTCY GVHD prophylaxis and separately for participants receiving CNI-based (CNI without PTCY) plus abatacept GVHD prophylaxis.

Time frame
