About this trial
This study will be conducted to compare the efficacy of axatilimab versus placebo in combination with corticosteroids as initial treatment for moderate or severe chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD).
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
≥ 12 years of age at the time of informed consent.
New-onset moderate or severe cGVHD, as defined by the 2014 NIH Consensus Development Project Criteria for Clinical Trials in cGVHD, requiring systemic therapy.
History of 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.
Adequate hematologic function with ANC ≥ 0.5 × 109/L independent of growth factors for at least 7 days prior to study entry.
Disqualifiers
Received more than 1 prior allo-HCT. Prior autologous HCT is allowed.
Has overlap cGVHD, defined as simultaneous presence of features or characteristics of aGVHD in a patient with cGVHD.
Received more than 7 days of systemic corticosteroid treatment for cGVHD or unable to begin a prednisone dose ≥ 1.0 mg/kg per day (or methylprednisolone equivalent) for cGVHD.
Received previous systemic treatment for cGVHD, including extracorporeal photopheresis.
