Belumosudil With Ruxolitnib as Third Line Therapy for Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease (cGvHD)

Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD) is a serious condition that can happen after a stem cell or bone marrow transplant. The donor's immune cells attack the patient's body, causing inflammation, pain, and damage to organs like the skin, liver, or lungs. For patients with moderate to severe cGvHD who don't improve with or can't tolerate standard front line therapy with steroids, there's a significant unmet need. Steroid-refractory cGvHD is hard to treat, with limited effective options, often leading to ongoing symptoms and reduced quality of life. This Phase II study tests a new treatment combining two oral drugs, ruxolitinib and belumosudil, for these patients. Both drugs have helped cGvHD individually, but this trial explores if they work better together. Patients will begin on ruxolitinib (10 mg twice daily) and will continue for up to 48 weeks. Upon ruxolitinib treatment failure, patients will add belumosudil (200 mg once or twice daily, depending on other medications) in addition to ruxolitinib for 48 weeks (12 cycles) unless their condition worsens or side effects become intolerable. Follow-up visits occur 28 days and 6 months after treatment ends to check health status. The study is non-randomized (all get the same treatment) and open-label (patients and doctors know the drugs used). It aims to see if this combination better controls cGvHD in patients where steroids failed. This could offer hope for better symptom management and improved quality of life for those with limited treatment options.

Safety and Efficacy of Iguratimod in the Treatment of Chronic GVHD

This is a randomized, single-center phase 1/2 clinical trial without blinding. Iguratimod, as a rheumatoid arthritis medication, is used to treat autoimmune diseases such as Sjögren's syndrome. It has acceptable side effects, good clinical availability, and is cost-effective. The investigators plan to recruit participants for a clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Iguratimod in the treatment of chronic GVHD.

Effects of Axatilimab on Skin in Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease

Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is a condition that can develop after a stem cell transplant. It occurs when donor immune cells attack the body's tissues. In many people, cGVHD affects the skin, causing inflammation, thickening, and scarring that can limit movement and reduce quality of life. Axatilimab is a medicine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat adults with cGVHD after at least two previous treatments have not worked well enough. Although axatilimab can improve cGVHD, researchers do not fully understand how it changes immune cells in the skin. The purpose of this study is to learn how axatilimab affects immune cells in the skin and blood of people with cGVHD. Researchers will study skin and blood samples collected before and after participants start axatilimab. The goal is to better understand how the medicine reduces inflammation and scarring and to identify biological changes that occur during treatment. This is an observational research study. The study does not decide whether participants receive axatilimab, when treatment starts, or what dose they receive. All treatment decisions are made by the participant's treating physician as part of routine medical care. About 15 adults with cGVHD involving the skin will participate. Ten participants who are starting axatilimab as part of their usual care will have three study visits: before treatment begins, about 2 weeks after starting treatment, and about 12 weeks after starting treatment. At each visit, participants will provide a small skin biopsy and a blood sample. Five participants with cGVHD who are not receiving axatilimab will serve as a comparison group and will complete one study visit with one skin biopsy and one blood sample. Researchers will also review participants' medical records and collect information about their skin disease over time. Information from this study may help researchers better understand how axatilimab works in people with cGVHD. The findings may also help improve future research and guide the development of treatments for cGVHD and other diseases that cause tissue scarring.

Belumosudil Versus Ruxolitinib for Steroid-Refractory or Breakthrough Hepatic cGVHD

This prospective, randomized, open-label, multicenter trial aims to compare second-line treatment strategies for hepatic cGVHD after allo-HSCT. Ruxolitinib and belumosudil are both effective for cGVHD, but no head-to-head comparison specifically in hepatic cGVHD has been reported. Two cohorts are enrolled: Cohort 1 comprises patients with steroid-refractory hepatic cGVHD without prior ruxolitinib or belumosudil exposure, randomized to receive either agent. Cohort 2 includes patients who develop new-onset hepatic cGVHD after ≥4 weeks of therapy with ruxolitinib or belumosudil for other-organ cGVHD (stable for ≥2 weeks), or patients with non-response/progression on either agent for hepatic cGVHD; these patients will be switched to the opposite drug. Key questions include: • In steroid-refractory hepatic cGVHD, does 24-week hepatic overall response rate differ between belumosudil and ruxolitinib? • What is the hepatic response rate after drug switching in Cohort 2? • How do the two agents compare in safety and tolerability for hepatic cGVHD? • What are their impacts on corticosteroid tapering, failure-free survival, and long-term outcomes? Participants will: • Receive assigned treatment per cohort and randomization • Undergo regular efficacy/safety monitoring, including hepatic cGVHD scoring, liver function tests, and adverse event recording • Provide peripheral blood samples at baseline and multiple on-treatment time points for exploratory biomarker analysis • Complete 24-week primary efficacy assessment with follow-up until progression or discontinuation Primary endpoint is 24-week hepatic overall response rate (CR+PR, per 2014 NIH cGVHD criteria). Secondary endpoints include duration of response, failure-free survival, corticosteroid tapering rate, safety (AE/SAE incidence), liver function improvement, and patient-reported outcomes. This head-to-head comparison will provide high-level evidence for selecting second-line and beyond therapies for hepatic cGVHD.
