Brief Summary:
This study is designed as a combined Phase II/III, randomized, open label, multicenter, prospective comparative study of sirolimus plus prednisone versus sirolimus/calcineurin-inhibitor plus prednisone for the treatment of chronic GVHD. Patients will be stratified by transplant center and will be randomized to an experimental arm of one of the two pre-specified experimental arms (sirolimus + prednisone or the comparator arm of sirolimus + calcineurin inhibitor + prednisone) in a 1:1 ratio.
| Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Chronic GVHD | Drug: Sirolimus + calcineurin inhibitor + prednisone Drug: Sirolimus + prednisone | Phase 2 Phase 3 |
Background: Chronic GVHD is a medical condition that can become very serious. Chronic GVHD is a common development after allogeneic transplant that occurs when the donor cells attack and damage tissues. The primary purpose of this study is to compare treatment regimens that contain sirolimus without a calcineurin inhibitor to a comparator regimen of sirolimus with a calcineurin inhibitor and evaluate how well chronic GVHD responds to treatment. The combinations of medications in this study are:
- Sirolimus + calcineurin inhibitor + prednisone
- Sirolimus + prednisone
The goal is to select a treatment regimen for further comparison in the Phase III trial.
Design Narrative: The intent is to enroll subjects at the start of initial therapy for chronic GVHD, or before their chronic GVHD is refractory to glucocorticoid therapy, or is chronically dependent upon glucocorticoid therapy and multiple secondary systemic immunosuppressive agents. Patients will be stratified by transplant center and will be randomized to one of two arms.

Active Comparator: calcineurin inhibitor
Sirolimus + calcineurin inhibitor + prednisone
|
Drug: Sirolimus + calcineurin inhibitor + prednisone
The target serum level for sirolimus is 3-12 ng/mL. The target serum level for tacrolimus is 5-10 ng/mL. The target serum level for cyclosporine is 120-200 ng/mL. Prednisone is administered initially as a single early morning dose of 1 mg/kg/day (or equivalent). If prednisone at a dose of 1 mg/kg/day (or equivalent) is contraindicated, patients may begin prednisone between 0.5-1 mg/kg/day. Other Names:

Primary Outcome Measures :
- Proportion of Participants With Treatment Success [ Time Frame: 6 months and 24 months post-randomization ]Treatment success was evaluated at 6 months in Phase II and is defined as a complete or partial response without secondary systemic immunosuppressive therapy and no recurrent malignancy or death. In Phase III, treatment success was evaluated at 24 months and is defined as a complete response without secondary systemic immunosuppressive therapy and no recurrent malignancy or death.
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Percentage of Participants With Overall Survival [ Time Frame: 6 months and 24 months post-randomization ]Overall survival is defined as survival of death from any cause.
- Percentage of Participants With Progression-free Survival [ Time Frame: 6 months and 24 months post-randomization ]Progression-free Survival is defined as survival without malignancy relapse. Relapse and death are considered failures for this endpoint.
- Percentage of Participants With Failure-free Survival [ Time Frame: 6 months and 24 months post-randomization ]Failure-free Survival is defined as survival without malignancy progression or initiation of secondary therapy for chronic GVHD. Progression, initiation of secondary therapy for chronic GVHD, and death are considered failures for this endpoint.
- Percentage of Participants With Relapse [ Time Frame: 6 months and 24 months post-randomization ]Relapse is defined as recurrence of the primary malignancy. Death is considered a competing risk for this endpoint.
- Percentage of Participants With Secondary Immunosuppressive Therapy Initiated [ Time Frame: 6 months and 24 months post-randomization ]The percentage of participants initiating secondary immunosuppressive therapy for chronic GVHD is described. Death is considered a competing risk for this endpoint.
- Percentage of Participants With Discontinuation of Systemic Immunosuppressive Therapy at Two Years [ Time Frame: 2 years post-randomization ]The percentage of participants discontinuing all systemic immunosuppressive therapy by two years post-randomization is described. Death is considered a competing risk for this endpoint.
- Prednisone Dose [ Time Frame: Baseline, 6 months, and 1 year post-randomization ]Daily dose of prednisone is described by treatment arm at baseline, 6 months, and 1 year post-randomization.
- Change in Prednisone Dose From Baseline [ Time Frame: 6 months and 1 year post-randomization ]Change in the daily dose of prednisone from baseline, the time of randomization, is described by treatment arm at 6 months and 1 year post-randomization.
- Serum Creatinine Level [ Time Frame: Baseline, 6 months, and 1 year post-randomization ]Creatinine level is described by treatment arm at baseline, 6 months, and 1 year post-randomization.
- Change in Serum Creatinine Level From Baseline [ Time Frame: 6 months and 1 year post-randomization ]Change in creatinine level from baseline, the time of randomization, is described by treatment arm at 6 months and 1 year post-randomization.
- Patient-reported Chronic GVHD Severity [ Time Frame: Baseline, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years post-randomization ]Each patient's perception of the severity of the chronic GVHD was collected at baseline and at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years post-randomization. Severity is categorized as none, mild, moderate, and severe.
- Provider-reported Chronic GVHD Severity [ Time Frame: Baseline, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years post-randomization ]Each patient's care provider's perception of the severity of the chronic GVHD was collected at baseline and at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years post-randomization. Severity is categorized as none, mild, moderate, and severe.
- NIH Consensus Criteria Chronic GVHD Severity [ Time Frame: Baseline, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years post-randomization ]Chronic GVHD severity was determined at baseline and at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years post-randomization per the 2005 NIH Consensus Criteria (Filipovich et al. 2005). Severity is categorized as none, mild, moderate, and severe.
- SF-36 Physical Component Summary [ Time Frame: Baseline, 2 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years post-randomization ]The Medical Outcome Study SF-36 Physical Component Summary (PCS) is a subscale of the SF-36 intended to measure physical well-being. It is scored on a scale of 0-100, with higher scores indicating higher levels of well-being.
- SF-36 Mental Component Summary [ Time Frame: Baseline, 2 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years post-randomization ]The Medical Outcome Study SF-36 Mental Component Summary (MCS) is a subscale of the SF-36 intended to measure mental well-being. It is scored on a scale of 0-100, with higher scores indicating higher levels of well-being.
- FACT-BMT Score [ Time Frame: Baseline, 2 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years post-randomization ]The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Bone Marrow Transplant scale (FACT-BMT) is a quality of life instrument that assesses the effects of bone marrow transplantation (BMT) on a patient's physical, social/family, emotional, and functional well-being while taking into consideration BMT-specific concerns. The assessment has 37 questions, each scored on a Likert scale from 0-4. The overall score is computed by adding scores of the questions and falls in the range 0-148, with higher scores indicating higher levels of overall well-being.
