Brief Summary:
The study is an open-label, single-arm, Phase I/II multi-center study to investigate the PK, activity and safety of ruxolitinib added to the patient's immunosuppressive regimen in infants, children, and adolescents ages ≥28 days to <18 years old with either grade II-IV aGvHD or grade II-IV SR-aGvHD. This trial will utilize four age groups: Group 1 includes patients ≥12y to <18y, Group 2 includes patients ≥6y to <12y, Group 3 includes patients ≥2y to <6y, and Group 4 includes patients ≥28days to <2y.

- Event-Free Survival (EFS) [ Time Frame: 2 years ]EFS is defined as the time from start of treatment to the date of hematologic disease relapse/progression, graft failure, or death due to any cause.
- Failure-Free Survival (FFS) [ Time Frame: 2 years ]FFS is defined as the time from the start of treatment to date of hematologic disease relapse/progression, non-relapse mortality, or addition of new systemic aGvHD treatment.
- Non Relapse Mortality (NRM) [ Time Frame: 2 years ]NRM is defined as the time from start of treatment to date of death not preceded by hematologic disease relapse/progression.
- Incidence of Malignancy Relapse/Progression (MR) [ Time Frame: 2 years ]MR is defined as the time from start of treatment to hematologic malignancy relapse/progression. Calculated for patients with underlying hematologic malignant disease.
- Incidence of cGvHD [ Time Frame: 2 years ]cGvHD is defined as the diagnosis of any cGvHD including mild, moderate, severe
- Monitoring of donor cell chimerism [ Time Frame: 2 years ]Monitoring of donor cell chimerism to assess graft failure is defined as initial whole blood or marrow donor chimerism >5% declining to <5% on subsequent measurements compared to baseline.
- Questionnaire on acceptability and palatability [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]Responses from the acceptability and palatability questionnaire for ruxolitinib dose forms used after first dose, 1 month and 6 months.
- Percentage of all patients who achieve a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) [ Time Frame: 56 days ]To assess the rate of durable ORR at Day 56

- PK parameter: Minimum serum concentration (Ctrough) versus safety [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]To assess pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationships (comparison of Ctrough with safety)
- PK parameter: Cmax versus safety [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]To assess pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics relationship (comparison of Cmax with safety)
- PK parameter: Ctrough versus efficacy [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]To assess pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics relationship (comparison of Ctrough with efficacy)
- PK parameter: AUC versus efficacy [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]To assess pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics relationship (comparison of AUC with efficacy)
- PK parameter: AUC versus PD biomarkers [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]To assess pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics relationship (Comparison of AUC with PD biomarkers)

- PK parameter: Ctrough versus PD biomarkers [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]To assess pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics relationship (Ctrough with PD biomarkers)
- Percentage of patients who achieved Overall Response (OR) [ Time Frame: Up to 28 days and before start of additional aGvHD therapy ]Estimation of Best overall response (BOR) - is defined as percentage of patients OR (complete response (CR) + partial response (PR)) at any time and up to Day 28 and before the start of additional systemic aGvHD therapy

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male or female patients age ≥28 days and <18 years at the time of informed consent.
- Patients who have undergone alloSCT from any donor source (matched unrelated donor, sibling, haplo-identical) using bone marrow, peripheral blood stem cells, or cord blood. Recipients of myeloablative or reduced intensity conditioning are eligible.
- Patients with a clinically confirmed diagnosis of grades II-IV aGvHD within 48 hours prior to study treatment start. Patients may have either: Treatment-naïve aGvHD (criteria per Harris et al. 2016) OR Steroid refractory aGvHD as per institutional criteria, or per physician decision in case institutional criteria are not available, and the patient is currently receiving systemic corticosteroids.
- Evident myeloid engraftment with ANC > 1,000/µl and platelet count >20,000/µl. (Use of growth factor supplementation and transfusion support is allowed.)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Has received the following systemic therapy for aGvHD: a) Treatment-naïve aGvHD patients have received any prior systemic treatment of aGvHD except for a maximum 72h of prior systemic corticosteroid therapy of methylprednisolone or equivalent after the onset of acute GvHD. Patients are allowed to have received prior GvHD prophylaxis which is not counted as systemic treatment (as long as the prophylaxis was started prior to the diagnosis of aGvHD); OR b) SR-aGvHD patients have received two or more prior systemic treatments for aGvHD in addition to corticosteroids
- Clinical presentation resembling de novo chronic GvHD or GvHD overlap syndrome with both acute and chronic GvHD features (as defined by Jagasia et al 2015).
- Failed prior alloSCT within the past 6 months.
- Presence of relapsed primary malignancy, or who have been treated for relapse after the alloSCT was performed, or who may require rapid immune suppression withdrawal of immune suppression as pre-emergent treatment of early malignancy relapse.
- Acute GvHD occurring after non-scheduled donor leukocyte infusion (DLI) administered for pre-emptive treatment of malignancy recurrence. Note: Patients who have received a scheduled DLI as part of their transplant procedure and not for management of malignancy relapse are eligible.
- Any corticosteroid therapy for indications other than aGvHD at doses > 1 mg/kg/day methylprednisolone (or equivalent prednisone dose 1.25 mg/kg/day) within 7 days of Screening. Routine corticosteroids administered during conditioning or cell infusion is allowed.
- Patients who received JAK inhibitor therapy for any indication after initiation of current alloSCT conditioning.
Other protocol-defined Inclusion/Exclusion may apply.
