Hematopoietic Stem Cells | Drug: Vedolizumab Drug: Vedolizumab Placebo | Phase 3 |
The drug being tested in this study is called vedolizumab. Vedolizumab is being tested to treat people who are undergoing allo-HSCT transplantation. This study will look at the efficacy and safety of vedolizumab in the prophylaxis of intestinal aGvHD in participants undergoing allo-HSCT transplantation.
The study will enroll approximately 558 participants. Participants will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) in 1:1 ratio to one of the two treatment groups-which will remain undisclosed to the participant and study doctor during the study (unless there is an urgent medical need) along with background GvHD prophylaxis regimen:
- Vedolizumab 300 mg
- Placebo (dummy inactive intravenous infusion)
This multi-center trial will be conducted Worldwide. The overall time to participate in this study is 12 months.

- Intestinal aGvHD-Free Survival by Day +180 After Allo-HSCT [ Time Frame: From the date of first dose of study drug to first documented intestinal aGvHD or death, whichever occurs first (up to Day +180) ]Intestinal aGvHD-free survival is defined as the time from the date of first dose of study drug to first documented intestinal aGvHD per aGVHD Clinical Stage criteria or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
- Intestinal aGvHD-Free and Relapse-Free Survival by Day +180 [ Time Frame: From the date of first dose of study drug to first documented intestinal aGvHD criteria, relapse or death, whichever occurs first (up to Day +180) ]Intestinal aGvHD-free and relapse-free survival is defined as the time from the date of first dose of study drug to first documented intestinal aGvHD per aGVHD Clinical Stage criteria, relapse or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
