Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Pregnyl® when given in combination with standard immunosuppressive therapy in pediatric and adult patients with high-risk (Arm 1) or refractory/dependent (Arm 2) aGVHD.

Interventions

Standard of care immunosuppression, plus Pregnyl® at assigned dose subcutaneously every other day for up to 5 doses through day 7 Phase I: up to 7 dose levels of Pregnyl® will be tested; however dose levels -1 and -2 will be used only if dose level 1 proves too toxic. Study will use Continual Reassessment Method (CRM) to establish a maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Step -2: 125 USP hCG/875 pg EGF/m2 Step -1: 250 USP hCG/1,750 pg EGF/m2 Step 1 (start): 500 USP hCG/3,500 pg EGF/m2 Step 2: 1,000 USP hCG/7,000 pg EGF/m2 Step 3: 2,000 USP hCG/14,000 pg EGF/m2 Step 4 (Arm 2b only): 3,500 USP hCG/24,500 pg EGF/m2 Step 5 (Arm 2b only): 5,000 USP hCG/35,000 pg EGF/m Phase II: the dose of Pregnyl will be that identified as the MTD during phase I.

Individual patient dose reductions: If a patient has toxicity that meets the definition of dose limiting, the patient can drop down one dose level for the next injection and continue treatment. Pregnyl®: Standard of care immunosuppression, plus Pregnyl® at assigned dose subcutaneously every other day for up to 5 doses through day 7 Phase I: up to 7 dose levels of Pregnyl® will be tested; however dose levels -1 and -2 will be used only if dose level 1 proves too toxic. Study will use Continual Reassessment Method (CRM) to establish a maximum tolerated dose (MTD).
