Chronic Graft-versus-host-disease
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a Phase 2, randomized, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of KD025 in subjects with Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease (cGVHD) after at least 2 prior lines of systemic therapy
Detailed description
Phase 2, open label, randomized, multicenter study in subjects with cGVHD who have previously been treated with at least 2 prior lines of systemic therapy. Approximately 166 subjects with active cGVHD will be randomized (1:1) to receive treatment with one of two belumosudil (formerly known as KD025) regimens: * Arm A: belumosudil 200 mg QD * Arm B: belumosudil 200 mg BID With Amendment 2, the sample size was increased from approximately 126 subjects, with additional subjects to be enrolled as follows: * 20 adolescents * 20 adults into a site-specific Companion Study to collect biospecimens These additional subjects will also be randomized (1:1) to Arm A or Arm B. Any adolescent taking a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) or a strong CYP3A4 inducer will begin Cycle 1 Day 1 at the escalated dose of belumosudil 200 mg BID. Randomization will be stratified according to prior cGVHD treatment with ibrutinib (Yes / No) and severe cGVHD at baseline (Yes / No). Subjects may receive treatment in 28-day treatment cycles until clinically significant progression of cGVHD. Subjects who have not achieved a response after 12 cycles of belumosudil should be withdrawn if in the Investigator's judgment there is no evidence of clinical benefit. Subjects will undergo evaluations as outlined in the Study Assessments table (Appendix A). The primary endpoint is the overall response rate (ORR) with responses as defined by the 2014 National Institute of Health (NIH) Consensus Development Project on clinical trials in cGVHD.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Response Rate (ORR) | From the date of randomization to the date of first documentation of progression or death due to any cause or data cut-off, whichever occurred first (maximum duration: up to 40.5 months for adult arms and 27.6 months for adolescent arms) | The ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with a best response meeting the overall response criteria assessment of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) at any post-baseline response assessment. CR was defined as resolution of all manifestations of cGVHD in each organ or site. PR was defined as the improvement in at least one organ or site without progression in any other organ or site. Responses were assessed by the 2014 National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Development Project on Clinical Trials in cGVHD. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Participants With Improvement (>=7-Point Reduction [7-PtR] From Baseline) as Assessed by Lee Symptom Scale (LSS) Score | Baseline (Day 1) up to 40.5 months for adult arms; Baseline (Day 1) up to 27.6 months for adolescent arms | The questionnaire asked participants to indicate the degree of bother that they experienced due to symptoms in 7 domains potentially affected by chronic GVHD. It consists of 30 items of 7 domains: skin, eyes and mouth, breathing, eating and digestion, muscles and joints, energy, and mental and emotional. Each question is scored 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4. A domain score was calculated for each domain by taking the mean of all items completed if more than 50% were answered and normalizing to a 0 to 100 scale. A summary score was calculated as average of all non-missing domain scores if more than 50% of them were non-missing. A higher score indicated more bothersome symptoms. A 7-point difference on the summary score of cGVHD symptom scale was found to be clinically meaningful. |
| Number of Participants With Best Response by Organ System | From date of randomization until disease progression or data cut-off, whichever occurred first (maximum duration: up to 40.5 months for adult arms and 27.6 months for adolescent arms) | The best response (CR, PR) for individual organs (skin, eyes, mouth, esophagus, upper gastrointestinal \[GI\], lower GI, liver, lungs, joints and fascia) were summarized. CR was defined as resolution of all manifestations of cGVHD in each organ or site. PR was defined as the improvement in at least one organ or site without progression in any other organ or site. |
| Percentage of Participants With Best Response of PR and CR | From the date of randomization to the date of first documentation of progression or death due to any cause or data cut-off, whichever occurred first (maximum duration: up to 40.5 months for adult arms and 27.6 months for adolescent arms) | PR was defined as the improvement in at least one organ or site without progression in any other organ or site.

Recruitment details
The study was conducted at 33 centers in the United States. A total of 251 participants were screened between 11 October 2018 to 08 August 2023, of which 92 participants were screen failures in adult cohort due to not meeting eligibility criteria, there were no screen failures in adolescent cohort.
Pre-assignment details
156 participants were randomized in the adult cohort, 4 of which did not receive treatment. 3 participants were randomized in the adolescent cohort. The sponsor decided to prematurely terminate the study due to the challenges encountered in recruiting adolescent participants. This decision was made without any safety concerns.

Number of Participants With Best Response of Global Severity Rating Score as Based on the Clinician-Reported Global cGVHD Activity Assessment
The Clinician-reported global cGVHD Activity Assessment is a 0-10 point numeric rating scale with a score of 0 indicating cGVHD symptoms not at all severe and a score of 10 being most severe cGVHD symptoms possible. Higher scores indicated worse symptoms. Best response was defined as PR+CR. PR was defined as the improvement in at least one organ or site without progression in any other organ or site. CR was defined as resolution of all manifestations of cGVHD in each organ or site. Participants were categorized in 3 categories at baseline based on the global severity scores of \<6, =6-7 and \>7 and number of participants with best response for them is reported.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) up to 40.5 months for adult arms; Baseline (Day 1) up to 27.6 months for adolescent arms
Population: mITT population included all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug. Only participants with respective global severity rating score categories of \<6, =6-7 and \>7 assessed at baseline are reported.

Number of Participants With Improvement (>=7-Point Reduction [7-PtR] From Baseline) as Assessed by Lee Symptom Scale (LSS) Score
The questionnaire asked participants to indicate the degree of bother that they experienced due to symptoms in 7 domains potentially affected by chronic GVHD. It consists of 30 items of 7 domains: skin, eyes and mouth, breathing, eating and digestion, muscles and joints, energy, and mental and emotional. Each question is scored 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4. A domain score was calculated for each domain by taking the mean of all items completed if more than 50% were answered and normalizing to a 0 to 100 scale. A summary score was calculated as average of all non-missing domain scores if more than 50% of them were non-missing. A higher score indicated more bothersome symptoms. A 7-point difference on the summary score of cGVHD symptom scale was found to be clinically meaningful.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) up to 40.5 months for adult arms; Baseline (Day 1) up to 27.6 months for adolescent arms
Population: mITT population included all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug.
