NCT01106833

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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Proportion of Participants With Treatment Success

    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.

    6 months and 24 months post-randomization

Secondary Outcomes (16)

  • Percentage of Participants With Overall Survival

    6 months and 24 months post-randomization

  • Percentage of Participants With Progression-free Survival

    6 months and 24 months post-randomization

  • Percentage of Participants With Failure-free Survival

    6 months and 24 months post-randomization

  • Percentage of Participants With Relapse

    6 months and 24 months post-randomization

  • Percentage of Participants With Secondary Immunosuppressive Therapy Initiated

    6 months and 24 months post-randomization

  • +11 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

calcineurin inhibitor

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Sirolimus + calcineurin inhibitor + prednisone

Drug: Sirolimus + calcineurin inhibitor + prednisone

Sirolimus and prednisone

EXPERIMENTAL

Sirolimus + prednisone

Drug: Sirolimus + prednisone

Interventions

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.

Eligibility Criteria

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Suitable candidates are patients with classic chronic GVHD or overlap syndrome (classic chronic plus acute GVHD)that is: a)Previously untreated (newly diagnosed) as defined by having received \< 14 days of prednisone (or equivalent) before enrollment/randomization to study therapy; b)Previously treated but inadequately responding after ≤ 16 weeks of initial therapy with prednisone and/or calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) ± additional non-sirolimus agent (started at the time of chronic GVHD diagnosis).
  • Patient or guardian willing and able to provide informed consent.
  • Stated willingness to use contraception in women of childbearing potential.
  • Stated willingness of patient to comply with study procedures and reporting requirements.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with late persistent acute GVHD or recurrent acute GVHD only.
  • Inability to begin prednisone therapy at a dose of greater than 0.5 mg/kg/day.
  • Receiving sirolimus for treatment of chronic GVHD (sirolimus for prophylaxis or treatment of acute GVHD is acceptable).
  • Already receiving sirolimus (for prophylaxis or treatment of acute GVHD) with prednisone at ≥ 0.25 mg/kg/day (or equivalent) ± additional agents.
  • Receiving therapy for chronic GVHD for more than 16 weeks.
  • Invasive fungal or viral infection not responding to appropriate antifungal or antiviral therapies.
  • Inadequate renal function defined as measured creatinine clearance less than 50 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 based on the Cockcroft-Gault formula (adults) or Schwartz formula (age less than or equal to 12 years). Adults: estimated creatinine clearance rate (eCCr) (mL/min/) = (140 - age) x mass (kg) x (0.85 if female)/72 x serum creatinine (mg/dL; Creatinine clearance (mL/min/1.73m\^2) = eCCr x 1.73/Body Surface Area (BSA) (m\^2); Children: eCCr (mL/min/1.73 m\^2) = k x height (cm) / serum creatinine (mg/dL) k = 0.33 (pre-term), 0.45 (full term to 1 year old), 0.55 (age 1-12 years).
  • Inability to tolerate oral medications.
  • Absolute neutrophil count less than 1500 per microliter.
  • Requirement for platelet transfusions.
  • Pregnancy (positive serum β-HCG) or breastfeeding.
  • Receiving any treatment for persistent, progressive or recurrent malignancy.
  • Progressive or recurrent malignancy defined other than by quantitative molecular assays.
  • Known hypersensitivity to sirolimus.
