Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Outcomes

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
* Participant must be 6 months to 70 years of age, inclusive.
* Participants who have failed to respond to steroid treatment.

Failure to respond to steroid treatment is defined as any grade B-D (IBMTR) grading of acute GVHD that shows:

* No improvement after 3 days and a duration of no greater than 2 weeks while receiving treatment with methylprednisolone (greater than or equal to 1 mg/kg/day) or equivalent.
* Participant must be treated within 4 days of randomization. In urgent situations 2nd line therapy may be started 24 hours prior to randomization, and Prochymal® must be initiated within the following 3 days.
* Participants who have received an increase in their steroid dose treatment prior to randomization will be eligible for enrollment. An increase in steroid dose will not be considered as second line therapy.
* Participant must have adequate renal function as defined by: Calculated Creatinine Clearance of >30 milliliters per minute (mL/min) using the Cockcroft-Gault equation.
* For pediatric participants: Schwartz equation: (Participant population: infants over 1 week old through adolescence (<18 years old).
* Participants who are women of childbearing potential must be non-pregnant, not breast-feeding, and use adequate contraception. Male participants must use adequate contraception.
* Participant must have a minimum Karnofsky Performance Level of at least 30 at the time of study entry.
* Participant (or legal representative where appropriate) must be capable of providing written informed consent.

Key exclusion criteria
