Dental Cleaning to Prevent Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease

This clinical trial evaluates the feasibility and effectiveness of a post-transplant dental cleaning for the prevention of chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) in patients undergoing an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). HCT is the only curative treatment for some types of blood cancer. Unfortunately, this approach can lead to the development of GVHD, which is a disease caused when cells from a donated stem cell graft attack the normal tissue of the transplant patient. Some research has shown that the bacteria that is present in the dental plaque soon after transplant may affect the development of chronic GVHD. Dental cleanings prior to transplant are part of the normal standard of care for patients undergoing HCT. Adding an additional cleaning shortly after HCT may be effective for preventing the development of chronic GVHD.

A Prospective Study of Madecassoside Tablets in Sclerotic Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease After Allo-HSCT

Sclerotic chronic graft-versus-host disease (scl-cGVHD) is a severe subtype of chronic GVHD after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), characterized by skin sclerosis, fascial involvement, and restricted joint mobility, leading to substantial functional impairment and reduced quality of life. Current standard therapies, including corticosteroids and other immunosuppressive agents, have limited efficacy in patients with refractory or steroid-dependent disease. Madecassoside tablets, a standardized extract of Centella asiatica, have demonstrated anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic properties in previous studies and may provide therapeutic benefit in fibrotic diseases. This study is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm phase 2 clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of madecassoside tablets combined with standard therapy in patients with scl-cGVHD after allo-HSCT. Eligible participants will receive oral madecassoside tablets (0.2 g three times daily) in addition to standard treatment for 6 months. Clinical assessments will be performed at baseline and at weeks 4, 8, 12, and 24. The primary endpoint is the improvement rate of skin and/or joint/fascia NIH cGVHD scores at 6 months according to the 2014 NIH consensus criteria. Secondary endpoints include overall cGVHD response rate, failure-free survival, non-relapse mortality, corticosteroid dose reduction, patient-reported outcomes, and safety assessments. Peripheral blood samples will also be collected to explore changes in inflammatory cytokines and lymphocyte subsets during treatment.

Axatilimab for Sclerotic Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease

This phase II trial tests how well axatilimab works in treating patients with thickening or hardening (sclerosis) of the skin related to chronic graft-versus-host disease after a donor stem cell transplant. Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) remains a major complication of donor stem cell transplants. Sclerosis, while not associated with a higher risk of death, can lead to serious disabilities. Usual treatments for cGVHD can be associated with significant side effects and unsatisfactory outcomes. A monoclonal antibody, like axatilimab, is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Axatilimab blocks a receptor and depletes cells that may be involved in the development of inflammation and fibrosis in cGVHD. Giving axatilimab may improve or prevent worsening of sclerosis related to cGVHD in patients after a donor stem cell transplant.

Ruxolitinib Plus Fostamatinib for Steroid Refractory cGvHD

This is an open-label phase I study of fostamatinib in combination with ruxolitinib for the treatment of chronic GvHD with a suboptimal response to corticosteroids. The primary objective is to identify a minimum safe and biologically effective dose of fostamatinib when combined with standard of care ruxolitinib for the treatment of steroid refractory and steroid dependent cGVHD. The secondary objective is to estimate the efficacy of the combination of ruxolitinib and fostamatinib for the treatment of steroid refractory and steroid dependent cGVHD. The target enrollment is 24-30 subjects. The study will begin with an initial dose escalation cohort employing a modified 3+3 design to investigate up to three doses of fostamatinib. Using safety, efficacy, pharmacodynamic (PD), and pharmacokinetic data (PK), an interim assessment will be performed to determine two candidate doses of the biologically optimal dose to investigate further. A safety expansion cohort will be opened to backfill these two candidate doses up to a total 12 patients per dose, including those in the dose escalation cohort who received the candidate doses. Patients will then be randomized to one of these two candidate doses in the expansion. If there is an imbalance in the two expansion cohorts, the remaining patient slots after 1:1 randomization will be sequentially backfilled to a total of 12 patients per cohort. A final analysis of safety, efficacy, and PK/PD data in patients who received the two candidate doses will be conducted to determine a minimum safety and biologically effective dose, which will be the recommended phase II dose (RP2D). The primary hypothesis is that Fostamatinib combined with ruxolitinib is a safe therapy for and has synergistic activity in cGvHD. The recommended phase II dose will be determined by the study investigators in collaboration with the sponsors. The decision to select the recommended phase II dose will occur only after all patients in the part 1 have completed at least 28 days of therapy. The decision will be based on the valuation of all relevant, available data, and not solely on dose-limiting toxicities.

Tissue Immune Landscape of Graft Versus Host Disease After Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation (TIL-GVHD)

Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD) is frequent after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT). GVHD occurs following 2 patterns : acute GVHD (aGVHD) or chronic GVHD (cGVHD). The latter occurs in nearly 50% of patients and its pathogenesis remains poorly understood. Previous translational studies have delineated biological immune dysregulation involved in cGVHD and facilitated the development of new drug and therapeutic strategies. New aspects of T and B cells collaboration in the context of cGVHD using blood description of a key player called TFH, classicaly involved in germinal center reaction, were previously uncovered (Forcade et al, Blood 2016). Previous studies in the context of auto-immune inflammation (lupus nephritis) or organ transplant rejection, suggested that target tissue could contain accessory lymphoid structures (TLS). The description of such structures in cGVHD target tissue would give the opportunity to directly analyze immune key player involved the pathogenesis of cGVHD.
