Overview
Brief Summary
This is a multi-center study to compare the efficacy and safety of itolizumab versus placebo as first-line therapy for subjects with Grade III-IV aGVHD or Grade II with LGI involvement, in combination with corticosteroids
Detailed Description
This study will enroll 200 subjects at approximately 125 sites globally. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to active or placebo and will receive a total of 7 doses administered intravenously approximately every 2 weeks. The study follows the patients for a total of approximately 365 days.
