Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Best Overall Response RateUp to 24 weeks

Best overall response rate by 24 weeks was defined as the proportion of participants who achieved a complete or partial overall response as assessed by the NIH cGVHD Activity Assessment (NCAA) within 24 weeks, in the setting of add-on therapy to systemic corticosteroids as part of first-line therapy for cGVHD.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants Who Permanently Discontinued Any Study Drug Due to an Adverse EventUp to 48 weeks plus 30 days
Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Treatment-Emergent Graded Laboratory AbnormalitiesUp to 48 weeks plus 30 days
Failure-Free SurvivalUp to 48 weeks

Failure-free survival was defined as the time from randomization to the earliest of first documentation of systemic therapy change, nonrelapse mortality, or recurrent malignancy.

Percentage of Participants Who Experience Any Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs)Up to 48 weeks plus 30 days

Treatment-emergent adverse events are defined as 1 or both of the following: 1) any AEs with an onset on or after study drug or placebo start date and no later than earlier of 30 days after permanent discontinuation of study drug or placebo, 2) any AEs leading to premature discontinuation of study drug or placebo.

Percentage of Participants Who Achieve at Least 50% Reduction in Systemic Corticosteroid Dose Relative to BaselineBaseline; Up to 48 weeks

The percentage reduction was calculated as (systemic corticosteroid dose post baseline - baseline systemic corticosteroid dose) / baseline systemic corticosteroid dose.

Percentage of Participants Who Initiate Second-Line Therapy for cGVHDUp to 48 weeks

Second-line therapy for cGVHD was defined as receiving any therapy besides systemic corticosteroids or study drug for the treatment of cGVHD. Inhaled and topical steroids are not considered second-line therapy.

Change From Baseline in the Skin Domain of the Lee Symptom Scale (LSS) at 24 WeeksBaseline; Week 24

The LSS is a patient-reported questionnaire used to measure symptom burden. Each of the LSS subscales ranged between 0 and 100, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms. A decrease from baseline value correlates with improvement in clinical outcome.

Change From Baseline in the Mouth Domain of the LSS at 24 WeeksBaseline; Week 24

The LSS is a patient-reported questionnaire used to measure symptom burden. Each of the LSS subscales ranged between 0 and 100, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms. A decrease from baseline value correlates with improvement in clinical outcome.

Change From Baseline in the Eyes Domain of the LSS at 24 WeeksBaseline; Week 24

The LSS is a patient-reported questionnaire used to measure symptom burden. Each of the LSS subscales ranged between 0 and 100, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms. A decrease from baseline value correlates with improvement in clinical outcome.

Change From Baseline in the Total Score of the LSS at 24 WeeksBaseline; Week 24

The LSS is a patient-reported questionnaire used to measure symptom burden. Each of the LSS subscales ranged between 0 and 100, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms. The total score was calculated by taking the average of the subscale scores. A decrease from baseline value correlates with improvement in clinical outcome.

Duration of ResponseUp to 48 weeks

Duration of response was defined as the time from the documentation of best overall response rate to the documentation of progressive disease. Note that flare was not considered as progressive disease in this analysis.
