Inclusion Criteria

  • 1. Signed informed consent for this trial prior to any trial specific assessment. A signed assent form will also be required for any subjects under the age of 18 years
  • 2. Male or female subjects aged 12 years or above at the time of consent and who weigh a minimum of 40 kg
  • 3. Have undergone alloSCT from any donor source (matched unrelated donor, sibling, haplo-identical) using bone marrow, peripheral blood stem cells, or cord blood. Recipients of non-myeloablative, myeloablative, and reduced intensity conditioning are eligible
  • 4. Evident myeloid and platelet engraftment (confirmed prior to trial medication start):
  • a) Absolute neutrophil count >1000/mm3
  • b) Platelets =20,000/mm3
  • Use of growth factor supplementation (granulocyte-colony stimulating factor and granulocyte-macrophage-colony stimulating factor) and transfusion support is allowed
  • 5. Histologically diagnosed GI-aGVHD at screening (with clinically confirmed SR GI-aGVHD at RUX start and prior to apraglutide start) defined as subjects administered SS, given alone or combined with calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) and either:
  • a) Disease progression based on organ assessment after 3 days
  • b) Did not improve after 7 days of treatment with MP 2mg/kg/day equivalent,
  • c) Progressed to a new organ after treatment with MP 2 mg/kg/day equivalent for skin and upper GI-aGVHD,
  • d) Recurred during or after a steroid taper
  • All subjects must have Stage 1–4 lower GI-aGVHD at enrollment
  • 6. Treated with SS plus RUX (RUX at the recommended dose twice daily for 0–3 days). CNI are allowed as co-medication, if needed
  • 7. Women of childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception during the trial and for 4 weeks after the EOT visit. Such methods include combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, intravaginal, transdermal); progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, injectable, implantable); intrauterine device; intrauterine hormone-releasing
  • system; bilateral tubal occlusion; vasectomized partner. To be considered sterilized or infertile, females must have undergone surgical sterilization (bilateral tubectomy, hysterectomy, or bilateral ovariectomy) or be post-menopausal (defined as at least 12 months amenorrhea
  • without an alternative medical cause, may be confirmed with follicle-stimulating hormone test in case of doubt). Women who do not engage in heterosexual intercourse will be allowed to join the trial without contraception following a thorough discussion with the Investigator to determine if this is feasible for the subject. The following methods are not considered acceptable methods of contraception: calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods, withdrawal (coitus interruptus), spermicides only, and lactational amenorrhea method
  • 8. Male subjects with a female partner of childbearing potential must commit to practice methods of contraception and abstain from sperm donation during the trial and for 2 weeks after the EOT visit.
  • Nevertheless, if their partners are women of childbearing potential, they must agree to practice contraception and use a highly effective method of contraception during the trial and for 4 weeks after the EOT visit.
  • Such methods include combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, intravaginal, transdermal); progestogen-only hormonal

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1. Treatment with any systemic GVHD therapy other than SS and RUX including methotrexate and mycophenolate mofetil. For subjects on GVHD prophylaxis (ciclosporin A, tacrolimus, sirolimus, everolimus, or anti-thymocyte globulin) this medication can be continued
  • 2. Concomitant treatment with Janus kinase inhibitor therapy for any other indication after initiation of current alloSCT conditioning
  • 3. Presence of any systemic corticosteroid therapy for indications other than aGVHD within 7 days prior to screening. Low doses of prednisolone/hydrocortisone for adrenal suppression are allowed
  • 4. Failed alloSCT within the past 6 months before randomization
  • 5. Presence of SR GI-aGVHD occurring after non-scheduled donor lymphocyte infusion administered for pre-emptive treatment of malignancy recurrence
  • 6. Previous administration of any investigational treatment agent within 30 days prior to screening or within five half-lives of the trial medication, whichever is greater. Subjects who have received placebo in a previous study during this period may be included.
  • 7. Known or suspected hypersensitivity to GLP-1 or GLP-2 analogs or apraglutide excipients
  • 8.Any use of enteral glutamine or growth factors such as native GLP-2, GLP-1 or GLP-2 and GLP-1 analogs within 6 months prior to randomization
  • 9.Inability to understand or adhere to the trial visit schedules and other protocol requirements, including subjects not willing to comply due to drug/alcohol abuse or any condition that would interfere with full participation in the trial, including administration of trial medication and attending required trial visits; pose a significant risk to the subject; or interfere with interpretation of trial data
  • 10. Less than 2 weeks anticipated survival at screening
  • 11.Known significant respiratory disease including subjects who are on mechanical ventilation or who have known resting O2 saturation <90% by pulse-oximetry on room air
  • 12.Presence of severely impaired renal function requiring dialysis, or has an estimated creatinine clearance <29 mL/min/1.73m2 measured or calculated by the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation (CKD-EPI; confirmed within 48 hours prior to randomization)
  • 13.Presence of decompensated liver cirrhosis Child-Pugh Class B and C
  • 14.Clinically significant or uncontrolled cardiac disease including acute myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to randomization, uncontrolled hypertension, New York Heart Association Class III or IV congestive heart failure, unstable angina within last 6 months prior to screening, or presence of severe arrhythmia
  • 15.Requirement for vasopressor or inotropic support (within 30 days to randomization)
  • 16.Presence of uncontrolled cholestatic disorders or unresolved sinusoidal obstructive syndrome/veno-occlusive disease of the liver
  • 17.Presence of relapsed primary malignancy, or treatment for relapse after the alloSCT, or requirement for rapid immune suppression withdrawal as pre-emergent treatment of early malignancy relapse
  • 18.Presence of newly diagnosed malignancies (intestinal- or liver malignancies) or history of chronic gall bladder or bile duct inflammation or biliary obstruction unless cholecystectomy was performed prior to screening
  • 19.Presence of GI tumors or colonic polyps that are not removed
  • 20.Presence of an active uncontrolled infection such as active viral infection (confirmed by peripheral blood viral load) including Epstein Barr virus, SARS-COV-2 virus, human immunodeficiency vir
