Study summary

This is a Phase 2, randomized, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of KD025 in subjects with Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease (cGVHD) after at least 2 prior lines of systemic therapy

Read the detailed description

Phase 2, open label, randomized, multicenter study in subjects with cGVHD who have previously been treated with at least 2 prior lines of systemic therapy. Approximately 166 subjects with active cGVHD will be randomized (1:1) to receive treatment with one of two belumosudil (formerly known as KD025) regimens:

  • Arm A: belumosudil 200 mg QD
  • Arm B: belumosudil 200 mg BID

With Amendment 2, the sample size was increased from approximately 126 subjects, with additional subjects to be enrolled as follows:

  • 20 adolescents
  • 20 adults into a site-specific Companion Study to collect biospecimens

These additional subjects will also be randomized (1:1) to Arm A or Arm B.

Any adolescent taking a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) or a strong CYP3A4 inducer will begin Cycle 1 Day 1 at the escalated dose of belumosudil 200 mg BID.

Randomization will be stratified according to prior cGVHD treatment with ibrutinib (Yes / No) and severe cGVHD at baseline (Yes / No). Subjects may receive treatment in 28-day treatment cycles until clinically significant progression of cGVHD. Subjects who have not achieved a response after 12 cycles of belumosudil should be withdrawn if in the Investigator's judgment there is no evidence of clinical benefit. Subjects will undergo evaluations as outlined in the Study Assessments table (Appendix A). The primary endpoint is the overall response rate (ORR) with responses as defined by the 2014 National Institute of Health (NIH) Consensus Development Project on clinical trials in cGVHD.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Line of therapy

A line of therapy is one course of treatment, which may combine several drugs. First-line is the first course given; second-line follows when that stops working or is not tolerated.

“Two prior lines” means two courses that count separately under the study’s rules — not simply two drugs. Ask the study team if you are unsure how yours are counted.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Karnofsky performance status (KPS)

A 0–100 scale of how well someone can carry out everyday activities. 100 is no complaints and no signs of illness; 70 is able to look after yourself but not to work or keep up normal activity; 50 is needing considerable help and frequent medical care.

Studies often ask for 60 or 70 and above. Your doctor gives the score.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

GVHD (graft-versus-host disease)

After a transplant from a donor, the donor’s immune cells attack the recipient’s body, often the skin, gut or liver.

Washout period

A planned gap after a treatment, so that its effects can lessen before the study treatment or a study assessment. Ask the study team and the doctor who prescribed it before changing any medicine.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    The ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with a best response meeting the overall response criteria assessment of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) at any post-baseline response assessment. CR was defined as resolution of all manifestations of cGVHD in each organ or site. PR was defined as the improvement in at least one organ or site without progression in any other organ or site. Responses were assessed by the 2014 National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Development Project on Clinical Trials in cGVHD.

    Time frame: From the date of randomization to the date of first documentation of progression or death due to any cause or data cut-off, whichever occurred first (maximum duration: up to 40.5 months for adult arms and 27.6 months for adolescent arms)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Duration of Response (DOR)

    DOR is defined as the time from first documentation of response to the time of first documentation of deterioration from best response (e.g., CR to PR, or PR to Lack of response \[LR\]). CR was defined as resolution of all manifestations of cGVHD in each organ or site. PR was defined as the improvement in at least one organ or site without progression in any other organ or site. LR included the response status of mixed, unchanged, or progression. Mixed LR was defined as complete or partial response in at least one organ accompanied by progression in another organ. Unchanged LR was defined as outcomes that did not meet the criteria for complete response, partial response, progression or mixed response. Progression LR-P was defined as progression in at least one organ or site without a response in any other organ or site. Confidence interval (CI) is calculated using Kaplan-Meier method.

    Time frame: From the date of randomization to the date of first documentation of progression or death due to any cause or data cut-off, whichever occurred first (maximum duration: up to 40.5 months for adult arms and 27.6 months for adolescent arms)

  2. Number of Participants With Improvement (>=7-Point Reduction [7-PtR] From Baseline) as Assessed by Lee Symptom Scale (LSS) Score

    The questionnaire asked participants to indicate the degree of bother that they experienced due to symptoms in 7 domains potentially affected by chronic GVHD. It consists of 30 items of 7 domains: skin, eyes and mouth, breathing, eating and digestion, muscles and joints, energy, and mental and emotional. Each question is scored 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4. A domain score was calculated for each domain by taking the mean of all items completed if more than 50% were answered and normalizing to a 0 to 100 scale. A summary score was calculated as average of all non-missing domain scores if more than 50% of them were non-missing. A higher score indicated more bothersome symptoms. A 7-point difference on the summary score of cGVHD symptom scale was found to be clinically meaningful.

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) up to 40.5 months for adult arms; Baseline (Day 1) up to 27.6 months for adolescent arms

  3. Number of Participants With Best Response by Organ System

    The best response (CR, PR) for individual organs (skin, eyes, mouth, esophagus, upper gastrointestinal \[GI\], lower GI, liver, lungs, joints and fascia) were summarized. CR was defined as resolution of all manifestations of cGVHD in each organ or site. PR was defined as the improvement in at least one organ or site without progression in any other organ or site.

    Time frame: From date of randomization until disease progression or data cut-off, whichever occurred first (maximum duration: up to 40.5 months for adult arms and 27.6 months for adolescent arms)

  4. Percentage of Participants With Best Response of PR and CR

    PR was defined as the improvement in at least one organ or site without progression in any other organ or site. CR was defined as resolution of all manifestations of cGVHD in each organ or site. Responses were assessed by the 2014 NIH Consensus Development Project on Clinical Trials in cGVHD.

    Time frame: From the date of randomization to the date of first documentation of progression or death due to any cause or data cut-off, whichever occurred first (maximum duration: up to 40.5 months for adult arms and 27.6 months for adolescent arms)

  5. Percent Change From Baseline in Corticosteroid Dose to Greatest Reduction

    Change in corticosteroid doses was analyzed by using prednisone dose equivalents. If participants were not using prednisone as the systemic corticosteroid, then the prednisone dose equivalent would be determined according to following conversion ratios: 1 mg prednisone is equivalent to: 4.0 mg Hydrocortisone; 0.8 mg Methylprednisolone; 0.15 mg Dexamethasone; 1.0 mg Prednisolone and 0.8 mg Triamcinolone.

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) and 40.5 months for adult arms; Baseline (Day 1) and 27.6 months for adolescent arms

  6. Percentage of Participants With Reduction and Discontinuation of Calcineurin Inhibitor Dose

    Calcineurin inhibitors include systemic tacrolimus and cyclosporine. Percentage of participants with reduction and discontinuation of calcineurin inhibitor dose is presented.

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) up to 40.5 months for adult arms; Baseline (Day 1) up to 27.6 months for adolescent arms

  7. Failure-Free Survival (FFS)

    FFS was defined as the absence of new cGVHD systemic therapy, non-relapse mortality and recurrent malignancy (i.e. underlying disease) and was censored by last response assessment or long term follow up assessment, whichever was the latest and available.

    Time frame: From first dose of study drug to the time of first documentation of response or data cut-off, whichever occurred first (maximum duration: up to 40.5 months for adult arms and 27.6 months for adolescent arms)

  8. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS was defined as time from first dose of belumosudil to the date of death due to any cause.

    Time frame: From first dose of study drug to date of death from any cause or data cut-off, whichever occurred first (maximum duration: up to 40.5 months for adult arms and 27.6 months for adolescent arms)

  9. Number of Participants With Best Response of Global Severity Rating Score as Based on the Clinician-Reported Global cGVHD Activity Assessment

    The Clinician-reported global cGVHD Activity Assessment is a 0-10 point numeric rating scale with a score of 0 indicating "cGVHD symptoms not at all severe" and a score of 10 being "most severe cGVHD symptoms possible". Higher scores indicated worse symptoms. Best response was defined as PR+CR. PR was defined as the improvement in at least one organ or site without progression in any other organ or site. CR was defined as resolution of all manifestations of cGVHD in each organ or site. Participants were categorized in 3 categories at baseline based on the global severity scores of \<6, =6-7 and \>7 and number of participants with best response for them is reported.

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) up to 40.5 months for adult arms; Baseline (Day 1) up to 27.6 months for adolescent arms

  10. Change From Baseline in Patient Self-Reported Symptom Activity Based on cGVHD Activity Assessment

    The symptom activity item is a 0-10-point numeric rating scale with a score of 0 indicating "cGVHD symptoms not at all severe" and a score of 10 being "most severe cGVHD symptoms possible". The status reported by participants were categorized as none, mild, moderate, and severe. Higher scores indicated worse symptoms. Baseline was defined as the valid and last non-missing value obtained within 14 days prior to participants receiving the first study drug.

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) and 40.5 months for adult arms; Baseline (Day 1) and 27.6 months for adolescent arms

  11. Maximum Concentration Observed (Cmax) of Belumosudil

    Blood samples were collected at the specified timepoints to evaluate Cmax of belumosudil. As pre-specified in protocol, pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were only calculated for participants with full PK samples. Thus, PK parameters were not calculated for adolescent participants who only had sparse PK samples.

    Time frame: Cycles 1 and 2: Pre-dose and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 12 hours post dose on Day 1 for adult arms; Cycles 2 and 4: Pre-dose and 3 and 5 hours post dose on Day 1 for adolescent arms

  12. Observed Time to Reach Peak Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Belumosudil

    Blood samples were collected at the specified timepoints to evaluate Tmax of belumosudil. As pre-specified in protocol, PK parameters were only calculated for participants with full PK samples. Thus, PK parameters were not calculated for adolescent participants who only had sparse PK samples.

    Time frame: Cycles 1 and 2: Pre-dose and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 12 hours post dose on Day 1 for adult arms; Cycles 2 and 4: Pre-dose and 3 and 5 hours post dose on Day 1 for adolescent arms

  13. Area Under the Curve Over Time Interval From 0 to 6 Hours (AUC0-6) of Belumosudil

    Blood samples were collected at the specified timepoints to evaluate AUC0-6 of belumosudil. As pre-specified in protocol, PK parameters were only calculated for participants with full PK samples. Thus, PK parameters were not calculated for adolescent participants who only had sparse PK samples.

    Time frame: Cycles 1 and 2: Pre-dose and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 12 hours post dose on Day 1 for adult arms; Cycles 2 and 4: Pre-dose and 3 and 5 hours post dose on Day 1 for adolescent arms

  14. Time to Response (TTR)

    TTR was measured as the time from first treatment to the time of first documentation of response.

    Time frame: From first dose of study drug to the time of first documentation of response or data cut-off, whichever occurred first(maximum duration: up to 40.5 months for adult arms and 27.6 months for adolescent arms)

  15. Time to Next Treatment (TTNT)

    The TTNT was measured as the time from first treatment to the time of new systemic cGVHD treatment, censored by last response assessment or long term follow up assessment, whichever was the latest and available.

    Time frame: From first dose of study drug to the time of new treatment or censoring date, whichever occurred first (maximum duration: up to 40.5 months for adult arms and 27.6 months for adolescent arms)

SecondaryNumber of Participants With Best Response of Global Severity Rating Score as Based on the Clinician-Reported Global cGVHD Activity Assessment

The Clinician-reported global cGVHD Activity Assessment is a 0-10 point numeric rating scale with a score of 0 indicating "cGVHD symptoms not at all severe" and a score of 10 being "most severe cGVHD symptoms possible". Higher scores indicated worse symptoms. Best response was defined as PR+CR. PR was defined as the improvement in at least one organ or site without progression in any other organ or site. CR was defined as resolution of all manifestations of cGVHD in each organ or site. Participants were categorized in 3 categories at baseline based on the global severity scores of \<6, =6-7 and \>7 and number of participants with best response for them is reported.

Time frame:
Baseline (Day 1) up to 40.5 months for adult arms; Baseline (Day 1) up to 27.6 months for adolescent arms

SecondaryChange From Baseline in Patient Self-Reported Symptom Activity Based on cGVHD Activity Assessment

The symptom activity item is a 0-10-point numeric rating scale with a score of 0 indicating "cGVHD symptoms not at all severe" and a score of 10 being "most severe cGVHD symptoms possible". The status reported by participants were categorized as none, mild, moderate, and severe. Higher scores indicated worse symptoms. Baseline was defined as the valid and last non-missing value obtained within 14 days prior to participants receiving the first study drug.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 12, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
