Study summary

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common severe complication and a primary cause of mortality following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).Previous studies have demonstrated that the JAK/STAT signaling pathway exerts anti-GVHD effects by reducing the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, thereby inhibiting T-cell signaling transduction. Jaktinib is a broad-spectrum kinase inhibitor that targets non-receptor tyrosine Janus-associated kinases (JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, and TYK2), as well as FLT3 (FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3) and c-Kit. Preclinical studies indicated that Jaktinib significantly prolonged survival, mitigated weight loss, and improved clinical symptoms of GVHD in a dose-dependent manner in murine models.Based on this rationale, this prospective, single-arm, multicenter, exploratory clinical study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Jaktinib in the treatment of Grade II-IV steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD).

Inclusion criteria

  1. Voluntary written informed consent; aged 18 to 70 years, inclusive; male or female.
  2. Prior allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) with documented myeloid engraftment.
  3. Patients with grade II-IV steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD).
  4. Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) score ≥ 60, with an expected survival of greater than 6 months.
  5. Absence of uncontrolled infection or severe hepatic, renal, pulmonary, or cardiac disease.
  6. Male participants must agree to practice abstinence or use contraception; female participants must have a negative pregnancy test and agree to use dual methods of contraception.
  7. Able to swallow tablets.
  8. Able to comply with study and follow-up procedures.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Has received more than one systemic treatment for aGvHD other than corticosteroids +/- CNI (prophylaxis or treatment).
  2. Has previously received chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy.
  3. Has previously received JAK inhibitor therapy after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).
  4. Clinical presentation resembling de novo chronic GvHD or GvHD overlap syndrome with both acute and chronic GvHD features.
  5. Failed prior alloHSCT within the past 6 months.
  6. Presence of severe respiratory disease, severe renal impairment, clinically significant or uncontrolled cardiac disease, unresolved cholestasis, and hepatic disease (not attributable to aGvHD).
  7. Presence of an active uncontrolled infection including significant bacterial, fungal, viral or parasitic infection requiring treatment. Infections are considered controlled if appropriate therapy has been instituted and, at the time of screening, no signs of progression are present.Progression of infection is defined as hemodynamic instability attributable to sepsis, new symptoms, worsening physical signs or radiographic findings attributable to infection. Persisting fever without other signs or symptoms will not be interpreted as progressing infection.
  8. Evidence of active viral infection (confirmed by peripheral blood viral load) including CMV, EBV, HHV-6, HBV, or HCV. Patients with pre-transplant positive serology results indicative of high risk for viral reactivation must have negative viral load results within 28 days prior to enrollment. Patients whose immune status is unknown or uncertain (e.g. serologies not obtained prior to transplant) must have viral load results confirming no evidence of active viral infection within 28 days prior to enrollment.
  9. Presence of relapsed primary malignancy, or who have been treated for relapse after the alloHSCT was performed, or who may require rapid immune suppression withdrawal as pre-emergent treatment of early malignancy relapse.
  10. Has participated in any other clinical trials within 28 days before first administration.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Jaktinib Arm

    Eligible participants with Grade II-IV steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (SR-aGVHD) will be assigned to this single group. All patients in this arm will receive Jaktinib treatment to evaluate its safety and clinical efficacy.

    Drug: Jaktinib

Interventions

  • Beginning on Day 1, participants will receive jaktinib orally at the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) , until the earliest occurrence of clinically meaningful aGVHD progression (defined as disease progression necessitating the initiation of new systemic therapy for aGVHD), hematologic disease relapse, unacceptable AE, withdrawal of consent by the participant, investigator's decision to discontinue, or study completion, whichever occurs first.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Overall response rate (ORR)

    The proportion of patients who had a complete response or partial response as compared with baseline organ staging without the use of additional systemic therapy for acute GVHD.

    Time frame: Day 28

Secondary outcomes

  1. Durable overall response (DOR) at Day 56

    The proportion of patients who had response at day 28 that was maintained at day 56.

    Time frame: Day 56

  2. Best Overall Response (BOR)

    The proportion of patients who achieved a complete response or partial response at any time point up to and including Day 56 and before the start of additional systemic therapy for aGVHD.

    Time frame: Day 56

  3. Overall response rate (ORR)

    The proportion of patients who had a complete response or partial response as compared with baseline organ staging without the use of additional systemic therapy for acute GVHD.

    Time frame: Day 56

  4. Overall Survival (OS)

    The time from the date of enrollment to the date of death due to any cause.

    Time frame: 1 year

  5. Failure-Free Survival (FFS)

    The time from the date of enrollment to date of hematologic disease relapse/progression, non-relapse mortality, or addition of new systemic aGvHD treatment.

    Time frame: 1 year

  6. Relapse-Free Survival (RFS)

    The interval from enrollment to the date of death from any cause in the absence of hematologic disease relapse or progression.

    Time frame: 1 year

  7. Disease Relapse Rate

    Cumulative incidence of hematological malignancy relapse or progression.

    Time frame: 1 year

  8. Event-Free Survival (EFS)

    Time from the date of enrollment to the date of hematologic disease relapse/progression, graft failure, or death due to any cause.

    Time frame: 1 year

  9. Incidence of Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease (cGVHD)

    Cumulative incidence of cGVHD post-allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. cGvHD, defined as the diagnosis of any cGvHD including mild, moderate, severe.

    Time frame: 1 year

  10. Safety and Tolerability (TEAEs)

    Evaluation of the safety and tolerability profiles of jaktinib, including the incidence of treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs).

    Time frame: Treatment period to 28 days after the last dose of trial treatment.

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.
