A Phase 2 interventional study of Lanoracopan and Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) in Hematologic Malignancies, Haploidentical Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation and Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease, sponsored by The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 70 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-11-09.
Sponsored by The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University · Phase 2, Interventional, and Prevention
This is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, single-arm exploratory study. Thirty adult patients with hematologic malignancies who are scheduled to receive haploidentical peripheral blood stem-cell transplantation with myeloablative conditioning will be enrolled.
All participants will receive standard anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG, total 7.5 mg/kg), standard graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) prophylaxis (calcineurin inhibitor + mycophenolate mofetil + short-course methotrexate), plus lanoracopan 200 mg twice daily from day +1 to day +90 after stem-cell infusion. Lanoracopan is an approved complement alternative-pathway inhibitor being used off-label for GVHD prevention in this trial. Mandatory antibiotic prophylaxis against encapsulated bacterial pathogens will be given.
The primary goal is to evaluate the safety of lanoracopan in this transplant setting, including adverse events / serious adverse events, neutrophil and platelet engraftment, graft-failure rate, and infectious complications. The key secondary objective is to explore the cumulative incidence of grade II-IV acute GVHD at day 100 post-transplant. Additional secondary outcomes include chronic GVHD, TA-TMA, 1-year overall survival, disease-free survival, cumulative incidence of relapse, and non-relapse mortality. Exploratory biomarker assessments will be performed on plasma and serum samples.
Participants will be followed for 1 year after transplantation. No control group is included in this exploratory study.

Exclusion Criteria:
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.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
Stem cell (bone marrow) transplants. Allogeneic uses cells from a donor; autologous uses your own cells, collected earlier and given back.
A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.
Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.
The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.
Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.
Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.
Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.
How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.
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.

Plan to share: No — Individual participant-level data (IPD) will not be shared with external researchers. This is a single-arm exploratory study sponsored by a hospital. Aggregated study results will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at academic conferences, but raw individual-level participant data cannot be released due to participant privacy protection and institutional data management requirements.
