Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the response to treatment for extensive chronic Graft versus Host Disease (cGvHD)is improved with the addition of myfortic alongside cyclosporine A and prednisone, compared to the reference treatment of cyclosporine A and prednisone alone.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This clinical trial is a European, multi-center, randomized, double blinded placebo-controlled trial comparing CsA+PDN+MPA versus the reference treatment of CsA+PDN alone + placebo, in patients with extensive chronic GvHD. Randomization will be stratified according to:

* Platelet number (low versus high risk)
* Source of transplantable cells (marrow versus PBSC versus cord blood)

Patients not in progression at 6 weeks post randomization (progression defined as primary failure) will be evaluated for remission (complete or partial) at 3, 6, 9, \& 12 months post randomization

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Age 18 - 60
* Any primary diagnosis requiring treatment by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
* Recipient of a single allogeneic stem cell transplant (bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells, or cord blood) minimum 80 days ago
* Received a graft from a related or an unrelated donor
* Conditioning regimen: Myeloablative or non-myeloablative
* Patients suffering a first episode of extensive chronic GvHD, without recurrent disease
* The diagnosis of chronic GvHD requires the following:

* Distinction from acute GvHD
* Presence of at least one diagnostic clinical sign of chronic GvHD or presence of at least one distinctive sign confirmed by pertinent biopsy or other relevant diagnostic tests
* Exclusion of other possible diagnoses
* Receiving a standard prophylaxis regimen for acute GvHD: CsA plus methotrexate, or CSA+MMF for NMA, or a T-cell depleted transplant
* Patient gives written informed consent prior to randomization

Exclusion Criteria

* Patient age less than 18 years or over 60 years.
* GvHD prophylaxis by tacrolimus plus methotrexate
* Delayed onset acute GvHD following NMA or DLI
* Second allogeneic stem cell transplant
* Not the first episode of chronic GvHD needing systemic immunosuppressive therapy.
* Limited chronic GvHD (Seattle criteria, see Appendix 1)
* Uncontrolled systemic infection which in the opinion of the investigator is associated with an increased risk of the patient's death within 1 week of randomization
* In the opinion of the investigator, if the patient has significant medical or psychosocial problems or unstable disease status
* Pregnant or lactating females
* Known hypersensitivity to mycophenolic acid
