Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Proof of Concept Pilot Trial of Alpha-1-Antitrypsin for Pre-Emption Of Steroid-Refractory Acute GVHD (NCT NCT03459040)

NCT ID: NCT03459040

Last Updated: 2021-07-12

Results Overview

Number of High Risk patients who develop steroid refractory GVHD by day 100 post Hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) . Steroid refractory GVHD defined as patients who did not achieve Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) by day 28 of systemic steroid treatment OR if additional immunosuppression beyond steroids was given for treatment of GVHD prior to 28 days of steroid treatment. * CR: All evaluable organs (skin, liver, GI tract) stage 0. For a response to be scored as CR on day 28, the patient must be in CR on that day and have had no intervening additional GVHD therapy. * PR: An improvement in one or more organ involved with GVHD symptoms without worsening in others. For a response to be scored as PR on day 28, the patient must be in PR on that day and have had no intervening additional GVHD therapy.
