Trial Outcomes & Findings for PROACTIVE: Preventing Acute/Chronic GVHD With TocIlizumab Combined With GVHD Prophylaxis Post allogEneic Transplant (NCT NCT03699631)

NCT ID: NCT03699631

Last Updated: 2023-04-19

Results Overview

GRFS is defined as survival without grade III-IV acute graft versus host disease (GVHD), systemic therapy requiring chronic GVHD, relapse, or death at 12 months after matched related/unrelated donor bone marrow or peripheral blood allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) using myeloablative conditioning (MAC). Patients who are alive without GVHD will be censored at the last follow-up.

Measure
Tacrolimus/Methotrexate/Tocilizumab
Patients enrolled on the clinical trial will receive tacrolimus initiating at Day -1 at doses to maintain therapeutic levels per institutional preference and continued until at least Day +90 post-transplant. Methotrexate will be administered intravenously and dosed at 15 mg/m2 Day +1 and 10 mg/m2 Days +3, +6 and +11. Tocilizumab will be administered intravenously at a dose of 8 mg/kg on Day -1 and at day +100 (+/- 14 days). Tacrolimus: Tacrolimus will be given intravenously at a dose of 0.03 mg/kg/day starting Day -3. Subsequent dosing will be based on blood levels. Methotrexate: Methotrexate will be administered at the doses of 15 mg/m2 IV bolus on Day +1, and 10 mg/m2 IV bolus on Days +3, +6 and +11 after hematopoietic cell infusion. Tocilizumab: Tocilizumab will be administered intravenously (IV) at a dose of 8 mg/kg (maximum dose of 800 mg) once on the Day -1 approximately 24 hours prior to the estimated time of the hematopoietic cell infusion, and subsequently, on Day +100 (+/- 14 days, i.e., Days +86 to +114) post-allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. The infusion will be administered over 60 minutes through a dedicated IV line and must not be administered by IV bolus.
