Trial Information

A Phase I/II, Open-Label, Dose-Escalation, Pilot Study to Evaluate Safety and Preliminary Efficacy of Visilizumab as Primary Therapy for Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease After Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation


A Phase I/II, open-label, dose-escalation pilot study designed to obtain preliminary safety,
pharmacokinetic (PK) and efficacy information on visilizumab administered as a first-line
therapy to patients with acute, Grade II, III, or IV graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). It is
anticipated that up to 34 patients at up to 10 study centers could be eligible for
enrollment in this study. Patients will be eligible for enrollment within 24 hours of
beginning standard steroid treatment (2 mg/kg of methylprednisolone IV, or 10 mg/kg
hydrocortisone IV, per day). Steroids will be rapidly tapered over one week following
visilizumab administration.

Inclusion Criteria


- Patients who develop Grade II, III, or IV acute GVHD following allogeneic
hematopoietic cell transplantation

- Patients receiving GVHD prophylaxis including cyclosporine or tacrolimus

- Clinical findings: skin thickening, joint contraction, oral ulceration, diarrhea.

- Patients with an onset date of acute GVHD that is less than or equal to 100 days
posttransplant.
