CC-4047 (Pomalidomide) for Graft vs. Host Disease

Graft vs Host Disease Clinical Trial

Official title: A Phase 2, Open-Label, Single-Arm, Pilot Study of Safety and Efficacy of CC-4047 (Pomalidomide) in Patients With Advanced Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease Developing After Allogeneic Hematological Stem Cell Transplantation

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study will test the safety and effectiveness CC-4047 (pomalidomide) in patients with advanced, steroid refractory graft-versus-host disease.

Clinical Trial Description

Chronic Graft vs. Host Disease is a major complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation developing in 30 - 70% of patients. It is a multisystem alloimmune and autoimmune disorder with a negative impact on quality of life and functional status, increased need for extended immunosuppression and is the leading cause of late transplant related mortality.

CC-4047 is a novel immune modulatory drug that is a thalidomide analog with a 4,000 fold greater inhibition of TNF-α production related to thalidomide. Several features of CC-4047 suggest that this drug may be useful in treating chronic GVHD including in vitro suppression of TNF-α production, increasing Th1 and stimulation of IL-12 and sIL-Rα.

This study is an open-label, single-arm, pilot study of efficacy and safety of CC-4047 in patients with advanced chronic GvHD who failed to achieve a response with high-dose corticosteroids or second line systemic immunosuppressive therapy. ;
