Clinical Trial Summary

A single-arm trial using Tocilizumab for acute GVHD prophylaxis after haploidentical HSCT.

Description:

This study will enroll haploidentical HSCT patients with high risk for acute GVHD. Tocilizumab (8mg/kg) will be added to the conventional acute GVHD prophylaxis regime (CsA+Methotrexate(MTX)+low dose mycophenolate mofetil(MMF)+ATG) on day -1 of transplant. The previous patients will be used as control.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Cumulative incidence of grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease	Date of symptom onset, maximum clinical grade, and dates and types of treatment will be recorded. Dates of symptom onset of grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) will be recorded. The aGVHD score of each affected organ will be recorded.	100 days
Primary	Cumulative incidence of non grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease survival	All patients will be tracked from Day 0 to date of grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) onset. Patients who did not present grade II-IV aGVHD or died will be censored at the last date they were assessed and deemed free of grade II-IV aGVHD.	100 days
Secondary	Cumulative incidence of engraftment	All patients will be tracked from Day 0 to date of myeloid and platelet engraftments, respectively.	100 days
Secondary	Cumulative incidence of infections	All patients will be tracked from Day 0 to date of infection diagnosis as proved by relevant standard diagnostic criteria.	2 years
Secondary	Overall survival (OS)	All patients will be tracked from Day 0 to date of first objective disease progression, death from any cause, or last patient evaluation. Patients who have not progressed or died will be censored at the last date they were assessed and deemed free of relapse or progression.	2 years
Secondary	Progression-free survival (PFS)	All patients will be tracked from Day 0 to date of first objective disease progression, death from any cause, or last patient evaluation. Patients who have not progressed or died will be censored at the last date they were assessed and deemed free of relapse or progression.	2 years
Secondary	Cumulative incidence of transplant-related nonrelapse mortality (NRM)	All patients will be tracked from Day 0 to date of first objective disease progression, death from any cause, or last patient evaluation. Patients who have not progressed or died will be censored at the last date they were assessed and deemed free of relapse or progression.	2 years
Secondary	Cumulative incidence of disease relapse or progression	All patients will be tracked from Day 0 to date of first objective disease progression, death from any cause, or last patient evaluation. Patients who have not progressed or died will be censored at the last date they were assessed and deemed free of relapse or progression.	2 years
