An open-label, Phase II trial designed to assess the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of itacitinib in combination ECP and efficacy of the combination after 24 weeks of therapy. The trial will consist of two parts: Part One will assess the RP2D. For dose-finding purposes, the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) evaluation period will be defined as the time from the first dose of itacitinib lead-in (7-day lead-in) to the last day of cycle one combination therapy (Cycle one day 28). Part Two will further describe and characterize the safety and efficacy of the regimen. The RP2D will be determined by a 3+3 dose de-escalation design. Should dose level one be deemed intolerable, enrollment will proceed at dose level -1. The RP2D will be affirmed according to the rules of the 3+3 dose de-escalation scheme. Once an RP2D has been confirmed, Part 2 will open as an expansion cohort. As this study was terminated after enrolling three patients out of an anticipated target accrual of 58, Part Two of this study did not occur.

Participants with negative HBsAg and positive total hepatitis B core antigen (HBc) antibody may be included if HBV DNA is undetectable at the time of screening. Participants who are positive for HCV antibodies are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is negative for HCV RNA. Participants whose immune status is unknown or uncertain must have results confirming immune status before enrollment. Serology results performed less than or equal to 6 months prior to the first planned dose of itacitinib are acceptable for determining eligibility. - Known prior severe hypersensitivity to investigational product or any component in its formulations, including known severe hypersensitivity reactions to monoclonal antibodies (NCI CTCAE v5.0 Grade = 3). - Any condition that would, in the investigator's judgment, interfere with full participation in the study, including administration of study drug/treatment and attending required study visits; pose a significant risk to the participant; or interfere with the interpretation of study data. - Unable to understand the purpose and risks of the study and to provide a signed and dated informed consent form (ICF) and authorization to use protected health information (in accordance with national and local subject privacy regulations) per the investigator's assessment. |

Primary | Count of Participants With a Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT) During the DLT Evaluation Period. | Adverse events were assessed at each study visit from the first dose of itacitinib during the lead-in period (lead-in period = 5-10 days) until the last day of cycle one (each cycle = 28 days) of combination treatment with itacitinib and Extracorporeal Photopheresis (ECP). A DLT was defined as an Adverse Event (AE) that was 1) attributed as possibly, probably, or definitely related to itacitinib or to the combination of itacitinib and ECP, and 2) graded as "severe" or "life threatening" (grade 3 or 4) according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5. | up to 38 days | |
Primary | Count of Participants With a Response to Treatment at 24 Weeks of Treatment | Participants were assessed for chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) severity per the NIH Consensus Development Project Criteria at baseline and after 24 weeks of treatment. The criteria evaluates 9 organ systems, and then defines a partial response (PR) as at least one organ system with improvement since baseline and no worsening in other organs. Complete response (CR) is defined as an improvement in all affected organ systems to having no GVHD symptoms in any organ system. All responses must occur without any secondary systemic immunosuppressive therapy, and no malignancy recurrence or death. Participants with a PR or CR are counted as a response for this outcome. | 24 weeks | |
Secondary | Count of Participants Who Experience Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) During Study Treatment | Adverse events were assessed at each study visit per CTCAE v5 criteria. This objective counts the number of participants who experienced 1) any adverse event of any severity, or 2) any serious adverse event that was possibly, probably, or definitely related to itacitinib or to combination treatment with itacitinib and ECP. | during study treatment - up to 1 year | |
Secondary | Count of Participants With a Response to Treatment After One Year of Treatment | Participants were assessed for chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) severity per the NIH Consensus Development Project Criteria at baseline and after one year of treatment. The criteria evaluates 9 organ systems, and then defines a partial response (PR) as at least one organ system with improvement since baseline and no worsening in other organs. Complete response (CR) is defined as an improvement in all affected organ systems to having no GVHD symptoms in any organ system. All responses must occur without any secondary systemic immunosuppressive therapy, and no malignancy recurrence or death. Participants with a PR or CR are counted as a response for this outcome. | 1 year | |
Secondary | Count of Participants With Failure Free Survival (FFS) at 24 Weeks and 1 Year | Failure Free Survival (FFS) is defined as the number of participants at 24 weeks and at 1 year who have not experienced treatment failure. Treatment failure is defined as the initiation of secondary therapy for chronic GVHD, malignancy relapse, or death from any cause. | 24 weeks and 1 year | |
Secondary | Count of Participants Who Have Withdrawn All Immunosuppressants at 1 Year | Immunosuppressive therapy is common for participants with GVHD. This objective counts the number of participants who were able to discontinue all immunosuppressants by 1 year of treatment and follow-up. | 1 year | |
Secondary | Count of Participants With a Response to Treatment at 24 Weeks of Treatment Stratified by Concurrent Prednisone Use | Participants were assessed for chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) severity per the NIH Consensus Development Project Criteria at baseline and after 24 weeks of treatment. The criteria evaluates 9 organ systems, and then defines a partial response (PR) as at least one organ system with improvement since baseline and no worsening in other organs. Complete response (CR) is defined as an improvement in all affected organ systems to having no GVHD symptoms in any organ system. All responses must occur without any secondary systemic immunosuppressive therapy, and no malignancy recurrence or death. Participants with a PR or CR are counted as a response for this outcome. Participants were also evaluated for the amount of prednisone (or other steroids converted by prednisone equivalence) they were using at the time of the response. This outcome is the same as outcome # 2, but has been stratified by prednisone use. | 24 weeks | |
Secondary | Mean Cumulative Prednisone Used up to 24 Weeks | This outcome assessed the cumulative amount of prednisone (or other steroids converted to prednisone equivalence) used by participants up to 24 weeks of treatment. | 24 weeks | |
Secondary | Count of Participants With Organ-specific Responses at 24 Weeks | Participants were assessed for chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) severity per the NIH Consensus Development Project Criteria at baseline and after 24 weeks of treatment. The criteria evaluate 9 organ systems, and for each organ, defines changes in symptoms to qualify as a partial response (PR), complete response (CR), or progressive disease (PD) in that organ. In general, PR in an organ indicates partial improvement after prior involvement of that organ. CR indicates improvement to no symptoms after prior involvement. PD indicates worsening of symptoms in the organ system. Lack of response indicates that the organ system was involved at both baseline and 24 weeks, but did not improve or deteriorate sufficiently to qualify for PR, CR, or PD. No involvement/Not evaluable indicates that the organ system never had any GVHD symptoms or was not able to be evaluated. | 24 weeks | |
Secondary | Count of Participants With Organ-specific Responses at 1 Year | Participants were assessed for chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) severity per the NIH Consensus Development Project Criteria at baseline and after 1 year of treatment. The criteria evaluate 9 organ systems, and for each organ, defines changes in symptoms to qualify as a partial response (PR), complete response (CR), or progressive disease (PD) in that organ. In general, PR in an organ indicates partial improvement after prior involvement of that organ. CR indicates improvement to no symptoms after prior involvement. PD indicates worsening of symptoms in the organ system. Lack of response indicates that the organ system was involved at both baseline and 24 weeks, but did not improve or deteriorate sufficiently to qualify for PR, CR, or PD. No involvement indicates that the organ system never had any GVHD symptoms. | 1 year | |
Secondary | Mean NIH Global GVHD Score at 24 Weeks | Participants were assessed for chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) severity per the NIH Consensus Development Project Criteria at baseline and after 24 weeks of treatment. One data point in the criteria is an overall global rating of the participant's GVHD, ranging from 0 (no GVHD) to 3 (severe GVHD). The baseline global score is reported in the baseline characteristics. | 24 weeks | |
Secondary | Duration of Response (DOR) | DOR was measured as the interval between the date of initial documentation of a response (PR or better), and the date of progression, start of a new therapy for chronic GVHD (cGVHD) (including corticosteroids), or death from any cause. | up to 1 year | |
Secondary | Mean Clinician-evaluated GVHD Severity Score at 24 Weeks and 1 Year | Participants were assessed for chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) severity per the NIH Consensus Development Project Criteria at baseline, after 24 weeks of treatment, and after one year of treatment. One data point in the criteria is a general rating the severity of the participant's GVHD symptoms, ranging from 0 (GVHD symptoms not at all severe) to 10 (most severe GVHD symptoms possible). The baseline severity score is reported in the baseline characteristics. | at 24 weeks and 1 year | |
Secondary | Mean Participant-reported cGVHD Symptom Severity Score at 24 Weeks and at 1 Year | Participants were asked to rate their own symptoms for chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD) severity per the NIH Consensus Development Project Criteria at baseline, after 24 weeks of treatment, and after one year of treatment. One data point in is a general rating of the severity of the participant's GVHD symptoms, ranging from 0 (GVHD symptoms not at all severe) to 10 (most severe GVHD symptoms possible). The baseline severity score is reported in the baseline characteristics. | 24 weeks and 1 year | |
Secondary | Count of Participants With Non-relapse Mortality (NRM) | NRM is defined as death due to causes other than a relapse of their primary hematologic disease. This outcome reports the number of participants who were deceased at 24 weeks and at 1 year after the start of treatment whose death meets the definition of NRM. | 24 weeks and 1 year | |
