Study of orBec® as Monotherapy in the Treatment of Patients With Upper GI Symptoms Caused by Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD)

October 3, 2018 updated by: Soligenix

A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Study of the Safety and Efficacy of orBec® (Oral Beclomethasone 17,21-Dipropionate) Administered as Monotherapy in the Treatment of Upper Gastrointestinal (GI) Symptoms Caused by GVHD in Patients With Chronic GI GVHD

Use of an oral topically-active glucocorticoid with limited side effects may control the gastrointestinal inflammatory process of GVHD and minimize glucocorticoid exposure.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Gastrointestinal (GI) Graft-vs-Host Disease (GVHD) Symptoms
Time Frame: 16 weeks

Patients who achieved a Complete Response (CR) of their GI GVHD Symptoms during the Part 1, 16 week treatment period and who remained a CR at the end of the 16 week treatment period were to be eligible to continue into Part 2 of the study. All others were to discontinue.

GI GVHD was assessed using a composite score based on the symptoms of satiety, nausea/vomiting, and anorexia. Each symptom was scored on a scale of 0-3, such that the minimum score = 0 and the maximum score = 9. At entry, all subjects must have a score of ≥ 3. A CR will be defined as a composite score of 0.
