Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Efficacy will be determined by the proportion of patients with failure free survival (FFS) at 6 months.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Patients achieving a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) at 6 months based on clinician judged response.
II. Patients achieving a CR or PR by objective response measures at 6 months.
III. Failure-free survival (FFS) at 1 year.
IV. Change in steroid dose from enrollment to 6 months (mo).
TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Biologic studies will be done to determine possible mechanisms of response.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive tocilizumab intravenously (IV) over 1 hour every 2 weeks for 12 weeks (weeks 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11) and then every 4 weeks for 12 weeks (weeks 13, 17, and 21).
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 3 and 6 months.

- Active cGVHD despite treatment with at least two immunosuppressive treatments (not including GVHD prophylaxis) in the past year
- Subject underwent allogeneic stem cell transplantation at least 6 months prior to enrollment
- Subject has not started any new systemic immunosuppressive therapies within 2 weeks prior to enrollment
- Female subjects of child bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test prior to first dose of tocilizumab and must agree to practice effective contraception during the study
- Subject meets the following medication restriction requirements and agrees to follow medication restrictions during the study; the following concomitant medications are not allowed: cyclophosphamide, abatacept, etanercept, adalimumab infliximab, golimumab, tofacitinib, and alemtuzumab; these medications also cannot have been used for 5 half-lives prior to enrollment
- Subject agrees to comply with the study requirements and agrees to come to the clinic for required study visits
Exclusion Criteria:
- Donor lymphocyte infusion in the preceding 100 days
- Subject has bronchiolitis obliterans, bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia or cryptogenic organizing pneumonia as the sole manifestation of cGVHD
- Uncontrolled bacterial, viral infection or invasive fungal infection
- Evidence of malignancy within 6 months of study enrollment; this is defined as clear morphologic, radiologic or molecular evidence of disease; mixed chimerism is allowed at the discretion of the clinician
- Treatment with any non-Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved agent within 4 weeks (or 5 half-lives of the investigational drug, whichever is longer) of study enrollment
