- Disease persistence without improvement despite continued treatment with prednisone at > 0.5 mg/kg/day or 1 mg/kg/every other day for at least 4 weeks, OR
- Increase to prednisolone dose to > 0.25 mg/kg/day after 2 unsuccessful attempts to taper the dose
- Participant must accept to be treated with only one of the following BAT options on Cycle 1 Day 1 (additions and changes are allowed during the course of the study, but only with BAT from the following BAT options): extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP), low-dose methotrexate (MTX), mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), mTOR inhibitors (everolimus or sirolimus), infliximab, rituximab, pentostatin, imatinib, ibrutinib
Exclusion Criteria:
- Participants who have received 2 or more systemic treatment for cGvHD in addition to corticosteroids ± CNI for cGvHD
Patients that transition from active aGvHD to cGvHD without tapering off corticosteroids ± CNI and any systemic treatment
* Patients receiving up to 30 mg by mouth once a day of hydrocortisone (i.e., physiologic replacement dose) of corticosteroids are allowed.
- Participants who were treated with prior JAK inhibitors for aGvHD; except when the participant achieved complete or partial response and has been off JAK inhibitor treatment for at least 8 weeks prior to Cycle 1 Day 1
- Failed prior alloSCT within the past 6 months from Cycle 1 Day 1
- Participants with relapsed primary malignancy, or who have been treated for relapse after the alloSCT was performed
- Steroid refractory cGvHD occurring after a non-scheduled donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) administered for preemptive treatment of malignancy recurrence. Participants who have received a scheduled DLI as part of their transplant procedure and not for management of malignancy relapse are eligible
- Any corticosteroid therapy for indications other than cGvHD at doses > 1 mg/kg/day methylprednisolone or equivalent within 7 days of Cycle 1 Day 1

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Ruxolitinib
Ruxolitinib for the treatment period and extension period.
|
Ruxolitinib twice daily at the protocol-defined starting dose.
Other Names:
|
Active Comparator: Best Available Therapy
Best available therapy for the treatment period and extension period, with optional crossover to ruxolitinib after Cycle 6.
|
Best available therapy (BAT) will be selected by the investigator for each participant.
BAT may not include experimental agents (ie, those not approved for the treatment of any indication) as well as a limited number of other selected drugs in accordance with the protocol-defined requirements.
The BAT in this study will be among the following treatments currently used in this setting (no other types or combinations of BATs are permitted in this study).
Patients will receive BAT based on the Investigator's opinion, taking into account the manufacturer's instructions, labeling, subject's medical condition, and institutional guidelines for any dose adjustment.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Efficacy of Ruxolitinib Versus Investigator's Choice Best Available Therapy (BAT) in Participants With Moderate or Severe Steroid Refractory Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease (SR-cGvHD) Assessed by Overall Response Rate (ORR) at the Cycle 7 Day 1 Visit
Time Frame: Cycle 7 Day 1 (each cycle was comprised of 4 weeks)
|
ORR was defined as the percentage of participants in each arm demonstrating a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on chronic GvHD (cGvHD) disease assessments (National Institutes of Health Consensus Criteria) without the requirement of additional systemic therapies for an earlier progression, mixed response, or non-response.
Scoring of response was relative to the organ score at the time of randomization.
CR: complete resolution of all signs and symptoms of cGVHD in all evaluable organs without the initiation or addition of new systemic therapy.
PR: improvement in at least one organ (e.g., improvement of 1 or more points on a 4- to 7-point scale, or an improvement of 2 or more points on a 10- to 12-point scale) without progression in other organs or sites, initiation, or addition of new systemic therapies.
|
Cycle 7 Day 1 (each cycle was comprised of 4 weeks)
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Rate of Participants With Clinically Relevant Improvement of the Modified Lee cGvHD Symptom Scale Score
Time Frame: Baseline; Cycle 7 Day 1 (each cycle was comprised of 4 weeks)
|
To assess improvement of symptoms based on the total symptom score (TSS); a responder was defined as having achieved a clinically relevant reduction from Baseline of the TSS.
The scale consists of 30 items in 7 subscales (skin, eye, mouth, lung, nutrition, energy, and psychological).
Participants reported their level of symptom "bother" over the previous month on a 5-point likert scale: not at all, slightly, moderately, quite a bit, or extremely.
Subscale scores and the summary score range from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating worse symptoms.
|
Baseline; Cycle 7 Day 1 (each cycle was comprised of 4 weeks)
|
Rate of Failure-free Survival (FFS)
Time Frame: Baseline to when the last participant reached Cycle 7 Day 1 (each cycle was comprised of 4 weeks)
|
Composite time to event endpoint incorporating the following FFS events: (i) relapse or recurrence of underlying disease or death due to underlying disease, (ii) nonrelapse mortality, or (iii) addition or initiation of another systemic therapy for cGvHD.
|
Baseline to when the last participant reached Cycle 7 Day 1 (each cycle was comprised of 4 weeks)
|
Rate of FFS at Study Completion
Time Frame: From Baseline to Last Participant Last Visit (LPLV) (approximately 5 years)
|
Composite time to event endpoint incorporating the following FFS events: (i) relapse or recurrence of underlying disease or death due to underlying disease, (ii) nonrelapse mortality, or (iii) addition or initiation of another systemic therapy for cGvHD.

BOR was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved an overall response (CR+PR) based on cGvHD disease assessments (National Institutes of Health Consensus Criteria) without the requirement of additional systemic therapies for an earlier progression, mixed response, or non-response at any time point (up to Cycle 7 Day 1 or the start of additional systemic therapy for cGvHD).
Scoring of response was relative to the organ score at the time of randomization.
CR: complete resolution of all signs and symptoms of cGVHD in all evaluable organs without the initiation or addition of new systemic therapy.
PR: improvement in at least one organ (e.g., improvement of 1 or more points on a 4- to 7-point scale, or an improvement of 2 or more points on a 10- to 12-point scale) without progression in other organs or sites, initiation, or addition of new systemic therapies.
This analysis was based on the primary cutoff date (May 2020).
|
up to Cycle 7 Day 1 (each cycle was comprised of 4 weeks)
|

Scoring of response was relative to the organ score at the time of randomization.
CR: complete resolution of all signs and symptoms of cGVHD in all evaluable organs without the initiation or addition of new systemic therapy.
PR: improvement in at least one organ (e.g., improvement of 1 or more points on a 4- to 7-point scale, or an improvement of 2 or more points on a 10- to 12-point scale) without progression in other organs or sites, initiation, or addition of new systemic therapies.

Scoring of response was relative to the organ score at the time of randomization.
CR: complete resolution of all signs and symptoms of cGVHD in all evaluable organs without the initiation or addition of new systemic therapy.
PR: improvement in at least one organ (e.g., improvement of 1 or more points on a 4- to 7-point scale, or an improvement of 2 or more points on a 10- to 12-point scale) without progression in other organs or sites, initiation, or addition of new systemic therapies.
|
Cycle 4 Day 1 (each cycle was comprised of 4 weeks)
|
Duration of Response Through Study Completion
Time Frame: from first response to LPLV (approximately 5 years)
|
DOR was defined as the time from first response until cGvHD progression, death, or the date of change/addition of systemic therapies for cGvHD and as assessed for responders only.
Response was based on cGvHD disease assessments (National Institutes of Health consensus criteria).
Duration of response was evaluated in participants who achieved a CR or PR at or before Cycle 7 Day 1.
The analysis included a larger number of participants than the number of participants who achieved CR or PR at Cycle 7 Day 1 (82 ruxolitinib and 42 BAT) because the analysis took into account not only those participants who achieved CR or PR at Cycle 7 Day 1, but also participants who achieved CR or PR before Cycle 7 Day 1 but who may have lost their response at Cycle 7 Day 1.
For this reason, the number of participants in this analysis does not align with the best overall response (BOR) at Cycle 7 Day 1.
This analysis was based on the cutoff date upon study completion (December 2022).
|
from first response to LPLV (approximately 5 years)

Participants who completely tapered off corticosteroids refer to those who permanently discontinued steroids as per the dose administration panel and who did not restart steroids in the same interval.
Participants who were tapered off and continued follow-up were also counted as being tapered off with 0 dose in subsequent intervals until they discontinued from the main treatment period or restarted steroid treatment.
|
up to Day 179

Change From Baseline in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Bone Marrow Transplantation (FACT-BMT)
Time Frame: Baseline; up to Cycle 39 Day 1 (each cycle was comprised of 4 weeks)
|
Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.
The FACT-BMT is a 50-item self-report questionnaire that measures the effect of a therapy on domains including physical, functional, social/family, and emotional well-being, together with additional concerns relevant for bone marrow transplantation participants.
The questions were based on a 5-point Likert scale, where 0 corresponds to "not at all" and 4 corresponds to "very much."
The higher the final score, the better the quality of life.
The FACT-BMT total score ranges from 0 to 148.
