7. Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.
8. Capable of giving signed informed consent which includes compliance with the study requirements and restrictions.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

1. Has acute GVHD without manifestations of cGVHD.
2. Any evidence (histologic, cytogenetic, molecular, hematologic, or mixed) of relapse of the underlying cancer or post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease at the time of screening.
3. History or other evidence of severe illness, uncontrolled infection or any other conditions that would make the participant, in the opinion of the Investigator, unsuitable for the study.
4. Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or active hepatitis C virus (HCV) or hepatitis B virus (HBV).
5. Diagnosed with another malignancy (other than malignancy for which transplant was performed) within 3 years of enrollment, unless previously treated with curative intent and must be approved by Sponsor medical monitor (for example, completely resected basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, resected in situ cervical malignancy, resected breast ductal carcinoma in situ, or low-risk prostate cancer after curative resection).
6. Female participants who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
7. Previous exposure to study intervention or known allergy/sensitivity to study intervention.
8. Taking agents other than a corticosteroid and one calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) for treatment of cGVHD (This does not include agents being prescribed expressly for the treatment of acute GVHD).
9. Receiving an investigational treatment within 28 days of study entry.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Cohorts of escalating dose levels of SNDX-6352; Escalating dose levels of SNDX-6352 to establish the optimal biologic dose (OBD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). Intravenous (IV) infusion; SNDX-6352 at a dose of 0.15 milligrams (mg)/kilogram (kg) to 3 mg/kg.	Drug: SNDX-6352; SNDX-6352 is a high affinity antibody targeting the colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF-1R). CSF-1R signaling has been demonstrated in nonclinical studies to be the key regulatory pathway involved in the expansion and infiltration of donor derived macrophages that mediate the disease processes involved in cGVHD.; Other Names: axatilimab
Experimental: Phase 2 Dose Expansion; Phase 2, dose expansion, is an open-label design, evaluating the 1 mg/kg dose in a larger sample size. IV infusion; SNDX-6352 at a dose of 1 mg/kg.	Drug: SNDX-6352; SNDX-6352 is a high affinity antibody targeting the colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF-1R). CSF-1R signaling has been demonstrated in nonclinical studies to be the key regulatory pathway involved in the expansion and infiltration of donor derived macrophages that mediate the disease processes involved in cGVHD.; Other Names: axatilimab
