Recruiting PHASE2 Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease

Compares treatment options for Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease

Official title A Study of Belumosudil in Children With Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease (schoolROCK)

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07116031

What this study is testing

What is Belumosudil?

Belumosudil is an investigational medicine, given as a pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for chronic graft versus host disease.

Also referred to as SAR445761, REZUROCK.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This is an open-label, single group, Phase 1/2, 1-arm study for treatment of children aged 1 to \<18 years with active moderate-to-severe cGVHD that is refractory to or recurred after at least 2 prior lines of systemic therapy for cGVHD. The purpose of Phase 1 is to determine the PK profiles and to establish the Recommended Pediatric Equivalent Dose (RPED) of belumosudil in participants aged 1 to \<12 years with active moderate to severe cGVHD.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
