A single-center, Phase 1, open-label, investigator-initiated clinical trial evaluating the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of sarilumab (anti-IL-6R) monotherapy as a rescue in adult patients with belumosudil-refractory chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD).

Belumosudil (2-(3-(4-(1H-indazol-5-ylamino) quinazolin-2-yl) phenoxy)-N-isopropylacetamide-methane sulfonic acid salt), formerly also known as KD025, is an orally available Rho-associated protein kinase-2 (ROCK2) selective inhibitor. Belumosudil will be provided as 200 mg tablets.
Sarilumab is an interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor antagonist FDA approved for treatment of: * Adult patients with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have had an inadequate response or intolerance to one or more disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). * Adult patients with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) who have had an inadequate response to corticosteroids or who cannot tolerate corticosteroid taper. Sarilumab will be provided as single-use 1.14 ml prefilled glass syringes containing 131.6 mg/mL (150 mg), 175 mg/mL (200 mg) of sarilumab
Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of sarilumab monotherapy for the treatment of cGVHD after inadequate response to Belumosudil.
Time frame: From first dose through 6 months after treatment initiation
Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Sarilumab
Maximum observed plasma concentration of sarilumab following administration.
Time frame: Baseline through 6 months
Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Sarilumab
Time required to reach maximum plasma concentration following sarilumab administration.
Time frame: Baseline through 6 months
Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) of Sarilumab
Area under the plasma concentration-time curve used to characterize sarilumab exposure.
Time frame: Baseline through 6 months
Incidence of serious infections
To evaluate the incidence of serious infections associated with sarilumab monotherapy as a rescue in subjects with belumosudil refractory cGVHD.
Time frame: From first dose through 6 months
Overall response rate
To evaluate preliminary efficacy of sarilumab monotherapy as a rescue in subjects with cGVHD after inadequate response to belumosudil
Time frame: Up to 6 months
