Best Overall Response Rate Primary · Up to 24 weeks

Best overall response rate by 24 weeks was defined as the proportion of participants who achieved a complete or partial overall response as assessed by the NIH cGVHD Activity Assessment (NCAA) within 24 weeks, in the setting of add-on therapy to systemic corticosteroids as part of first-line therapy for cGVHD.

Change From Baseline in the Skin Domain of the Lee Symptom Scale (LSS) at 24 Weeks Secondary · Baseline; Week 24

The LSS is a patient-reported questionnaire used to measure symptom burden. Each of the LSS subscales ranged between 0 and 100, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms. A decrease from baseline value correlates with improvement in clinical outcome.

The LSS is a patient-reported questionnaire used to measure symptom burden. Each of the LSS subscales ranged between 0 and 100, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms. The total score was calculated by taking the average of the subscale scores. A decrease from baseline value correlates with improvement in clinical outcome.

Duration of Response Secondary · Up to 48 weeks

Duration of response was defined as the time from the documentation of best overall response rate to the documentation of progressive disease. Note that flare was not considered as progressive disease in this analysis.

Percentage of Participants Who Achieve at Least 50% Reduction in Systemic Corticosteroid Dose Relative to Baseline Secondary · Baseline; Up to 48 weeks

Percentage of Participants Who Initiate Second-Line Therapy for cGVHD Secondary · Up to 48 weeks
