What this trial tests
Phase 2 trial testing ENTO in Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease in 66 participants. Terminated before completion.
Adults 18 to 75, any sex, with Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease. Patients with the condition only — healthy volunteers not accepted.

Best Overall Response RatePrimary· 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 WeeksSecondary· 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.

Change From Baseline in the Total Score of the LSS at 24 WeeksSecondary· 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. The total score was calculated by taking the average of the subscale scores. A decrease from baseline value correlates with improvement in clinical outcome.

Adverse events — posted to ClinicalTrials.gov
Time frame: Baseline up to the last dose date plus 30 days (average exposure: ENTO = 18 weeks; Placebo = 17 weeks).
Reporting threshold: 5%.
Adverse-event reports describe events observed during the trial — not all are caused by the drug.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of entospletinib (ENTO) on the best overall response rate in adults with chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD) who are currently receiving systemic corticosteroids as part of first-line therapy for cGVHD.
