This was a Phase 2A open-label, non-randomized study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK/PD, and efficacy of ALXN1007 (a C5a inhibitor) in up to 36 participants with newly diagnosed acute GVHD of the lower GI tract. All participants meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria for the study were to receive ALXN1007 over an 8 week treatment period. Participants in Cohort 1, the first dosing cohort, were to receive 10 milligrams/kilogram (mg/kg) ALXN1007 administered IV once weekly for 8 weeks. Participants in Cohort 2 were to receive 20 mg/kg ALXN1007 IV once weekly for 8 weeks. Participants in Cohort 3 were to receive 20 mg/kg ALXN1007 IV twice weekly for 8 weeks. All doses of ALXN1007 were to be administered as a continuous IV infusion.
The objectives of this trial were to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) and efficacy of intravenous (IV) ALXN1007 in participants with acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) of the lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
