Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Veno-occlusive Disease (VOD)-Free Survival by Day +30 Post-Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT) Per the Independent Endpoint Adjudication Committee (EPAC)
Day +30 Post-HSCT

VOD-free survival is a composite of survival status and VOD occurrence as determined by modified Seattle criteria adjudicated by a blinded independent EPAC. An event is defined as a VOD diagnosis (as assessed by the EPAC) or death, whichever, is earlier, up to and including Day +30 post-HSCT. The values reported below are participants who did not experience VOD or death by Day +30 post-HSCT.

Survival by Day+100 Post Stem Cell Transplant or Chemotherapy
Day +100 from HSCT or 100 days from start of chemotherapy
Survival at Day+100 Following Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant
Day+100 post hematopoietic stem cell transplant

The 95.1% CI instead of 95% CI is used for the final analysis to provide a small adjustment for the fact that an interim analysis was performed.

Complete Response by Day+100 Post Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant
Day+100 post hematopoietic stem cell transplant

The 95.1% CI instead of 95% CI is used for the final analysis to provide a small adjustment for the fact that an interim analysis was performed.

Complete Response Rate as measured by a total bilirubin of < 2 mg/dL and resolution of multi-organ failure attributable to veno-occlusive disease (VOD)
60 Days
Cumulative Incidence Percentage of Grade B to D Acute Graft Versus Host Disease (aGvHD) by Day +100 Post-Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT)
HSCT Day (Day +0 post-HSCT) through Day +100 post-HSCT

Cumulative Incidence Percentage of Grade B to D aGvHD was defined using the International Bone Marrow Transplant Registry (IBMTR) Severity Index. Grade B is defined as Skin stage = 2 or Liver stage = 1 to 2 or GI stage = 1 to 2. Grade C is defined as Skin stage = 3 or Liver stage = 3 or GI stage = 3. Grade D is defined as a Skin stage = 4 or Liver stage = 4 or GI stage = 4.

Number of Major Hemorrhagic Complications Within 14 Days of Initiation of Treatment
14 days

Major hemorrhagic complications will be based on the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis Bleeding scale. 1. Fatal Bleeding, and/or 2. Symptomatic bleeding in a critical area or organ, such as intracranial, intraspinal, intraocular, retroperitoneal, intra-articular, pericardial, or intramuscular with compartment syndrome, and/or 3. Bleeding associated with a decline in hemoglobin level of \> 2.0 g/dl, leading to transfusion of two or more units of whole blood or red cells. 4. In addition, symptomatic alveolar hemorrhage, macroscopic hematuria, uncontrolled menorrhagia or epistaxis or bleeding from any wound site would also be considered a major hemorrhagic event.

Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
DefibrotideEXPERIMENTALDefibrotide is administered intravenously at a dose of 25 mg/kg/day in addition to best supportive care on the day before the first day of the conditioning regimen and will continue (for those patients without a VOD diagnosis) for a recommended minimum of 21 days and end no later than Day +30 post HSCT
Best Supportive CareOTHERBest supportive care alone (without the addition of defibrotide) according to institutional guidelines and patient need, is administered on the first day of conditioning and will continue until Day +30 post HSCT or hospital discharge, whichever is sooner, or diagnosis of VOD, if applicable
Historical ControlNO_INTERVENTIONHistorical control group
Arm A Lower doseEXPERIMENTALThis is a randomized, multicenter study. All patients initially receive the same dose of defibrotide IV over 2 hours every 6 hours on day 1. On day 2, patients are randomized to 1 of 2 doses of defibrotide. \- Arm I: On days 2-14, patients receive a lower dose of defibrotide IV over 2 hours every 6 hours. In both arms, courses repeat every 14 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Arm B Higher DoseEXPERIMENTALThis is a randomized, multicenter study. All patients initially receive the same dose of defibrotide IV over 2 hours every 6 hours on day 1. On day 2, patients are randomized to 1 of 2 doses of defibrotide. \- Arm II: On days 2-14, patients receive a higher dose of defibrotide IV over 2 hours every 6 hours. In both arms, courses repeat every 14 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
