Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. 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.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Cumulative Incidence Percentage of Grade B to D aGvHD by Day +180 Post-HSCT [HSCT Day (Day +0 post-HSCT) through Day +180 post-HSCT]

    Cumulative Incidence Percentage of Grade B to D aGvHD was defined using the 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.

  2. Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Grade B to D aGvHD-free Survival by Days +100 and +180 Post-HSCT [HSCT Day (Day +0 post-HSCT) through Days +100 and +180 post-HSCT]

    Grade B to D aGvHD was defined using the 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.

  3. Cumulative Incidence Percentage of Grade C to D aGvHD by Days +100 and +180 Post-HSCT [HSCT Day (Day +0 post-HSCT) through Days +100 and +180 post-HSCT]

    Cumulative Incidence Percentage of Grade C to D aGvHD was defined using the IBMTR Severity Index. 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.

  4. Cumulative Incidence Percentage of Disease Relapse by Days +100 and +180 Post-HSCT [HSCT Day (Day +0 post-HSCT) through Days +100 and +180 post-HSCT]

    Disease relapse was defined by either morphological evidence of acute leukemia or Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) consistent with pre-transplant features, documented or not by biopsy. The event was defined as an increase in size of prior sites of disease or evidence of new sites of disease, documented or not by biopsy. Disease relapse was diagnosed when there was morphological or clinical evidence of the following: reappearance of leukemia blast cells in the peripheral blood, or >5% blasts in the bone marrow (BM), not attributable to another cause (eg, BM regeneration), or the appearance of previous or new dysplastic changes (MDS specific) within the BM, with or without falling donor chimerism, or the development of extramedullary leukemia or leukemic cells in the cerebral spinal fluid, or institution of therapy to treat relapsed disease, including donor lymphocyte infusion.

  5. Cumulative Incidence Percentage of Systemic Steroids for the Treatment of aGvHD +180 Days Post-HSCT [HSCT Day (Day +0 post-HSCT) through Day +180 post-HSCT]

    For each treatment arm, the cumulative incidence rate of systemic steroid use for the treatment of aGvHD by Day +180 post-HSCT will be estimated using the cumulative incidence competing risk estimator. The calculation of the cumulative incidence rates and the stratified Gray's test was carried out using the LIFETEST procedure in SAS version 9.4. If the participant experienced a competing risk event, then the initiation date was used to calculate the time-to-event variable.

Title Change From Baseline to Day +180 Post-HSCT in 5-Level European Quality of Life (EQ-5D-5L) Mobility Dimension for Participants With Age >=16 Years
Description The EQ-5D-5L is a standardized instrument for use as a measure of health outcome that includes a descriptive system consisting of 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression). For each of the 5 dimensions based on the descriptive system of the EQ-5D-5L, the numbers of participants for all categories (the 5 levels of reported problems) were assessed. For Day +180 Post-HSCT change between baseline in each dimension will be categorized as follows for a specific participant: Condition improved, if the reported level of problem is lower at that assessment than at baseline; Condition unchanged, if the reported level of problem remains the same; Condition deteriorated, if the reported level of problem is higher at that assessment than at baseline; Unknown, if the reported level of problem is not completed or missing either at baseline or at that assessment.
