    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Efficacy of Ruxolitinib Versus Investigator's Choice Best Available Therapy (BAT) in Participants With Moderate or Severe SR-cGvHD Assessed by Overall Response Rate (ORR) at the Cycle 7 Day 1 Visit [Cycle 7 Day 1]

      ORR defined as the percentage of participants in each arm demonstrating a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on Chronic GvHD Disease assessments (NIH Consensus Criteria, Lee 2015) without the requirement of additional systemic therapies for an earlier progression, mixed response or non-response. Scoring of response will be relative to the organ score at the time of randomization.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Rate of Participants With Clinically Relevant Improvement of the Modified Lee cGvHD Symptom Scale Score [Cycle 7 Day 1]

      To assess improvement of symptoms based on the total symptom score (TSS); a responder is defined as having achieved a clinically relevant reduction from baseline of the TSS. Scale that consists of 30 items in 7 subscales (skin, eye, mouth, lung, nutrition, energy and psychological). Patients report their level of symptom "bother" over the previous month on a 5-point likert scale: not at all, slightly, moderately, quite a bit, or extremely. Subscale scores and the summary score range from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating worse symptoms.

    2. Rate of Failure-free Survival (FFS) [Baseline to last patient reached Cycle 7 Day 1]

      Composite time to event endpoint incorporating the following FFS events: i) relapse or recurrence of underlying disease or death due to underlying disease, ii) nonrelapse mortality, or iii) addition or initiation of another systemic therapy for chronic GvHD (cGvHD).

    3. Best Overall Response (BOR) [up to Cycle 7 Day 1]

      Defined as percentage of participants who achieved an overall response (CR+PR) based on based on Chronic GvHD Disease assessments (NIH Consensus Criteria, Lee 2015) at any time point (up to Cycle 7 Day 1 or the start of additional systemic therapy for cGvHD.

    4. ORR at End of Cycle 3 [Cycle 4 Day 1]

      ORR defined as the percentage of participants in each arm demonstrating a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on Chronic GvHD Disease assessments (NIH Consensus Criteria, Lee 2015) without the requirement of additional systemic therapies for an earlier progression, mixed response or non-response. Scoring of response will be relative to the organ score at the time of randomization.

    5. Duration of Response [First response to the last patient reached C7D1]

      Assessed for responders only; response based on Chronic GvHD Disease assessments (NIH consensus criteria Lee 2015).

    6. Overall Survival (OS) [From the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause up to approximately 36 months.]

      Defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause.

    7. Cumulative Incidence of Non-relapse Mortality (NRM) [Months 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24]

      Defined as the cumulative incidence rate from competing risk analysis for NRM from date of randomization to date of death not preceded by underlying disease relapse/recurrence.

    8. Percentage of Participants With ≥ 50% Reduction in Daily Corticosteroid Dose at Cycle 7 Day 1 [Cycle 7 Day 1]

      All corticosteroid dosages prescribed to the patient and all dose changes during the study will be recorded for assessment of participants with ≥ 50% reduction in daily corticosteroid dose.

    9. Percentage of Participants Successfully Tapered Off All Corticosteroids at Cycle 7 Day 1 [Cycle 7 Day 1]

      All corticosteroid dosages prescribed to the patient and all dose changes during the study will be recorded for assessment of participants who successfully tapered off all corticosteroids.

    10. Cumulative Incidence of Malignancy Relapse/Recurrence (MR) [At 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months]

      Defined as the cumulative incidence rate from competing risk analysis of MR from date of randomization to hematologic malignancy relapse/recurrence. Calculated for participants with underlying hematologic malignant disease.

    11. Changes in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Bone Marrow Transplantation (FACT-BMT) [Up to Cycle 24 Day 1]

      The mean change from baseline of the FACT-BMT questionnaire. FACTBMT is a 50-item self-report questionnaire that measures the effect of a therapy on domains including physical, functional, social/family, and emotional well-being, together with additional concerns relevant for bone marrow transplantation patients. The questions were based on 5-point Likert scale, where 0 corresponds to 'not at all' and 4 correspond to 'very much'. The higher the final score, the better the quality of life. The FACT-BMT total score range from 0 to 148.

    12. Changes in EQ-5D-5L [Up to Cycle 24 Day 1]

      The EQ-5D-5L: a descriptive classification consisting of five dimensions of health: mobility, self-care, usual activities, anxiety/depression, and pain/discomfort (Brooks 1996). The five-level version (no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems) uses a 5-point likert scale with 1 being no problems and 5 being extreme problems.

    13. Incidence and Severity of Adverse Events [From baseline to 30-35 days after end of treatment, up to approximately 36 months]

      Adverse events include occurrence of any second primary malignancies, infections, physical exam findings, changes in vital signs, routine serum chemistry, hematology results, and coagulation profile.

    Study Results

    Participant Flow

    Recruitment Details The study was conducted at 29 countries globally. During the main treatment period participants were randomly assigned to ruxolitinib arm or Best Available Therapy(BAT) arm for 6 cycles of treatment. At the end of Cycle 6, participants in the BAT arm either crossed over to ruxolitinib treatment or entered survival follow-up Phase.
    Pre-assignment Detail A total of 404 participants were screened, of whom 72 were screen failures and 3 were not randomized for various reasons. Out of the 329 participants randomized, 6 did not receive Best Available Treatment (BAT) due to logistical reasons and 3 did not receive due to use of prohibited medications. A total of 329 patients were included in the Full Analysis Set (FAS), 165 were in the ruxolitinib arm and 164 were in the BAT arm.
    Arm/Group Title Ruxolitinib Best Available Therapy Ruxolitinib -Cross Over Period
    Arm/Group Description Ruxolitinib was administered orally twice per day at a dose of 10 mg. Best available therapies including but not limited to extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP),low-dose methotrexate (MTX), mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), mTOR inhibitors (everolimus or sirolimus), infliximab, rituximab ,pentostatin, imatinib and ibrutinib based on investigators decision. Participants from BAT arm at the end of cycle 6 crossed over to ruxolitinib treatment

    2. Secondary Outcome
    Title Rate of Participants With Clinically Relevant Improvement of the Modified Lee cGvHD Symptom Scale Score
    Description To assess improvement of symptoms based on the total symptom score (TSS); a responder is defined as having achieved a clinically relevant reduction from baseline of the TSS. Scale that consists of 30 items in 7 subscales (skin, eye, mouth, lung, nutrition, energy and psychological). Patients report their level of symptom "bother" over the previous month on a 5-point likert scale: not at all, slightly, moderately, quite a bit, or extremely. Subscale scores and the summary score range from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating worse symptoms.

    Description The mean change from baseline of the FACT-BMT questionnaire. FACTBMT is a 50-item self-report questionnaire that measures the effect of a therapy on domains including physical, functional, social/family, and emotional well-being, together with additional concerns relevant for bone marrow transplantation patients. The questions were based on 5-point Likert scale, where 0 corresponds to 'not at all' and 4 correspond to 'very much'. The higher the final score, the better the quality of life. The FACT-BMT total score range from 0 to 148.

    Title Changes in EQ-5D-5L
    Description The EQ-5D-5L: a descriptive classification consisting of five dimensions of health: mobility, self-care, usual activities, anxiety/depression, and pain/discomfort (Brooks 1996). The five-level version (no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems) uses a 5-point likert scale with 1 being no problems and 5 being extreme problems.
    Time Frame Up to Cycle 24 Day 1
