In a study of people experiencing chronic GVHD symptoms after taking at least 2 therapies,

Niktimvo (axatilimab-csfr) delivered fast and lasting responses

Study overview

Niktimvo was studied in 79 people who had received a stem cell transplant, received at least 2 prior treatments for chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and weighed at least 88.2 pounds (40 kg).

Most people achieved a response with Niktimvo

A response to treatment with Niktimvo was defined as:

  • A resolution of all signs and symptoms of chronic GVHD (complete response), or
  • Improvement in at least one affected area without worsening signs or symptoms in other areas (partial response)

75% of people (59 out of 79)

experienced a response

Of the people who responded to treatment, half saw their first response in

6 weeks or less

The time to first response ranged from 4 weeks to 22 weeks.

Niktimvo provided lasting responses

More than half (60%) of the people who showed a response to Niktimvo continued to respond

for at least 1 year

People achieved responses in multiple affected organs

A complete or partial response in each organ was evaluated by recording changes in chronic GVHD severity from the beginning of the study to the end.
