---|---|---|
Experimental Ibrutinib + Prednisone |
Ibrutinib (420 mg) given orally once daily continuously starting on Week 1 Day 1 until cGVHD progression, progression of underlying malignancy, participant begins another systemic treatment for cGVHD or unacceptable toxicity. The 420 mg dose was adjusted for cytochrome P450 [CYP] inhibitors or hepatic dysfunction as applicable. Prednisone 1 mg/kg/d given orally once daily continuously starting on Week 1 Day 1 until unacceptable toxicity or until participant is successfully tapered from the prednisone. Starting prednisone dose may be as low as 0.5 mg/kg/d if a participant cannot tolerate higher doses. |

Placebo Comparator Placebo + Prednisone |
Placebo given orally once daily continuously starting on Week 1 Day 1 until cGVHD progression, progression of underlying malignancy, participant begins another systemic treatment for cGVHD or unacceptable toxicity. Prednisone 1 mg/kg/d given orally once daily continuously starting on Week 1 Day 1 until unacceptable toxicity or until participant is successfully tapered from the prednisone. Starting prednisone dose may be as low as 0.5 mg/kg/d if a participant cannot tolerate higher doses. |
