-Mallinckrodt Presents Data on Real-World Outcomes with THERAKOS™ CELLEX™ Photopheresis System Treatment at 2024 Tandem Meetings
– Analysis of published studies on extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) treatment for steroid-resistant chronic graft-versus-host disease (SR-cGvHD) assessed that THERAKOS ECP may improve short- and long-term patient outcomes1 –
THIS INFORMATION IS INTENDED ONLY FOR THE EUROPEAN PUBLIC
DUBLIN, Feb. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Mallinckrodt plc, a global specialty pharmaceutical company, today announced a poster presentation of findings from a systematic literature review and meta-analysis of safety, efficacy and outcomes in the real world of extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) treatment for patients with steroid-refractory chronic graft-versus-host disease (SR-cGvHD).1 An analysis of 47 studies reporting on the THERAKOS™ CELLEX™ photopheresis system showed that treatment of SR-cGvHD with DBS was associated with improvements in patients’ overall survival (OS), failure-free survival (FFS), and overall response rate (ORR).1 Results will be shared in a poster presentation at the Meetings Tandem of 2024, the Transplantation combination
A systematic review of the literature available through October 19, 2022 was first conducted to identify and analyze studies of patients receiving DBS for SR-cGvHD that reported efficacy, safety, or health-related quality of life outcomes ( HRQoL).1 The literature review identified 47 studies that uniquely reported treatment with THERAKOS ECP with a sample size ? 10 patients, comprising a total of 2,361 patients.1 Lines of therapy were poorly reported (n=15) and ranged from 0 to ?4 lines of prior treatment.1 Most clinical studies (n=27) used a retrospective case series design.1
Using the studies identified in the systematic literature review, random effects meta-analyses were performed for short- and long-term efficacy outcomes, including ORR and skin-specific response, and OS and FFS, respectively.1 Also Subgroup analysis was performed to explore the effect of National Institutes of Health (NIH) outcome assessment criteria versus non-NIH/unknown criteria.1 Safety and HRQoL outcomes were poorly reported in existing clinical literature and were therefore not suitable for meta-analysis.1
“We are pleased to share this important analysis of real-world data supporting the efficacy, safety, and associated improvements of THERAKOS ECP in short- and long-term outcomes, including overall survival, failure-free survival, and overall response rate. , for patients with steroid-refractory chronic graft-versus-host disease1,” said Zachariah DeFilipp, MD, Hematopoietic Cell Transplant and Cellular Therapy Program, Massachusetts General Hospital, MA. “This analysis not only builds on the growing body of evidence supporting the usefulness of DBS in the treatment of patients with this condition, but also reflects the importance of supporting clinicians with treatment options for the management of patients who do not. respond to other types of therapy, such as steroids.1”
When evaluating the short-term effectiveness of THERAKOS ECP, this meta-analysis found1:
When evaluating the long-term effectiveness of THERAKOS ECP, this meta-analysis found1:
LimitationsData collected in systematic literature reviews and meta-analyses may have errors or omissions. The studies included in the analysis are heterogeneous, using different patient populations, endpoints, interventions, and doses.1 There was considerable heterogeneity across analyses, with I2 values ??ranging from 65% to 91%.1 Most of the studies included in the meta-analysis were retrospective analyzes1 and these observations may require further investigation in prospective controlled trials. Statistical evaluations should be interpreted with caution. Results may be influenced by therapies not evaluated in the study and clinical/health economic outcomes may not be solely attributable to THERAKOS ECP.

About extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP)ECP, a blood-based immunomodulatory therapy developed more than 30 years ago, is recommended by the International Society of Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT)2 and other clinical societies3,4,5 as an adjunctive therapy for the prevention and treatment of ACR after heart transplantation. Additionally, ECP may be considered to treat AMR with or without donor-specific antibodies.6,7 In countries where it is approved, ECP is used to treat a variety of immune-mediated diseases, including the cutaneous manifestations of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma ( CTCL), graft versus host disease (GvHD), solid organ transplant rejection, and other autoimmune diseases. During DBS treatment, a small number of white blood cells are collected and treated with a medication that is activated by ultraviolet light.
