At 1 year, the GVHD-and–relapse-free survival achieved with Orca-Q was 75%, which was noted to compare favorably with prior data reported in context of myeloablative conditioning , haploidentical stem cell transplant, and posttransplant cyclophosphamide.

Ruxolitinib elicited higher responses at day 28 compared with best available therapy in most cytopenia-based subgroups and had durable responses at day 56, according to a post hoc analysis of the REACH2 trial.

According to findings presented at the 2023 Transplantation & Cellular Therapy Meetings, experts did not identify clear correlation between the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ruxolitinib in patients with graft-vs-host-disease.

In 8 patients with various hematologic malignancies who received an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant with 7/8 non-permissive HLA mismatched donors, Orca-T led to a 100% survival rate.

The phase 3 REACH2 trial showed that early treatment with ruxolitinib 10 mg led to higher response rates vs that seen with the best available therapy in patients with grade II-IV steroid-refractory acute graft-vs-host disease.

Looking at a retrospective analysis of data from a single-center, the use of ruxolitinib decreased non-relapse mortality and improved overall survival for patients with steroid-refractory acute graft-vs-host-disease.
