Phase II: ORR is defined as the percentage of patients demonstrating a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) without requirement for additional systemic therapies for an earlier progression, mixed response or non-response. Scoring of response was relative to the organ stage at the start of the study treatment.

Complete response (CR) is defined as a score of 0 for the aGvHD grading in all evaluable organs that indicates complete resolution of all signs and symptoms of aGvHD in all evaluable organs without administration of additional systemic therapy for any earlier progression, mixed response or non-response of aGvHD.

Partial response (PR) is defined as improvement of 1 stage in 1 or more organs involved with aGvHD signs or symptoms without progression in other organs or sites without administration of additional systemic therapy for an earlier progression, mixed response or non-response of aGvHD.

Durable ORR at Day 56 was defined as the percentage of all subjects who achieved a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) at Day 28 and maintained a CR or PR at Day 56.

To assess pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationship (comparison of AUClast with ORR at day 28). ORR is the percentage of patients with a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) without additional systemic therapies. Given age group did not have a significant effect on the model fit, the comparison is made indirectly through the odds ratio across exposure levels in each group. A high response rate may prevent model convergence. Results are shown only upon successful convergence.

To assess pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationship (comparison of AUClast with DRR at day 56). Durable ORR at Day 56 was defined as the percentage of all participants who achieved a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) at Day 28 and maintained a CR or PR at Day 56. Given age group did not have a significant effect on the model fit, the comparison is made indirectly through the odds ratio across exposure levels in each group. A high response rate may prevent model convergence. Results are shown only upon successful convergence.

To assess pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationship (comparison of AUClast with safety - bleeding). Bleeding was reported as an adverse event and the AE severity grade was assessed according to CTCAE grading. Given age group did not have a significant effect on the model fit, the comparison is made indirectly through the hazard ratio across exposure levels in each group. A high response rate may prevent model convergence. Results are shown only upon successful convergence.

To assess pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationship (comparison of AUClast with safety - infection). This analysis includes subjects from F12201 (pediatric and adolescent participants) study. Infections were reported as adverse events and the AE severity grade was assessed according to CTCAE grading. Given age group did not have a significant effect on the model fit, the comparison is made indirectly throughs the hazard ratio across exposure levels in each group. A high response rate may prevent model convergence. Results are shown only upon successful convergence

Duration of response was defined as the time from first response (PR or CR) until acute GvHD progression, or the date of additional systemic therapy for acute GvHD. Death without prior observation of acute GvHD progression, and onset of chronic GvHD are considered to be competing risks. Duration of response will be censored at the last response assessment prior to or at the analysis cut-off date, if no events/competing risks occurred on or before 4 weeks (28 days) after the last GvHD assessment. The estimated probability of loss of response at 1, 2 and 6 months after participant's first achievement of CR or PR has been reported. Due to the presence of competing risk, the DOR results are being presented in the form of the probability of loss of response at different time points. As planned in the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP), this outcome measure is provided for all subjects instead of per age groups.

The weekly cumulative steroid dose was calculated for each subject up to Day 56 and the overall cumulative steroid dose was calculated for each subject at Day 56.

OS is defined as the time from the start of treatment to the date of death due to any cause.

As planned in the SAP, this outcome measure is provided for all subjects instead of per age groups.

EFS is defined as the time from start of treatment to the date of hematologic disease relapse/progression, graft failure, or death due to any cause.

cGvHD is defined as the diagnosis of any cGvHD including mild, moderate, severe. Incidence of chronic GvHD was the time from the start of treatment to onset of chronic GvHD. Cumulative incidence of chronic GvHD was estimated, accounting for deaths without prior onset of chronic GvHD and hematologic disease relapse/progression as the competing risks.

As planned in the SAP, this outcome measure is provided for all subjects instead of per age groups.

This was assessed by donor cell chimerism, defined as initial whole blood or marrow donor chimerism for those who had ≥5% donor cell chimerism at baseline. If donor cell chimerism declined to <5% on subsequent measurements, graft failure was declared.

Responses from the acceptability and palatability of the study drug (only for subjects administered with oral pediatric formulation starting treatment Day 1) were evaluated from a questionnaire completed by subjects, with the help from parents or caregivers as needed at the following visits: Day 1 (after first dose), Week 4 (1 month) ((after either morning or evening dose of that visit date), Week 24 (6 months) (after either morning or evening dose of that visit date). The choices for taste of the medication were, 'Very good', 'good', 'not good or bad', 'Bad', very bad. The choices for aftertaste of the medication were, 'Very good', 'Good', 'Not good or bad' , 'Bad', Very bad'. The choices for the smell of the medication were, 'Not good or bad' or 'Bad'.
