On August 19, 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted orphan drug designation and fast track designation to RLS-0071, an investigational dual-targeting anti-inflammatory peptide, for the treatment of patients with steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (SR-aGvHD).1 RLS-0071 has a novel dual mechanism of action, modulating the complement and innate inflammatory pathways.1 A phase II trial (NCT06343792) to assess the safety and efficacy of RLS-0071 in hospitalized patients with SR-aGvHD is currently ongoing.1
