About this trial

This initial cohort of this phase II trial studied the outcomes of using a JAK inhibitor prior to reduced intensity haploidentical (Haplo) transplantation for the treatment of primary or secondary myelofibrosis (MF). The primary risk of using Haplo HCT in patients with MF is graft failure. In the first cohort, all patients engrafted. There were no instances of graft failure. However, a large number of patients did have graft versus host disease as a complication of their transplant. JAK inhibitors have since been approved for the indication of graft versus host disease treatment. And we are also using them for graft versus host disease prevention in a study of MF patients with sibling and unrelated donors. Therefore, we are opening a new cohort of the current study using the JAK inhibitor prior to, during and after Haplo transplant. Our goal is to decrease graft versus host disease in patients receiving a Haplo MF transplant without increasing the risk of graft failure.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Probability of primary and secondary graft failure

Primary graft failure is defined as failure to achieve an absolute neutrophil count of \> 500/ul by 42 days after bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. Secondary graft failure is defined as cytopenias after initial engraftment, with (a) donor chimerism of \< 5% or (b) falling donor chimerism with intervention such as second transplant or donor lymphocyte infusion or (c) patient death due to cytopenias, and fall in donor chimerism, even if chimerism is \> 5%. Exclusion criteria for diagnosis of graft failure are (a) disease relapse, (b) graft-versus-host disease, and (c) other causes of cytopenias such as, viral infection and drug toxicity.
