About this study

Official title: Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation With Pegylated Interferon Alfa-2a for Primary and Secondary Myelofibrosis (ATIOM)

This is a single site, open-label, dose de-escalation, Phase 1 study of pegylated interferon alfa-2a administered after alloHCT in subjects with primary or secondary myelofibrosis. Part 1 of the study will assess the rate of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) during the DLT evaluation period and identify the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D). Once the RP2D is identified, 6 additional patients will be enrolled in the expansion cohort.

Conditions

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Pegylated interferon alpha2aDrug

    PegINFa will be given once every 2 weeks by subcutaneous administration in the abdomen or thigh.

Study groups in NCT05535764
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Treatment: All PatientsExperimentalA 3+3 dose de-escalation design will be used to determine the recommended phase 2 dose,while ensuring the safety and tolerability of the treatment. In this trial, the dose determined to be the maximum tolerated dose will be the recommended phase 2 dose and will be utilized in the cohort expansion.
Receives: Drug: Pegylated interferon alpha2a

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Rate of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) during the DLT evaluation period

    To identify the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of pegylated interferon alfa-2a in subjects undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation for primary or secondary myelofibrosis

    Measured: Start of treatment to 86 days after treatment initiation

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Assess the safety of pegylated interferon alfa-2a in the study population.

    Frequency of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) characterized by type, severity (as defined by the NIH CTCAE version 5.0), seriousness, duration, and relationship to study treatment.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Assess the tolerability of pegylated interferon alfa-2a in the study population.

    Frequency of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) characterized by type, severity (as defined by the NIH CTCAE version 5.0), seriousness, duration, and relationship to study treatment.

    Measured: 3 years

  3. Assess the rate of treatment-related mortality in the study population.

    Rate of treatment-related mortality which is defined as proportion of deaths in patients who have received at least one dose of study therapy, which is attributed to complications from alloHCT or conditioning therapy (in the absence of myelofibrosis relapse) from 30 days after the end of conditioning therapy to one week after the last dose of study therapy.

    Measured: 3 years

  4. Assess Objective Response Rate (ORR) in the study population.

    Response rates according to IWG-MRT including, CR, PR, CI, PD, SD, or Relapse.

    Measured: 3 Years

  5. Assess leukemia-free survival (LFS) in the study population.

    Rate of Leukemia-free survival (LFS) as defined from the day of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation to the time documented disease relapse/progression (date of bone marrow blast count of 20% or greater or date of first peripheral blast count of 20% or greater that was subsequently confirmed to sustain for at least 8 weeks), initiation of non-protocol MF therapy, loss to follow-up, study end, or death from any cause, whichever comes first.

    Measured: 3 years

  6. Assess the incidence of acute and/or chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) in the study population

    Cumulative incidence of Glucksberg grade II, III, and IV acute GVHD and incidence of mild, moderate or severe chronic GVHD per NIH grading criteria.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Pegylated interferon alpha2a in people with Myelofibrosis, run by University of Utah at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 47 inclusion and 24 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Rachel Kingsford (801-585-0115, Rachel.Kingsford@hci.utah.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) during the DLT evaluation period (time frame: Start of treatment to 86 days after treatment initiation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05535764, which also lists 22 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Oct 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
