About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Prospective, Open-Label, Single-Arm Clinical Study of Peri-Transplant Gecacitinib in Patients With Myelofibrosis Undergoing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and feasibility of peri-transplant gecacitinib in patients with myelofibrosis undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).

Myelofibrosis is a bone marrow disorder that can cause reduced blood cell production, enlargement of the spleen, and other complications. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation offers a potential cure, but its benefits may be limited by graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), disease relapse, and transplant-related complications.

Read more

This is a multicenter, prospective, open-label, single-arm clinical study. Participants will receive gecacitinib before, during, and after transplantation, together with standard transplantation care and GVHD prophylaxis.

The primary objective is to evaluate GVHD-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) at 1 year after transplantation. GRFS measures survival without severe acute GVHD, chronic GVHD requiring systemic immunosuppressive treatment, disease relapse or progression, or death.

The study plans to enroll approximately 46 participants, with 43 expected to be evaluable for the primary endpoint. Participants will be followed for up to 2 years after transplantation. Secondary assessments include overall survival, progression-free survival, GVHD, disease relapse, non-relapse mortality, hematopoietic engraftment, treatment feasibility, and safety.

Read the detailed description

ackground and Rationale

Myelofibrosis (MF) is a chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by progressive bone marrow fibrosis, abnormal hematopoiesis, splenomegaly, constitutional symptoms, and an increased risk of leukemic transformation. Myelofibrosis includes primary myelofibrosis (PMF) and secondary myelofibrosis arising from polycythemia vera or essential thrombocythemia.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remains the only potentially curative treatment for eligible patients with myelofibrosis. However, transplantation is associated with substantial risks of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), graft failure, disease relapse, and non-relapse mortality, which may compromise long-term clinical outcomes.

Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors have demonstrated clinical benefits in controlling splenomegaly and constitutional symptoms in patients with myelofibrosis. Nevertheless, the optimal strategy for JAK inhibitor administration before, during, and after allo-HSCT remains uncertain.

Gecacitinib is an orally administered JAK inhibitor used for the treatment of myelofibrosis. This study aims to investigate whether a continuous peri-transplant gecacitinib strategy is feasible and safe and whether it may improve post-transplant outcomes.

Study Design

This is a multicenter, prospective, open-label, single-arm clinical study evaluating peri-transplant gecacitinib in patients with primary or secondary myelofibrosis undergoing allo-HSCT.

Approximately 46 participants will be enrolled to obtain 43 evaluable participants for the primary efficacy analysis.

All participants will receive gecacitinib in addition to protocol-defined standard transplantation care and GVHD prophylaxis. There is no randomized allocation or concurrent control group.

Treatment Strategy

Gecacitinib treatment will begin on Day -14 before transplantation and will be continued through the conditioning, transplantation, and post-transplant periods, subject to protocol-defined safety assessments and dose modifications.

The recommended initial oral dose is 50 mg twice daily for participants with a baseline platelet count of at least 50 × 10^9/L, or 50 mg once daily for participants with a baseline platelet count below 50 × 10^9/L.

After hematopoietic engraftment, dose escalation may be considered according to hematologic recovery, treatment tolerance, disease-related symptoms, and the investigator's assessment. Dose reductions, temporary interruptions, and treatment discontinuation will be implemented according to protocol-defined criteria for hematologic and nonhematologic toxicities, infections, organ dysfunction, and potential drug interactions.

Gecacitinib treatment may continue for up to 1 year after transplantation.

Study Objectives and Endpoints

The primary objective is to evaluate the 1-year GVHD-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) following allo-HSCT.

GRFS is defined as survival without any of the following events: grade III-IV acute GVHD, chronic GVHD requiring systemic immunosuppressive treatment, relapse or progression of myelofibrosis, or death.

Secondary objectives include the evaluation of overall survival, progression-free survival, the incidence and severity of acute and chronic GVHD, disease relapse or progression, non-relapse mortality, hematopoietic engraftment, treatment feasibility, and safety.

Exploratory assessments will investigate donor chimerism dynamics, immune reconstitution, and changes in selected cytokine-related biomarkers and their potential associations with clinical outcomes.

Statistical Considerations

The study uses a single-arm threshold-based design. The historical 1-year GRFS rate is assumed to be 20%, and the target rate is 40%.

A total of 43 evaluable participants is planned. Achievement of 1-year GRFS in at least 13 of these 43 participants will meet the prespecified efficacy threshold.

Kaplan-Meier methods will be used to estimate survival outcomes. Competing-risk methods will be applied to appropriate transplant-related endpoints, including GVHD, relapse, and non-relapse mortality. Safety will be evaluated by summarizing adverse events, serious adverse events, and treatment modifications.

Follow-up

Participants will undergo scheduled clinical and laboratory assessments throughout treatment and follow-up. These assessments will include hematologic recovery, disease status, GVHD, infectious complications, adverse events, donor chimerism, and immune reconstitution as applicable.

Participants will be followed for 2 years after transplantation to assess survival, disease control, transplant-related complications, and long-term safety.

What participants receive

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

  • Peri-Transplant GecacitinibDrug

    Gecacitinib will be administered orally starting on Day -14 before allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) and continued throughout conditioning, transplantation, and the post-transplant period.

    The initial dose will be 50 mg twice daily (BID) for participants with baseline platelet counts ≥50 × 10^9/L or 50 mg once daily (QD) for those with platelet counts below 50 × 10^9/L.

    After hematopoietic engraftment, dose escalation up to 100 mg BID may be considered based on hematologic recovery, treatment tolerability, and disease control. Dose reductions, temporary interruptions, and treatment discontinuation will follow protocol-defined criteria for adverse events, infections, organ dysfunction, and drug interactions.

    Treatment may continue for up to 1 year after transplantation. All participants will receive standard transplantation care and GVHD prophylaxis.

What is being measured

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

  1. 1-Year GVHD-Free, Relapse-Free Survival (GRFS)

    The proportion of participants alive at 1 year after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation without any of the following events: grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), chronic GVHD requiring systemic immunosuppressive treatment, relapse or progression of myelofibrosis, or death from any cause. The first occurrence of any component event will be considered a GRFS event. Acute GVHD will be graded according to MAGIC criteria, and chronic GVHD will be assessed according to the 2014 NIH consensus criteria.

    Measured: From transplantation (Day 0) to 12 months after transplantation

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Progression-Free Survival(PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from transplantation to the first occurrence of myelofibrosis relapse or progression, or death from any cause. PFS probabilities will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: At 12 months after transplantation

  2. Overall Survival(OS)

    OS is defined as the time from transplantation to death from any cause. Participants alive at the last follow-up will be censored. OS probabilities will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: At 12 months after transplantation

  3. Cumulative Incidence of Grade II-IV Acute GVHD

    Cumulative incidence of grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease assessed according to the MAGIC criteria. Death without prior acute GVHD will be treated as a competing event.

    Measured: From transplantation to Day +180

  4. Cumulative Incidence of Grade III-IV Acute GVHD

    Cumulative incidence of grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease assessed according to the MAGIC criteria. Death without prior acute GVHD will be treated as a competing event.

    Measured: From transplantation to Day +180

  5. Cumulative Incidence of Moderate-to-Severe Chronic GVHD

    Cumulative incidence of moderate-to-severe chronic graft-versus-host disease assessed according to the 2014 NIH consensus criteria. Death without prior chronic GVHD will be treated as a competing event.

    Measured: At 12 months after transplantation

  6. Cumulative Incidence of Non-Relapse Mortality (NRM)

    Cumulative incidence of death without prior relapse or progression of myelofibrosis. Disease relapse or progression will be considered a competing event.

    Measured: At 6 and 12 months after transplantation
