What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

Researchers are testing whether gecacitinib, an oral drug, can improve outcomes for people with myeloid neoplasms and myelofibrosis who are scheduled for a donor stem cell transplant. About 10 participants will take gecacitinib starting 13 weeks before transplant, through the transplant period, and for up to 24 weeks after their marrow starts working again. The main goal is to see how many patients achieve successful engraftment by day 28 after transplant. The study also tracks graft failure, severe graft-versus-host disease, survival, infections, and changes in bone marrow scarring.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
gecacitinib, an oral tablet given around the time of a donor stem cell transplant
What this could lead to
If it works, gecacitinib could help donor stem cells settle in faster and lower the risk of graft failure and severe graft-versus-host disease after transplant.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, single-center early-phase study with no control group, so any benefit could be due to chance or not apply to other patients. Gecacitinib may also cause side effects that outweigh its benefits.

Able to comply with study procedures and follow-up requirements Exclusion Criteria: 1. Currently receiving JAK inhibitors other than gecacitinib at screening (patients who have switched from other JAK inhibitors to gecacitinib before screening are eligible) 2. Prior allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or organ transplantation 3. Uncontrolled severe infection, shock, severe organ failure, or any other condition that would preclude tolerance of the study treatment at enrollment. 4. Any significant clinical or laboratory abnormality that may affect safety evaluation, including: 1. Uncontrolled diabetes (fasting blood glucose \>13.9 mmol/L) 2. Uncontrolled hypertension despite ≥2 antihypertensive drugs (SBP ≥160 mmHg or DBP ≥100 mmHg) 3. Peripheral neuropathy (NCI-CTC AE v5.0 grade ≥2) 4. Serum creatinine \>1.5×ULN 5. ALT or AST \>2.5×ULN; DBIL or TBIL \>2.0×ULN 5. Any of the following within 6 months before screening: NYHA class III-IV congestive heart failure, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, or pulmonary embolism; arrhythmia requiring treatment; or QTcB \>480 ms. 6. Known active gastrointestinal ulcer at screening, or a history of gastrectomy or intestinal resection that may affect drug absorption. 7. Major surgery within 4 weeks before screening without full recovery 8. Known HIV infection and/or AIDS 9. History of tuberculosis infection 10. Epilepsy or use of psychotropic/sedative drugs at screening 11. Pregnant or breastfeeding women; patients unable to use effective contraception throughout the study period 12. Any other comorbidity that may affect the study or prior malignancy 13. Treatment with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs (except low molecular weight heparin) 14. Other severe conditions that, in the investigator's judgment, may affect patient safety or compliance 15. Known hypersensitivity to gecacitinib hydrochloride, drugs of the same class, or any excipients 16. Participation in other investigational drug or medical device clinical trials within 3 months before screening 17. Any comorbidity or prior malignancy that, in the investigator's judgment, may affect study participation, safety evaluation, or interpretation of study results.
