New drug combo aims to prevent dangerous transplant complication in rare blood cancer
NCT ID NCT07440654
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a new drug called gecacitinib, combined with standard anti-rejection medicine, can prevent a serious complication called graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in people with myelofibrosis who receive a stem cell transplant. About 40 adults will take part. The goal is to see if this approach reduces severe GVHD and improves recovery.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Voluntarily sign the informed consent form (ICF), and be aged ≥ 18 years at the time of signing. * Diagnosis of primary myelofibrosis (PMF) according to the 2016 WHO criteria (DIPSS intermediate-2/high risk, MPISS70 high/very high risk, or RR6 high risk), or post-ET/PV secondary myelofibrosis (MYSEC intermediate-2/high risk), with intention to undergo allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). * Recipient with myelofibrosis scheduled to receive myeloablative conditioning allo-HSCT from a matched unrelated donor, matched sibling donor, or haploidentical donor. * Karnofsky Performance Scale score ≥ 60. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score 0-2. * Male participants must agree to abstinence or use barrier contraception throughout the study. * Female participants of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test and agree to use two effective methods of contraception throughout the study. * Ability to swallow tablets. * Ability to comply with study and follow-up procedures. Exclusion Criteria: * Prior treatment with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy. * Hepatic insufficiency defined as bilirubin ≥ 2 × upper limit of normal (ULN), except for patients with a history of Gilbert Syndrome. * Renal impairment defined as serum creatinine \> 2 mg/dL. * Cardiac dysfunction defined as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 45%. * Pulmonary dysfunction defined as forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) or diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) (corrected for hemoglobin) ≤ 50% of predicted value. * Chronic or active infection requiring systemic therapy during the peri-transplant and post-transplant period. * Diagnosis of another active malignancy within the past 12 months, except for adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, adequately treated melanoma of grade 2 or below, or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Active malignancy is defined as malignancy undergoing active treatment. * Any significant clinical or laboratory abnormality that may compromise safety evaluation, such as: 1. Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (fasting blood glucose \> 13.9 mmol/L); 2. Hypertension uncontrolled by two or more antihypertensive agents (systolic blood pressure ≥ 160 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mmHg); 3. Peripheral neuropathy of grade ≥ 2 per NCI-CTCAE v5.0. * Pre-transplant diagnosis of gastrointestinal impairment or disease that may affect drug absorption, including ulcerative disease, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or history of gastrectomy or intestinal resection. * Cholestatic disease or sinusoidal obstruction syndrome / hepatic veno-occlusive disease at screening (defined as persistent bilirubin abnormality and progressive organ dysfunction not due to graft-versus-host disease). * Active and uncontrolled viral infection at screening, including CMV, EBV, HIV (positive anti-HIV antibody), HBV (positive HBsAg or positive HBV-DNA), HCV (positive anti-HCV antibody or positive HCV-RNA). * Active tuberculosis within 6 months prior to screening. * History of epilepsy or use of psychotropic or sedative medications at screening. * Female patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy, or who cannot use effective contraception throughout the study; male patients who do not use condoms during dosing and for 2 days (approximately 5 half-lives) after the last dose. * History of malignancy other than the transplanted tumor within the previous 5 years. * Use of anticoagulant or antiplatelet agents (except low-molecular-weight heparin). * Presence of other severe diseases that, in the investigator's opinion, may affect patient safety or compliance. * Suspected hypersensitivity to geltrectinib hydrochloride, its analogs, or any of its excipients. * Participation in another clinical trial of an investigational drug or medical device within 4 weeks prior to screening. * Any other condition that, in the investigator's judgment, renders the patient ineligible for the study.
