Itacitinib With High-dose Posttransplantation Cyclophosphamide in Older Patients

Description

This research is being done to learn whether drug called itacitinib, which is a novel inflammation- and immune-lowering drug (immunosuppressant), can be given before and after non-myeloablative peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT; also known as a 'mini' transplant) to help prevent certain complications such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) for patients with blood cancers, using peripheral blood from a relative. The investigators will also examine if by using itacitinib the investigators can reduce the duration of MMF (other immune suppressive drug administration posttransplant).

Conditions

Leukemia, Acute, Myelodysplastic Syndromes, Myelomonocytic Leukemia, Chronic, T-cell Prolymphocytic Leukemia, CML, Myeloproliferative Disorders, Multiple Myeloma, Plasma Cell Leukemia

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Eligible diagnoses:
  • 1. Acute leukemias in complete remission with minimal residual disease
  • 2. Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with at least one poor-risk feature
  • 3. Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia with at least one poor-risk feature
  • 4. T-cell PLL in PR or better prior to transplantation.
  • 5. Tyrosine kinase-refractory CML in first chronic phase, TKI-intolerant CML in first chronic phase, or CML in second or subsequent chronic phase.
  • 6. Philadelphia chromosome negative myeloproliferative disease (including myelofibrosis)
  • 7. Multiple myeloma or plasma cell leukemia with a PR or better to the last treatment regimen
  • * Age ≥ 60 years.
  • * Adequate end-organ function as measured by:
  • 1. Left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 35% or shortening fraction \> 25%
  • 2. Bilirubin ≤ 3.0 mg/dL (unless due to Gilbert's syndrome or hemolysis), and ALT and AST ≤ 5 x ULN
  • 3. FEV1 and FVC ≥ 40% of predicted
  • * ECOG performance status ≤ 2 or Karnofsky score ≥ 60
  • * No active extramedullary leukemia or known active CNS involvement by malignancy.

  • * No previous allogeneic HSCT.
  • * Not pregnant or breast-feeding
  • * No uncontrolled infection.
  • * No known HIV infection.
