Itacitinib for GVHD Prevention

Single Center Pilot Study to Investigate the Efficacy of Adding Itacitinib to Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide as Graft-Versus-Host Disease Prophylaxis After Reduced Intensity Conditioning Matched Donor Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation With Peripheral Blood Stem Cells as Graft Source

What's the purpose of the trial?

This clinical trial evaluates the safety and effectiveness of adding itacitinib to cyclophosphamide and tacrolimus for the prevention of graft versus host disease (GVHD) in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Itacitinib is an enzyme inhibitor that may regulate the development, proliferation, and activation of immune cells important for GVHD development. Cyclophosphamide and tacrolimus are immunosuppressive agents that may prevent GVHD in patients who receive stem cell transplants. Giving itacitinib in addition to cyclophosphamide and tacrolimus may be more effective at preventing GVHD in patients receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplants.

Experimental Treatments

Learn more about the experimental treatments being evaluated in this clinical trial.

  • Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant is a type of stem cell transplant that utilizes a donor's pre-collected stem cells to rescue the bone marrow from the toxic effects of very high dose chemotherapy.
  • Cyclophosphamide is a chemotherapy agent used in the treatment of cancer.
  • Itacitinib is an oral JAK1 inhibitor that is being studied for use in several different cancers. 
  • Tacrolimus is an immunosuppressive medication used to help prevent rejection in patients who have had a transplant.
