Brief Summary
Gecacitinib hydrochloride is a novel JAK/ACVR1 inhibitor approved for intermediate- and high-risk myelofibrosis (MF). Clinical and real-world data demonstrate significant efficacy in spleen reduction, symptom relief, and anemia improvement, with favorable safety and tolerability. Preclinical studies confirm that this agent can mitigate GVHD and suppress inflammation. MF patients undergoing allo-HSCT are at risk of delayed engraftment and aGVHD. Based on the immunomodulatory effects of JAK inhibitors, gecacitinib is expected to have potential for aGVHD prophylaxis. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of geltrectinib hydrochloride combined with ATG for preventing aGVHD in MF patients after allo-HSCT.

Study Arms (1)
Gecacitinib Hydrochloride in Combination with Rabbit Anti-human Thymocyte Immunoglobulin (ATG)
EXPERIMENTALInterventions
(i) Rabbit anti-human thymocyte immunoglobulin (ATG): administered on Days -4 to -2.(ii) Cyclosporine A: initiated on Day -9 through Day +180, tapered gradually after Day +90.(iii) Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF): administered at 0.5 g twice daily (bid) from Day -9 to Day +30.(iv) Geltrectinib hydrochloride: administered between Day +6 and Day +28 post-engraftment at a dose of 50 mg twice daily (bid).
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- 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.
You may not qualify if:
- 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:
- Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (fasting blood glucose \> 13.9 mmol/L);
- Hypertension uncontrolled by two or more antihypertensive agents (systolic blood pressure ≥ 160 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mmHg);
- 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.
