Brief Summary

In this trial, the investigators will begin to explore the possibility that, as in mice, JAK1/2 inhibition with hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) may mitigate graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) w...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patients must meet the following criteria within 30 days prior to Day 0 unless otherwise noted.
  • Diagnosis of a hematological malignancy listed below:
  • Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) in complete morphological remission (based on IWG Criteria).
  • Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) in complete morphological remission (MRD negative, based on IWG Criteria).
  • Myelodysplastic syndrome with less than 10% blasts in bone marrow.
  • Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) or Hodgkin's disease (HD) in 2nd or greater complete or partial remission.
  • Planned treatment is myeloablative or reduced intensity conditioning followed by peripheral blood HLA matched donor transplantation
  • Available HLA-identical donor who meets the following criteria:
  • At least 18 years of age.
  • HLA-identical donor/recipient match by high-resolution typing per institutional standards.
  • In the investigator's opinion, is in general good health, and medically able to tolerate leukapheresis required for harvesting HSC.
  • No active hepatitis.
  • Negative for HTLV and HIV.
  • Not pregnant.
  • Donor selection will be in compliance with institutional standards
  • Safety Lead-In Phase: For the first three patients at each dose level, related donors must consent to a second product collection should it prove necessary.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2
  • Adequate organ function as defined below:
  • Total bilirubin must be within normal range at baseline.
  • AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) ≤ 3.0 x IULN.
  • Estimated creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 by Cockcroft-Gault Formula.
  • Oxygen saturation ≥ 90% on room air.
  • LVEF ≥ 40%.
  • FEV1 and FVC ≥ 40% predicted, DLCOc ≥ 40% predicted. If DLCO is \< 40%, patients will still be considered eligible if deemed safe after a pulmonary evaluation.
  • At least 18 years of age at the time of study registration
  • Able to understand and willing to sign an IRB approved written informed consent document (or that of legally authorized representative, if applicable).
  • Must be able to receive GVHD prophylaxis with tacrolimus, mini-methotrexate with or without ATG or post transplant Cy with MMF and tacrolimus as outlined in the protocol

Exclusion

  • Must not have undergone a prior allogeneic donor (related, unrelated, or cord) transplant. Prior autologous transplant is not exclusionary.
  • Known HIV or active hepatitis B or C infection.
  • Known latent tuberculosis infection, or at high risk for latent TB infection, or a positive t-spot tuberculosis test
  • Known hypersensitivity to one or more of the study agents, including baricitinib.
  • Must not have myelofibrosis or other disease known to prolong neutrophil engraftment to \> 35 days after transplant.
  • Currently receiving or has received any investigational drugs within the 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug (Day -3).
  • Pregnant and/or breastfeeding.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, autoimmune disease, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, unstable cardiac arrhythmias, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Immunosuppressive doses of steroids. Subjects with steroids for adrenal insufficiency will not be excluded.
  • History of unprovoked thrombosis or known thrombophilia. Provoked and/or superficial DVTs are eligible provided they are treated and resolved at the time of screening.
  • Recent (less than 1 year from screening) myocardial infarction or embolic stroke
