What this Trial Is About

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a serious complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, affecting survival and quality of life. Acute GVHD usually occurs within 100 days post-transplant, involving the skin, gastrointestinal tract, and liver, while chronic GVHD can develop months to years later. Despite current treatments like calcineurin inhibitors and post-transplant cyclophosphamide, recipients of haploidentical transplants from parous female donors remain at high risk for moderate-to-severe acute GVHD. This trial studies the effect of adding a selective JAK1 inhibitor, Ivarmacitinib, to standard low-dose ATG and cyclophosphamide to reduce GVHD in this high-risk group. Participants will receive rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) at 2.5 mg/kg on days -2 and -1 before transplant, cyclophosphamide 50 mg/kg on day +3, and begin cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil on day +4. Ivarmacitinib, an oral JAK1 inhibitor, will be given at 4 mg daily from day -3 to +45, then reduced to 2 mg daily from day +46 to +60. This combination aims to prevent acute GVHD while preserving necessary immune functions. The study is a prospective, single-arm, multicenter trial focused on haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation from parous female donors. During the study, participants will be monitored for acute GVHD incidence up to 180 days post-transplant, graft failure by day 28, and non-relapse mortality by day 180. Assessments include regular clinical evaluations, laboratory tests, and safety monitoring. Participants are expected to comply with follow-up visits and related examinations throughout the study duration. The trial seeks to improve GVHD prevention and overall transplant outcomes in this high-risk population.

  • Diagnosed with hematologic malignancies such as acute leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or malignant lymphoma
  • Planned to undergo haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation
  • Donor must be a haploidentical relative within three degrees of kinship and a parous female aged 18 to 55 years, healthy and cleared by donor screening
  • Karnofsky performance status of 70 or higher
  • Adequate organ function: normal cardiac and pulmonary function; liver enzymes ALT/AST less than 2 times upper limit; total bilirubin less than 1.5 times upper limit; creatinine clearance greater than 50 mL/min
  • No active infection prior to transplantation or infection effectively controlled
  • Stable chronic infections such as HBV, HCV, or syphilis under treatment; HBV DNA negative or receiving antiviral therapy acceptable
  • No significant psychiatric disorders; able to understand and voluntarily consent
  • Signed informed consent and agrees to comply with follow-up and examinations
Not Eligible

You will not qualify if you...

  • Prior hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (autologous or allogeneic)
  • Presence of donor-specific antibodies with mean fluorescence intensity 5000 or higher
  • History of severe allergy to JAK inhibitors or investigational drug
  • Prior treatment with JAK1/2 inhibitors
  • Uncontrolled comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes complications, or active gastrointestinal bleeding increasing risk
  • Receipt of other investigational drugs within 2 weeks prior to transplantation (excluding standard chemotherapy)
  • Simultaneous participation in other interventional clinical studies
  • Any condition deemed unsuitable by investigator including poor compliance or inability to complete follow-up due to psychiatric disorders
