Detailed Description
This is a pilot, single arm, single center study with no stratification to assess the safety (measured by graft failure or death) and feasibility (measured by adequacy of stem cell collection) of combining ruxolitinib with autologous Hematopoeitic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) in patients with advanced myelofibrosis (MF). Patients will receive a short course of ruxolitinib prior to and during mobilization of HSCT with Filgrastim. Conditioning for the autologous HSCT will consist of Bulsulfan. Post-transplant patients will receive ruxolitinib maintenance.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Ruxolitinib / INC 424 Ruxolitinib, Jakafi ®, will be given orally at standard dose daily for 16 weeks pre ASCT and up to 3 months post-ASCT for 10 patients (allowing for 2 additional screen failures). Patients will restart ruxolitinib at 100 days after the ASCT as long as their platelet count is at least 50 x103. For patients whose platelet count is below 50 x103 at day 100, ruxolitinib should be restarted once platelet count reaches 50 x103. The dose of ruxolitinib can be titrated up as per clinical guidelines. PBSC mobilization will include G-CSF 10 mcg/kg/day. HDC for ASCT will consist of IV busulfan 2.0 mg/KBW once daily x 4 for days -5 to -2. |
Drug: RUXOLITINIB / INC 424
Administered orally 5-20 mg twice daily x 16 weeks of therapy prior to attempted peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) collection, during the collection and rest period and 3 months of therapy after high dose chemotherapy (HDC).
Other Names:
Drug: Filgrastim
Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) will be mobilized with filgrastim 10 mcg/kg/day IV
Other Names:
Drug: Busulfan
Conditioning for autologous Hematopoeitic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) will consist of IV busulfan 2.0 mg/KBW once daily x 4 for days -5 to -2

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Safety of combining ruxolitinib with autologous HSCT measured by graft failure or death [2 years]
Safety of this approach as measured by graft failure or death
Secondary Outcome Measures
- CD34 cells [4 years]
Total CD34+ cell dose will be calculated based on results of flow cytometric analysis and patient's weight.
- The regimen related mortality (RRM) [day 100]
- The regimen related mortality (RRM) [day 365]
- Rate of engraftment/graft failure [4 years]
- Time of engraftment for neutrophils and platelets [4 years]
- The incidence of serious infectious complications [up to 1 year post transplant]
- Changes in marrow fibrosis score [at 180 and 365 days post-transplant]
The myelofibrosis score will be assessed as per the European Consensus Grading published by Thiele Grading Description at 365 days as compared to 180 days
- Change in FISH allele [at 365 days post-transplant]
Changes in FISH abnormalities when present will be measured by cytogenetics.
- Change in JAK allele [at 365 days post-transplant]
Changes in Jak 2 V617F allele burden when present will be measured by quantitative RT-PCR
- Rate of response [at 6 months post-transplant]
Overall efficacy will be rated on a scale as complete remission, partial remission, clinical improvement, or stable disease
- Rate of response [at 1 year post-transplant]
Overall efficacy will be rated on a scale as complete remission, partial remission, clinical improvement, or stable disease
