Summary

This trial is testing whether a drug can help prevent a condition where the transplanted cells from a donor can attack the body's normal cells and improve transplant outcomes in patients with primary and secondary myelofibrosis.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with primary or secondary myelofibrosis, classified as intermediate-1, -2, or high-risk. Participants must have used ruxolitinib for at least 8 weeks before the transplant and be able to continue post-transplant. They should not have severe kidney or liver problems, uncontrolled infections, HIV, or be pregnant. A suitable stem cell donor is required.
What is being tested?
The study tests if ruxolitinib given before, during, and after a stem cell transplant can prevent graft versus host disease and improve outcomes in myelofibrosis patients. It involves chemotherapy drugs like Melphalan and Fludarabine followed by transplantation of donor stem cells.
What are the potential side effects?
Ruxolitinib may cause side effects such as anemia (low red blood cells), bruising/bleeding issues due to low platelets, dizziness/fainting from low blood pressure; other drugs involved also carry risks of infection risk increase and organ damage.
