First-line treatment for patients with polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and pre-myelofibrosis is based on hydroxyurea or pegylated interferon. The objective of treatment is to prevent thrombotic complications and leukemic transformation. Despite overall good response rates, some patients do not respond to treatment and others lose their response over time. Both situations are associated with worse survival and there are to date no clear predictive factors for response although the existence of additional mutations seems unfavorable. In this exploratory study, we hypothesize that biological factors at diagnosis are associated with hematological response at 12 months. We will more specifically study the association between mutational profile, assessed by next-generation sequencing, and cytokine profile with hematological response. This study will help in identifying patients who will not respond to hydroxyurea or pegylated interferon and give the opportunity to try other treatments upfront, in the perspective of precision medicine. On the basic science side, this study will help in understanding the molecular and immunological factors involved in resistance to treatment.
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety of parsaclisib when combined with ruxolitinb versus placebo combined with ruxolitinib in participants with myelofibrosis who have suboptimal response while receiving ruxolitinib monotherapy.
The only curative treatment in patients with primary or secondary myelofibrosis is allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells (HSCT). It has been reported that intermediate and higher risk patients according to international prognostic scores benefit from HSCT in terms of survival (Kröger et al, 2015). In 2013, we conducted in France a prospective trial testing the use of ruxolitinib before transplantation ("JAK-ALLO study" NCT01795677). Outcome of patients was better in patients transplanted with a matched sibling donor than an unrelated donor confirming other studies (Kröger et al, 2009; Rondelli et al, 2014). In the JAK-ALLO trial, acute GVHD incidence was high, often hyperacute and severe. Recently, the EBMT group has reported a registry study on familial haplo-identical transplantation (haplo) in patients with myelofibrosis (Raj et al, 2018). Post-transplant cyclophosphamide was used in 59% of cases. One-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were 61 and 58% which favorably compared to outcome after unrelated transplantation. Genova team has also reported impressive results after haplo-identical transplantation in their center (Bregante et al, 2015). Bregante et al have reported outcome of 2 cohorts transplanted from 2000 to 2010 and from 2011 to 2014. The main difference between the 2 periods is the more frequent use of haplo in the second period (54% versus 5%). Outcome was much better in the second period with OS at 70% versus 49% and authors suggest that this improvement is related to the best outcome among haplo transplantation. The improvement of outcome after haplo has been attributed to a better GVHD prophylaxis, especially with the use of post-transplant cyclophosphamide. Given the poor outcome after unrelated transplantation and especially in HLA mismatched unrelated setting and encouraging results in family haplo identical transplantation, this current study proposes to test haplo-identical transplantation in myelofibrosis patients without a matched related donor. The main objective of this study is disease and rejection-free survival one year after haplo-identical transplantation in patients with primary or secondary myelofibrosis.
This is a study of allogeneic stem cell transplantation with TBX-2400 in adult subjects with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) or Myelofibrosis (MF). The donor cells are exposed to a protein that has been shown in the laboratory to improve the ability of the donor cells to make blood and immune cells after transplant. Exposure of the donor cells to this protein does not modify the genes in the cells in any way. This study has two goals. The first goal is to find out if transplant with TBX-2400 is safe. The second goal is to find out what effects TBX-2400 stem cells have on time to engraftment in adult subjects with AML or MF. The study hypothesis is that TBX-2400 cells will shorten the time to immune reconstitution after transplant.
Recently, it has been demonstrated that iron overload is associated with the appearance of labile plasma iron (LPI). LPI is redox active and is rapidly taken up by cells, leading to a rise in the labile iron pool (LIP) and catalyzing generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can lead to cellular damage. The LPI data are mostly derived from thalassemia iron overload research , however, there are a few data describing LPI and its correlations with the classical iron overload parameters (ferritin, TSAT) in acute anemias such as MDS Therefore we are going to assess LPI in iron overloaded myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) (low and high risk) and primary myelofibrosis, in order to assess whether it can be used as alternative to the routinely used parameters; TSAT and ferritin levels.
