Clinical Trial: Ruxolitinib Before, During and After Hematopoietic Cell Transplant in Older Patients With Myelofibrosis and Myelodysplastic Syndrome/Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Overlap Syndromes

U.S., Nov. 15 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07228624) titled 'Ruxolitinib Before, During and After Hematopoietic Cell Transplant in Older Patients With Myelofibrosis and Myelodysplastic Syndrome/Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Overlap Syndromes' on Nov. 13.

Brief Summary: This phase II trial tests the effect of adding ruxolitinib to standard graft versus host disease (GVHD) prevention in treating older patients with myelofibrosis (MF) or myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MDS/MPN) overlap syndromes before, during, and after a donor (allogeneic) hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). Allogeneic HCT is a procedure in which a person receives blood-forming stem cells (cells from which...
