A Phase I/II Study of the JAK1/2 Inhibitor Ruxolitinib for Relapsed / Refractory Immune Bone Marrow Failure

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Drug
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
SUMMARY

Background: Immune bone marrow failure is a condition that occurs when a person s immune system attacks the cells of the bone marrow. This can lead to diseases including different types of anemias and blood cancers. Some of these diseases can be deadly. Better treatments are needed.

Objective: To test a drug (ruxolitinib) in people with different types of immune bone marrow failure.

Eligibility: Adults aged 18 and older with an immune bone marrow failure.

Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam. They will give samples of blood and saliva. They will have a bone marrow biopsy: A large needle will be inserted into a small cut to remove a sample of the soft tissue inside the bone. Some participants may have a skin biopsy: A small piece of skin will be removed. Some may have a computed tomography (CT) scan: They will lie on a table that slides into a donut-shaped machine that uses X-rays to make pictures of the inside of the body. Ruxolitinib is a tablet taken by mouth. Participants will take the drug twice a day for up to 6 months. Participants will have blood tests every week while they are taking the drug. These tests can be done by the participant s own physician and the results sent to the researchers. Participants will have clinic visits after taking the drug for 3 months and 6 months and then after 1, 2, and 3 years. The blood tests and bone marrow biopsy will be repeated. Participants who improve while taking the drugs may go on to an extension phase of the study.

⁃ ALL COHORTS:

⁃ Ability of the participant or legally authorized representative (LAR) to understand and be willing to sign a written informed consent document

⁃ Age 18 or older

⁃ For females of childbearing potential, stated willingness to use an accepted method of contraception for the duration of the study. Accepted methods of contraception are:

∙ Total abstinence

‣ Use of an implanted or intrauterine hormonal device for at least 30 consecutive days before study drug administration

‣ Use of oral, patch or injectable contraceptives or a vaginal hormonal device for at least 30 consecutive days before study drug infusion

‣ Use of a non-hormonal intrauterine device for at least 30 consecutive days before study drug administration

‣ Two barrier methods such as a diaphragm with spermicide or a condom with spermicide

⁃ For sexually active males with a female partner of childbearing potential, stated willingness to agree to use a condom with spermicide for the duration of the study.

⁃ Diagnosis of immune bone marrow failure (see specific cohort)

⁃ COHORT 1: RELAPSED/REFRACTORY SAA:

⁃ Meet all 3 criteria below:

⁃ Severe aplastic anemia\*:

• Bone marrow cellularity \<30% excluding lymphocytes

⁃ AND

⁃ At least two of the following:

⁃ Absolute neutrophil count \< 0.5 x 10\^9/L

⁃ Platelet count \< 20 x 10\^9/L

⁃ Absolute Reticulocyte count \< 60 x 10\^9/L

∙ Relapsed or refractory disease as evidenced by a course of at least 1 prior therapy.

‣ Not suitable for transplant due to age, co-morbidities, lack of suitable donor, or participant choice.

• Patients who have a documented historic diagnosis of SAA and have received an ATG-based therapy in the past and are now relapsed / refractory may be included in this cohort even if documentation of original CBC and bone marrow are unavailable.

⁃ COHORT 2: RELAPSED/REFRACTORY MODERATE AA:

⁃ Moderate AA:

⁃ Aplastic anemia (hypocellular bone marrow for age) with no evidence for other disease processes causing marrow failure, and depression of at least two out of three blood counts below the normal values but not fulfilling the criteria for SAA:

∙ Absolute neutrophil count \<= l.2 x 10\^9/L

‣ Platelet count \<= 70 x 10\^9/L

‣ Anemia with hemoglobin \<= 9 g/dL and absolute reticulocyte count \< 60 x 10\^9/L or transfusion dependence

⁃ Relapsed or refractory disease as evidenced by a course of at least 1 prior therapy.

⁃ COHORT 3: RELAPSED/REFRACTORY UNILINEAGE BONE MARROW FAILURE DISORDERS:

⁃ Cytopenia in lineage as below:

• Erythroid lineage: Hemoglobin \<= 9 g/dL and reticulocyte count \< 60 x 10\^9/L or red cell transfusion dependence and hypocellular bone marrow for age with absent or reduced red cell precursors

⁃ OR

⁃ Platelet lineage: Thrombocytopenia \<= 30 x 10\^9/L or platelet transfusion dependence and hypocellular bone marrow for age with absent or reduced megakaryocytes

⁃ OR

⁃ Granulocyte lineage: Neutropenia \<= 0.5 x 10\^9/L and hypocellular bone marrow for age with absent or reduced granulopoiesis

⁃ No evidence of viral or drug suppression of the marrow, T-LGL, dysplasia, or underproduction anemias secondary to B12, folate, iron or other reversible causes.

⁃ Relapsed or refractory disease as evidenced by a course of at least 1 prior therapy.

⁃ COHORT 4: RELAPSED/REFRACTORY T-LGL WITH CYTOPENIAS:

⁃ Clinical history supportive of the diagnosis of T-LGL leukemia (i.e., a history of cytopenias with peripheral blood morphologic evidence of LGLs).

⁃ Immunophenotypic studies of peripheral blood showing an increased population of T-LGLs (suggested by staining with CD3+, CD8+ and CD16+ or CD57+) or gamma-delta T cells.

⁃ Restricted or clonal rearrangement of the T-cell receptor by PCR

⁃ AND cytopenia as follows:

⁃ Severe neutropenia (\< 0.5 x 10\^9/L);

⁃ OR

⁃ Severe thrombocytopenia (\<= 20 x 10\^9/L), or moderate thrombocytopenia (\<= 50 x 10\^9/L) with active bleeding;

⁃ OR

⁃ Symptomatic anemia with a hemoglobin \<= 9 g/dL or red blood cell transfusion dependence

• Relapsed or refractory disease as evidenced by a course of at least 1 prior therapy.
