A plain-language summary of the goals, design and what participants do
This clinical trial is focused on providing continued treatment for participants who have been previously enrolled in studies involving the medication Itacitinib (also known by its code name INCB039110). The diseases being studied in this trial include Myelofibrosis, a condition where scar tissue forms in the bone marrow, chronic graft-versus-host disease, which can occur after a stem cell or bone marrow transplant, and bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) that can develop after a lung transplant.
The purpose of this study is to continue evaluating the safety of Itacitinib for participants who are experiencing clinical benefits from this treatment. Participants will continue to receive the medication in tablet form, taken orally, as part of their ongoing care. The study is designed to monitor any side effects or adverse events that may occur while participants are on this medication.
Throughout the study, participants will have scheduled visits to ensure their treatment is progressing safely and effectively. The study aims to provide a seamless transition for those who have been benefiting from Itacitinib in previous trials, allowing them to continue their treatment under careful observation. The study is expected to run until 2027, ensuring long-term support and monitoring for participants.
The trial runs in 5 steps – from screening to follow-up. Each step says what happens and what the team monitors.

Itacitinib is a medication being studied for its potential to help people with certain medical conditions. It works by targeting specific pathways in the body that are involved in inflammation and immune responses. In this clinical trial, participants who have been benefiting from itacitinib in previous studies are given the opportunity to continue their treatment. The main goal is to ensure that the medication is safe and continues to provide benefits to those who are already experiencing positive effects from it.
Myelofibrosis is a rare bone marrow disorder characterized by the replacement of bone marrow with fibrous tissue. This process disrupts the body's ability to produce blood cells, leading to anemia, weakness, and fatigue. As the disease progresses, the spleen and liver may enlarge due to the increased workload of producing blood cells. Patients may experience symptoms such as night sweats, fever, and bone pain. Over time, myelofibrosis can lead to severe complications related to blood cell production. The disease can evolve into acute leukemia in some cases.
Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome is a condition that affects the small airways of the lungs following a lung transplant. It is characterized by inflammation and fibrosis, leading to the narrowing and obstruction of the airways. This results in a progressive decline in lung function, causing symptoms such as coughing, shortness of breath, and wheezing. The condition is a form of chronic lung allograft dysfunction and is a major cause of long-term morbidity in lung transplant recipients. Over time, the obstruction of airways can become severe, significantly impacting respiratory function. The progression of BOS can vary among individuals.
Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease is a complication that can occur after an allogeneic stem cell or bone marrow transplant. It arises when the donated immune cells attack the recipient's body tissues, recognizing them as foreign. This condition can affect multiple organs, including the skin, liver, and gastrointestinal tract, leading to symptoms such as skin rashes, jaundice, and digestive issues. The disease can also cause joint pain, dry eyes, and mouth, and can impact the quality of life. The severity and progression of symptoms can vary widely among patients. Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease can persist for months or even years.
