Clinical summary
Summary
Navitoclax is an investigational drug for the treatment of myelofibrosis. Participants in this study are divided into two groups, called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. Adult participants with a diagnosis of myelofibrosis will be enrolled. Eligible participants will receive an oral navitoclax tablet with an oral ruxolitinib tablet or oral ruxolitinib tablet with an oral placebo (no active drug) tablet and treatment may continue till the participant cannot tolerate the study drug, or benefit is not achieved, or other reasons which qualify for discontinuation of the study drug.
