Clinical summary
Summary
Eligible patients will be randomised to one of two groups (Arm A or Arm B). Patients in Arm A will receive navitoclax tablets once daily and ruxolitinib tablets twice daily; and patients in Arm B will receive one of the best available therapy options, determined by the investigator.
Conditions
This trial is treating people with myelofibrosis
Eligibility
Inclusion
-
Must complete the Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment Form (MFSAF) v4.0 on at least 4 out of the 7 days immediately prior to the date of randomization and must agree to collect MFSAF data daily by ePRO device during the study collection window.
-- Has at least 2 symptoms each with an average score >= 3 or an average total score of >= 12, as measured by the MFSAF v4.0.
- Documented diagnosis of primary myelofibrosis (MF) as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) classification, post polycythemia vera (PPV)-MF, or post essential thrombocytopenia (PET)-MF, characterized by bone marrow fibrosis grades 2 or 3.
- Classified as intermediate-2 or high-risk MF, as defined by the Dynamic International Prognostic Scoring System Plus (DIPSS+).
-
Must currently be on treatment or have received prior treatment with a single Janus Kinase 2 (JAK2) inhibitor, ruxolitinib, and meet one of the following criteria (in addition to the minimum splenomegaly and symptom burden also required for eligibility):
Note: Participant must not require a ruxolitinib dose less than 10 mg BID (20 mg daily) due to prior history of ruxolitinibrelated ≥ Grade 3 toxicity.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2.
- Splenomegaly defined as palpable spleen measurement >= 5 cm below left costal margin or spleen volume >= 450 cm3 as assessed centrally by MRI or CT scan.
- Baseline platelet count >= 100 × 10^9/L.
Exclusion
- Received prior treatment with a BH3-mimetic compound, bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) inhibitor, or prior use of > 1 JAK2 inhibitor or stem cell transplant.
- Eligible for stem cell transplantation at the time of study entry.
- Receiving medication that interferes with coagulation or platelet function within 3 days prior to the first dose of study drug or during the study treatment period except for low dose aspirin (up to 100 mg daily) and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH).
- Receiving anticancer therapy for an active malignancy or MF including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy such that at least 5 half-lives of that medication is completed at least 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug or within 30 days prior to first dose of study drug, whichever is shorter, and during the study treatment period (other than any overlapping therapy as part of the selected BAT).
