An Efficacy and Safety Study of Fedratinib Compared to Best Available Therapy in Subjects With DIPSS-intermediate or High-risk Primary Myelofibrosis, Post-polycythemia Vera Myelofibrosis, or Post-essential Thrombocythemia Myelofibrosis and Previousl

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2024-12-23
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

A Phase 3, multicenter, open-label, randomized study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fedratinib compared to best available therapy (BAT) in subjects with DIPSS (Dynamic International Prognostic Scoring System)-intermediate or high-risk primary myelofibrosis (PMF), post-polycythemia vera myelofibrosis (post-PV MF), or post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis (post-ET MF) and previously treated with ruxolitinib. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the percentage of subjects with at least 35% spleen volume reduction in the fedratinib and the BAT arms.

• Phase: Phase 3

Inclusion Criteria:

4. Subject has a DIPSS Risk score of Intermediate-2 or High

5. Subject has a measurable splenomegaly during the screening period as demonstrated by spleen volume of ≥ 450 cm3 by MRI or CT-scan and by palpable spleen measuring ≥ 5 cm below the left costal margin

6. Subject has a measurable total symptoms score (≥ 1) as measured by the Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment Form (MFSAF)

7. Subject has been previously exposed to ruxolitinib, and must meet at least one of the following criteria (a and/or b)

1. Treatment with ruxolitinib for ≥ 3 months with inadequate efficacy response (refractory) defined as < 10% spleen volume reduction by MRI or < 30% decrease from baseline in spleen size by palpation or regrowth (relapsed) to these parameters following an initial response

2. Treatment with ruxolitinib for ≥ 28 days complicated by any of the following (intolerant):

• Development of a red blood cell transfusion requirement (at least 2 units/month for 2 months) or

• Grade ≥ 3 AEs of thrombocytopenia, anemia, hematoma, and/or hemorrhage while on treatment with ruxolitinib

8. Subject must have treatment-related toxicities from prior therapy resolved to Grade 1 or pretreatment baseline before start of last therapy prior to randomization

9. Subject must understand and voluntarily sign an ICF prior to any study-related assessments/procedures being conducted

10. Subject is willing and able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements

11. A female of childbearing potential (FCBP) must:

1. Have 2 negative pregnancy tests as verified by the Investigator during screening prior to starting study treatment. She must agree to ongoing pregnancy testing during the course of the study, and after end of study treatment. This applies even if the subject practices true abstinence from heterosexual contact.

2. Either commit to true abstinence from heterosexual contact (which must be reviewed on a monthly basis and source documented) or agree to use and be able to comply with highly effective contraception without interruption, -14 days prior to starting investigational product, during the study treatment (including dose interruptions), and for 30 days after discontinuation of study treatment.

Note: A female of childbearing potential (FCBP) is a female who: 1) has achieved menarche at some point, 2) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy, or 3) has not been naturally postmenopausal (amenorrhea following cancer therapy does not rule out childbearing potential) for at least 24 consecutive months (ie, has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months).

12. A male subject must:

Practice true abstinence (which must be reviewed on a monthly basis) or agree to use a condom during sexual contact with a pregnant female or a female of childbearing potential while participating in the study, during dose interruptions and for at least 30 days following investigational product discontinuation, or longer if required for each compound and/or by local regulations, even if he has undergone a successful vasectomy

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Any of the following laboratory abnormalities:

1. Platelets < 50 x 109/L

2. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 1.0 x 109/L

3. White blood count (WBC) > 100 x 109/L

4. Myeloblasts ≥ 5 % in peripheral blood

5. Estimated glomerular filtration rate < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 (as per the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease [MDRD] formula)

7. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 3 x upper limit of normal (ULN)

8. Total bilirubin > 1.5 x ULN, subject's total bilirubin between 1.5 - 3.0 x ULN are eligible if the direct bilirubin fraction is < 25% of the total bilirubin
