Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Pharmacokinetic, Pharmacogenetic, Efficacy, Others, Safety, Pharmacodynamic

Evaluate the effect of navitoclax alone or in combination with ruxolitinib on spleen volume

Secondary objectives 4

  1. To assess the effect of navitoclax alone or in combination with ruxolitinib on total symptom score (TSS) as assessed by the Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment Form (MFSAF) version 4.0 diary
  2. To evaluate the effect of navitoclax alone or in combination with ruxolitinib on bone marrow fibrosis
  3. To determine the rate of anemia response associated with navitoclax alone or in combination with ruxolitinib
  4. To describe the safety profile and PK profile observed with navitoclax alone or in combination with ruxolitinib

Cohort 2 only: Subject must have received prior treatment with JAK-2 inhibitor therapy for at least 12 weeks OR for ≥ 28 days complicated by development of red blood cell transfusion requirement (at least 2 units/month for 2 months) OR grade ≥ 3 adverse events of thrombocytopenia, anemia, hematoma and/or hemorrhage
  9. Cohort 3 only: Subject must not have received prior treatment with a JAK-2 or BET inhibitor
  10. Cohorts 1b and 3 only: Subject has at least 2 symptoms each with a score ≥ 3 or a total score of ≥ 12, as measured by the MFSAF v4.0 on at least 4 out of 7 days during screening prior to study drug dosing
