Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional(has expanded access)
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - FEDRATINIB
Treatment: Drugs - Best Available Therapy (BAT)

Experimental: Fedratinib 400mg/day - Will include up to 128 subjects receiving fedratinib 400 mg self-administered Investigational Product (IP) on an outpatient basis, once daily preferably together with food during an evening meal at the same time each day in consecutive 4-week (28-day) cycles.

Active comparator: Best Available Therapy (BAT) - Best-available Investigator-selected therapy included a number of available compounds to treat MF and/or its symptoms and was chosen by the investigator for each subject. Therapy changed at different times during the treatment period. No investigational agents (e.g. not approved for the treatment of any indication) were allowed. BAT also included the choice of no treatment.


Treatment: Drugs: FEDRATINIB

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

Summary
Brief 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.
