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

Experimental: Imetelstat - Participants will receive imetelstat sodium at 9.4 mg/kg intravenous (IV) every 21 days (±3 days), until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, treatment discontinuation or study end.

Active comparator: Best Available Therapy (BAT) - Participants will receive BAT (investigator-selected non-JAK-inhibitor treatment), until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, treatment discontinuation or study end.

Participants on BAT who meet protocol-defined criteria for progressive disease may crossover to receive imetelstat treatment after sponsor's approval.


Treatment: Drugs: Imetelstat
Imetelstat sodium will be given intravenously at 9.4 mg/kg every 21 days, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, treatment discontinuation or study end.

Treatment: Drugs: Best Available Therapy (BAT)
Non-JAK-inhibitor treatment will be given, which may include but is not limited to hydroxyurea, thalidomide or an analog of thalidomide, interferon, danazol, hypomethylating agents, chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
* Diagnosis of primary myelofibrosis according to the revised World Health Organization criteria or post-essential thrombocythemia-MF or post-polycythemia vera-MF according to the IWG-MRT criteria
* Dynamic International Prognostic Scoring System intermediate-2 or high-risk MF
* Relapsed/refractory to JAK-inhibitor treatment as defined in either inclusion (i), (ii) or (iii) and not eligible for allogeneic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) at screening:

* (i) Treatment with JAK-inhibitor for >= 6 months duration, including at least 2 months at an optimal dose as assessed by the investigator for that participant and at least one of the following:

1. no decrease in spleen volume (< 10% by MRI or CT) from the start of treatment with JAK-inhibitor
2. no decrease in spleen size (< 30% by palpation or length by imaging) from the start of treatment with JAK-inhibitor
3. no decrease in symptoms (< 20% by Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment Form [MFSAF] or myeloproliferative neoplasm SAF) from the start of treatment with JAK-inhibitor
4. a score of at least 15 on TSS assessed using the MFSAF v4.0 during screening.
* (ii) Treatment with JAK-inhibitor treatment for>= 3 months duration with maximal doses (e.g., 20-25 mg twice daily ruxolitinib) for that participant and no decrease in spleen volume/size or symptoms as defined in inclusion criterion (i [a, b, or c]).
* (iii) Following maximum tolerated doses of JAK inhibitor therapy for =3 months duration, having documented relapsed disease defined as either

1. Increase in spleen volume from time of best response by 25% measured by MRI or CT, or
2. Increase in spleen size by palpation, CT, or ultrasound

* (b.i) For splenomegaly of 5-10 cm at the start of JAK inhibitor treatment, at least 100% increase in palpable spleen size from time of best response;
* (b.ii) For splenomegaly of > 10 cm at the start of JAK inhibitor treatment, at least 50% increase in palpable spleen size from time of best response;

AND not a candidate for further JAK inhibitor at screening per investigator.

* Measurable splenomegaly demonstrated by a palpable spleen measuring >= 5 cm below the left costal margin or a spleen volume >= 450 cm^3 by MRI or CT
* Active symptoms of MF on the MFSAF v4.0 demonstrated by a symptom score of at least 5 points (on a 0 to 10 scale)

* Peripheral blood blast count of >= 10% or bone marrow blast count of >=10%
* Known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to imetelstat or its excipients
* Prior treatment with imetelstat
