An Open Label, Phase 1/1b Study to Evaluate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Clinical Activity of Imetelstat in Combination With Ruxolitinib in Patients With Myelofibrosis
The purpose of the study is to identify the recommended Part 2 dose (R2PD) of imetelstat sodium in combination with ruxolitinib in participants with myelofibrosis (MF) in Part 1, and to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of the R2PD of imetelstat sodium in combination with ruxolitinib or other Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibitors in participants with MF in Part 2.
• Diagnosis of primary myelofibrosis (PMF) according to the revised World Health Organization (WHO) criteria or post-essential thrombocythemia-MF or post-polycythemia vera according to the International Working Group for Myelofibrosis Research and Treatment (IWG-MRT) criteria.
• Dynamic International Prognostic Scoring System (DIPSS) intermediate-1, intermediate-2 or high-risk MF.
• Candidate for ruxolitinib treatment:
‣ Part 1 participants: On ruxolitinib treatment for at least 12 weeks with at least 4 consecutive weeks immediately prior to enrollment at a stable dose.
⁃ Part 2 participants: Candidate for ruxolitinib treatment as assessed by the investigator and has not previously been treated with a JAK inhibitor (Cohort A) OR currently receiving JAK inhibitor treatment per standard of care for at least 12 weeks (maximum 48 weeks) with at least 4 consecutive weeks at a stable dose prior to enrollment (Cohort B).
• Clinical signs/symptoms of MF demonstrated by one of the following:
‣ Measurable splenomegaly demonstrated by either a palpable spleen measuring ≥5 cm below the left costal margin or a spleen volume ≥450 cm\^3 by MRI or CT, AND
⁃ active symptoms of MF on the MFSAF v4.0.
• Ineligible for or unwilling to undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplant at time of study entry.
• Hematology laboratory test values within protocol defined limits.
• Biochemical laboratory test values within protocol defined limits.
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status score of 0, 1, or 2.
• Participants should follow protocol defined contraceptives procedures.
• A woman of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test at screening.
