Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Drug
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Phase 2
SUMMARY

In this open-label single arm phase 2 study, approximately 20 patients with MF demonstrating suboptimal response to ruxolitinib monotherapy will be enrolled. Patients will continue to receive ruxolitinib at a stable dose and ropeginterferon alfa 2b will be added to the regimen.

• Women of childbearing potential and fertile men must agree to use an approved method of contraception from screening until 30 days after the last dose of ropeginterferon and ruxolitinib.

• Patients with suboptimal response to ruxolitinib as per one of the below:

• i. Relapsed: Ruxolitinib treatment for ≥3 months with spleen regrowth, defined as \<10% SVR or \<30% decrease in spleen size from baseline, following an initial response\* ii. Refractory: Ruxolitinib treatment for ≥3 months with \<10% SVR or \<30% decrease in spleen size from baseline.

• \* Response to ruxolitinib is defined as a ≥35% reduction in spleen volume from baseline, or a ≥50% reduction in spleen size for baseline spleen sizes \>10 cm below left costal margin (LCM); a non-palpable spleen for baseline spleen sizes between 5-10 cm below LCM; or not eligible for spleen response for baseline spleen \<5 cm below LCM.

Participants
Target number of participants: 20
Treatments
Experimental: Ropeginterferon alfa 2b
Ropeginterferon alfa 2b is administered subcutaneously once every 2 weeks in addition to standard of care with Ruxolitinib which will be self-administered orally as described below. Both medications will continue uninterrupted in 28-day cycles. Subjects will continue combination treatment through the Initial Treatment Period (ITP) (first 6 cycles), which includes a Qualification Assessment. Those deriving clinical benefit in the opinion of the treating physician may continue receiving combination treatment in the Additional Treatment Period (6 cycles). Qualification Assessments will be performed at the end of each Additional Treatment Period, which is iterative, and may repeat for as long as clinical benefit is sustained, at the discretion of the treating physician.
