An Efficacy and Safety Study of Fedratinib Compared to Best Available Therapy in Subjects With DIPSS-intermediate or High-risk Primary Myelofibrosis, Post-polycythemia Vera Myelofibrosis, or Post-essential Thrombocythemia Myelofibrosis and Previously Treated With Ruxolitinib

Study Purpose

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.

Additional Details

This Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, two-arm, open-label study will include subjects with intermediate or high-risk (as per the DIPSS score) primary myelofibrosis (PMF), postpolycythemia vera myelofibrosis (post-PV MF), or post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis (post-ET MF). This study will be conducted in compliance with International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practices (GCPs). Study design includes:

- A 28-day Screening Period.

- 2:1 Randomization to fedratinib or best available therapy (BAT) - Stratification at Randomization according to: - Spleen size by palpation: < 15 cm below left costal margin (LCM) versus ≥ 15 cm below LCM.

- Platelets ≥ 50 to < 100 x 109/L versus platelets ≥ 100 x 109/L.

- Refractory or relapsed to ruxolitinib treatment versus intolerant to ruxolitinib treatment.

- Study Treatment Period (time on study drug plus 30 days after last dose) - Subjects are allowed to crossover from BAT to the fedratinib arm after the Cycle 6 response assessment or before the Cycle 6 response assessment in the event of a confirmed progression of splenomegaly by MRI/CT scan.

- A Survival Follow-up Period for progression and survival

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: Fedratinib 400mg/day
