About this study

Official title: 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

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.

Read the detailed description

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

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Spleen Volume Response Rate (RR)

    Percentage of participants who have ≥ 35% spleen volume reduction (SVR) at end of cycle 6

    A Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) test to adjust for planned stratification factors (spleen size by palpation, platelet counts and refractory/relapsed or intolerance to ruxolitinib treatment).

    The RRs and 95% confidence intervals (CI) will be provided for each arm as well as for the difference in RRs and 95% confidence interval of the difference for fedratinib to BAT.

    Measured: From Screening to end of Cycle 6 (1 cycle = 28 days), approximately 196 days

Secondary outcomes (14)
  1. Symptom Response Rate (SRR)

    Percentage of participants with ≥ 50% reduction in total symptom scores measured by Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment Form (MFSAF) 4.0 at end of cycle 6.

    Subjects with a missing TSS at the end of cycle 6 or who had disease progression before the end of the cycle 6 will be considered non-responders.

    MFSAF measures the sum of 7 symptoms on a scale from 0 to 10 (0 being absent and 10 being the worst imagineable). The lower the score the better.

    A Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) test to adjust for planned stratification factors (spleen size by palpation, platelet counts and refractory/relapsed or intolerance to ruxolitinib treatment).

    The SRRs and 95% confidence intervals (CI) will be provided for each arm as well as for the difference in SRRs and 95% confidence interval of the difference for fedratinib to BAT.

    Measured: From Cycle 1 Dose 1 to end of Cycle 6, approximately 168 days

  2. Spleen Volume Response Rate (RR25)

    Percentage of participants who have ≥ 25% spleen volume reduction (SVR) at end of cycle 6

    A Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) test to adjust for planned stratification factors (spleen size by palpation, platelet counts and refractory/relapsed or intolerance to ruxolitinib treatment).

    The RRs and 95% confidence intervals (CI) will be provided for each arm as well as for the difference in RRs and 95% confidence interval of the difference for fedratinib to BAT.

    Measured: From Screening to end of Cycle 6 (1 cycle = 28 days), approximately 196 days

  3. Number of Participants With All Grade Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Grade 3 to 4 Treatment Emergent AEs

    Number of participants with all grade adverse events (AEs) and grade 3 to 4 AEs

    Measured: From Cycle 1 Dose 1 to end of Cycle 6, approximately 168 days

  4. Number of Participants With Hematology Laboratory Abnormalities

    Number of participants with hematology laboratory abnormalities in the following parameters: hemoglobin (decreased), leukocytes (increase and decrease), lymphocytes (decreased), neutrophils (segmented and band form decreased), Platelets (decreased).

    Measured: From Cycle 1 Dose 1 to end of Cycle 6, approximately 168 days

  5. Spleen Response Rate by Palpation (RRP)

    Spleen response rate by palpation is the percentage of participants at the end of cycle 6 with a spleen response according to the IWG-MRT 2013 criteria.

    A baseline splenomegaly that is palpable at 5-10 cm, below the LCM, becomes not palpable or A baseline splenomegaly that is palpable at > 10 cm, below the LCM, decreases by ≥ 50%

    Participants with a missing spleen size assessment at the end of cycle 6 including those who meet the criteria for progression of splenomegaly before end of cycle 6 will be considered not to be responders.

    Measured: From Cycle 1 Dose 1 to end of Cycle 6, approximately 168 days

  6. Durability of Spleen Volume Response (DR)

    Durability of spleen volume response (DR) by MRI/CT is defined as the date from the first documented spleen response (ie, ≥ 35% reduction in spleen volume) to the date of subsequent progressive disease (PD) in spleen volume per the IWG-MRT 2013 criteria or death, whichever is earlier. In the absence of an event before the analysis is performed, the DR will be censored at the date of the last valid assessment performed before the analysis performed date.

    Measured: From baseline to end of treatment visit, Approximately on average 53 weeks up to 151 weeks.

  7. Durability of Spleen Response by Palpation (DRP)

    Durability of spleen response by palpation (DRP) is defined as time from the date of the first documented palpable spleen response, according to the IWG-MRT 2013 to the date of the subsequent PD in spleen size according to the IWG-MRT 2013 or death, whichever is earlier. Durability of spleen response by palpation according to the IWG-MRT 2013 criteria will be calculated for subjects that have an enlarged spleen at baseline (≥ 5 cm below LCM), and that have a spleen response by palpation. In the absence of an event before the analysis is performed, the DRP will be censored at the date of the last valid assessment performed before the analysis performed date.

    Measured: From baseline to end of treatment visit, Approximately on average 53 weeks up to 151 weeks.

  8. Durability of Symptoms Response (DSR)

    The DSR is defined as time from the first documented response in TSS (ie, reduction in TSS ≥ 50%) measured by MFSAF version 4.0 to the first documented TSS reduction < 50%. In the absence of TSS reduction < 50% before the analysis performed, the DSR will be censored at the date of the last valid assessment performed before the analysis performed date.

    Measured: From baseline to end of treatment visit, Approximately on average 53 weeks up to 151 weeks.

  9. Assessment of the Effectiveness of Risk Mitigation Strategy for ≥3 Grade Gastrointestinal Adverse Events and Any Grade Wernickes Encephalopathy

    Number of participants with a CTCAE Grade ≥3 of nausea, diarrhea, or vomiting and any grade wernickes encephalopathy.

  10. Number of Participants With Thiamine Levels Below the Lower Limit of Normal

    Number of participants with thiamine levels below the lower limit of normal

    Measured: From Cycle 1 Dose 1 to end of Cycle 6, approximately 168 days

  11. Mean Change in EORTC QOL-C30 at Cycle 7 Day 1 as Compared With Baseline

    QLQ-C30 - The EORTC QLQ-C30 was developed to assess the quality of life of cancer patients. It consists of 30 items classified into 15 domains including 5 functional subscales (physical functioning, role functioning, emotional functioning, cognitive functioning, and social functioning); 3 multi-item symptom subscales (fatigue, nausea/vomiting, and pain); a global QOL subscale; and 6 single items addressing various symptoms and perceived financial impact. Scores vary from 0 (worst) to 100 (best) for the functional dimensions and GHS, and from 0 (best) to 100 (worst) for the symptom dimensions.

    Measured: from the start of cycle 1 to cycle 7 day 1 approximately 170 days.

  12. Mean Change From Baseline in EQ-5D-5L Utility Index Score

    EQ-5D-5L - The EQ-5D-5L is a generic, self-administered preference-based measure of health. The five dimensions covered by the EQ-5D-5L include mobility, self-care, pain, usual activities, and anxiety/depression and is converted into a single summary index that can range from -0.594 to 1.0, with a score of 0 indicating death, 1.00 indicating "full health," and negative scores reflecting states perceived to be worse than death. Respondent's self-rated health on a vertical, 0 to 100 scale where 100 = "Best imaginable health state" and 0 = "Worst imaginable health state"

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing FEDRATINIB and Best Available Therapy (BAT) in people with Primary Myelofibrosis and Post-Polycythemia Vera, run by Celgene at 107 sites in 16 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 20 inclusion and 33 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Aug 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 107 sites in Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Russia and 11 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Jan 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Spleen Volume Response Rate (RR) (time frame: From Screening to end of Cycle 6 (1 cycle = 28 days), approximately 196 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03952039, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Aug 2025.
