About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open-label, Phase I/II Open Platform Study Evaluating Safety and Efficacy of Novel Ruxolitinib Combinations in Myelofibrosis Patients

The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of combination treatment of ruxolitinib with 5 novel compounds: siremadlin, crizanlizumab, sabatolimab, rineterkib and NIS793 in myelofibrosis (MF) subjects.

Read the detailed description

This open-label, multi-center, Phase Ib/II platform study design consisted of 3 parts. Part 1 was a Phase Ib dose escalation and safety run-in for the 5 novel agents in combination with ruxolitinib to assess safety, tolerability and to confirm a recommended Phase II dose. Dose escalation cohorts were treated with ruxoltinib + siremadlin or ruxolitinib + rineterkib. Safety run-in cohorts were treated with either ruxolitinb + sabatolimab, ruxolitinb + crizanlizumab or ruxolitinib + NIS7913.

Parts 2 and 3 were Phase II selection and expansion, respectively, to assess preliminary efficacy of the combination treatments from Part 1 that were evaluated as safe and tolerable. The number of combination treatment arms opening in Part 2 depended on the results of Part 1. In Part 2, an interim analysis was planned to determine if combination treatment(s) could be expanded in Part 3.

In June 2022, Novartis decided to permanently halt the study enrollment in all ongoing parts (Part 1 and Part 2), and Part 3 (expansion) was not initiated. With Protocol Amendment 8, an extension treatment phase of 12 cycles was added in Part 1 to allow access to the combination treatment for ongoing subjects deriving clinical benefit. In consideration of the enrollment halt, Parts 2 and 3 objectives were not pursued, and Part 1 objectives were updated accordingly.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence and Severity of Dose Limiting Toxicities Within the First 2 Cycles in Part 1

    Incidence and severity of dose limiting toxicities within the first 2 cycles (6 or 8 weeks) in Part 1 of the study. DLTs were graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) criteria Version 5.0. Grade 0 was assigned for all non-missing values not graded as 1 or higher. Higher grade indicated more severity. Grade 5 was not used.

    Measured: Baseline to the end of Cycle 2 (6 or 8 weeks)

  2. Response Rate at the End of Cycle 6 or Cycle 8 in Part 1

    Composite of anemia improvement (hemoglobin level) and no spleen volume progression and no symptom worsening in Part 2 and Part 3 of the study. For a subject to be considered a responder, all three components of the composite had to be fulfilled.

    Measured: Baseline to the end of Cycle 6 or 8 (24 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (18)
  1. Percentage of Subjects Achieving an Improvement in Hemoglobin Level of ≥ 1.5 g/dL From Baseline in Part 1

    Measured: Week 24, Week 48

  2. Percentage of Subjects Achieving an Improvement in Hemoglobin Level of at Least >= 2.0 g/dL From Baseline in Part 1

    Measured: Week 24, Week 48

  3. Change in Spleen Length From Baseline in Part 1

    Change in spleen length measured in centimeters by manual palpation.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 24, Week 48

  4. Percentage of Subjects With >=35% Reduction in Spleen Volume From Baseline in Part 1

    Change in spleen volume measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) from baseline.

    Measured: Week 24, Week 48

  5. Percentage of Subjects With >=25% Reduction in Spleen Volume From Baseline in Part 1

    Change in spleen volume measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) from baseline.

    Measured: Week 24, Week 48

  6. Percentage of Subjects in Part 1 With >=50% Reduction From Baseline in Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment Form, Version 4.0 (MFSAF v4.0)

    The MFSAF v4.0 questionnaire focuses on the 7 core symptoms of MF: fatigue, night sweats, pruritus, abdominal discomfort, pain under the ribs on the left side, early satiety and bone pain. Subjects record symptom severity at it worst for each of the 7 symptoms on an 11-point numeric rating scale, from 0 (absent) to 10 (worst imaginable). The Total Symptom Score (TSS) is the sum of all the scores for all 7 symptoms.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Ruxolitinib, Siremadlin and Crizanlizumab in people with Myelofibrosis, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 22 sites in 13 countries.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 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 22 sites in Germany, Spain, Australia, Switzerland, Canada and 8 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 7 Aug 2025). 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?

Incidence and Severity of Dose Limiting Toxicities Within the First 2 Cycles in Part 1 (time frame: Baseline to the end of Cycle 2 (6 or 8 weeks)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04097821, 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 7 Aug 2025.
