Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Change and percentage change in SVR as measured by magnetic resonance imaging
[MRI] (computed tomography [CT] scan in subjects who are not candidates for MRI
or when MRI is not readily available) at Week 24 when compared with baseline.
Secondary outcome
- Safety and tolerability through assessment of frequency, severity, and
duration of adverse events (AEs); changes in clinical safety assessments; and
changes in clinical laboratory parameters.
- Change and percentage in SVR from baseline through Week 12 as measured by MRI
(or CT scan in applicable subjects).
- Change and percentage change on spleen length reduction from baseline through
Week 12 and Week 24 as measured by palpation.
- Change and percentage change in Total Symptom Score (TSS) from baseline
through Week 12 and Week 24 as measured by the Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment
Form version 2.0 (MFSAF v2.0) symptom diary and by the Myeloproliferative
Neoplasms Symptom Assessment Form (MPN-SAF).
- Patient Global Impression of Change score at each visit where the variable is
measured.
- Number of subjects with responses according to the 2013 IWG-MRT consensus
criteria for treatment response.
- Calculation of the PK parameters such as AUC, CL/F, Cmax, and tmax along with
summarization of the observed concentration data by timepoint will be performed
for both ruxolitinib and itacitinib.
Background summary
Despite statistically significant improvements in the signs and symptoms of MF
and overall survival rates compared to placebo or best available therapy in the
registration studies, there are patients for whom ruxolitinib monotherapy does
not provide an adequate and / or sustained response.
Itacitinib is being studied as a treatment for patients with MF. It may have
less potency than other drugs to cause side effects such as anemia and low
platelets, and in previous clinical studies it has been shown to reduce the
size of the spleen and control the symptoms of MF. This makes tacitinib a
potential second-line therapy option
Study objective
Primary objective
To evaluate preliminary efficacy of itacitinib (INCB039110) on spleen volume
reduction (SVR) from baseline at Week 24 in the 2 following cohorts of MF
subjects:
- Cohort A: in combination in subjects with ruxolitinib low dose (less than
20mg daily).
- Cohort B: as monotherapy in subjects who progressed (per revised European
LeukemiaNet [ELN] 2013 response criteria for MF) after initial reduction in
spleen on ruxolitinib or discontinued for hematologic toxicities.
Secondary objective
- To evaluate preliminary safety and tolerability of itacitinib alone.
- To evaluate preliminary safety and tolerability of itacitinib in combination
with ruxolitinib.
- To evaluate preliminary efficacy of itacitinib alone or in combination with
ruxolitinib on SVR from baseline at Week 12.
- To evaluate preliminary efficacy of itacitinib alone or in combination with
ruxolitinib on spleen length reduction from baseline at Week 12 and Week 24.
- To evaluate preliminary efficacy of itacitinib alone or in combination with
ruxolitinib with respect to MF symptoms at Week 12 and Week 24.
- To evaluate preliminary efficacy of itacitinib using International Working
Group-Myeloproliferative Neoplasms Research and Treatment (IWG-MRT) criteria.
- To assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of itacitinib and ruxolitinib.
Study design
This is an open-label Phase 2 study with 2 cohorts:
- Cohort A: MF subjects who are tolerating a ruxolitinib dose of less than 20
mg daily will receive a combination of the JAK1 inhibitor itacitinib at the
dose of 200 mg once daily (QD) and the JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib.
- Cohort B: MF subjects who progressed after initial reduction in spleen with
ruxolitinib treatment or discontinued for hematologic toxicities will receive
treatment with JAK1 inhibitor itacitinib alone at the dose of 600 mg QD.
Subjects will continue study treatment until disease progression, unacceptable
toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or other Protocol-specified criteria to stop
treatment are met. Subjects who are receiving benefit will continue receiving
study treatment until withdrawal criteria are met.
All subjects will be followed for safety (eg, reporting of AEs and serious AEs)
30 to 35 days after last dose of study treatment.
Intervention
A total of 42 patients worldwide (10 patients in the Netherlands) are treated
in cohort A or B.
Itacitinib is formulated as 100 mg sustained-release tablet. Itacitinib will be
administered orally QD in the morning on an outpatient basis as follows:
- Cohort A only: 200 mg QD, without regard to food, for the combination
treatment with ruxolitinib.
- Cohort B only: 600 mg QD, without regard to food, for the monotherapy
treatment.
Reference Therapy, Dosage, and Mode of Administration:
- Cohort A only: Ruxolitinib will be administered orally, twice daily (BID),
approximately 12 hours apart using the stable dose of less than 20 mg daily
established before entering the study.
- Cohort B only: Not applicable.
Study burden and risks
Subjects will have a regularly scheduled study visit at screening, baseline,
Day 1, Week 2, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16, Week 20, and Week 24 and every
12 weeks thereafter if continuing on treatment, where assessments, including
urine samples (for pregnancy test, if applicable), blood samples and spleen
measurements, will be obtained. All laboratory parameters (serology, lipid
profile, urinalysis, blood chemistry, hematology, and coagulation) will be
assessed using local laboratories. Blood pharmacodynamic and PK samples will be
collected and analyzed by the sponsor or sponsor's designee.
Additional laboratory assessments may be performed at investigator's
discretion, including following changes in dose, or if laboratory parameters
are at Grade 3 or Grade 4 levels based on the CTCAE v4.03.
Every visit takes 1-8 hours. This depends on the examinations that are
scheduled.
Subjects will have an MRI of the upper and lower abdomen and pelvis to
determine the spleen volume at baseline, at Week 12 and Week 24, and every 12
weeks thereafter. Computed tomography scan will be substituted for subjects who
are not candidates for MRI or when MRI is not readily available. A bone marrow
test will take place during screening, week 24 and then every 12 weeks if they
continue with the treatment (the bone marrow at screening may be fulfilled with
a recent biopsy (if available)).
Patient Global Impression of Change questionnaire will be completed at each
study visit from Week 4. Determination of spleen length below the left costal
margin will be measured by palpation at each study visit using a flexible
ruler. They will also have 2 ECG (screening and end of treatment)
Subjects will complete an electronic symptom diary (MFSAF v2.0) daily from
baseline through the Week 24 visit (total of 25 weeks) and they will also
complete the MPN-SAF at baseline; at Weeks 12 and 24; and every 12 weeks
thereafter.
Please refer to the IB and patient information regarding side effects that are
expected and for other risks and discomforts.
