SYNOPSIS 
Name of Investigational Product:  ruxolitinib   
Throughout this protocol, ruxolitinib will be used to designate the drug substance (ruxolitinib 
phosphate) and drug product (ruxolitinib phosphate tablets) 
Title of Study:  An open label assessment of safety and efficacy of ruxolitinib (INCB018424) in 
subjects with primary myelofibrosis, post essential thrombocythemia-myelofibrosis and post 
polycythemia vera-myelofibrosis who have platelet counts of 50 x 109/L to 100 x 109/L 
Protocol Number: INCB 18424-258 
Study Phase:   2 
Primary Objectives: 
• 
To determine the effects of ruxolitinib on spleen volume and symptomatic burden in patients 
with primary myelofibrosis (PMF), post polycythemia vera-myelofibrosis (PPV-MF) and post 
essential thrombocythemia-myelofibrosis (PET-MF) who have baseline platelet count of 
50 x 109/L to 100 x 109/L.  
• 
To determine the safety and tolerability of ruxolitinib in patients with PMF, PPV-MF, and 
PET-MF who have a baseline platelet count of 50 x 109/L to 100 x 109/L. 
Secondary Objective: 
• 
To determine appropriate dosing for patients with low platelets. 
• 
To determine the long-term safety and efficacy effects of ruxolitinib in patients with PMF, 
PPV-MF and PET-MF who have baseline platelet count of 50 x 109/L to 100 x 109/L. 
Overall Study Design:  
This is an open label study of ruxolitinib in patients with PMF, PPV-MF, and PET-MF.  The study is 
comprised of 4 phases: 
Screening: 
Up to 21 days 
Baseline: 
Exactly 7 days 
Core Treatment Phase: 
24 weeks   
Extended Treatment Phase: 
132 weeks; subjects receiving benefit will continue ruxolitinib 
treatment until Week 156 
Follow-up Phase: 
All subjects will be followed for safety (eg, reporting of AEs and 
serious AEs) for 30 to 37 days after the last dose of study drug is 
administered 
Study Drug, Dosage and Mode of Administration and dose adjustments:  
All subjects will begin dosing at 5 mg bid ruxolitinib.  Doses should be taken morning and evening, 
approximately 12 hours apart, and without regards to food. 
During the core treatment phase, doses of ruxolitinib may be increased in 5 mg qd increments up to a 
dose of 10 mg bid starting at the Week 4 visit and at subsequent study visits (no more than every 
4 weeks) if platelet count was always ≥ 40 x 109/L since the last scheduled study visit, platelet count, if 
decreased since the last visit, is decreased by ≤ 20%, no dose decreases or holds for safety have 
occurred during the preceding 4 week interval, no ≥ Grade 2 hemorrhage events have occurred since 
initiating treatment and ANC is > 1000/µL.  Doses may not exceed 10 mg bid except in subjects who 
continue to meet the above dose escalation criteria, and who have, in addition, a PGIC score of 
minimally worse, much worse or very much worse while receiving 10 mg bid.  Such subjects may 
continue dose escalation to a maximum dose of 15 mg bid.

CONFIDENTIAL 
During the extended treatment phase, doses of ruxolitinib may be increased in 5 mg qd increments up 
to a dose of 25 mg bid if the subject meets the above dose escalation criteria, or per the investigator’s 
discretion.   
Doses may never exceed 25 mg bid. 
Subjects will be required to decrease the dose for platelet count < 35 x 109/L, and to hold dosing for 
platelet count < 25 x 109/L.  Subjects will have the option to restart or re-escalate the dose with 
improving platelet count. 
Subjects will be required to interrupt dosing for any Grade 2 or higher hemorrhage events.  Subjects 
will be able to restart ruxolitinib dosing with resolution of Grade 2 events; restart after a second event 
requires review and discussion of pertinent data with the sponsor.  Restarts of ruxolitinib will only be 
permitted in some cases of Grade 3 and 4 events, after review and discussion of pertinent data with the 
sponsor. 
Sites will provide information on incidents of Grade 4 thrombocytopenia and Grade 3/ Grade 4 
hemorrhage events via FAX to the sponsor or its designee within 24 hours of learning of the event.  
The overall incidence of these events will be continuously monitored by the sponsor, and with ongoing 
data review, could result in a temporary hold for further enrollment, a reduction in the maximum 
allowable dose for subjects in the study, or a protocol amendment to modify dose titration rules. 
Duration of Participation:  
Up to 4 weeks for screening + baseline phases 
Up to 24 weeks for the core treatment phase   
Up to 132 weeks for the extended treatment phase (to Week 156)

Planned Number of Subjects:  Approximately 150 
Study Schedule/Procedures: 
There will be study visits and laboratory-only visits in the study.   
Core Treatment Phase: 
Subjects will have a regularly scheduled study visit at screening, baseline, Day 1, Week 4, Week 8, 
Week 12, Week 16, Week 20 and Week 24, where blood samples, assessments, spleen measurements, 
etc. will be obtained.  Optional dose increases may occur at these monthly study visits.  All hematology 
labs and coagulation parameters will be analyzed by local laboratories.  Serum chemistries, serology, 
and lipid panel will be analyzed by a central laboratory. 
Subjects will have laboratory-only visits to collect hematology lab samples at Week 1, Week 2, 
Week 3, Week 5, Week 6, Week 7, Week 10, Week 14, and Week 18.  The laboratory visits at 
Week 14 and Week 18 may be skipped for subjects who do not increase their dose at Week 12 or 
Week 16, and who have maintained platelet counts > 75 x 109/L since the last hematology assessment.  
Additional blood draws for hematology assessment will be required if platelet count falls below 
35 x 109/L.   
Subjects will have an MRI of the upper and lower abdomen and pelvis to determine the spleen volume 
at baseline and Week 24.  CT scan will be substituted for subjects who are not candidates for MRI, or 
when MRI is not readily available. Patients Global Impression of Change (PGIC) questionnaire will be 
completed monthly.  Measurement of spleen length below the left costal margin will be measured by 
palpation at each study visit.  
Subjects will complete an electronic symptom diary (the Modified Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment 
Form (MFSAF) v2.0) from baseline thru the Week 24 visits (total of 25 weeks).   
Extended Treatment Phase: 
Subjects will have a study visit every 12 weeks (eg, Weeks 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144, 
and 156) through Week 156 where blood samples, clinical assessments, and palpable spleen 
measurements will be obtained.  Subjects will have laboratory-only visits to collect hematology 
samples 6 weeks after the Week 24 visit (eg, Week 30), then after each extended treatment phase visit 
(eg, Weeks 42, 54, 66, 78, 90, 102, 114, 126, 138, and 150).  Additional hematology assessments will 
be required if the subject has a dose modification or as clinically indicated. 
Co-Primary Endpoints: 
• 
Correlation of % change in spleen volume at Week 24 compared to baseline versus final 
titrated dose. 
• 
Correlation of % change in Total Symptom Score as measured by the modified MFSAF v2.0 
diary at Week 24 compared to baseline versus final titrated dose. 
Safety Endpoint: 
• 
Safety and tolerability will be assessed by monitoring the frequency, duration and severity of 
adverse events, performing physical examinations, collecting vital signs, collecting laboratory 
data for hematology, serum chemistry, and coagulation parameters through Week 156.  In 
addition, analyses will include: 
− 
Proportion of subjects with new onset Grade 4 thrombocytopenia events as assessed by 
CTCAE v4.03. 
− 
Proportion of subjects with new onset Grade 2 or higher hemorrhage as assessed by 
CTCAE v4.03

Secondary Endpoints: 
• 
Percent change in spleen volume at Week 24 compared to Baseline 
• 
Percent change in Total Symptom Score as measured by the modified MFSAF v2.0 diary at 
Week 24 compared to baseline. 
• 
Proportion of subjects with ≥ 35% reduction in spleen volume at Week 24 compared to 
baseline. 
• 
Proportion of subjects with ≥ 10% reduction in spleen volume at Week 24 compare to baseline. 
• 
Proportion of subjects with ≥ 50% improvement in total symptom score as measured by the 
modified MFSAF v2.0 diary at Week 24 compared to baseline. 
• 
Long-term efficacy of ruxolitinib will be assessed by monitoring change and percent change in 
spleen length, as measured by palpation, and change in PGIC score from baseline to each visit 
where the variables are measured through Week 156. 
Planned Number of Study Sites:  approximately 60 sites that have previous experience with MF 
patients 
Estimated Study Duration:  
Estimated date first subject enrolled:  May 2011 
Estimated date last subject completed:  September 2020 
Statistical Methods:  
The correlation between final titrated dose and % change of spleen volume measured by MRI, and % 
change in Total Symptom Score from baseline to Week 24 will each be calculated, and the null 
hypothesis of no correlation will be tested with the t test for correlation. In addition, the overall effect 
size (drug effect over all patients) will be estimated with 95% confidence intervals. 
Safety data will be tabulated from baseline through Week 156 including AE, labs, and vital signs. 
Proportion of subjects with new onset of Grade 4 thrombocytopenia events, and proportion of subjects 
with new onset of Grade 2 or higher hemorrhage, as measured by CTCAE will be tabulated with 
summary statistics.  The hazard functions of time to onset of the above two safety measures will be 
estimated using life table method. 
The percent change in spleen volume at Week 24 compared to Baseline, the percent change in total 
symptom score as measured by the modified MFSAF v2.0 diary at Week 24 compared to Baseline, the 
proportion of subjects with ≥ 35% reduction in spleen volume at Week 24 compared to Baseline, 
proportion of subjects with ≥ 10% reduction in spleen volume at Week 24 compared to Baseline and 
the proportion of subjects with ≥ 50% improvement in total symptom score as measured by the

modified MFSAF v2.0 diary at Week 24 compared to Baseline will be tabulated with summary 
statistics.  Change and percentage change in spleen length from baseline as measured by palpation at 
each visit where the parameter is assessed through Week 156 will be tabulated with summary statistics. 
The data will be summarized as one group and by the final titrated dose. 
Data Monitoring Committee: 
An independent data monitoring committee will be formed, consisting of qualified individuals who are 
not involved in the conduct of the study.  The roles, responsibilities and composition of the committee 
will be established in a charter.

INTRODUCTION 
The four classic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) include chronic myelogenous leukemia 
(CML), polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET) and primary myelofibrosis 
(PMF). Myelofibrosis (MF) can present as a de novo disorder (PMF) or evolve secondarily from 
previous PV or ET (post-PV-MF or post ET-MF).  Regardless of whether MF is a primary or 
secondary disorder, it is characterized by a clonal stem cell proliferation associated with 
production of elevated serum levels of multiple inflammatory and proangiogenic cytokines, a 
characteristic bone marrow stromal pattern that includes varying degrees of collagen fibrosis, 
osteosclerosis and angiogenesis and a peripheral blood smear showing a leukoerythroblastic 
pattern with varying degrees of circulating progenitor cells.  Clinically, MF is characterized by 
progressive anemia, leukopenia or leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia or thrombocythemia and 
multi-organ extramedullary hematopoiesis most prominently involving the liver and spleen.  
Patients may experience severe constitutional symptoms, sequelae of massive splenomegaly 
(pain, limitations of movement, early satiety and shortness of breath, hepatic obstruction, and 
splenic infarction), a hypermetabolic state with cachexia, progressive hematopoietic failure, 
progression to leukemia, and premature death. 
The median age at diagnosis is approximately 60 to 65 years.  The incidence of PMF has been 
estimated at 1.5 cases per 100,000 people.  Survival in MF varies with the presence or absence of 
specific risk factors.  A prognostic scoring system based on a time-dependent risk evaluation has 
been developed: the Dynamic International Prognostic Scoring System (DIPSS) for PMF 
(Passamonti et al 2010), age of greater than 65 years, presence of constitutional symptoms, 
anemia (Hemoglobin less than 100 g/L), leukocytosis (white blood cell count (WBC) greater 
than 25 x109/L), and a circulating blast percentage of 1% or higher were assessed for their 
impact on survival when analyzed as time-dependent covariates in a multivariate Cox 
proportional hazard model.  The approach showed that acquisition of anemia over time affects 
survival with a hazard ratio roughly double that of other parameters; anemia was therefore 
assigned a score of 2, while the other 4 factors were assigned scores of 1.  Four risk categories 
with non-overlapping survival curves have been described: 
Total Risk Score

Intermediate-1

For a subset of patients who are younger (generally less than 65 years), otherwise healthy and 
have a histocompatible donor, allogeneic stem cell transplantation may provide a curative option, 
although with substantial (10-20%) risks of mortality, (Deeg et al 2003).  Drug therapies used, 
including hydroxyurea, busulfan, 6-mercaptopurine, anagrelide, thalidomide, lenalidomide, 
interferon, corticosteroids, and erythropoiesis stimulating agents or growth factors, have not been 
shown to improve survival.  Some can increase the risk of leukemic transformation, and/or are 
poorly tolerated, and all have limited effectiveness in improving splenomegaly and constitutional 
symptoms.  Splenectomy, performed in approximately 10% of the patient cohort reported by 
(Cervantes et al 2009), is associated with significant morbidity and mortality.  Splenic irradiation

is also employed to reduce symptoms secondary to splenomegaly, but symptomatic improvement 
is variable and short-lived; moreover, transient and life-threatening pancytopenia and an 
approximate 20% treatment-related mortality have been noted. 
Thrombocytopenia, although not found to be an independent variable in the multivariate analyses 
of prognostic factors proposed by the International Working Group for Myelofibrosis Research 
and Treatment (Cervantes et al 2009, Passamonti et al 2010), is considered to be an adverse risk 
factor by the Mayo Clinic group, (Elliott et al 2007).  More recently, low platelet count 
(< 100 x 109/L), was shown to be a Dynamic International Prognostic Scoring System (DIPSS)-
independent factor for survival and leukemia-free survival (Gangat et al 2011).  Apart from 
being an indicator of diminished bone marrow reserve, thrombocytopenia may also be a limiting 
factor with regards to therapy intensity with multiple agents including ruxolitinib, whose DLT is 
thrombocytopenia.  Therefore, thrombocytopenic patients are often excluded from 
investigational studies despite having MF requiring therapy. 
Within the past 5 years it was discovered that approximately 95% of patients with PV and about 
50% of patients with PMF and ET have a somatic gain-of function mutation in the Janus Kinase 
2 (JAK2) gene resulting in substitution of phenylalanine for valine at position 617 (JAK2 
V617F) within the pseudokinase domain of the encoded protein. JAK 2 is one of four Janus 
kinases along with JAK1, JAK 3 and TYK 2.  Together the Janus kinases are responsible for 
transduction of cell signaling from Type I and II cytokine receptors families because these 
receptors do not possess catalytic kinases to activate downstream signal transduction.  Under 
physiologic conditions, the JAKs associate with the intracellular domain of the cytokine 
receptors in response to cytokine binding.  They then undergo autophosphorylation resulting in 
conformational changes which enable them to transduce intracellular signaling by 
phosphorylating and activating transcription factors called Signal Transduction and Activator of 
Transduction (STAT) proteins.  The activated STATs translocate to the nucleus where they 
regulate transcription of a number of genes involved in cellular activation, proliferation and 
survival. JAKs associate with the intracellular domain of the Type I and II receptors in pairs, 
which may be homodimers (eg, two JAK2s) or heterodimers (eg, a JAK 1 and a JAK2).  
Erythropoeitin (EPO), which is responsible for stimulating erythropoiesis, thrombopoietin (TPO) 
which is responsible for stimulating thrombopoiesis and GM-CSF have been shown to signal 
only through receptors which utilize JAK2 homodimers.  A large number of other inflammatory 
mediators are known to signal primarily through receptors that utilize JAK heterodimers.  It is 
also apparent that MF, as well as ET and even PV occur in the absence of the JAK2 V617F 
mutation.  In a minority of patients other mutations in the JAK -STAT pathway have been 
identified but in many patients the mutations have not been identified yet or don’t exist.  
However it appears that majority of patients with MF have over-activation of the JAK STAT 
pathway, regardless of JAK2 V617F status.  In MF, excessive cytokine signaling through both 
JAK 1 and JAK2 have been observed both in patients harboring the JAK2V617F mutation and in 
patients without known mutations.  Therefore, JAK inhibitors have the potential to treat some or 
all of the manifestations of MF, despite the potential for mechanism-based myelosuppression, 
given the role of JAK kinases in normal bone marrow function.

4.1. 
Background Information on Ruxolitinib Tablets 
4.1.1. 
Pharmacology Summary 
Ruxolitinib represents a novel, potent, and selective inhibitor of JAK1 (IC50 = 3.3 ± 1.2 nM) and 
JAK2 (IC50 = 2.8 ± 1.2 nM) with modest to marked selectivity against TYK2 (IC50 = 19 ± 
3.2 nM) and JAK3 (IC50 = 428 ± 243 nM), respectively.  Ruxolitinib is inactive (ie, < 30% 
inhibition) against 28 additional kinases when tested at 200 nM.  
In cell-based assays relevant to the pathogenesis of MPNs, such as JAK/STAT signaling and 
growth of the cytokine-dependent tumor cell lines, ruxolitinib demonstrates IC50 values of 
80-185 nM.  This effect is not due to general cytotoxicity, because ruxolitinib (up to 25 μM) had 
no significant effect on the growth of cells driven by the BCR-ABL oncoprotein.  
Pharmacological data obtained with in vitro and in vivo model systems supports the potential 
utility of orally administered ruxolitinib in the treatment of inflammatory diseases such as RA as 
well as malignancies, including MPNs.  See Quintas-Cardama et al 2010 and the Investigator’s 
Brochure (IB) for additional information. 
4.1.2. 
Drug Disposition Summary 
Ruxolitinib has high solubility and permeability. It is designated as a Class I molecule in the 
Biopharmaceutical Classification System and exhibits moderate-to-high clearance, volume of 
distribution and oral bioavailability in preclinical species.  The apparent elimination half-life is 
short (< 5 hr) in all species.  The primary clearance pathway is oxidative metabolism and the 
metabolism by human liver microsomes is catalyzed predominantly by CYP3A4.  In a study 
using 14C-ruxolitinib in healthy volunteers, unchanged ruxolitinib was the predominant 
circulating drug-related entity with 2 major circulating metabolites observed, both of which are 
mono-oxidation products.  The metabolites of ruxolitinib retain varying degrees of JAK-related 
pharmacological activity.  Excretion was fairly rapid by both urinary and fecal routes with parent 
drug accounting for < 1% of the administered dose.  Tissue distribution studies in rats indicate 
rapid and complete elimination of radioactivity in most tissues.  Ruxolitinib exhibits high plasma 
protein binding in humans with an unbound fraction of 3.3%.  
PK information is available from single and repeat dose studies in healthy volunteers, an ongoing 
study in subjects with myelofibrosis (MF), and a study in patients with RA.  Ruxolitinib was 
absorbed rapidly, attaining mean peak plasma concentrations within 1-2 hours after 
administration.  The mean ruxolitinib Cmax and AUC0-∞ increased approximately proportional to 
dose over the entire dose range of 5 mg to 200 mg.  The mean terminal phase elimination 
half-life was approximately 3 hours.  There was no appreciable accumulation with repeat dosing.  
Administration of the 25 mg ruxolitinib with a high-fat, high-calorie meal slowed the absorption 
of ruxolitinib, prolonging the mean Tmax from 1.3 to 2.7 h, and lowered the mean Cmax by 24% 
but did not significantly affect the AUC compared to fasted administration.  The overall 
magnitude of the food effect on ruxolitinib exposure is not expected to be clinically important.  
Therefore, ruxolitinib can be dosed without regards to meals.  PK parameters in patients with RA 
and MF were similar to those seen in healthy volunteers.   
Ruxolitinib was well tolerated in single dose drug-drug interaction studies with inhibitors and an 
inducer of the CYP P450 family of metabolizing enzymes, when co-administered with 
methotrexate, in subjects with renal insufficiency, and in subjects with hepatic dysfunction.

CONFIDENTIAL 
Co-administration of methotrexate does not alter the pharmacokinetic parameters of ruxolitinib 
while administration of erythromycin slightly increases AUC by 26%.  Therefore no dose 
adjustments are required when ruxolitinib is administered together with moderate CYP3A4 
inhibitors such as erythromycin, including grapefruit juice, or with methotrexate.  Ketoconazole 
significantly increases the exposure to ruxolitinib when co-administered with ruxolitinib; it is 
recommended that dosage of ruxolitinib be decreased by 50% when co-administered with 
systemic ketoconazole, or other potent inhibitors of the CYP3A4 family of metabolizing 
enzymes.  Co-administration with rifampin significantly decreased the exposure to ruxolitinib; 
however, increases in the relative amount of active metabolites in the presence of this potent 
inducer of CYP3A4 resulted in nearly identical levels of overall JAK inhibitory activity as 
assessed by measurement of inhibition of IL-6-induced STAT phosphorylation.  Therefore, there 
is no required dose adjustment when ruxolitinib is co-administered with rifampin or other 
CYP3A4 inducers, but these agents should be used with caution in combination with ruxolitinib 
and alternative therapy used if available.  
Ruxolitinib pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (as measured by IL-6 induced STAT3 
phosphorylation (pSTAT3)) were similar in subjects with normal renal function and with mild, 
moderate or severe renal impairment.  In subjects with end stage renal disease on dialysis 
ruxolitinib PK parameters were similar to healthy subjects, whether ruxolitinib was dosed prior 
to or following a dialysis session, but ruxolitinib pharmacodynamics were prolonged in subjects 
dosed following a dialysis session.  Therefore, ruxolitinib may be dosed to subjects with varying 
degrees of renal impairment without dose adjustment with the exception of subjects with end 
stage renal disease receiving hemodialysis.  In a hepatic impairment study, there was an 88% 
increase in AUC in mild, 29% increase in moderate, and a 66% increase in severe hepatic disease 
(based on the Childs-Pugh classification) and the terminal elimination half-life ranged from 
4.6 hours in mild, 4.1 hours in moderate, and 5.1 hours in severe hepatic impairment subjects 
compared to 2.8 hours in healthy subjects.  No significant differences in pharmacodynamics 
were observed among subjects with mild or moderate hepatic dysfunction compared to healthy 
subjects.  In subjects categorized as having severe hepatic impairment, the inhibition of IL-6 
induced pSTAT3 levels appeared to be prolonged following a single dose of ruxolitinib.  In 
subjects with hepatic impairment, it is suggested to reduce the initial starting dose (total daily 
dose) of ruxolitinib by 25% to 50% compared to the recommended therapeutic starting dose.  
Subjects should be carefully monitored and the dose titrated accordingly. 
See the IB for additional information regarding the disposition of ruxolitinib. 
4.1.3. 
Nonclinical Toxicology Summary 
Effects noted in multiple dose toxicity studies in mice (up to 4 weeks), rats (up to 6 months), and 
dogs (up to 12 months) were primarily those associated with the mechanism of action of 
ruxolitinib, a potent and reversible inhibitor of JAK-STAT signaling.  Decreases in red blood 
cells, reticulocytes, eosinophils and lymphocytes have been observed along with lymphoid 
depletion in bone marrow and lymphoid organs.  In addition, in dogs, demodectic mange, 
bacterial pneumonia and viral-induced papillomas, expected consequences of the pharmacology 
of JAK inhibition, were noted. 
In a respiratory safety pharmacology study, an adverse decrease in minute volume was noted in 
female but not in male rats at the highest dose, 150 mg/kg.  In a cardiovascular evaluation of 

Incyte Corporation

Protocol INCB 18424-258 Amendment 2

CONFIDENTIAL 
ruxolitinib in dogs, electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters were unaffected at all doses.  
Administration of ruxolitinib at the highest dose evaluated (30 mg/kg) resulted in an adverse 
lowering of blood pressure along with an increase in heart rate compared to vehicle control.  The 
IC50 for inhibition of the hERG channel was determined to be 131.6 µM. 
Ruxolitinib was not mutagenic or clastogenic nor did it demonstrate potential for carcinogenicity 
in a 6 month study in Tg.rasH2 mice. 
In embryo-fetal assessments in rat and rabbit, maternal toxicity and minimal embryo-fetal 
toxicity were noted at the highest doses evaluated.  Ruxolitinib was not teratogenic in either rat 
or rabbit.  In an evaluation of fertility and early embryonic development, no effects were noted 
on reproductive performance or fertility in male or female rats.  Increases in post-implantation 
loss were noted at the higher doses.  In a pre- and post-natal development and maternal function 
study in rats, no adverse effects were noted.  Ruxolitinib passed into the milk of lactating rats 
with an exposure that was 13-fold higher than maternal plasma exposure.  See the IB for 
additional information. 
4.1.4. 
Clinical Summary 
Ruxolitinib has been administered to over 180 healthy volunteers as single, repeat single, or 
multiple doses of up to 10 days duration.  Ruxolitinib has been administered to approximately 
450 subjects with MF for periods of up to > 24 months, and over 100 subjects with prostate 
cancer, multiple myeloma, polycythemia vera or essential thrombocythemia for periods of up to 
> 24 months.   
In healthy volunteer studies, a transient, reversible decrease in neutrophil count has frequently 
been seen following dosing, which reverses after 12 to 24 hours off drug, suggestive that the 
neutropenia may reflect an effect of ruxolitinib blocking IL-6 signaling and causing neutrophil 
margination on blood vessel walls.  In a repeat dose healthy volunteer study, neutropenia of any 
severity grade was seen in 22% of placebo subjects, 11% of subjects receiving 50 mg qd, 67% of 
subjects receiving 100 mg qd, 13% of subjects receiving 15 mg bid, 33% of subjects receiving 
25 mg bid and 67% of subjects receiving 50 mg bid.  Importantly, these neutropenia events were 
of Grade 1 or Grade 2 severity with a single instance of severe Grade 4 neutropenia that led to 
discontinuation of study drug in 1 subject receiving ruxolitinib at 50 mg bid (highest dose).  The 
maximum tolerated dose in healthy volunteers was determined to be 25 mg bid and no dose 
limiting toxicities (DLT) were seen at 100 mg qd. 
A definitive QT study was carried out in 50 healthy volunteers, evaluating the effects of single 
doses of 25 mg or 200 mg ruxolitinib compared with placebo and 400 mg moxifloxacin (positive 
control).  The overall conclusion was that there appeared to be no adverse impact on ventricular 
repolarization (no increase in QTcF) and little change in heart rate, QRS duration, and a slight, 
non-clinically significant, increase in PR interval with the administration of ruxolitinib. 
In an ongoing study in subjects with myelofibrosis (MF) where median time on drug is 
~ 15 months (N=154), ruxolitinib was well tolerated by this elderly population (median age 65) 
with advanced disease.  The DLT was thrombocytopenia.  Initial dose ranging established an 
MTD of 25 mg bid and 100 mg qd in the MF population.  Most adverse events were mild to 
moderate in severity and considered unrelated to administration of study drug.  Related adverse 
events occurring in at least 5% (8 subjects) of the 154 subjects included in the safety database

through December 31, 2009 were restricted to anemia (45 subjects), thrombocytopenia 
(66 subjects), weight increased (11 subjects), diarrhea (10 subjects) and fatigue (8 subjects).  
Both anemia and thrombocytopenia represent JAK-inhibitor induced myelosuppression.  
Forty (40) subjects (26% of study population) had a Grade 3 or Grade 4 decline in platelet count 
during the study (31 Grade 3 events, 9 Grade 4 events).  Subjects with Grade 3 or 4 
thrombocytopenia entered the study, in general, with platelet counts less than 200 x 109/L, 
although there are exceptions to this trend.  Twenty percent of Grade 3 + 4 thrombocytopenia 
events occurred in the first 4 weeks of dosing, just under half (48%) of Grade 3 + 4 events 
occurred in the first 16 weeks of treatment.  The incidence of thrombocytopenia was dose 
dependent, as anticipated.  For most subjects, thrombocytopenia was rapidly reversible and 
manageable with ruxolitinib dose interruption and/or dose reduction.   
The risk of spontaneous hemorrhage in patients as a result of thrombocytopenia generally does 
not become manifest until platelet counts fall below 10 to 20 x109/L (Slichter 2004).  In Study 
INCB 18424-251, the lowest platelet counts observed (grade 4 thrombocytopenia events) ranged 
from 6-22 x 109/L.  There was one patient with associated petechiae and no events of 
hemorrhage in the 9 patients with grade 4 platelet declines. 
There were 2 deaths in study INCB 18424-251 where the primary cause of death was related to 
hemorrhage (upper gastric and cerebral hemorrhage).  In the case of upper gastric hemorrhage, 
the patient had emergency surgical repair of a bleeding duodenal ulcer and died of post-operative 
complications.  The PLT count was 447 x 109/L and there was a history of antecedent aspirin use 
and epistaxis.  The event was considered unrelated to ruxolitinib.  In the case of cerebral 
hemorrhage, the patient had normal PLT count (201 x 109/L), normal coagulation tests, and a 
history of hypertension.  The event was assessed as possibly related to ruxolitinib. 
Other SAEs in study INCB 18424-251 that involved hemorrhage of any kind have been 
examined.  One patient was admitted to the hospital with a PLT count of 
 x 109/L and 
ultimately required splenectomy, following which a post-operative hemorrhage was noted in the 
surgical drains.  The patient was discharged from the hospital but chose to discontinue study 
drug.  Another patient had  episodes of lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage that were assessed as 
unrelated to ruxolitinib.  No information about PLT counts during the course of the event was 
provided.  A patient suffered from gastrointestinal hemorrhage of unknown source with a PLT 
count of 
x 109/L.  One patient had hematuria due to 
 surgery; the PLT count was 
 x 10 /L.  Another patient suffering from splenomegaly developed an intra-abdominal 
hematoma adjacent to the spleen, with a PLT count of 
 x 109/L.  One patient was hospitalized 
for melena with a PLT count of 
 x109/L.  Thus overall hemorrhage events in subjects on 
ruxolitinib in Study INCB 18424-251 were not associated with drug-induced thrombocytopenia. 
Ruxolitinib has demonstrated marked reduction in spleen size in the ongoing study in patients 
with MF, and without regard to presence of the JAK2 V617F mutation (Verstovsek et al 2010).  
In addition to spleen size reduction, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scores and 
symptoms thought to be related to splenomegaly, as well as symptoms related to elevated 
cytokine levels, all show improvement with ruxolitinib treatment.  As a surrogate marker for 
functional benefit, exercise capacity was assessed with a standardized six minute walk test 
(6MWT).  Ruxolitinib therapy resulted in improved 6MWT performance after 1, 3 or 6 months 
of therapy.  After an initial small weight loss likely due to resolution of ascites and/or reduction

in splenomegaly, there is an increase in total body weight; importantly, there is weight gain in 
subjects with low body mass index at entry, ie, cachectic subjects. 
Two Phase 3 registrations studies are ongoing.  Study INCB 18424-351 is a double blind, 
placebo controlled study of ruxolitinib in subjects with MF, and Study INCB 18424-352 is an 
open label comparative study of ruxolitinib versus best available therapy in subjects with MF.  In 
both Phase 3 studies, subjects began dosing at 20 mg bid if Baseline platelet count was 
> 200 x 109/L and at 15 mg bid for platelet count of 100 x109/L to 200 x 109/L, inclusive.  The 
data was analyzed when the last subject had completed the Week 24 visit, and at least 50% of 
subjects remaining in the study had completed the Week 36 visit, and the data base was frozen.  
The primary endpoint was the response rate defined as the percentage of patients achieving a 
35% or greater reduction in spleen volume at 24 weeks as measured by magnetic resonance 
imaging, or computerized tomography, comparing the rates in patients receiving ruxolitinib or 
placebo.  The primary analysis was recently conducted, and the primary and key secondary 
endpoints were met.  The response rate for spleen volume reduction was 42% in patients 
randomized to ruxolitinib versus < 1% in patients randomized to placebo (p 0.0001).  A 
significantly larger proportion of subjects in the ruxolitinib group achieved a ≥ 50% 
improvement from baseline in the modified MFSAF v2.0 diary total symptom score at Week 24 
compared with the placebo group (45.9% versus 5.3%, respectively, P < 0.0001).  At Week 24, 
the median total symptom scores were 6.6 and 17.6 in the ruxolitinib and placebo groups, 
respectively.  This represents a median improvement (score decrease) of 6.9 in the ruxolitinib 
group and a worsening (score increase) of 2.0 in the placebo group compared to baseline (Incyte 
confidential data on file).  The safety profile of ruxolitinib was consistent with previous studies, 
which included reversible thrombocytopenia and anemia.  Platelet counts declined over the first 
4 weeks of therapy in the ruxolitinib group, however the median count remained in the normal 
range.  Overall, 20 (12.9%) subjects in the INCB018424 group and 2 (1.3%) subjects in the 
placebo group had a new or worsening Grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia, usually as a single 
occurrence.  As in earlier studies, thrombocytopenia was managed with dose reductions and/or 
interruptions; only 1 subject receiving ruxolitinib discontinued from the study because of 
thrombocytopenia (Incyte confidential data on file). 
See the IB (Incyte Corporation) for additional details on clinical development of ruxolitinib. 
4.1.5. 
Interim Analysis Data from Study INCB 18424-258 
In Study INCB 18424-258, subjects with platelet counts of 50 to 100 x 109/L were enrolled to 
begin administration of ruxolitinib at 5 mg BID, which is a dose that represents a conservatively 
low starting dose, that data from earlier studies suggested should have a limited impact on 
platelet count.  Subjects could then titrate their dose to an appropriate dose that offers benefit (eg, 
symptomatic and/or spleen size improvements) with cautious monitoring to avoid levels of 
thrombocytopenia associated with higher risk of spontaneous hemorrhage.  Ruxolitinib 
administration was interrupted for a platelet count below 25 x 109/L or for Grade 2 or higher 
hemorrhage events. 
The study is currently in the enrollment phase; however, an interim analysis was conducted 
based on a data cutoff when it was expected that at least 20 subjects would have completed 
24 weeks of treatment.  At the time of the interim analysis, a total of 50 subjects had enrolled in 
the study.  Of the 50 subjects enrolled, 33 (66.0%) subjects completed the Week 24 visit,

8 (16.0%) discontinued prior to Week 24, and 9 (18.0%) subjects remained on study and had not 
yet completed their Week 24 visit. 
Most subjects were titrated to a ruxolitinib dose of 10 mg BID or higher by Week 24 and 20.0% 
of subjects had a ≥ 35% reduction in spleen volume at Week 24.  This is consistent with the 
proportion of subjects in Study INCB 18424-351 who had a ≥ 35% reduction in spleen volume at 
Week 24 who initiated treatment at a dose of 15 mg BID (21.8%), and substantially higher than 
that observed for placebo-treated subjects in Study INCB 18424-351 (1.7%).  In addition, 
Mesa et al (2011) has shown that a spleen volume reduction of ≥ 10% is associated with 
meaningful improvements in symptoms and other measures of patient-perceived benefit (Patient 
Global Impression of Change [PGIC] and Myelofibrosis Symptom Assessment Form 
[MFSAF v2.0]). 
In Study INCB 18424-258, the proportion of ruxolitinib-treated subjects achieving a ≥ 50% 
improvement in TSS at Week 24 was 34%.  This is consistent with the proportion of subjects in 
Study INCB 18424-351 who had a ≥ 50% improvement in TSS at Week 24 who initiated 
treatment at a dose of 15 mg BID (31.4%).  Although this was an unblinded study, the gradual 
time course of improvement is consistent with the gradual dose escalation in the study.  The 
proportion of subjects who achieved a ≥ 50% improvement in TSS gradually increased over time 
through approximately Week 13, which is consistent with the time that the majority of subjects 
reached 10 mg BID at Week 13.  This is in contrast with the rapid improvement seen in Study 
INCB 18424-351, suggesting that the observed effect is related to ruxolitinib titration. 
Subjects also showed improvement based on the PGIC, which is an assessment of overall 
impression of treatment benefit.  In Study INCB 18424-258 as early as Week 4, 36.6% of 
subjects rated themselves as much improved or very much improved, and at Week 24, 53.7% of 
subjects rated themselves as much improved or very much improved. 
There were no unexpected safety signals during this study.  The most common nonhematologic 
adverse events (AEs) were diarrhea (28.0%), peripheral edema (26.0%), nausea (24.0%), 
abdominal pain (24.0%), and fatigue (22.0%).  Most nonhematologic AEs were Grade 1 or 2.  
The majority of subjects were able to escalate to a dose of 10 mg BID and maintain platelet 
counts above 35 x 109/L.  Subjects who had dose decreases or interruptions per protocol showed 
recovery of platelet counts.  Based on laboratory values, 8 subjects (16%) had a Grade 4 
decreased platelet count (< 25 x 109/L).  One subject withdrew from the study because of 
thrombocytopenia. 
The gradual increase in dose from 5 mg BID in Study INCB 18424-258 seemed to avoid the 
initial drop in hemoglobin seen in Study INCB 18424-351, in which subjects began therapy with 
15 mg or 20 mg BID.  In addition, in Study INCB 18424-258, a maximum dose of 10 mg BID 
was not associated with significant changes in hemoglobin through Week 24 in subjects who did 
not receive transfusions through the study.   
These preliminary findings suggest that a dosing strategy starting with lower doses of ruxolitinib 
with subsequent dose optimization is efficacious and well tolerated in subjects who have platelet 
counts of 50 to 100 x 109/L at treatment initiation.  In most subjects, ruxolitinib could be titrated 
to 10 mg BID, which provided clinically meaningful reductions in spleen volume and TSS.  
Thrombocytopenia was manageable with dose reduction or dose interruption and mean 
hemoglobin levels remained stable throughout the study.  Although this study is ongoing, data

from this interim analysis will help support individualized ruxolitinib dosing strategies in 
subjects with MF and lower platelet counts. 
4.2. 
Trial Rationale 
As noted in the Introduction, the ongoing phase 1/2 study INCB 18424-251 in MF patients 
examined twice daily dose regimens ranging from 10 mg bid to 50 mg bid, and once daily dosing 
regimens ranging from 25 mg qd to 200 mg qd; doses of 50 mg bid and 200 mg qd were not well 
tolerated; 25 mg bid and 100 mg qd were designated maximum tolerated doses.  To date, all 
patients enrolling in this study, or in the ongoing Phase 3 studies, have been required to have a 
pre-study platelet count of at least 100 x109/L.  However, there is a significant population of MF 
patients who have chronic mild or moderate thrombocytopenia, with platelet counts in the range 
of 50 x109/L to 100 x109/L.  Based on epidemiology data (Mesa et al 2007), 16.5% of all MF 
patients are reported to have PLT counts < 100 x109/L at diagnosis.  According to chart reviews 
of nearly 800 subjects with PMF at the Mayo Clinic, the proportion of subjects with platelets 
below 100 x109 in various risk categories based on the Dynamic International Prognostic Scoring 
system (DIPSS) ranged from 7% for low risk to 32% in intermediate-2 risk groups (Gangat et al 
2011).  While JAK inhibition is clearly, and not unexpectedly, associated with decreasing 
platelet counts, emergent thrombocytopenia is easily detected, and can be managed with dose 
decreases or brief drug interruptions.  A Phase 1 /2 study with another JAK inhibitor, CYT387, is 
being conducted in subjects with platelet counts as low as 50 x109/L (http://clinicaltrials.gov, 
identifier: NCT00935987, Pardanani et al 2011). 
An exploratory analysis of subjects who enrolled in the Phase 1/2 study with platelet counts 
< 150 x109/L who had extended (many weeks) periods of Grade 1 or 2 platelet decline, was 
carried out in order to identify the dose(s) associated with stable platelet counts in the range of 
50 x109/L to 100 x109/L.  Fourteen subjects were identified that fit these criteria; 9 of the 
subjects maintained platelet counts between 50,000/µL and 100,000/µL while receiving 5 mg 
bid, 2 subjects maintained platelets in this range taking 10 mg bid, one subject was receiving 
10 mg PM/5 mg AM, one was receiving 5 mg qd and one was receiving 10 mg qd.  Importantly, 
splenomegaly and/or symptom improvements were maintained in 11 of the 14 subjects at a level 
similar to that observed with their initial, higher dose regimen.  These data suggest that a dose of 
5 mg bid, with dose escalation and reductions in response to platelet count response may be 
associated with symptom and spleen size improvements, while allowing platelet counts to be 
maintained near or above the 50 x109/L level.  In the present study, patients with Grade 1 and 2 
thrombocytopenia, having platelet counts of 50 x109/L to 100 x109/L will be enrolled to begin 
dosing at 5 mg bid, and titrated to an appropriate dose that offers benefit (symptomatic and/or 
spleen size improvements) balanced with risk (worsening thrombocytopenia).

Potential Risks and Benefits of the Treatment Regimen 
4.3.1. 
Potential Risks 
No specific findings in nonclinical repeat dose toxicity studies identify clinical risks other than 
noting that consequences of immunosuppression may occur.  Hypotension and increases in heart 
rate were noted at a high dose in a cardiovascular preclinical study.  However, these findings 
have not been recapitulated in a clinical setting.

CONFIDENTIAL 
The primary clinical risks with ruxolitinib treatment are the potential sequelae of decreased 
hematopoietic proliferation secondary to the inhibition of growth factor pathways by JAK2 
inhibition.  Dose-dependent, reversible thrombocytopenia has been observed in subjects with MF 
and represents the DLT.  The risk of spontaneous hemorrhage in patients as a result of 
thrombocytopenia generally does not become manifest until platelet counts fall below 10 x 109/L 
(Slichter 2004); platelet counts below 25 x 109/L (Grade 4) were not observed in any subjects 
initiating ruxolitinib at starting doses of 10 mg bid or 15 mg bid in the ongoing phase 1 /2 study.  
In the current study, dosing must be interrupted for platelet count below 25 x 109/L, or for 
Grade 2 or higher hemorrhage events that are assessed as at least possibly related to ruxolitinib 
therapy. 
Anemia and, less frequently, neutropenia have also been observed in patients with MF treated 
with ruxolitinib.  Increased rates of infection and anemia are potential risks of myelosuppression, 
and there are multiple sequelae of anemia including the burden and risks of transfusion.  A few 
subjects have had an apparent worsening of their pre-morbid disease symptoms following rapid 
cessation of ruxolitinib therapy and a gradual tapering and use of steroids in fragile subjects may 
be considered when stopping ruxolitinib therapy.   
4.3.2. 
Potential Benefits 
The clinical efficacy results of ruxolitinib that have emerged from the ongoing Phase 1/2 and 
Phase 3 studies are notable, including marked reduction in splenomegaly, improvement in 
symptoms, performance status and activity level, and reduction in plasma levels of 
inflammatory, prothrombotic and angiogenic cytokines.  In those subjects with prolonged 
exposure to ruxolitinib (median of 15 months therapy), these positive effects have been 
maintained.  In the present study, it is anticipated that individualized dose optimization from the 
starting level of 5 bid will be associated with reductions in splenomegaly, MF-associated 
symptoms and inflammatory cytokine levels.

20. Subjects with any concurrent condition that, in the investigator’s opinion, would 
jeopardize the safety of the subject or compliance with the protocol. 
21. Subjects who are unable to complete the daily symptom diary, which is available in 
English and Spanish versions. 
6.4. 
Subjects Who Fail to Meet Screening Criteria 
A subject who has a laboratory test result(s), vital signs, or ECG finding(s) that does not satisfy 
the entrance criteria may have the test(s) repeated once.  These tests may be repeated as soon as 
the investigator believes that the retest result is likely to be within the acceptable range to satisfy 
the entrance criteria, but must be completed within the 3 week screening phase (Days -28 to -8).  
In this case, the subject will not be required to sign another ICF, and the original subject 
identification number will be used.  In the event that the laboratory test(s) cannot be performed 
within the screening period, or the re-test(s) do not meet the entrance criteria or the subject’s 
medical condition has changed significantly during the screening phase so that 
inclusion/exclusion criteria are no longer met, the subject is considered a screen failure, and must 
be withdrawn from the study.  Therefore, sites should consider the testing schedule carefully so 
that any potential retests are accomplished in the 3 week time frame.  If the subject and 
investigator agree to re-screening, the subject must sign a new ICF, a new subject identification 
number will be assigned, and all required screening activities must be performed when the 
subject is re-screened for participation in the study (except bone marrow biopsy if already 
performed at screening).  An individual subject may only re-screen once for the study. 
If all screening activities cannot be completed in the screening phase because of an event 
unrelated to a laboratory finding, ECG finding, or medical history finding, including scheduling 
difficulties at the clinic site, the subject may retain the original subject number and complete the 
remaining screening activities as soon as possible, within a maximum of 42 days (6 weeks) from 
the original screening visit date.  A blood draw for hematology and serum chemistry must be 
taken at the time the subject returns for completion of screening activities, and will be used to 
determine eligibility.

INVESTIGATIONAL PLAN 
7.1. 
Overall Study Design 
This is an open label study of ruxolitinib in patients with PMF, PPV-MF, and PET-MF.  The 
study is comprised of 4 phases: 
Screening: 
Up to 21 days 
Baseline: 
Exactly 7 days 
Core Treatment Phase: 
24 weeks   
Extended Treatment Phase: 
132 weeks; subjects receiving benefit will continue 
ruxolitinib treatment until Week 156  
Follow-up Phase: 
All subjects will be followed for safety (eg, reporting of 
AEs and SAEs) for 30 to 37 days after the last dose of 
study drug is administered  
Core Treatment Phase: 
During the core treatment phase, there will be study visits and laboratory-only visits.  Subjects 
will have a regularly scheduled study visit at screening, baseline, Day 1, Week 4, Week 8, 
Week 12, Week 16, Week 20 and Week 24, where blood samples, assessments, spleen 
measurements, etc. will be obtained.  All hematology labs and coagulation parameters will be 
analyzed by local laboratories.  Serum chemistries, serology, and lipid panel will be analyzed by 
a central laboratory. 
Subjects will have laboratory-only visits to collect hematology lab samples at Week 1, Week 2, 
Week 3, Week 5, Week 6, Week 7, Week 10, Week 14, and Week 18.  The laboratory visits at 
Week 14 and Week 18 may be skipped for subjects who do not increase their dose at Week 12 or 
Week 16, and who have maintained platelet counts > 75 x 109/L since the last hematology 
assessment.  Additional, at least weekly laboratory-only visits to collect hematology lab samples 
will be required if platelet count falls below 35 x 109/L; more frequent monitoring is 
recommended if counts fall below 25 x 109/L.  These laboratory visits can occur at the study site 
laboratory, or any local laboratory that can provide the data and appropriate certificates and 
normal laboratory ranges to the study site for review for subject management in a timely fashion.   
Subjects will have an MRI of the upper and lower abdomen and pelvis to determine the spleen 
volume at baseline and Week 24.  A CT scan will be substituted for subjects who are not 
candidates for MRI, or when MRI is not readily available.  Patients Global Impression of Change 
(PGIC) questionnaire will be completed monthly.  Measurement of spleen length below the left 
costal margin will be measured by palpation at each study visit.  
Subjects will complete an electronic symptom diary from baseline through the Week 24 visits 
(total of 25 weeks).  Subjects will be trained on the use and care of the diary, and symptom diary 
data will be transmitted automatically each night wirelessly or using the diary docking station 
provided to subjects.

Extended Treatment Phase: 
Subjects will have a study visit every 12 weeks (eg, Weeks 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 
144, and 156), through Week 156 where blood samples, clinical assessments, and palpable 
spleen measurements, etc. will be obtained.  Subjects will have laboratory-only visits to collect 
hematology samples 6 weeks after the Week 24 visit (eg, Week 30), then after each extended 
treatment phase visit (eg, Weeks 42, 54, 66, 78, 90, 102, 114, 126, 138, and 150).  Additional 
hematology assessments will be required if the subject has a dose modification or as clinically 
indicated. 
Follow-Up Phase: 
All subjects will be followed for safety (eg, reporting of AEs and serious AEs) for 30 to 37 days 
after the last dose of study drug is administered.  
7.2. 
Study Endpoints 
7.2.1. 
Co-Primary Endpoints 
• Correlation of % change in spleen volume at Week 24 compared to baseline versus 
final titrated dose. 
• Correlation of % change in Total Symptom Score as measured by the modified 
MFSAF v2.0 diary at Week 24 compared to baseline versus final titrated dose. 
7.2.2. 
Safety Endpoints: 
• Safety and tolerability will be assessed by monitoring the frequency, duration and 
severity of adverse events, performing physical examinations, collecting vital signs, 
collecting laboratory data for hematology, serum chemistry, and coagulation 
parameters through Week 156.  In addition, analyses will include: 
− Proportion of subjects with new onset Grade 4 thrombocytopenia events as 
assessed by CTCAE v4.03. 
− Proportion of subjects with new onset Grade 2 or higher hemorrhage as assessed 
by CTCAE v4.03. 
7.2.3. 
Secondary Endpoints 
• Percent change in spleen volume at Week 24 compared to Baseline. 
• Percent change in Total Symptom Score as measured by the modified MFSAF v2.0 
diary at Week 24 compared to baseline. 
• Proportion of subjects with ≥ 35% reduction in spleen volume at Week 24 compared 
to baseline. 
• Proportion of subjects with ≥ 10% reduction in spleen volume at Week 24 compared 
to baseline. 
• Proportion of subjects with ≥ 50% improvement in total symptom score as measured 
by the modified MFSAF v2.0 diary at Week 24 compared to baseline.

• Long-term efficacy of ruxolitinib will be assessed by monitoring change and percent 
change in spleen length, as measured by palpation, and change in PGIC score from 
baseline to each visit where the variables are measured through Week 156. 
7.3. 
Measures Taken to Avoid Bias 
This is an open label study.  Measurement of spleen volume by MRI (or CT scan in applicable 
subjects) and determination of thrombocytopenia grade (by CTCAE criteria) are objective 
responses. 
7.4. 
Number of Subjects 
Approximately 150 subjects may be enrolled. 
7.5. 
Criteria for Study Termination 
Both the Sponsor and the Investigator reserve the right to terminate the study, according to the 
terms specified in the study contract.  The Investigator is to notify the IRB/IEC in writing of the 
study’s completion or early termination, and send a copy of the notification to the Sponsor or 
Sponsor’s designee and retain one copy for the site study regulatory file.

TREATMENT OF SUBJECTS 
8.1. 
Treatment Arms and Study Drug Administration 
All subjects will begin dosing at 5 mg bid ruxolitinib.  Doses should be taken morning and 
evening, approximately 12 hours apart, and without regards to food. 
Dose increases will be allowed for subjects with adequate platelet counts, and mandatory dose 
reductions and interruptions will be required for declining platelet counts, declining ANC levels 
or Grade 2 and higher hemorrhage events.  See Section 8.6, Dose Adjustments. 
8.2. 
Treatment Compliance 
Subjects will bring all bottles of unopened, empty, and opened/partially used study drug with 
them to each study visit.  Investigative site staff will perform a count of returned pills to assess 
compliance, and this information will be entered on the eCRF.  Study drug, including all bottles 
of unopened, partially opened or empty bottles cannot be returned to the depot until a monitor 
reviews and verifies all pill counts for compliance. 
8.3. 
Randomization and Blinding 
Not applicable, study is open label and single arm. 
8.4. 
Duration of Treatment and Subject Participation 
Participation will be for approximately 165 weeks and 2 days, including the screening and 
baseline phases (see Section 9.1), core treatment phase (see Section 9.2), extended treatment 
phase (see Section 9.3), and follow-up phase (see Section 9.5). 
8.5. 
Considerations for Dose Modifications 
Inhibition of JAKs by a JAK 1/2 inhibitor such as ruxolitinib is associated with 
thrombocytopenia and anemia in subjects with MF.  See the Investigator’s Brochure for 
additional details on hematologic consequences of JAK inhibition.  Platelet count, ANC and 
hemoglobin levels will be assessed on a regular basis.  Complete blood count (CBC) will be 
monitored more frequently in the first few weeks of the study, and more frequent monitoring 
may be done at the Investigator’s discretion at any time.   
8.6. 
Dose Adjustments  
The goal of dose modifications in the study is to permit individual dose optimization for subjects 
to obtain maximum benefit, while maintaining a stable platelet count > 25 x 109/L, and an 
ANC > 0.5 x 109/L. 
8.6.1. 
Dose Increases 
Dose increases are optional.

During the core treatment phase, doses of ruxolitinib may be increased in 5 mg qd increments 
up to a dose of 10 mg bid starting at the Week 4 visit and at subsequent study visits.  Dose 
increases can occur no more frequently than every 4 weeks, and only if: 
• Platelet count was always ≥ 40 x 109/L since the last scheduled study visit 
• Platelet count, if decreased since the last scheduled study visit, is decreased by no 
more than 20% of the platelet count at the last scheduled visit 
• No dose decreases or holds for safety have occurred during the preceding 4-week 
interval 
• ANC > 1.0 x 109/L since the last scheduled study visit. 
• For subjects with prior ≥ Grade 2 hemorrhage events, please see below under 
Section 8.6.3.4, Restarting with Resolution of Hemorrhage Events 
Doses may not exceed 10 mg bid except in subjects who continue to meet the above dose 
escalation criteria, and who have, in addition, a PGIC score of 3 (minimally improved) to 7 (very 
much worse) while receiving 10 mg bid.  Such subjects may continue dose escalation to a 
maximum dose of 15 mg bid.  Note that when a 5 mg qd increment is added, creating a regimen 
such as 5 mg/10 mg, the higher dose should be taken in the evening and the lower dose in the 
morning.  
During the extended treatment phase, doses of ruxolitinib may be increased in 5 mg qd 
increments up to a dose of 25 mg bid if the subject meets the above dose escalation criteria, or 
per the investigator’s discretion. 
Doses may never exceed 25 mg bid. 
8.6.2. 
Mandatory Dose Interruptions, Dose Discontinuations and Dose Reductions 
Dosing must be held if any of the following occur: 
• Platelet counts decline below 25 x 109/L (dosing must be interrupted immediately.  A 
repeat assessment should be performed as soon as feasible, but follow-up platelet 
values to trigger the restart guidelines from Section 8.6.3 may only follow beginning 
at least 3 days later).  
• ANC declines to < 0.5 x 109/L.   
• Ongoing Grade 2 or higher hemorrhage event, regardless of causality. 
The dose must be reduced for a confirmed platelet count < 35 x 109/L as follows:  
• An observation of platelets between 25 x 109/L and 35 x 109/L should trigger a repeat 
laboratory measurement of platelet counts.  Dosing need not be adjusted until the 
results of the confirmatory test are known. 
• The reduction will be based on the current dose, and on the rapidity with which 
counts declined to the < 35 x 109/L level and are ≥ 25 x 109/L (see Table 2).  
• Subjects who have implemented a dose reduction because of platelets falling below 
35 x 109/L DO NOT need to further decrease their dose provided the platelet count 
remains ≥ 25 x 109/L even if they remain below 35 x 109/L.   
• Mandatory dose reductions are summarized in Table 2.

Section 8.6.1 (Dose Increases).   
8.6.3. 
Restarting or Increasing Ruxolitinib after Recovery of Platelet or ANC Levels or 
Resolution of Hemorrhage 
Note that the restarting and re-escalation doses in this section are the maximum allowed under 
this protocol.  Individual investigators may elect to adopt a more cautious approach to restarting 
or escalating doses at their discretion, but they may not restart sooner or re-escalate more rapidly 
than outlined in this section. 
8.6.3.1. 
Restarting or Re-Escalating with Improving Platelet Counts 
For subjects who had never previously increased their dose above 5 mg bid, and have a platelet 
count decline necessitating drug hold, ruxolitinib may be restarted as follows: 
• Ruxolitinib may be restarted at 5 mg qd when the platelet count has risen above 
35 x 109/L. 
• After no less than 2 weeks, and provided there are at least 2 consecutive platelet count 
results, at least 3 days apart, of ≥ 40 x 109/L, the dose may be increased to 5 mg bid.  
No further increase in dose is allowed. 
• A second platelet decline below 25 x 109/L will necessitate a second drug hold.  
Ruxolitinib may be restarted at 5 mg qd when the platelet count has risen above 
35 x 109/L.  No further increase in dose is allowed. 
− The subject may remain on 5 mg qd provided platelet counts remain ≥ 25 x 109/L.

For subjects who had previously increased their dose to a level above 5 mg bid, and have a 
platelet count decline necessitating drug hold, ruxolitinib may be restarted as follows: 
• Ruxolitinib may be restarted at 5 mg qd when the platelet count has risen above 
35 x 109/L. 
• After no less than 2 weeks, and provided there are at least 2 consecutive platelet count 
results, at least 3 days apart, of ≥ 40 x 109/L, the dose may be increased to a dose up 
to the highest dose that previously qualified for further dose increases according to 
Section 8.6.1 (Dose Increases).  For example, if a subject tolerated 10 mg bid 
ruxolitinib and qualified for a dose increase, but the platelet counts fell sharply at the 
increased dose of 10 mg AM/15 mg PM, and drug was halted; the highest dose this 
subject may now use is the previously tolerated dose of 10 mg bid.   
• A second platelet decline below 25 x 109/L will necessitate a second drug hold.  
Ruxolitinib may be restarted at 5 mg qd when the platelet count has risen above 
35 x 109/L, and may be increased to 5 mg bid after ≥ 2 weeks with at least 2 
consecutive measures above 40 x 109/L at least 3 days apart.  No further increase in 
dose is allowed. 
For subjects who previously decreased dose, but never held dose, dose increases using the dose 
increase guidelines in Section 8.6.1 may be implemented once platelet counts are ≥ 40 x 109/L on 
at least 2 consecutive measurements at least 3 days apart, however, the maximum dose may not 
exceed the higher of a dose of 5 mg bid or a dose that is 5 mg qd less than the dose at the time 
the decline to below 35 x 109 first began.   
8.6.3.2. 
Use of Platelet Transfusions 
Platelet transfusions may be used at Investigator’s discretion to treat thrombocytopenia.  Dosing 
restart or increase decisions may not be based on platelet count values observed within 7 days of 
a platelet transfusion. 
8.6.3.3. 
Restarting or Re-Escalating with Improving ANC 
For subjects who had never previously increased their dose above 5 mg bid, and have an ANC 
decline necessitating drug hold, ruxolitinib may be restarted as follows:   
• The dose may be restarted at 5 mg qd when ANC levels are > 0.75 x 109/L.   
• After no less than 2 weeks, and provided there are at least 2 consecutive ANC levels 
≥ 1.0 x 109/L at least 3 days apart, the dose may be increased to 5 mg bid.  No further 
increase in dose is allowed. 
• A second ANC decline below 0.5 x 109/L will necessitate a second drug hold.  
Ruxolitinib may be restarted at 5 mg qd when the ANC is > 0.75 x 109/L.  No further 
increase in dose is allowed

For subjects who had previously increased their dose to a level above 5 mg bid, and have an 
ANC decline necessitating drug hold, ruxolitinib may be restarted as follows:   
− The dose may be restarted at 5 mg qd when ANC levels are > 0.75 x 109/L.   
− After no less than 2 weeks, and provided there are at least 2 consecutive ANC 
levels  ≥ 1.0 x 109/L at least 3 days apart, the dose may be increased to a dose up 
to the highest dose that previously qualified for further dose increases according 
to Section 8.6.1 (Dose Increases). 
− A second ANC decline below 0.5 x 109/L will necessitate a second drug hold.  
Ruxolitinib may be restarted at 5 mg qd when the ANC is > 0.75 x 109/L, and 
may be increased to 5 mg bid with at least 2 consecutive measures, at least 3 days 
apart of ≥ 1.0 x 109/L.  No further increase in dose is allowed. 
In order to provide sufficient data to make the dose restart decisions, it is recommended that 
hematology parameters be obtained at least 2 times weekly for platelet count < 25 x 109/L, or for 
ANC levels < 0.5 x 109/L.  
8.6.3.4. 
Restarting with Resolution of Hemorrhage Event 
• For Grade 2 hemorrhage events of any causality, dosing may be restarted at the prior 
level once the event is resolved to Grade 0, and its underlying cause has been 
alleviated or resolved, as long as platelet count and ANC do not preclude a restart at 
that dose level.  Restart of dosing after a second Grade 2 hemorrhage event may only 
occur following discussion with the sponsor taking into account causality, resolution 
of the bleeding and underlying etiology and likelihood of recurrence, in order to reach 
agreement that the potential benefits of a restart at an appropriate dose outweigh risks 
of recurrent hemorrhage. 
• For Grade 3 or 4 hemorrhage events of any causality, dosing may only be restarted 
provided: platelet count and ANC do not preclude a restart, the event has resolved to 
Grade 0, and the underlying cause has been alleviated or resolved, and following 
discussion with the sponsor taking into account causality, resolution of the bleeding 
and underlying etiology and likelihood of recurrence, in order to reach agreement that 
the potential benefits of a restart at an appropriate dose outweigh risks of recurrent 
hemorrhage.  Further dose escalations in these subjects will also require discussion 
with the sponsor. 
Note that if more than one finding (thrombocytopenia, neutropenia or hemorrhage) was the 
cause for the dose reduction or interruption, improvements in all parameters must be considered 
in restarting ruxolitinib and the lowest calculated dose must be used.    
8.6.4. 
Possible Changes in Study Conduct Because of Frequent Hemorrhage or 
Thrombocytopenia Events 
Events of Grade 4 thrombocytopenia and > Grade 2 hemorrhage will be reported by Investigators 
to sponsor on a continuous basis, and this data will be reviewed by sponsor on an ongoing basis.  
A Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) will also review this data.  The protocol may be modified 
on the basis of this ongoing safety monitoring.  See Section 11.7, Data Safety Monitoring for a

complete description of study safety monitoring for Grade 4 thrombocytopenia, and > Grade 2 
hemorrhage events, and possible changes in study conduct. 
8.6.5. 
Management of Anemia 
Subjects with a hemoglobin level < 6.5 g/dL must receive red cell transfusion(s) to maintain a 
level of ≥ 6.5 g/dL. Erythropoietin (EPO) use is discouraged, but is permitted at the 
Investigator’s discretion, although use is not permitted in lieu of transfusions for hemoglobin 
below 6.5 g/dL. 
8.6.6. 
Optional Dose Tapering Strategy 
In ongoing clinical studies with ruxolitinib, exacerbation of underlying cardiopulmonary disease 
and return of MF symptoms has been occasionally observed in subjects after drug 
discontinuation.  When a decision is made to permanently discontinue ruxolitinib therapy for 
reasons other than low platelet counts or ANC levels, tapering of ruxolitinib dosage may be 
considered, based on evaluation of the condition of the subject, current dose regimen and the 
clinical judgment of the investigator.  Doses of ruxolitinib may be very slowly lowered until the 
subject is completely off drug.  If medically indicated, doses of ruxolitinib may be temporarily 
restarted after they have been discontinued.  If considered to be medically necessary, the 
investigator may use any treatment to manage withdrawal from ruxolitinib including, but not 
limited to, the management of events which may be secondary to discontinuation, and 
interruption or reduction of dose administered of ruxolitinib.  Short-term courses of high-dose 
corticosteroids, equivalent to doses of > 10 mg/day of prednisolone have been used to moderate 
the withdrawal of ruxolitinib and may be considered as part of a tapering strategy.  
Corticosteroids may be started prior to, or concurrent with, ruxolitinib tapering in anticipation of 
the possibility of occurrence of withdrawal symptoms.  When a decision has been made to 
discontinue the subject with utilization of a tapering strategy, regardless of the use of 
concomitant medications, safety data will continue to be assessed in accordance with the 
protocol.  An end of study and subsequent follow-up visit must be scheduled.  
8.6.7. 
Procedures for Interruption of Study Medication 
In some circumstances, it may be necessary to temporarily interrupt treatment as a result of 
adverse experiences that may have an unclear relationship to study drug.  Except in cases of 
emergency, it is recommended that the Investigator consult with the Sponsor Medical Monitor 
(or other representative of the Sponsor) before temporarily interrupting therapy for reasons other 
than protocol mandated medication holds for platelet or ANC counts.  Additionally, the 
Investigator must notify the sponsor’s medical monitor and study project manager via email 
before restarting study drug that was temporarily discontinued for an adverse experience. 
8.6.8. 
Procedures for Permanent Discontinuation of Study Drug 
In the event that any subject discontinues the study drug and subsequently withdraws from the 
study prior to completion, regardless of reason, reasonable efforts should be made to have the 
subject return for an early termination visit and have the end-of-treatment procedures completed 
as described in Section 9.4.

The date the subject discontinued the study drug and the specific reason for discontinuation will 
be recorded in the eCRF.  This will include reasons such as discontinuation due to treatment 
failure or withdrawn due to adverse event.  This information will be used to summarize the 
reasons for study discontinuation and treatment failure. 
8.7. 
Withdrawal of Subjects from the Study 
8.7.1. 
Withdrawal Criteria 
Subjects may choose to withdraw from the study at any time without penalty of jeopardizing 
their health care or loss of benefits to which the subject is otherwise entitled.  Every reasonable 
effort should be made to determine the reason a subject withdraws prematurely, and this 
information should be recorded in the eCRF.   
A subject may be withdrawn from the study, if, in the investigator’s expert medical judgment, 
the subject is non-compliant with the study requirements.  Subjects may be withdrawn at the 
discretion of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the investigator.   
Subjects must be discontinued from study drug and withdrawn from the study for the following 
reasons: 
• In the Investigator’s medical judgment, further participation would be injurious to the 
subject’s health or well-being 
• Positive urine pregnancy test, confirmed by positive serum pregnancy (serum human 
chorionic gonadotropin) test results 
• Consent is withdrawn 
• Termination of the study by the sponsor, local health authority, or IRB/IEC. 
• The subject requires splenic irradiation. 
• The subjects exhibits leukemic transformation (as evidenced by bone marrow blast 
counts of at least 20%, or peripheral blast counts of at least 20% lasting at least 
8 consecutive weeks). 
• The subject cannot maintain platelet counts of at least 25 x 109/L over a given 4 week 
interval at the lowest possible dose of 5 mg qd. 
• The subject experiences 3 or more Grade 2 hemorrhage events. Note withdrawal after 
a second Grade 2 hemorrhage event may occur following the sponsor and investigator 
review of pertinent data. 
• The subject experiences 2 hemorrhage events of ≥ Grade 2, at least one of which is 
Grade 3 or Grade 4, and believed to be from the same source or etiology.   
If a subject is withdrawn from the study:   
• The study monitor or sponsor must be notified.   
• The reason(s) for withdrawal must be documented in the subject’s medical record and 
eCRF.   
• The end-of-treatment/early termination visit should be performed. 

Incyte Corporation

• All subjects must be followed for safety until the time of the follow-up evaluation or 
until study drug related toxicities resolve, return to baseline or are deemed 
irreversible, whichever is longer.  
8.8. 
Concomitant Medications and Measures 
All concomitant medications and treatments must be recorded in the CRF.  Any prior medication 
received up to 30 days prior to the baseline visit will be recorded in the CRF.  Concomitant 
treatments that are required to manage a subject’s medical condition during the study will also be 
recorded in the CRF.   
8.9. 
Restricted and Prohibited Medications and Measures 
8.9.1. 
Restricted Medications and Measures 
The following medications have restrictions on use or doses that may be used during this study: 
• Aspirin in doses exceeding 81 mg per day is not permitted.  Low dose aspirin 
(81 mg/day or less) is permitted. Acetaminophen and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory 
agents (eg, ibuprofen, NSAIDs) may be used at over-the-counter doses.  Subjects 
receiving over-the-counter NSAIDs should not exceed the recommended dose and 
should be encouraged to use gastroprotective agents (antacids, H2 antagonists, or 
proton pump inhibitors).   
• Inducers of CYP3A4 (Appendix 8) may be used with caution, and investigators 
should seek other options if available. 
• Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors (Appendix 8) may be used with caution.  Differences in 
individual sensitivity and variation in potency of inhibition of various CYP enzymes 
may result in the need for a reduced dose of ruxolitinib during a period of 
concomitant medication use.  If required for safety, the study drug dose may be 
reduced from bid to qd in these circumstances.  The sponsor’s medical monitor may 
be consulted for advice when using these agents. 
• Use of potent inhibitors of CYP3A4 (ketoconazole, clarithromycin, itraconazole, 
nefazodone or telithromycin, voriconazole or posaconazole, see Appendix 8) and use 
of fluconazole should be avoided, and if used, a 50% ruxolitinib dose reduction is 
recommended along with frequent platelet monitoring during the period of co-
administration.  Based on the low overall bioavailability of topical ketoconazole, 
there are no restrictions on topical ketoconazole in the study. 
• Hematopoietic growth factor receptor agonists (eg, erythropoietin) may be used at 
investigator’s discretion in certain circumstances as described in Section 8.6.5, 
Management of Anemia.   
• If concomitant administration of an anticoagulant/antiplatelet medication is indicated, 
caution and enhanced monitoring is required.  History of thrombocytopenia, and any 
concurrent ruxolitinib-related thrombocytopenia should be a factor in the choice of 
anticoagulant and dose.  Medications that interfere with coagulation or inhibit platelet 
function are listed in Appendix 9.

8.9.2. 
Prohibited Medications and Measures 
• Any prior or concomitant use of another JAK inhibitor. 
• Any investigational medication other than the study drugs.  Use of such medications 
within 14 days or 6 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to the first dose of study 
drug and during the study through the follow-up visit is prohibited.   
• Systemic corticosteroid doses greater than the equivalent of 10 mg prednisolone per 
day are not permitted, unless use is part of a ruxolitinib dose tapering strategy (see 
Section 8.6.6 Optional Dose Tapering Strategy). 
• Romiplostim or eltrombopag are not permitted beginning with the baseline visit 
(Day -7) through the final dose of ruxolitinib.  
• St John’s Wort and rifampin are not permitted at any time during participation in the 
study. 
• Use of hydroxyurea, interferon, thalidomide, busulfan, lenalidomide, anagrelide, or 
any investigational medication used to treat MF is not permitted at any time 
beginning on Day -14 up until the time that ruxolitinib therapy is permanently 
discontinued.  Use of androgens to treat anemia is permitted.

a If all screening activities cannot be completed in the screening phase because of an event unrelated to a laboratory finding, ECG finding, or medical history finding, including 
scheduling difficulties at the clinic site, the subject may retain the original subject number and complete the remaining screening activities as soon as possible, within a 
maximum of 42 days (6 weeks) from the original screening visit date. 
b Complete transfusion history should be recorded where possible, but must include at least the 12 weeks prior to screening. 
c Confirm that all drugs, used to treat the underlying MF disease are discontinued by Day -14, so that at least 1 week will have elapsed between the last dose of medication(s) used 
to treat MF and the baseline MRI (or CT scan in applicable subjects) and diary dispensing. 
d Height will be measured at the screening visit only. 
e The targeted physical examination should include the subject's weight. 
f A bone marrow biopsy is required at screening or baseline if a biopsy was not previously obtained within the prior 2 months or if all data from the samples are not available.   
g MRI of the upper and lower abdomen and pelvis will be performed, to assess spleen volumes.  CT scan may be performed if subject is not a candidate for MRI, or if MRI is not 
readily available.  The MRI (or CT scan in applicable subjects) should be performed on the first or second day of the baseline period (ie, Day -7 or Day -6), and the site 
radiologist should send the scan to the central imaging laboratory that same day. 
h The first MRI may be delayed for up to 2 weeks because of scheduling or other issues at the clinic site, but must be completed within 56 days, maximum from the start of the 
original Screening Visit date, and this must occur prior to the subject receiving the first dose of study drug. 
i An MRI should be conducted at the end of treatment visit only if treatment was is discontinued prior to Week 24. 
 
 
k Reminder cards will be sent home with subjects to state upcoming visit scheduling, and to record the time subjects took their last dose of study drug prior to each visit. 
l On Day 1, the first dose of ruxolitinib will be administered to the subject in a fasted state at the site and the exact time of administration will be recorded on the eCRF. 
m Subject should be instructed NOT to take the morning dose of study drug on the day of the Week 4 study visit, as study drug will be administered to the subject in a fasted state 
at  the clinic.

a For blood samples drawn at baseline, Day 1, Week 4, and Week 24, subjects should arrive in a fasted state after an overnight fast of at least 8 hours or since midnight.  Lack of 
fasting will be noted on the eCRF page regarding blood sampling, but this will not constitute a protocol violation or deviation. 
b Extended treatment phase visits will occur at Weeks 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144 (eg, every 12 weeks).  Subjects will have laboratory-only visits to collect 
hematology samples 6 weeks after the Week 24 visit (eg, Week 30), then after each extended treatment phase visit (eg, Weeks 42, 54, 66, 78, 90, 102, 114, 126, 138, and 150).  
Additional hematology assessments will be required if the subject has a dose modification or as clinically indicated. 
c Blood samples for hematology and serum chemistry should be taken as close as possible to Day 1.  If, on the baseline assessment of serum chemistry and hematology 
parameters, an exclusionary value is observed, the test may be repeated once, no more than 3 days following the first observation. 
d The laboratory visits at Week 14 and Week 18 may be skipped for subjects who do not increase their dose at Week 12 or Week 16, and who have maintained platelet counts > 75 
x 109/L since the last hematology assessment.  Additional, twice-weekly laboratory-only visits to collect hematology lab samples will be required if platelet count falls below 35 
x 109/L.

9.1. 
Screening + Baseline Phase 
The screening + baseline phase may not exceed 28 days (4 weeks), with the exception of delays 
caused by scheduling issues, see Section 6.4).  The length of the screening visit for a given 
individual subject will be determined by the requirement to discontinue all drugs used to treat 
MF at least 7 days prior to the first baseline evaluation (ie, must discontinue prior MF therapy by 
Day -14).  Subjects who are not currently taking any drugs to treat their MF may complete all 
screening activities in a few days, and proceed to the baseline phase. 
9.1.1. 
Screening Assessments  
Prospective participants will be scheduled for a screening visit by site staff.  A subject number 
will be assigned by an Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS).  All procedures for screening 
and baseline must be completed within the 21-day screening + 7-day baseline phase, except as 
noted in Section 6.4.  The following procedures will be performed: 
Obtain informed consent before any study specific procedures are conducted. 
• A subject number will be assigned by IVRS. 
• Review of eligibility criteria including discussion of methods known to be at least 
99% effective in preventing pregnancy (Appendix 3). 
• Review of medical history, prior medication history and prior history of medications 
used to treat MF (see Section 8.8, Prior and Concomitant Medications).  Record 
medication histories on the eCRF. 
• Review of transfusion history.  Complete transfusion history should be recorded 
where possible, but must include at least the 12 weeks prior to Screening.  The history 
should be recorded on the eCRF. 
• Confirm that all drugs, used to treat underlying MF disease will be discontinued by 
Day -14, so that at least 1 week will have elapsed between the last dose of 
medication(s) used to treat MF and the baseline MRI (or CT scan in applicable 
subjects) and diary dispensing.  Prior MF medication(s) may be discontinued in one 
of the 3 following ways: 
1. Prior to and independent of considering enrollment in this study (prior to signing 
the ICF).  These subjects can proceed to the baseline visit as soon as screening 
activities are completed, 7 days have elapsed since the prior MF medications were 
discontinued and eligibility is verified. 
2. At the time of signing the ICF.  These subjects can proceed to the baseline visit 
7 days after signing the ICF, if screening activities are completed and eligibility is 
verified. 
3. After confirming eligibility via the screening symptom form, laboratory 
assessments, and medical history.  These subjects must obtain necessary screening 
visit results within the first 14 days in order to have 7 days for drug 
discontinuation prior to baseline (total screening time elapsed = 21 days).

CONFIDENTIAL 
• NOTE:  The timing for the screening hematology blood samples should take 
the possible discontinuation of a prior MF therapy into account, in order to 
allow time for possible recovery of low platelet count values caused by the 
prior MF regimen.  It is suggested that the hematology blood sample be taken 
around Day -8, eg, at the end of the possible wash-out period for prior 
therapy. 
• Complete Screening Symptom Form. 
• Record adverse events. 
• Comprehensive physical examination including body weight and height. 
• Measurement of spleen length below the costal margin by palpation.  
• Vital signs  
• ECOG status assessment. 
• 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG).  
• Bone marrow biopsy for confirmation of MF diagnosis.  NOTE:  a bone marrow 
biopsy at screening or baseline is required if a biopsy was not previously obtained 
within the prior 2 months or if all data from the samples are not available for review 
by the Study Investigator of Study INCB 18424-258.  The prior data will need to be 
entered into the eCRF for this study, with explanation as to the origin of the data (date 
of biopsy).   
• Blood sampling for the following laboratory tests (see Appendix 4): 
− Serum chemistry tests  
− Hematology  
− Coagulation tests  
− Serum pregnancy test (females of childbearing potential only)  
− Serology tests for HIV and hepatitis  
9.1.2. 
Baseline Assessments 
The results from the screening visit evaluations will be reviewed to determine if the subject 
continues to meet the eligibility requirements as specified in the protocol.  Subjects who have 
signed the ICF and meet all the entry criteria (see Section 6) may be enrolled in the study, and 
will be contacted by clinical site staff to schedule the baseline visit. Subjects will be reminded by 
site staff that they must arrive for the baseline visit where blood draws for lipid profile will be 
taken after an overnight fast of at least 8 hours or since midnight.  
Subjects will begin completing the evening diary the evening of the first baseline assessment 
(Day -7).  The MRI (or CT scan in applicable subjects) should be conducted on the first or 
second day to allow ample time for the central imaging laboratory to verify scan quality.  Blood 
samples for hematology and serum chemistry should be taken as close as possible to Day 1, but 
in ample time for the results to be returned from the central laboratory (or in the case of

hematology and coagulation labs, the local laboratory).  If, on the baseline assessment of serum 
chemistry and hematology parameters, an exclusionary value is observed, the test may be 
repeated once, no more than 3 days following the first observation.   
The following procedures will be performed during the 7-day baseline period and prior to 
enrollment for all subjects:  
• Confirm that the subject continues to meet all eligibility criteria. 
• Update medication history and concurrent medications; confirm that all drugs used to 
treat underlying MF disease have been discontinued for at least 7 days.   
• Update transfusion history status. 
• Record adverse events. 
• Conduct a comprehensive physical examination. 
• Measurement of spleen length below the costal margin by palpation.  
• Vital signs.  
• ECOG status assessment. 
 
 
• Bone marrow biopsy (only if not performed at screening and no prior biopsy data are 
available to the Investigator for review). 
• Blood sampling for the following laboratory tests (see Appendix 4): 
− Serum chemistry tests  
− Hematology  
− Coagulation tests  
− Lipid panel 
 
 
 
 
 
 
• MRI of the upper and lower abdomen and pelvis will be performed, to assess spleen 
volumes.  CT scan may be performed if subject is not a candidate for MRI, or if MRI is 
not readily available.  The MRI (or CT scan in applicable subjects) should be performed 
on the first or second day of the baseline period (ie, Day -7 or Day -6), and the site 
radiologist should send the scan to the central imaging laboratory that same day.  Scans 
can be sent by file transfer protocol (ftp) or by mailing it on a CD-ROM by pre-paid 
mailer provided for the study.  The MRI central reader will assess the quality of the scan 
and will send a notice of acceptance via FAX and/or email to the site within 48 hours of 
receipt of the scan at their offices.  A notice of acceptance MUST be received by the site 
before the subject can begin dosing.  If a notice of “non-acceptance” is received by the 
investigator, the subject must have a repeat MRI (or CT in applicable subjects) prior to

receiving the first dose of study drug.  This MRI should be performed within 2 weeks of 
the first MRI.  In rare cases, the central imaging laboratory may suggest that CT scan be 
performed instead of MRI because of subject’s abdominal anatomy.   
− NOTE: the first MRI may be delayed for up to 2 weeks because of scheduling or 
other issues at the clinic site, but must be completed within 56 days, maximum 
from the start of the original screening visit date, and this must occur prior to the 
subject receiving the first dose of study drug.  
− In the case where the MRI is delayed for scheduling or other issues, or a repeat 
MRI is required because of scan quality issues, a repeat hematology assessment 
should be completed 2 to 7 days prior to the planned Day 1. 
• Distribution of modified MFSAF v2.0 diary.  Subjects will be issued a hand-held device, 
and will complete the diary questions each night beginning on Day -7 up to the Week 24 
Visit.  Subjects will be instructed to place the device on the docking station (also 
provided), for automatic data transmittal each night after completing the questions.  
Subjects will be instructed to leave the device in the docking station when not answering 
the questions so that the unit remains fully charged.  Subjects will receive training on the 
device by study site staff prior to leaving the site.  Subjects will bring the device with 
them to Study Visits on Day 1, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16 and Week 20 so that 
the device charging can be verified, and to download accumulated data.  The device will 
then be returned to the subject at these same visits for continued use each night.  Subjects 
will return the device and the docking station for the final time at the Week 24 Visit, so 
that all data can be archived.  All subjects will complete the diary through Week 24. 
• Subjects will be given a reminder card with the date and time of the Day 1 visit.  Subjects 
will be reminded to arrive for the study visit after an overnight fast of at least 8 hours or 
since midnight. 
9.2. 
Core Treatment Phase 
Refer to Table 3, Study Visit Assessments and Table 4, Scheduled Laboratory Assessments for 
procedures to be performed at on-study visits and laboratory-only visits.  Subjects do not need to 
come in for study visits in the fasted state except for baseline, Day 1, Week 4, and Week 24, 
when they should arrive for the visit after an overnight fast of at least 8 hours or since midnight. 
The site must ensure that the subject is instructed NOT to take the dose of study drug on the day 
of the Week 4 study visit, as study drug will be administered in the clinic at that visit 
 
  Reminder cards will be used to send home with subjects to state 
upcoming visit scheduling, and to record the time subjects took their last dose prior to each visit.  
Use of the reminder cards by site staff is mandatory, and they will be retained in the subject’s 
records.  
The procedures are summarized as follows: 
Day 1 
• Record adverse events 
• Update concomitant medications

9.4. 
End of Treatment (± 5 days) 
If a decision is made that the subject will withdraw from study participation, the end-of-
treatment visit (EOT) should be conducted.  If the EOT Visit coincides with a regular study visit, 
the end-of-treatment evaluations will supersede those of that scheduled visit, the data should be 
entered in the end of treatment visit in the CRF.  The subject should be encouraged to return for 
the follow-up visit.  The following will be performed: 
• Review concomitant medications. 
• Review transfusion status. 
• Record adverse events. 
• Perform complete physical examination. 
• Measurement of spleen length below the costal margin by palpation.  
• Vital signs. 
• MRI (or CT scan in applicable subjects) should only be performed at the EOT visit if 
the subject discontinues treatment prior to Week 24. 
• Complete PGIC question (Appendix 5). 
• ECOG status assessment. 
• Perform study drug accountability assessment. 
• Blood sampling for the following laboratory tests (see Appendix 4): 
− Serum chemistry tests 
− Hematology

− Lipid panel 
 
 
• Contact IVRS to register subject discontinuation. 
9.5. 
Follow-Up Phase 
The follow-up phase is the interval between the EOT visit and the scheduled follow-up visit, 
which should occur 30 to 37 days following the EOT visit (or following the last dose of study 
drug if the EOT visit was not performed).  If no follow-up visit is performed the follow-up phase 
is considered to be 30 days past the last dose of study drug.  Reasonable efforts should be made 
to have the subject return for the follow-up visit, and report any AEs that may occur during this 
phase.  The following procedures will be performed: 
• Review concomitant medications. 
• Record adverse events. 
• Perform a targeted physical examination.

Unscheduled Visits 
Unscheduled visits for laboratory assessments may be conducted anytime at the Investigator’s 
discretion.

STUDY ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES 
10.1. 
Demographics and Medical History 
Demographic data and a complete medical and medication history will be collected at screening, 
after informed consent has been signed.  Height and body weight measurements will be 
performed; body mass index will be calculated automatically in the eCRF.  Complete transfusion 
history should be collected at the screening visit where possible, but must include at least 
12 weeks prior to screening.  All medical, medication and transfusion history will be recorded in 
the eCRF.   
10.2. 
Order of Assessments 
Multiple assessments are scheduled during the study visits.  In order to standardize the visits, a 
suggested order of assessments is implied by the ordering of events in the description of study 
visits.  Where feasible, vital signs and ECG measurements should be collected prior to blood 
draws. 
 
 
  Site staff should discuss the importance of 
the Subject Reminder Cards with the subject at the Day 1 visit so that the subject will be 
compliant with its return each visit.  If the subject does not bring the reminder card, or it is blank, 
the site staff will discuss the prior dose timing with the subject, and will record the information 
in the subjects chart (site may use a blank reminder card for the specified visit). 
10.3. 
Safety Assessments 
10.3.1. 
Adverse Events 
Adverse events will be monitored from the time the subject signs informed consent.  Subjects 
will be instructed to report all AEs during the study and subjects will be assessed for the 
occurrence of AEs throughout the study.  In order to avoid bias in eliciting AEs, subjects will be 
asked general, nonleading questions such as "How are you feeling?"  All AEs (serious and 
nonserious) must be recorded on the source documents and case report forms regardless of the 

Incyte Corporation

CONFIDENTIAL 
assumption of a causal relationship with the study drug.  The definition, reporting, and recording 
requirements for AEs are described in Section 11. 
10.3.2. 
Physical Examination 
A comprehensive physical examination will be performed at the times indicated on the Table of 
Assessments (Section 9).  The comprehensive physical examination will include the following 
organ or body system assessments: skin; head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat; thyroid; lungs; 
cardiovascular; abdomen (liver, spleen); extremities, lymph nodes, assessment for edema and/or 
ascites, measurement of weight and a brief neurological exam.  Height will be measured at the 
Screening visit only.  Physical exams must be performed by a medically qualified individual 
such as a licensed physician, Physician’s Assistant or advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners as 
local law permits.  Clinically significant findings will be recorded in the eCRF.   
10.3.2.1. Targeted Physical 
A targeted physical examination will be a symptom-directed evaluation.  The targeted physical 
examination will include assessment(s) of the body systems or organs, as indicated by subject 
symptoms, AE, or other findings as determined by the Investigator or designee.  The targeted 
physical examination should also include an assessment of the subject’s weight.  
10.3.3. 
Vital Signs 
Vital sign measurements (blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature) will be collected on the 
days and times noted in the Table of Assessments (Section 9).  Vital signs will be taken with the 
subject in the sitting position after 5 minutes of rest.  Vital signs will be recorded in the eCRF. 
10.3.4. 
Concomitant Medications 
Concomitant medications will be collected on the days and times noted in the Table of 
Assessments (Section 9) and recorded in the eCRF. 
10.3.5. 
Twelve-Lead Electrocardiograms 
All 12-lead ECGs will be performed with the subject in a recumbent position after 5 minutes of 
rest. 
The screening ECG will be interpreted by the Investigator or another appropriately trained 
individual at the site.  If ECG abnormalities that are clinically meaningful are present, they will 
be recorded on the eCRF.  Normal ECG findings or non-clinically meaningful abnormal ECG 
findings will not be recorded on the eCRF, other than data indicating the ECG was performed.  
Twelve-lead ECGs may be conducted during the study at the Investigator’s discretion.  ECGs 
that are identified as abnormal and clinically meaningful compared to the Screening assessment 
should be reported as AEs.  For such AEs, the findings of the abnormal ECGs and the 
corresponding baseline ECG findings must be reported in the eCRF, and copies of the abnormal 
tracings and corresponding baseline tracings will also be sent to the Sponsor and CRO for their 
records.  For Sponsor:

10.3.6. 
Laboratory Assessments 
A central laboratory or as instructed in the lab manual will perform the clinical laboratory tests 
except for hematology and coagulation panel which will be performed by the local laboratory.  
Samples for serum chemistry, lipid panel, serology, 
 and serum pregnancy test 
will be prepared using standard procedures.  All subjects will have samples of blood collected on 
the days and times noted in the Table of Laboratory Assessments (Table 4) for analysis of serum 
chemistry and hematology.  Appendix 4 provides a complete list of laboratory tests that will be 
performed.  Please refer to the laboratory manual for further details and specifications for sample 
handling, processing and shipping. 
10.3.6.1. Hematology 
Hematology assessments, including complete blood count (CBC) with manual differential will 
be performed by the local laboratory during study visits, and may be performed at this same 
laboratory, or at a local laboratory identified by the subject and investigator for laboratory-only 
visits as outlined in Table 4, and any other time additional hematology monitoring is deemed 
necessary.  The investigator is responsible for obtaining the data from such local laboratories, as 
well as the normal lab ranges used by that laboratory.  A standardized local laboratory range will 
be used in analysis of hematology lab data. 
10.3.6.2. Chemistry 
Chemistry labs will be analyzed by a central laboratory. 
10.3.6.3. Pregnancy and Fertility Testing 
Blood will be collected during screening for females of childbearing potential to conduct a 
pregnancy test.  Females of non-childbearing potential are defined as women who are: 
• At least 55 years of age with history of amenorrhea for 1 year   OR 
• Are surgically sterile for at least 3 months 
Subsequently, pregnancy tests will be conducted only as medically indicated.  A positive urine 
pregnancy test will be confirmed by a serum pregnancy test.  Pregnancy status will be 
documented at each visit on the eCRF. 
10.3.6.4. Serology 
Serology labs will be analyzed by a central laboratory. 
10.4. 
Efficacy Assessments 
• Imaging.  The primary measure of spleen size will be by MRI (or CT scan in 
applicable subjects).  MRI of the upper and lower abdomen and pelvis will be 
performed at baseline and Week 24.  MRI will be performed with a body coil because 
the objective is to measure organ volume, not to find very small lesions.  MRIs will 
be read initially by local radiologists who will assess the scan for quality, and send all 
scans (MRI or CT) to the central imaging laboratory the same day, if at all possible.  
The scans from an individual subject will be read by a central reader.  Spleen and 
liver volume will be obtained by outlining the circumference of the organ and 

Incyte Corporation

determining the volume using the validated technique of least squares.  The MRI will 
not determine spleen length below the costal margin, as there are no validated 
approaches for determining this measurement.  Procedure specific training for 
scanning and image capture will be provided by the Vendor.   
MRI is the preferred method for obtaining spleen volume data.  However, CT scans 
may be performed at the visits where MRI is designated if the subject is not a 
candidate for MRI (because of the presence of metal clips in the body, or because of 
claustrophobia, for example), or if MRI is not readily available.  CT scans will be 
similarly processed by the same central laboratory as used for MRIs.  Procedure 
specific training for scanning and image capture will be provided by the Vendor. 
NOTE:  The same method (MRI versus CT) must be used for both visits for a given 
subject unless a new contraindication to the use of MRI (eg, pacemaker insertion) 
occurs.   
• Spleen length.  Spleen length will be assessed by manual palpation as outlined in 
Table 3.  Investigators will be provided with a soft centimeter ruler so that palpable 
spleen length is measured in centimeters and not in finger breadths.  The edge of the 
spleen shall be determined by palpation, and measured in centimeters, using a soft 
ruler, from the costal margin to the point of greatest splenic protrusion.  Spleen length 
must be recorded on the eCRF. 
10.5. 
Symptom and Quality of Life Assessments 
• Symptom Diary.  Symptoms of MF will be assessed using a symptom diary 
(modified MFSAF v2.0 diary).  Subjects will be issued a hand-held device on which 
to record answers to queries regarding MF symptoms.  Symptoms assessed will 
include filling up quickly/early satiety, abdominal discomfort, abdominal pain, 
inactivity, night sweats, itching, and bone/muscle pain.  The modified MFSAF v2.0 
diary will be completed by subjects each night beginning at Day -7 (first day of 
Baseline), and continuing to the Week 24 visit (25 weeks total).  Subjects will bring 
the device to the study site at Study visits on Day 1, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12 and 
Week 16, so that the device charging can be verified, and to download accumulated 
data.  NOTE:  subjects who will have overnight stays associated with their Study 
Visit must also bring their docking station so that their device can be fully charged at 
all times, and so they can complete the evening diary entries.  The device will then be 
returned to the subject at these same visits for continued use each night.  The subject 
will return the device and the docking station for the final time at the Week 24 visit so 
that the data can be archived.  Detailed directions for the administration of the 
modified MFSAF v2.0 diary will be provided in a Reference Manual.  Spanish 
translations of the modified MFSAF v2.0 diary will be available.   
• Patient Global Impression of Change will be administered at each visit beginning 
with Week 4, and consists of a single question to which the subject responds with 
answer on a scale of 1 to 7.  See Appendix 5.

10.9. 
Other Study Procedures 
10.9.1. 
Administration of Informed Consent Form 
Valid informed consent must be obtained from the study subject prior to conducting any study-
specific procedures.  The granting of informed consent for participation in the study must be 
documented in writing, using an ICF that contains all the elements required by ICH E6 and 
describes the nature, scope, and possible consequences of the study in a form understandable to 
the study subject.  Local and institutional guidelines for ICF content and administration must be 
followed, and a copy of the signed ICF must be provided to the study subject.   
Subjects of childbearing potential must agree to take appropriate measures to avoid pregnancy or 
fathering a child in order to participate in the study (Appendix 3). 
10.9.2. 
IVRS/IWRS Procedures 
An IVRS system will be used to assign subject numbers and to dispense study drug.  Procedures 
to be followed will be provided in an IVRS manual. 
10.9.3. 
Study Drug Administration 
Subjects will take their dose of ruxolitinib morning and evening, approximately 12 hours apart, 
and without regards to food. 
10.9.4. 
Study Drug Dispensation 
Site staff will contact an IVRS to obtain the subject study drug assignment.  The investigator or 
designee will select the assigned bottles from their stock that correspond to the number provided 
by IVRS and dispense the medication.  The investigator will enter the bottle numbers in the 
eCRF.  At subsequent medication dispensing visits, the investigator or designee will follow the 
same procedures as described above.  Full details will be provided in the IVRS manual. 
10.9.5. 
Assessment of Study Drug Compliance  
Compliance will be calculated by the Sponsor based on the drug accountability documented by 
the site staff and monitored by the Sponsor/designee (tablet counts).  The objective is 100% 
compliance and investigators and their staff should evaluate compliance at each visit, and take 
appropriate steps to optimize compliance.  For the purpose of subgroup analyses, subjects with at 
least 80% compliance over the total duration of dosing from the first day of dosing to the 
analysis of the study will be considered to be compliant. 
10.9.6. 
Distribution of Subject Reminder Cards and Diaries 
Subjects will be provided with subject reminder cards at each visit.  The subject reminder cards 
will indicate the date/time of the next visit, and will also remind the subject when they should not 
take their morning dose of study drug, and when they should arrive for the visit after an 
overnight fast of at least 8 hours or since midnight.  The reminder cards will have an area on 
which the date and time of the last dose taken prior to each study visit will be recorded by the 
subject, and to record time of last meal (certain visits only).

SAFETY MONITORING AND REPORTING 
11.1. 
Adverse Events 
11.1.1. 
Definitions and Reporting 
An Adverse Event (AE) for the purposes of this protocol is defined as the appearance of (or 
worsening of any pre-existing) undesirable sign(s), symptom(s), or medical condition(s) that 
occur after a subject’s signed informed consent has been obtained.  Abnormal laboratory values 
or test results occurring after informed consent constitute AEs only if they induce clinical signs 
or symptoms, are considered clinically meaningful, require therapy (eg, hematologic abnormality 
that requires transfusion), or require changes in study drug(s). 
Adverse Events that begin or worsen after informed consent should be recorded in the Adverse 
Events section of the CRF. Conditions that were already present at the time of informed consent 
should be recorded in the medical history section of the CRF.  Adverse Event monitoring should 
be continued through the follow-up visit or for at least 30 days following the last dose of study 
treatment, whichever comes later.  Adverse Events (including lab abnormalities that constitute 
AEs) should be described using a diagnosis whenever possible, rather than individual underlying 
signs and symptoms.  When a clear diagnosis cannot be identified, each sign or symptom should 
be reported as a separate AE. 
Adverse Events will be assessed according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse 
Events (CTCAE) v4.03.  If CTCAE grading is not used for a study, the severity of mild, 
moderate, severe, and life-threatening, or Grades 1 - 4, will be used. CTCAE Grade 5 (death) 
will not be used in this study; rather, information about deaths will be collected as an outcome of 
the event.  The occurrence of AEs should be sought by non-directive questioning of the subject 
during the screening process after signing informed consent and at each visit during the study.  
Adverse Events may also be detected when they are volunteered by the subject during the 
screening process or between visits, or through physical examination, laboratory test, or other 
assessments.  As far as possible, each AE should be evaluated to determine:  
• The severity grade (CTCAE Grade 1-4) 
• Reasonable possibility that AE is related to the study treatment: (no, yes) 
• Reasonable possibility that AE is related to a study procedure: (no, yes) 
• Start and end dates, unless unresolved at final exam 
• Action taken with respect to study medication (none, dose adjusted, temporarily 
interrupted, permanently discontinued, unknown, not applicable) 
• Outcome (not recovered/not resolved, recovered/resolved, recovering/resolving, 
recovered/resolved with sequelae, fatal, unknown) 
• Whether it is serious, as per Serious Adverse Event (SAE) definition provided in 
Section 11.3.1. 
Unlike routine safety assessments, SAEs are monitored continuously and have special reporting 
requirements, see Section 11.3.2. 

Incyte Corporation 
 
Page 64 of 92 
Protocol INCB 18424-258 Amendment 2  
 
09 AUG 2013 
CONFIDENTIAL 
All AEs should be treated appropriately.  If a concomitant medication or non-drug therapy is 
given, this action should be recorded on the AE CRF as well as the Prior/Concomitant 
medications CRF. 
Once an AE is detected, it should be followed until its resolution or until it is judged to be 
permanent; assessment should be made at each visit (or more frequently if necessary) of any 
changes in severity, the suspected relationship to the study medication, the interventions required 
to treat it, and the outcome. 
Disease progression should not be regarded or reported as an AE itself, unless it is associated 
with a separate AE. 
11.2. 
Laboratory Test Abnormalities 
11.2.1. 
Definitions and Reporting 
Laboratory abnormalities that constitute an AE in their own right (are considered clinically 
meaningful, induce clinical signs or symptoms, require concomitant therapy or require changes 
in study treatment), should be recorded on the AE CRF.  Whenever possible, a diagnosis, rather 
than a symptom should be provided (eg, anemia instead of low hemoglobin).  Laboratory 
abnormalities that meet the criteria for AEs should be followed until they have returned to 
normal or an adequate explanation of the abnormality is found.  When an abnormal laboratory or 
test result corresponds to a sign or symptom of a previously reported AE, it is not necessary to 
separately record the lab/test result as an additional event. 
Laboratory abnormalities that do not meet the definition of an AE should not be reported as AEs.  
A Grade 3 or 4 (severe) event, as per CTCAE, does not automatically indicate a SAE unless it 
meets the definition of serious, as defined below, and/or as per investigator’s discretion.  A dose 
hold or medication for the lab abnormality may be required by the protocol in Section 8.6 and 
should not contribute to the designation of a laboratory test abnormality as a SAE. 
11.3. 
Serious Adverse Events 
11.3.1. 
Definitions 
Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is defined as one of the following:  
• Is fatal or life-threatening (ie, immediate risk of dying) 
• Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity 
• Constitutes a congenital anomaly or birth defect 
• Is clinically meaningful, (ie, defined as an event that jeopardizes the subject or 
requires potential medical or surgical intervention to prevent 1 of the outcomes listed 
above).  Considered meaningful by the Investigator as an important medical event 
that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or require hospitalization, but may be 
considered a SAE when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, it may jeopardize 
the subject or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent 1 of the 
outcomes listed in this definition. 

Incyte Corporation

CONFIDENTIAL 
• Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, unless 
hospitalization is due to:  
− Routine treatment or monitoring of the studied indication, not associated with any 
deterioration in condition.  
− Elective or pre-planned treatment for a pre-existing condition that is unrelated to 
the indication under study and has not worsened since signing the informed 
consent. 
− Treatment on an emergency outpatient basis for an event not fulfilling any of the 
definitions of a SAE given above and not resulting in hospital admission. 
− Social reasons and respite care, in the absence of any deterioration in the subject’s 
general condition. 
− Any SAEs that are expected due to the condition being treated, including if the 
SAE is a primary outcome measure, and whether there has been a clear agreement 
with regulators not to consider these as SAEs, provided the information is 
collected elsewhere. 
11.3.2. 
Reporting 
To ensure subject safety, every SAE, regardless of suspected causality, occurring after the 
subject has signed the informed consent form (ICF) and until (at least) the Follow-up Visit or 
30 days after the subject has stopped study treatment (whichever comes later) must be reported 
to the Sponsor or designee within 24 hours of learning of its occurrence.  Any SAEs experienced 
after this period of at least 30 days should only be reported to the Sponsor, or designee, if the 
Investigator suspects a causal relationship to the study mediation.  Recurrent episodes, 
complications, or progression of the initial SAE must be reported as the follow-up to the original 
episode within 24 hours of the Investigator receiving the follow-up information.  An SAE 
occurring at a different time interval or otherwise considered completely unrelated to a 
previously reported one should be reported separately as a new event.  Serious AE collection 
begins after the subject has signed the ICF.  If a subject experiences an SAE after signing the 
ICF, but prior to receiving study medication, the event will not be collected unless the 
Investigator feels the event may have been caused by a protocol procedure.  Previously planned 
(prior to signing the ICF) surgeries should not be reported as SAEs unless the underlying 
medical condition worsens over the course of the study. 
Information about all SAEs is collected and recorded on the Serious Adverse Event Report 
Form.  The Investigator must assess and record the relationship of each SAE to each specific 
study medication (if there is more than 1), complete the SAE Report Form in English, and send 
the completed, signed form by fax within 24 hours to the Sponsor (or designee).  The 
investigator must assess if there is a Reasonable possibility that the SAE is related to the study 
treatment: no (unrelated), yes (related). 
SAEs related to unblinded comparator drugs or concomitant medications/drug delivery systems 
are reported directly to the manufacturers of those drugs/devices in accordance with the package 
insert.

CONFIDENTIAL 
The telephone and facsimile number of the Sponsor’s contact persons, specific to the study, are 
listed in the investigator folder provided to each site.  The original copy of the SAE Report Form 
and the fax confirmation sheet must be kept with the case report form documentation at the study 
site. 
Follow-up information is sent to the same person to whom the original SAE Report Form was 
sent, using a new SAE Report Form stating that this is a follow-up to the previously reported 
SAE and giving the date of the original report.  Each re-occurrence, complication, or progression 
of the original event should be reported as a follow-up to that event regardless of when it occurs.  
The follow-up information should describe whether the event has resolved or continues, if and 
how it was treated, and whether the subject continued or withdrew from study participation or if 
study medication was interrupted or discontinued. 
If the SAE is not previously documented in the Investigator’s Brochure for the study medication 
(new occurrence) and is thought to be related to the Sponsor’s study drug, a Sponsor’s associate 
may urgently require further information from the Investigator for reporting to Health 
Authorities.   
The Sponsor may need to issue an Investigator Notification (IN) to inform all Investigators 
involved in any study with the same drug that this SAE has been reported.  Suspected 
Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions (SUSARs) will be collected and reported to the 
competent authorities and relevant ethics committees in accordance with Directive 2001/20/EC 
or as per national regulatory requirements in participating countries.  If the study is open-label, 
no special unblinding procedures are needed for exceptional circumstances or medical 
emergencies. 
11.4. 
Emergency Unblinding of Treatment Assignment 
Not applicable, study is open label. 
11.5. 
Pregnancy 
Pregnancy, in and of itself, is not regarded as an AE, unless there is suspicion that study 
medication may have interfered with the effectiveness of a contraceptive medication or method.  
The procedures that will be followed based on whether a pregnancy is confirmed by a positive 
serum or urine test result are listed below: 
• Investigator and subject must notify each other immediately 
• Investigator must notify the Sponsor immediately  
• Study medication must be discontinued immediately 
• Subject must be withdrawn from the study 
• Perform the required End-of-treatment Visit evaluations 
• Investigator must complete and submit the Pregnancy Initial and Follow-up report 
forms to the Sponsor 

Incyte Corporation

• A serum pregnancy test must be performed to confirm the urine test result.  (The 
serum test should be performed at the investigative site to ensure the test will be 
performed promptly and the result available immediately for review.) 
If a negative serum test does not confirm the urine test result, then: 
• The Investigator will use his/her expert judgment, based on an assessment of the 
potential benefit/risk to the subject, to determine if it is in the subject’s best interest to 
resume study drug and continue participation in the study. 
To ensure subject safety, each pregnancy in a subject during maternal or paternal 
exposures to study medication must be reported within 24 hours of learning of its 
occurrence.  Data on fetal outcome and breast-feeding are collected for regulatory reporting and 
drug safety evaluation.  The pregnancy should be followed-up to determine outcome, including 
spontaneous or voluntary termination, details of the birth, and the presence or absence of any 
birth defects, congenital abnormalities, or maternal and/or newborn complications by following 
until the first well-baby visit.  Pregnancy should be recorded on a Clinical Study Pregnancy 
Form and reported by the Investigator to the Sponsor.  Pregnancy follow-up should be recorded 
on the same form and should include an assessment of the possible relationship to the Sponsor’s 
study medication of any pregnancy outcome and follow-up to the first well-baby visit.  Any SAE 
experienced during pregnancy must be reported on the SAE Report Form and needs to be 
reported to Incyte Corporation. 
11.6. 
Warnings and Precautions 
No evidence available at the time of the approval of this study protocol indicated that special 
warnings or precautions were appropriate, other than those noted in the provided Investigator 
Brochure.  Additional safety information collected between IB updates will be communicated in 
the form of Investigator Notifications (INs).  This information will be included in the subject 
informed consent and should be discussed with the subject during the study as needed. 
11.7. 
Data Safety Monitoring 
11.7.1. 
Data Monitoring Committee 
An independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) will be formed.  It will consist of qualified 
individuals who are not involved with the conduct of the study.  The establishment, composition, 
roles, duties and responsibilities of the DMC will be addressed in an approved DMC charter.  
The timing of data review by the DMC will be specified in the charter, but at a minimum, will 
include review of safety data with an emphasis on events of thrombocytopenia and hemorrhage 
at least 28 days after 20 subjects have been enrolled into the study and 28 days after 40 subjects 
have been enrolled into the study. 
11.7.2. 
Reporting of Grade 4 Thrombocytopenia Events and > Grade 2 Hemorrhage 
Events During the Study 
The study is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of ruxolitinib in a myelofibrosis patient 
population with platelet counts of 50 to100 x 109/L.  As these patients are potentially at higher 
risk for greater degrees of thrombocytopenia and bleeding, events of Grade 4 thrombocytopenia

Protocol INCB 18424-258 Amendment 2  
 
09 AUG 2013 
CONFIDENTIAL 
and > Grade 2 hemorrhage will be monitored on an ongoing basis.  Investigators will be required 
to notify the sponsor via FAX of any Grade 4 thrombocytopenia event and any Grade 3 or 
Grade 4 event of hemorrhage, regardless of suspected causality.  The notification must occur 
within 24 hours of the time the site first becomes aware of the event.  All such events occurring 
after a subject has signed informed consent and received at least one dose of study drug up to the 
follow-up visit (or at least 30 days after the last dose of study drug is taken) must be reported.  
The notification form (supplied by sponsor) will require the site to provide information regarding 
dosing history, platelet count, event description and any other information pertinent to the event.   
11.7.3. 
Safety Reviews 
As ruxolitinib has been studied extensively in the myelofibrosis population in Phase II and III 
trials, its safety profile is generally well characterized in patients with platelet counts above 
100 x 109/L.  Because this trial is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of ruxolitinib in a 
myelofibrosis patient population with platelet counts of 50 to100 x 109/L, there will be a review 
of safety with an emphasis on events of thrombocytopenia and hemorrhage at regularly 
scheduled intervals corresponding to when: 
1. 20 patients have been enrolled  
2. 40 patients have been enrolled  
Additional safety reviews as deemed necessary by the DMC or the sponsor may be conducted at 
any time 
11.7.3.1. Review After Enrollment of 20th Subject 
When the 20th patient is enrolled, additional screening of subjects will be paused for at least 
28 days and up to approximately 42 days.  Subjects in screening at that time will be allowed to 
enroll if they are found to be eligible.  During this period, enrolled subjects will be allowed to 
continue on study per protocol.  At least twenty eight days from the enrollment of the 20th 
subject, safety data will be assessed by the DMC and the sponsor.  Subjects will be analyzed if 
they have completed at least 28 days on the study or have discontinued the study due to Grade 4 
thrombocytopenia or > Grade 2 hemorrhage.  If fewer than 33% of the subjects had an event of 
Grade 4 thrombocytopenia and fewer than 10% of these subjects had an event of > Grade 2 
hemorrhage, the study may resume enrollment without amendment.  If these criteria are not met, 
or other safety concerns are reveled, a recommendation will be made for one of the following 
actions: 
1. Stop the trial 
2. Recommend amendments and suspend enrollment until the amendments can be 
implemented 
3. Continue enrollment with a new dosing cap (with subsequent amendment of the protocol) 
4. Continue the trial without amendment (must be agreed upon by both the Sponsor and the 
DSMC)

CONFIDENTIAL 
11.7.3.2. Review After Enrollment of 40th Subject 
At least 28 days from the enrollment of the 40th subject, safety data will be assessed by the DMC 
and the sponsor.  Since the first dose escalation opportunity in the study is at Day 28 and the 
starting dose for all subjects of 5 mg bid will have been adequately assessed for safety at the first 
safety review after the enrollment of 20 patients, screening will not be suspended following 
enrollment of the 40th subject.  If safety of the 5 mg bid dose is not clear from this first data 
review, the DMC and sponsor may mandate a hold on screening at the review that occurs with 
enrollment of the 40th subject.  Subjects will be analyzed if they have completed at least 28 days 
on the study or discontinued due to grade 4 thrombocytopenia or > Grade 2 hemorrhage.  If 33% 
or fewer of the subjects had an event of Grade 4 thrombocytopenia and 10% or fewer of these 
subjects had an event of > Grade 2 hemorrhage, the study may resume enrollment without 
amendment.  If these criteria are not met, or other safety concerns are reveled, a recommendation 
will be made for one of the following actions: 
1. Stop the trial 
2. Recommend amendments and suspend enrollment until the amendments can be 
implemented 
3. Continue enrollment with a new dosing cap (with subsequent amendment of the protocol) 
4. Continue the trial without amendment (must be agreed upon by both the Sponsor and the 
DSMC) 
The DMC and the sponsor will also specifically evaluate the event rates for Grade 4 
thrombocytopenia and > Grade 2 hemorrhage in subjects from the initial cohort of 20 subjects 
who have had longer follow-up and opportunities for dose escalation. 
11.7.4. 
Continuous Safety Monitoring 
Events of Grade 4 thrombocytopenia and > Grade 2 hemorrhage will be monitored continuously.  
Subjects will be analyzed if they have completed at least 28 days on the study or discontinued 
due to Grade 4 thrombocytopenia or > Grade 2 hemorrhage.  If at any time > 33% of these 
subjects have an event of Grade 4 thrombocytopenia, or > than 10% of the subjects have an event 
of  > Grade 2 hemorrhage, the sponsor will temporarily hold further screening and seek 
consultation with the DMC.  A recommendation will be made for one of the following actions: 
1. Stop the trial 
2. Recommend amendments and suspend enrollment until the amendments can be 
implemented 
3. Continue enrollment with a new dosing cap (with subsequent amendment of the protocol) 
4. Continue the trial without amendment (must be agreed upon by both the Sponsor and the 
DMC).

STATISTICS 
12.1. 
Study Population 
Intent-to-treat (ITT):  includes all subjects enrolled in the study. 
Per-protocol (PP):  includes subjects who are considered to be sufficiently compliant with the 
protocol. 
Safety Evaluable: includes subjects who received at least 1 dose of study drug.

Statistical Analyses 
12.2.1. 
Primary Analyses 
Co-Primary Endpoints: 
• Correlation of % change in spleen volume at Week 24 compared to baseline versus 
final titrated dose. 
• Correlation of % change in Total Symptom Score as measured by the modified 
MFSAF v2.0 diary at Week 24 compared to baseline versus final titrated dose. 
The null hypothesis is that the correlation between percent change in spleen volume or total 
symptom score and final titrated dose is zero.  The test will be based on the t test for a product-
moment correlation coefficient: 
t = rxy √(n – 2) / √(1 – rxy
2) 
(Cohen 1988, Formula 3.1.1)

A two-sided alpha of 5% will be used.  With a sample size of 150, the critical correlation that is 
needed to reject H0 is 0.16. if the absolute value of the observed correlation is 0.16 or higher, H0 
will be rejected.  In order to keep the overall alpha at 5%, a sequential testing procedure will be 
used: First we will test the correlation with % change in spleen volume, and only if the null 
hypothesis of no correlation can be rejected will we continue to test the correlation with % 
change in Total Symptom Score. 
Safety Endpoints: 
Safety and tolerability will be assessed by monitoring the frequency, duration and severity of 
adverse events, performing physical examinations, collecting vital signs, collecting laboratory 
data for hematology, serum chemistry, coagulation parameters, and lipid panel through 
Week 156. 
Change in platelet count from baseline to each visit where the variables are measured will be 
tabulated with summary statistics.  
Proportion of subjects with new onset of Grade 4 thrombocytopenia events, and proportion of 
subjects with new onset of Grade 2 or higher hemorrhage, as measured by CTCAE will be 
tabulated with summary statistics.  The hazard functions of time to onset of the above two safety 
measures will be estimated using life table method. 
Adverse events will be tabulated by the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 
(MedDRA®) preferred term and by system organ class.  Severity of AEs will be based on the 
CTCAE scale as indicated in Section 11.1.1. 
The subset of AEs that are considered by the Investigator to be related to study drug will be 
considered to be treatment-related AEs.  If the Investigator does not specify the relationship of 
the AE to study drug, the AE will be considered to be treatment-related.  The incidence of AEs 
and treatment-related AEs will be tabulated.  
Clinical Laboratory Tests 
The clinical laboratory data will be analyzed using summary statistics (eg, means and 
frequencies), and no formal statistical comparisons among the treatments are planned. 
Vital Signs 
Descriptive statistics and mean change from baseline will be determined for vital signs (body 
temperature, respiratory rate, blood pressure and heart rate) at each assessment time.  Vital sign 
results will be reviewed for clinically notable abnormalities according to the criteria shown 
below; subjects exhibiting clinically notable vital sign abnormalities will be listed.

Secondary Analyses 
Secondary Endpoints 
• Percent change in spleen volume at Week 24 compared to Baseline 
• Percent change in Total Symptom Score as measured by the modified MFSAF v2.0 
diary at Week 24 compared to baseline 
• Proportion of subjects with ≥ 35% reduction in spleen volume at Week 24 compared 
to baseline 
• Proportion of subjects with ≥ 10% reduction in spleen volume at Week 24 compare to 
baseline 
• Proportion of subjects with ≥ 50% improvement in total symptom score as measured 
by the modified MFSAF v2.0 diary at Week 24 compared to baseline 
Long-term efficacy of ruxolitinib will be assessed by monitoring change and percent change in 
spleen length, as measured by palpation, and change in PGIC score from baseline to each visit 
where the variables are measured through Week 156.  The percent change in spleen volume at 
Week 24 compared to baseline, the percent change in Total Symptom Score as measured by the 
modified MFSAF v2.0 diary at Week 24 compared to baseline, the proportion of subjects with 
≥ 35% reduction in spleen volume at Week 24 compared to baseline, proportion of subjects with 
≥ 10% reduction in spleen volume at Week 24 compared to baseline, and the proportion of 
subjects with ≥ 50% improvement in total symptom score as measured by the modified MFSAF 
v2.0 diary at Week 24 compared to baseline will be tabulated with summary statistics.  Change 
and percentage change in spleen length from baseline as measured by palpation at each visit 
where the parameter is assessed through Week 156 will be tabulated with summary statistics.  
The data will be summarized as one group and by the final titrated dose.  The final titrated dose 
will be based on dosing data up to Week 24.

Interim Analysis 
Interim data review focused on thrombocytopenia and hemorrhage events will occur as described 
in Section 11.7 Data Safety Monitoring. 
12.4. 
Selection of Sample Size 
Approximately 150 subjects will be enrolled.  Using an alpha of 5% (two-sided), this sample size 
gives a power of 96% to reject the null hypothesis of no dose-effect correlation if the true 
correlation is 0.30.  The power is 87% if the true correlation is 0.25, and the power is 69% if the 
true correlation is 0.20.  These calculations are based on (Cohen 1988, Formula 12.3.4). 
In addition, the mean percent change of spleen volume measured by MRI, and mean percent 
change in Total Symptom Score from baseline to Week 24 will each be estimated with a 95% 
confidence interval.  With 150 subjects, the half-length of the 95% confidence interval of the 
spleen volume change from baseline to Week 24 is about 3%.  This is based on the Phase III 
study (INCB 18424-351), where the standard deviation of the percent change of spleen volume 
from baseline to Week 24 was 19%.  
12.5. 
Level of Significance 
All confidence intervals will be 95% and tests will be performed at two sided 0.05% level.  Since 
this is an exploratory study, no multiplicity adjustment will be performed.

13.2. 
Study Drug Accountability, Handling, and Disposal 
Responsibility for drug accountability at the study site rests with the Investigator; however, the 
Investigator may assign some of the drug accountability duties to an appropriate pharmacist or 
designee.  Inventory and accountability records must be maintained and readily available for 
inspection by the study monitor and are open to inspection at any time by any applicable 
regulatory authorities. 
The Investigator or designee will be expected to collect and retain all used, unused, and partially 
used containers of study medication until the end of the study.  The Investigator or designee must 
maintain records that document: 
• investigational product delivery to the study site 
• the inventory at the site 
• use by each subject including pill/unit counts from each supply dispensed 
• return to the Investigator or designee.   
These records should include dates, quantities, batch/serial numbers (if available), and the unique 
code numbers (if available) assigned to the investigational product and study subjects.   
The investigational product must be used only in accordance with the protocol.  The Investigator 
will also maintain records adequately documenting that the subjects were provided the correct 
study medication specified. 
Completed accountability records will be archived by the site.  At the completion of the study, 
the Investigator or designee will oversee shipment of any remaining study drug back to the 
Sponsor or Sponsor’s designee for destruction according to institutional standard operating 
procedures.  If local procedures mandate site destruction of investigational supply, prior written 
approval must be obtained from Incyte.

STUDY ADMINISTRATION 
14.1. 
Data Management 
14.1.1. 
Data Collection 
The Investigator will be provided with an eCRF for each subject.  Entries made in the eCRF 
must be verifiable against source documents, or, in certain circumstances, as directed by the 
Sponsor, have been directly entered into the eCRF, in which case the entry in the eCRF will be 
considered as the source data.  Data reported in the eCRF that are derived from source 
documents should be consistent with the source documents or the discrepancies should be 
explained.  The Investigator will be responsible for reviewing all data and eCRF entries and will 
sign and date the designated pages in each subject’s eCRF, verifying that the information is true 
and correct.  Queries generated by Data Management will be sent to the study site for resolution.  
The Investigator is responsible for the review and approval of all responses. 
14.1.2. 
Data Management 
Data management will be performed from electronic case report forms (eCRFs).  All eCRF data 
will be entered into a validated database.  Laboratory data will be imported to the database 
electronically.  All data entry, verification and validation will be performed in accordance with 
the current standard operating procedures of the Data Management Department at Incyte or its 
designee.  The database will be authorized for lock once no data queries are outstanding, all 
study data are considered clean, and all defined procedures completed. 
14.2. 
Study Monitoring 
Qualified representatives of the Sponsor or Sponsor designees, “study monitors,” will monitor 
the study according to a predetermined monitoring plan.  Monitoring visits provide the Sponsor 
with the opportunity to: 
• Evaluate the progress of the study. 
• Verify the accuracy and completeness of CRFs. 
• Assure that all protocol requirements, applicable laws and/or regulations, and 
Investigator’s obligations are being fulfilled. 
• Resolve any inconsistencies in the study records.   
The Investigator must allow the study monitors to periodically review, at mutually convenient 
times, during the study and after the study has been completed, all CRFs and office, hospital, and 
laboratory records supporting the participation of each subject in the study.  The CRFs and other 
documentation supporting the study must be kept up-to-date by the Investigator and the research 
staff at the investigative site.  These study materials must be available for review by the study 
monitor, and/or other qualified representatives of the Sponsor, at each monitoring visit. 
The study monitor will review the various records of the study (CRFs, subject medical and 
laboratory records, and other pertinent data).  The study monitor will verify the CRF data against 
original source documentation for accuracy and completeness.  The study monitor will identify

data discrepancies and collaborate with the Investigator and research staff to resolve the 
discrepancies in a timely manner.  Protocol deviations will also be identified and recorded on a 
“Protocol Deviation Log.”  The study monitor will follow an “Issue Escalation” plan in order to 
ensure that each issue identified during a monitoring visit is appropriately documented, reported, 
and resolved in a timely manner in accordance with the plan’s requirements. 
14.3. 
Protocol Adherence 
The Principal Investigator must obtain IRB approval for the investigation.  Initial IRB approval, 
and all materials approved by the IRB for this study including the subject informed consent form 
and recruitment materials must be maintained by the Investigator and made available for 
inspection. 
Each Investigator must adhere to the protocol as described in this document and agree that 
changes to the protocol, with the exception of medical emergencies, must be discussed and 
approved, firstly, by the Sponsor and, secondly, by the IRB/EC.  Each Investigator is responsible 
for enrolling subjects who have met the protocol inclusion and exclusion criteria.  The IRB/EC 
that granted original approval, or the IRB/EC currently responsible for overseeing the conduct of 
the study must be notified of all changes in and deviations from the protocol that may increase 
risk to the subject, and/or that may adversely affect the rights of the subject or validity of the 
investigation.  The Investigator must send a copy of the approval letter from the IRB/EC to the 
Sponsor or CRO and retain the original in the site study regulatory file. 
Major eligibility deviations must be reported to the IRB/EC in accordance with the IRB/EC 
requirements.  During the course of the study, the monitor must notify the Sponsor of subjects 
found not to have met eligibility criteria.  The medical monitor, in collaboration with the 
Investigator, will determine if the subject should be withdrawn from the study. 
14.4. 
Financial Disclosure 
All clinical investigators participating in clinical studies subject to FDA Regulation Title 21 
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 54 – Financial Disclosure by Clinical Investigators, are 
required prior to study initiation to submit a completed Clinical Investigator Financial Disclosure 
Request Form that sufficiently details any financial interests and arrangements that apply.  For 
the purpose of this regulation, clinical investigator is defined as any investigator or 
subinvestigator who is directly involved in the treatment or evaluation of research subjects, 
including the spouse and each dependent child of the clinical investigator.  These requirements 
apply to both US and foreign clinical investigators conducting covered clinical studies. 
Any new investigators or sub-investigators added to the covered clinical study during its conduct 
must also submit a completed Clinical Investigator Financial Disclosure Request Form.  During a 
covered clinical study, any changes to the financial information previously reported by a clinical 
investigator must be reported to the Sponsor/designee.  At the conclusion of the covered clinical 
study, the clinical investigators will be reminded of their obligation to report to the 
Sponsor/designee any changes to the financial information previously reported.  The clinical 
investigators will also be reminded that they must report any changes in their financial 
information for a period of 1 year after completion of the covered clinical study.

The Sponsor will be allowed to conduct site visits to the investigation facilities for the purpose of 
monitoring any aspect of the study.  The Investigator agrees to allow the monitor to inspect the 
drug storage area, study drug stocks, drug accountability records, subject charts and study source 
documents, and other records relative to study conduct. 
The Investigator must ensure that all records pertaining to the conduct of the clinical study (as 
listed above) are adequately maintained for a period of 2 years after the last approval of a 
marketing application in an ICH region and until there are no pending or contemplated marketing 
applications in an ICH region, or at least 2 years have elapsed since the formal termination of 
clinical development of the investigational product. 
17.2. 
Retention of Records 
The Principal Investigator must maintain all documentation relating to the study for a period of 
2 years after the last marketing application approval, or if not approved, 2 years following the 
termination of the test article for investigation.  If it becomes necessary for the Sponsor or the 
Regulatory Authority to review any documentation relating to the study, the Investigator must 
permit access to such records. 
The Investigator must not destroy any records associated with the study without receiving 
approval from Incyte.  The Investigator must notify the Sponsor in the event of accidental loss or 
destruction of any study records.  If the Investigator leaves the institution where the study was 
conducted, Incyte must be contacted to arrange alternative record storage options. 
Whenever possible, an original recording of an observation must be retained as the source 
document.  However, a photocopy of a record is acceptable, provided it is legible and is a 
verified copy of the original document. 
All CRF data entered by the site (including audit trail), as well as computer hardware and 
software (for accessing the data), will be maintained or made available at the site in compliance

audit trail.   
17.3. 
Confidentiality 
Subject names will not be supplied to the Sponsor.  Only the subject number and subject initials 
will be recorded in the CRF, and if the subject name appears on any other document (eg, 
laboratory report), it must be obliterated on the copy of the document to be supplied to the 
Sponsor.  Study findings stored on a computer will be stored in accordance with local data 
protection laws.  The subjects will be informed that representatives of the Sponsor, IRB/IEC, or 
regulatory authorities may inspect their medical records to verify the information collected, and 
that all personal information made available for inspection will be handled in strictest confidence 
and in accordance with local data protection laws.

APPENDIX 6. BONE MARROW BIOPSY EVALUATION 
• Grading of bone marrow biopsy fibrosis density 
Fibrosis Grade 
Description 
0 
Scattered linear reticulin with no intersections corresponding to normal 
bone marrow 
1 
Loose network of reticulin with many intersections, especially in 
perivascular areas 
2 
Diffuse and dense increase in reticulin with extensive intersections, 
occasionally with only focal bundles of collagen and/or focal 
osteosclerosis 
3 
Diffuse and dense increase in reticulin with extensive intersections with 
coarse bundles of collagen, often associated with significant osteosclerosis 
Note:  Fibrosis density should be assessed in hematopoietic areas. 
Source:  Tefferi et al 2006. 
 
Bone Marrow Biopsy Pathology Reporting Guidelines 
The following should be assessed: 
• Assessment of cellularity. 
• 500-cell differential of aspirate, (if collected) correlated, if possible, with data from 
appropriate marrow biopsy section. Percentage of pronormoblasts, blasts, 
normoblasts, myelocytes, metamyelocytes 
• Blast percentage, indicating what cellular types are being considered as blast 
equivalents, and the degree of maturation and dysplastic abnormalities within the 
neoplastic population should be described. 
• Characterization of erythrocyte and megakaryocyte morphology. 
• Characterization and gradation of fibrosis within hematopoietic cellular areas. 
• Diagnostic interpretation with specific mention of (expected) absence of an 
infiltrative or granulomatous process 
• Pathologist’s diagnosis (PMF, PPV-MF, etc.)
