Single-Arm Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Oral Rigosertib in Patients With Myelofibrosis (MF) and Anemia

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if rigosertib can help to control MF in patients with anemia. The safety of this drug will also be studied. This is an investigational study. Rigosertib is not FDA-approved or commercially available. It is currently being used for research purposes only. The study doctor can explain how the study drug is designed to work. Up to 35 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Study Drug Administration: If participant is found to be eligible to take part in this study, participant will take rigosertib capsules by mouth 2 times each day (1 morning dose, 1 afternoon dose) for 48 weeks. Participant will take participant's morning dose on an empty stomach. Participant's afternoon dose should be taken at about 3:00 pm (±1 hour), at least 2 hours after lunch. Participant should drink at least a ½ gallon of water each day. Rigosertib should be refrigerated. Participant will also be given a study drug diary. Participant should write down each dose of study drug that participant takes, when participant takes it, and if participant misses or vomit any doses. If participant misses or vomits a dose of rigosertib, participant should not make up the dose. Participant should take the next scheduled dose as planned. Every 4 weeks for 12 weeks, then every 8 weeks thereafter, participant should bring any leftover rigosertib capsules and participant's study drug diary with participant to the clinic. Study Visits: On Cycle 1 Day 1: Participant will have a physical exam. Blood (about 2-3 teaspoons) and urine will be collected for routine tests. Blood (about 2 teaspoons) will be drawn for pharmacokinetic (PK) testing about 1 hour after participant's dose of study drug. PK testing measures the amount of study drug in the body at different time points. Participant will complete a questionnaire about participant's quality of life. It should take about 10-15 minutes. If the doctor thinks it is needed, participant will have a computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan to check the status of the disease. Each week, blood (about 2-3 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests. If the study doctor approves it, participant may have these weekly blood draws at a local lab closer to participant's home. The results from these routine tests will be sent to the study doctor. On Day 1 of Week 4, blood (about 2 teaspoons each time) will be drawn for PK testing before and 1 hour after participant's dose of study drug. At Weeks 24 and 48 (± 1 week): Participant will have a bone marrow aspirate/biopsy performed to check the status of the disease. This sample may also be used for cytogenetic testing. If participant had a CT/MRI scan performed during Week 1, participant will have another CT/MRI scan to check the status of the disease. If participant can become pregnant, urine will be collected for a pregnancy test. Every 4 weeks until Week 12 and then every 8 weeks after that: Participant will have a physical exam. Blood (about 2-3 teaspoons) and urine will be collected for routine tests. Participant will complete a questionnaire about participant's quality of life. Length of Study: Participant may continue taking the study drug for up to 48 weeks. Participant will no longer be able to take the study drugs if the disease gets worse, if intolerable side effects occur, or if participant is unable to follow study directions. If the doctor thinks it is in participant's best interest, participant may be able to continue taking the study drug after 48 weeks. The study doctor will discuss this with participant. Participation on the study will be over after the end-of-study visit. End-of-Study Visit: About 4 weeks after participant's last dose of study drug, participant will have an end-of-study visit. At this visit: Participant will have a physical exam. Blood (about 2-3 teaspoons) and urine will be collected for routine tests. This routine blood and urine collection will also include a pregnancy test if participant can become pregnant.

Eligibility Criteria
-----------------
Inclusion Criteria: >/= 18 years of age; Diagnosis of primary myelofibrosis (PMF) or post-polycythemia vera (post-PV) MF or post-essential thrombocythemia (post-ET) MF based on the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria or the International Working Group-Myeloproliferative Neoplasms Research and Treatment (IWG-MRT) criteria, which must be confirmed by BM aspirate and/or biopsy within 6 weeks prior to Screening. Measurement of JAK2 V617F allele burden in Bone Marrow (BM) samples, if not done within 6 months prior to Screening, must be provided with the Screening BM biopsy/aspirate report (patients are eligible regardless of JAK2 mutation status); Anemia or RBC-transfusion dependence defined as follows: a) Anemia: defined for the purpose of this protocol as 1) a hemoglobin level <10 g/L on every determination over 84 days before study-entry, without red blood cell (RBC)-transfusions, or 2) a hemoglobin level <10 g/L on a patient that is receiving RBC-transfusions periodically but not meeting criteria for transfusion-dependent patient as defined below. The baseline hemoglobin value for these subjects is the lowest hemoglobin level during the antecedent 84 days; b) RBC-transfusion-dependence: RBC-transfusion-frequency of >/=2 units packed red blood cells (PRBC)/28 days averaged over 84 days immediately pre-study-entry. There must not be any consecutive 42 days without an RBC-transfusion during this interval. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1 or 2; Willing to adhere to the prohibitions and restrictions specified in this protocol (Notation: the subject's willingness to adhere to prohibitions and restrictions must be clearly communicated in the on-study note); The patient must signed an informed consent form (ICF) indicating that s/he understands the purpose of, and procedures required for, the study and is willing to participate.
