Conditions: Accelerated/Blast-phase Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Chronic-phase Myelofibrosis IDH2 Mutation
Keywords: Phase II Myelofibrosis Therapeutic Ruxolitinib Enasidenib IDH2
Allocation: NA | Intervention model: SINGLE_GROUP
Enrollment: 6
Healthy volunteers: yes

Brief summary:
The presence of IDH mutation is associated with worse survival in patients with myelofibrosis. Moreover IDH mutations are among the most frequently encountered events in MPNs that have progressed to acute myeloid leukemia. Ruxolitinib, a JAK1/2 inhibitor, and enasidenib an IDH2 inhibitor are effective and tolerable treatments for patients with myelofibrosis (MF) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), respectively. The study team hypothesize that the combination of these agents in patients with MPN with an IDH2 mutation will improve the overall clinical response to therapy.

Detailed description:
At this time, there is no standard medical treatment for MPN-AP/BP and most patients with accelerated and blast phase MPN do not respond well to treatment This is a phase II open-label study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of combined ruxolitinib and enasidenib in patients with accelerated/blast-phase myeloproliferative neoplasm or chronic phase myelofibrosis with high risk features and IDH2 mutation.

Ruxolitinib (Jakafi/Jakavi) is FDA approved for myelofibrosis and was shown to reduce splenomegaly and improve symptoms. Enasidenib is a potent inhibitor of the IDH2 mutant enzyme and is FDA approved for relapsed refractory AML where it showed effectivity.

Pre-clinical studies indicate increased disease mitigating effects with the combination of enasidenib and ruxolitinib.

This study will enroll up to 32 patients. Ruxolitinib and enasidenib will be given orally in 28-day cycles.

Arms:
arm 1: Ruxolitinib and Enasidenib combination therapy

Interventions: intervention 1: Ruxolitinib intervention 2: Enasidenib
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Patients who are on ruxolitinib will continue their current dose. Patients who are not on ruxolitinib will receive ruxolitinib dosing based on platelet count intervention 2: 50mg -100mg daily

Duration of administration 
Duration of treatment anticipated to be at least 6 months.  Responders will 
continue therapy indefinitely unless progression of disease occurs, toxicity 
warranting discontinuation of therapy is observed, or at the discretion of the 
treating physician.  
Statistical Methodology 
The primary endpoint of this study is best overall response, defined as partial 
response or better (CR+PR+Cri), and will be defined as the best response by 
Cycle 6 of combination therapy.  All patients meeting the eligibility criteria who 
have signed a consent form and have begun treatment will be evaluable for 
response. Any evaluable patient not meeting the definition for response will be 
deemed as having a non- response. 
 
The largest overall response rate where the proposed combination treatment 
regimen would be considered ineffective in this patient population is 5%, and the 
smallest response rate that would warrant subsequent studies with the proposed 
regimen is 25%. This is based on retrospective analysis applying the 2013 IWG 
Response Criteria to patients treated with ruxolitinib. A Simon’s two-stage 
minimax design will be employed to test the null hypothesis that the true overall 
response rate in this patient population is at most 5%.

SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE 
6.1 
DISEASE BACKGROUND 
Myeloproliferative neoplasms 
Polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET) and primary myelofibrosis (PMF) are each 
clonal stem cell malignancies each of which are classified as Philadelphia chromosome negative 
myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) by the World Health Organization (WHO)2. A portion of patients 
with PV and ET can evolve to a clinical picture which resembles PMF (post- PV/ET MF). Post-PV/ET 
MF and PMF, collectively referred to as MF, have similar clinical phenotypes with a median age at 
diagnosis of 65 years3, 3,4. MF is characterized by severe constitutional symptoms, progressive 
hepatosplenomegaly, peripheral blood cytopenias often requiring transfusional support and an increased 
propensity for transformation to a clinical picture resembling acute leukemia, termed myelofibrosis in 
blast phase (MF-BP)5. Like chronic myeloid leukemia, the blast phase of the MPN is nearly always 
preceded by an accelerated phase (MF-AP). Patients with more than 10% blasts in the peripheral blood 
or bone marrow have a median survival of less than 12 months rendering such patients candidates for 
aggressive therapy and placing MF-AP squarely on the continuum of progression to blast phase (4.1). 
Approximately 10-20% of MF patients will transform to MF-BP during the first decade following 
diagnosis with a median overall survival at the time of transformation of 2.6 months4,6.In addition, a 
recent publication reports that patient with 5-9% of blasts (≥ 4-9% PB or ≥ 5-9% BM) have similar 
inferior outcome as patients with > 10% blasts as compare to patient with <4% circulating blasts7. 
The choice of appropriate treatment options for MF patients is currently based on the prognosis of the 
individual patient8. Several prognostic scoring systems that utilize various clinical parameters including 
age, leukocyte count, hemoglobin level, platelet count, monocyte count, peripheral blast count, presence 
of splenomegaly, constitutional symptoms and degree of bone marrow fibrosis (BMF) are helpful in 
predicting patient outcome4,9-11. Patients under the age of 65 without significant co-morbidities and 
intermediate/high risk disease by Lille classification or int-2/high risk by IWG-MRT PSS are considered 
candidates for reduced intensity conditioning stem cell transplant (RIC-SCT). Allogeneic stem cell 
transplant is the only modality that offers the potential for cure, although the risk of transplant related 
mortality (TRM) and the morbidity and mortality associated with graft versus host disease (GVHD) are 
considerable12. Patients older than 65 or with competing co-morbidities are considered not to be 
candidates for RIC-ASCT but rather candidates for therapies such as interferon-alfa, immunomodulatory 
agents (IMiDs) JAK2-TKIs or histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACI). MF patients that either fail 
current experimental therapies or are ineligible due to limiting cytopenias often have no alternative 
treatment options other than agents including hydroxyurea, melphalan, thalidomide, lenalidomide and 
danazol that achieve response rates of 20-50%, but have not been shown to alter the natural progression 
of disease13,14.   
Activating mutations of the Janus Kinase 2 receptor tyrosine kinase (JAKV617F), the thrombopoietin 
receptor (MPL W515L/K) and Calreticulin (CALR)have been identified in many patients with MPNs. 
Approximately 50-60% of patients with MF carry the JAK2 mutations, 20-25% CALR mutations and 
5% MPL mutations15-20. Mutations in additional Sex Combs-Like 1 (ASXL1), Ten-Eleven translocation-
2 (TET2), serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 2 (SRSF2), U2AF1, IDH and others have also been 
discovered in MPN patients and can coexist independently of JAK2V617F21-24.The prognostic 
significance of these mutations remains uncertain. Some of the mutation are considered high risk 
mutations and confer worse OS25,26. Ruxolitinib (Small molecule inhibitor of JAK2) has been shown to 
produce durable clinical benefits in terms of spleen volume reduction and improvement in constitutional 
symptoms with an acceptable toxicity profile27,28. Based on the results of two phase III studies 
(COMFORT-I, COMFORT-II)27,28showing improvement in spleen size, symptom control and 
improvement in quality of life, ruxolitinib was approved for use in patients with intermediate or high-risk 
myelofibrosis by the FDA. There is also evidence of a benefit in overall survival (OS) in patients treated 
with ruxolitinib. An OS advantage (HR=0.58; 95% CI, 0.39-0.85, p=0.005) in treated patients compared

to historical controls has been reported29.In addition, an analysis of the COMFORT-I study confirmed 
that patients treated with ruxolitinib had an OS advantage compared with placebo (HR=0.58, 95% CI, 
0.36-0.95, p=0.03) with a median of 102 weeks of follow up30.Follow-up analysis of the COMFORT-II 
trial has also demonstrated an OS advantage for patients treated with ruxolitinib31. 
In comparison to de novo AML, MPN-BP is highly resistant to standard induction chemotherapy and 
responses, if achieved, are difficult to maintain.  A retrospective review of 2333 myelofibrosis patients 
from Mayo clinic identified 91 patients who met WHO criteria for MF-BP6. The median overall survival 
of the entire group was 2.6 months after leukemic transformation with a median survival of 3.9 months 
in those patients receiving AML-like induction therapy. No patient achieved a complete response (CR) 
with induction therapy.  In a retrospective study of 74 patients with BCR-ABL negative MPN-BP at the 
MD Anderson Cancer Center, the best outcomes were seen in those receiving allogeneic stem cell 
transplants either upfront or immediately after achieving a response to induction therapy32. The survival 
was the same (6-7 months) for those patients that received either standard AML induction-like therapy 
or low dose therapies such as gemtuzumab, azacytidine or decitabine. In this review, a CR/CRi rate of 
46% was obtained with induction therapy but the median time to relapse was only 5 months. The 
prognosis for MPN-BP is dismal with present therapeutic options and more effective therapies are 
required. 
IDH2 Mutations in MPN: The presence of IDH mutations has prognostic significance in patients with 
MPNs. IDH mutations are associated with an increased risk of leukemic transformation. Co-occurring 
mutations in IDH1/2 and JAK2V617F33are associated with significantly reduced leukemia-free 
survival25in MF patients. Finally, IDH1/2mutations are among the most frequently encountered events 
in MPNs that have progressed to AML33,34. These clinical observations suggest, as is the case with TET2 
mutations, that IDH mutations alter the disease biology of MPNs. Moreover, a recent meta-analysis has 
showed that the presence of IDH mutation is associated with worse survival in patients with 
myelofibrosis35. 
Preclinical Data: Development and characterization of a JaK2V617F-Idh2R140Q murine model of 
MPN: To create a faithful model of phenotypic cooperativity betweenIDH2andJAK2 mutations, 
conditional knock-in Idh2R140Q mice were crossed with Jak2V617F and Mx1-cre. Intraperitoneal 
injections of polyI:polyC were used to excise and induce expression of both mutant alleles in 
hematopoietic cells.  Mice expressing combined Idh2R140Q and Jak2V617F demonstrated 
splenomegaly, leukocytosis and polycythemia similar to that of Jak2V617F mice, at timed sacrifices at 
approximately 100 days. Histologically, these mice demonstrated disrupted splenic architecture with 
blast-like cells, not seen in Jak2V617F mice. Bone marrow cytospins demonstrated abnormal myeloid 
elements with a strongly elevated M:E ratio. These data indicate that combined mutant mice have a 
lethal myeloproliferative neoplasm with histological pre-leukemic features. Competitive transplants 
demonstrated that the presence of the Idh2 mutant improved the competitive capacity of the donor bone 
marrow regardless of Jak2 mutant status. Transplant recipients developed a phenotype very similar to 
primary mice including polycythemia and thrombocytosis. Notably, leukocytosis was greater in 
recipients of Idh2R140Q-Jak2V617F marrow in comparison to Jak2V617F marrow. Flow cytometric 
analysis of Idh2R140Q-Jak2V617F primary mice demonstrated expansion of the lineage negative Sca+ 
cKit+ (LSK) population. Preclinical evaluation of combined JAK1/2 inhibition and IDH2 inhibition: 
To test the therapeutic efficacy of combined JAK1/2 inhibition and mutant IDH2 inhibition, 
Idh2R140Q-Jak2V617F mice were treated with ruxolitinib (60mg/kg) and enasidenib (100mg /kg) twice 
daily by gavage for 21-28 days. Primary recipients of Idh2R140Q-Jak2V617F bone marrow treated with 
enasidenib showed reduction of plasma 2-hydroxyglutarate (an oncometabolite product of mutant IDH2) 
to the level of wild type mice (Figure 1A). Monotherapy with either enasidenib or ruxolitinib reduced 
splenomegaly, while combined treatment completely resolved splenomegaly (Figure 1B). Combined 
therapy with enasidenib and ruxolitinib normalized polycythemia and leukocytosis to a level not seen 
with monotherapy (Figure 1C,D).  In the spleen, cells identified morphologically as blasts are no longer 
present in single AG221 or combined treatment with AG221, but not ruxolitinib, resulted in reduction of 
CD34 immunohistochemical staining in cells with megakaryocyte morphology (Figure 1E, F), 
transplant assay was used to examine the effect of therapy with inhibitors on donor chimerism. In

comparing peripheral blood from individual mice before and after treatment, we observed that mice 
treated with either enasidenib or with combined enasidenib and ruxolitinib showed significant reductions 
in mutant donor chimerism; in contrast, mice treated with either ruxolitinib or vehicle showed significant 
expansion of the proportion of mutant derived clones.  These effects were not seen in mice transplanted 
with Jak2V617F-mutant cells demonstrating specificity for IDH2-mutant MPN cells.

JAKs play an important role in signal transduction following cytokine and growth factor binding to their 
receptors. In addition, JAKs activate a number of downstream pathways implicated in the proliferation 
and survival of malignant cells including the STATs (signal transducers and activators of transcription), 
a family of important latent transcription factors. Aberrant activation of JAKs has been associated with 
increased malignant cell proliferation and malignant cell survival in patients with Philadelphia 
chromosome negative MPD.  The finding that peripheral blood from myeloproliferative disease (MPD) 
patients is capable of forming erythroid and megakaryocyte colonies in the absence of exogenous factors 
(which signal through JAKs) suggests that cells from these patients are intrinsically different than normal 
cells.  Indeed, work from a number of laboratories led to the identification of multiple somatic mutations 
in genes associated with cytokine and growth factor signaling. These include a mutation in the pseudo-
kinase domain of JAK2V617F (amino acid 617, valine to phenylalanine) that results in constitutive 
activation of JAK2 and downstream STATs. This mutation was found in > 90% of all PV patients and

in approximately 50% of all ET and Myelofibrosis with Myeloid Metaplasia (MMM) patients. More 
recently, other mutations have been identified in MPD patients lacking the JAK2V617F mutation. For 
instance, additional activating mutations in JAK2, as well as a mutation in the thrombopoietin receptor 
(MPL) and calreticulin (CALR) result in constitutive ligand- independent JAK activation. Importantly, 
ectopic expression of each of these mutant genes has been demonstrated to be sufficient to cause MPN-
like syndromes in mice.  Moreover, even in MPN patients lacking a confirmed JAK2 mutation, the 
detection of STAT activation suggests dysregulated JAK activity. In fact, regardless of the mutational 
status of JAK2, the malignant cells expectedly retain their responsiveness to  JAK activating cytokines 
and/or growth factors; hence, they may benefit from JAK inhibition. These findings, in addition to the 
limited life span of these patients and lack of beneficial therapies for the treatment of PMF and post-
PV/ET MF, clearly support the use of a JAK inhibitor in these diseases. 
Ruxolitinib is a JAK1/2 inhibitor that is currently FDA-approved for the treatment of patients with 
intermediate and high-risk MF (as well as PV patients with inadequate response to or are intolerant of 
hydroxyurea). Ruxolitinib is a substituted pyrrolopyrimidine compound that acts as a potent and 
selective inhibitor of the Janus kinase family of enzymes. Ruxolitinib is a novel, potent, and selective 
inhibitor of the JAKs with modest selectivity for JAK2. Ruxolitinib potently (IC50 values < 5 nM) 
inhibits JAKs, yet it does not significantly inhibit (<30% inhibition) a broad panel of 26 other kinases 
when tested at 200 nM (approximately 100 times the average IC50 value for JAK enzyme inhibition). 
Moreover, in cell-based assays relevant to the pathogenesis of MPDs, such as JAK-STAT signaling and 
the growth of cytokine-dependent lines, ruxolitinib demonstrated excellent potency (IC50 values of 80-
141 nM). This effect was not due to general cytotoxicity, because ruxolitinib (up to 25 μM) had no 
significant effect on the growth of cytokine-independent cell lines transformed by the Bcr-Abl  
oncogene.  In addition, ruxolitinib inhibited JAK/STAT signaling and growth of a cell line expressing 
the JAK2 mutant variant (JAK2V617F) that has been implicated in the pathogenesis of the majority of 
Philadelphia chromosome negative MPN. Additional details as to the in vitro pharmacology of 
ruxolitinib may be found in the Clinical Investigator’s Brochure (IB). Ruxolitinib was evaluated in two 
mouse models where either a cytokine-dependent multiple myeloma cell line, INA-6, oracell line, BaF3, 
engineered to express JAK2V617F was inoculated. The ability of ruxolitinib to inhibit JAK pathway 
signaling as well as tumor cell survival and growth was assessed in vivo. In vitro cell biology 
experiments have demonstrated that the potency of ruxolitinib is very similar between the cytokine-
dependent INA-6 myeloma cells, with wild type JAKs, and the BaF3 cells expressing a clinically 
relevant mutant JAK2. As such, the in vivo studies described herein characterize the ability of 
ruxolitinib to inhibit wild type JAK2 (using the INA-6 xenograft model) and MPD-related mutant JAK2 
(using a mouse model of splenomegaly driven by cells expressing the mutant JAK2V617F). 
Treatment of mice with orally administered ruxolitinib resulted in a dose-dependent suppression of 
STAT3 phosphorylation and tumor growth in the cytokine-dependent INA-6 xenograft model at doses 
≥ 10mg/kg BID. Moreover, oral administration of ruxolitinib inhibited the dramatic splenomegaly in 
mice resulting from intravenous inoculation of the BaF3-JAK2V617F cells. Additional details as to the 
in vivo pharmacology of ruxolitinib may be found in the Clinical Investigator’s Brochure (CIB). In 
summary, pharmacological data obtained in both in vitro and in vivo model systems support the potential 
utility of orally administered ruxolitinib in the treatment of malignancies, including MPD such as PMF 
and Post-PV/ET MF. 
The chemical name of ruxolitinib phosphate is (R)-3-(4-(7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d] pyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-
pyrazol-1-yl)-3-cyclopentylpropanenitrile phosphate. Ruxolitinib phosphate has a molecular formula 
of C17H21N6O4P and a molecular weight of 404.36. Ruxolitinib phosphate drug substance is a white 
to off-white powder and is referred to herein as ruxolitinib.

Ruxolitinib has been shown to produce durable clinical benefits in terms of spleen volume reduction and 
improvement in constitutional symptoms with an acceptable toxicity profile27,28. Based on the results of 
two Phase III studies (COMFORT-I, COMFORT-II)27,28 showing improvement in spleen size, symptom 
control and improvement in quality of life, ruxolitinib was approved for use in patients with intermediate 
or high-risk myelofibrosis by the FDA. There is also evidence of a benefit in overall survival (OS) in 
patients treated with ruxolitinib. An OS advantage (HR=0.58; 95% CI, 0.39-0.85, p=0.005) in treated 
patients compared to historical controls has been reported29. In addition, an analysis of the COMFORT-
I study confirmed that patients treated with ruxolitinib had an OS advantage compared with placebo 
(HR=0.58,95%CI, 0.36-0.95, p-0.03) with a median of 102 weeks of followup30. Follow-up analysis of 
the COMFORT-II trial has also demonstrated an OS advantage for patients treated with ruxolitinib31. 
6.3 
Enasidenib (AG-221) 
The IDH enzymes play critical roles in catalyzing the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to produce 
carbon dioxide (CO2) and alpha-ketoglutarate (α-KG) enzyme in the citric acid cycle.  Of the two best 
characterized isoforms, IDH1 and IDH2, mutations in IDH2 have been found in approximately 15% of 
subjects with AML36,37.  The mutated proteins have a gain-of-function, neomorphic activity, catalyzing 
the reduction of α-KG to 2-HG while lacking the ability to synthesize isocitrate38.  The excess 
accumulation of 2-HG leads to inhibition of dioxygenase dependent enzymes such as ten-eleven 
translocation (TET) and Jumonji which are responsible for demethylating DNA and histones, 
respectively, the consequence of which results in an altered epigenetic state and impaired cellular 
differentiation39,40.   
Recurring mutations in IDH2 may be important for AML pathogenesis or disease progression41.  
Retrospective clinical data have revealed that the presence of IDH1 mutations is associated with a worse 
prognosis in younger cytogenetically-normal AML subjects and subjects with IDH2 mutations had a 
significantly lower complete response rate37.  In a retrospective study of 398 subjects < 60 years of age 
who were diagnosed with AML and randomly assigned to receive induction therapy with high-dose or 
standard dose daunorubicin, IDH2 mutations were in general associated with an improved overall 
survival42.  Prospective clinical studies will help further understand the impact mutations, co-mutations, 
and/or karyotype status have on disease outcomes in the presence of an IDH mutation. 
Enasidenib is a first-in-class, selective, potent inhibitor of the neomorphic activity of IDH2 mutant 
enzyme and has been shown to suppress 2-HG production in enzymatic, cell-based, and in vivo systems.  
Pharmacology studies support that suppression of 2-HG levels by enasidenib results in alterations of 
cellular downstream markers, leading to a release in the block of tumor cell differentiation. 
Enasidenib has rapid oral absorption, low to medium total body plasma clearance, and low to high 
volume of distribution. The half-lives range from 2.5 to 5.4 hours, and oral bioavailability was 
approximately 40% to 50% (free base) in toxicology species.  Enasidenib is metabolized by multiple 
cytochromes (CYPs) and uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucuronosyl transferases (UGTs).  Enasidenib is 
a direct inhibitor for CYP2C8,2C9, 2C19 and 2D6, as well as UDP-glucuronosyl transferase 1 family, 
polypeptide A1 (UGT1A1). The N-dealkylated metabolite, AGI-16903 is also an inhibitor of CYP1A2, 
2C8 and 2C9.  Enasidenib and AGI-16903 are weak inducers of CYP3A4.  Preliminary results indicate 
that enasidenib increased 4β-hydroxycholesterol level in subjects, indicating CYP3A induction in 
patients.  Enasidenib is not a substrate, but is a potent inhibitor of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and breast 
cancer resistance protein (BCRP).  In vitro, enasidenib is an inhibitor of organic anion transporter 
(OAT) 1, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and organic cation transporter (OCT) 2, while AGI-16903 is an 
inhibitor of BCRP, OAT1, OAT3, OATP1B1, and OCT2.  AGI-16903 is also a substrate of P-gp and 
BCRP.  Clinical relevance of such in vitro interactions will be evaluated in humans as needed. 
The toxicity profile of enasidenib has been evaluated in repeat dose oral toxicity studies of up to 90 days 
in Sprague-Dawley rats, and cynomolgus monkeys and for 7 days in beagle dogs, and in the bacterial 
reverse mutation (Ames) and mammalian chromosomal aberration assays in vitro.  Enasidenib was 
neither mutagenic nor clastogenic.  Dose-limiting toxicities in rats after 28 days of dosing were

multifactorial and included gastrointestinal tract atrophy and erosions, lymphoid atrophy, degeneration, 
and necrosis, bone marrow hypocellularity and necrosis, skeletal muscle degeneration and necrosis, 
pancreas and kidney epithelial vacuolation, and adrenal cortical hemorrhage and necrosis.  After 
90 days of dosing, non-dosing limiting target organ toxicities in rats were limited to testes/epididymides 
and pancreas.  In monkeys, ulcerative inflammation in the large intestine was determined as the dose-
limiting toxicity.  No changes in cardiovascular functions were noted in monkeys; however coronary 
artery lesion (periarteritis) was observed at the dose associated with dose-limiting toxicity indicated 
above.  Findings in large intestine and coronary artery in monkeys were observed following 28 days of 
dosing.  Additional target organ toxicities secondary to decreased body weight and food consumption 
in monkeys included femur/tibia (either dysplasia or decreased thickness of physis), bone marrow 
(decreased cellularity), thymus (atrophy/involution), liver (cytoplasmic rarefaction) and pancreas 
(acinar cell degranulation).  In dogs, there were enasidenib dose-related prolonged heart rate-corrected 
QT (QTc) intervals, hypotension and increased heart rate.  These functional cardiovascular effects of 
enasidenib were the likely underlying causes of coronary artery lesions in dogs.   
As of 15 Apr 2016, data are available for 330 subjects from Study AG221-C-001 who have been 
administered enasidenib across 13 dosing cohorts up to a 650 mg daily dose, including both BID and 
QD dosing regimens.  Study AG221-C-002, a food effect study in healthy volunteers is complete. Study 
AG-221-CP-001, a pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety study in healthy male Japanese and Caucasian 
adult subjects, and Study AG-221-CP-002, a PK study to evaluate the metabolism and excretion and 
determine absolute bioavailability of enasidenib in healthy male adult subjects, are also complete.  
Study AG221-C-003, a Phase 1/2 dose escalation study, evaluated enasidenib at doses ≥ 100 mg daily 
in subjects with advanced solid tumors with an IDH2 mutation, including glioma, and in subjects with 
AITL with an IDH2 mutation. Doses up to 650 mg were well-tolerated. The expansion phase of AG221-
C-003 was canceled based on the Sponsor’s decision to focus on the relapsed refractory AML indication 
and not for any safety reason. Ongoing studies include a Phase 3 randomized study in subjects with R/R 
AML with IDH2 mutation (AG-221-AML-004), a Phase 1b/2 study in subjects with newly-diagnosed 
AML (AG-221-AML-005), and a Phase 1 study in subjects with newly diagnosed AML sponsored by 
Agios in collaboration with Celgene (AG120-221-C-001).  Study AG-221-C-005 is evaluating oral AG-
120 plus subcutaneous (SC) azacitidine and oral enasidenib plus SC azacitidine in subjects with newly 
diagnosed AML with IDH1 or IDH2 mutation, respectively, who are not candidates to receive intensive 
induction chemotherapy. Study AG120-221-C-001 is evaluating AG-120 or enasidenib in combination 
with induction and consolidation therapy in subjects with newly diagnosed AML with an IDH1 and/or 
IDH2 mutation. 
Data from Study AG221-C-001 showed that enasidenib was well-tolerated at total daily doses up to 650 
mg. The MTD was not reached in the dose escalation part of the AG221-C-001 study. Based on 
pharmacodynamic and efficacy data, the 100 mg daily dose was chosen for further development.  No 
meaningful differences in nature, incidence, or severity of the Adverse Events (AE) have been observed 
between subjects with R/R AML, previously untreated AML, or MDS. As of 15 Apr 2016, 93 deaths 
have been reported in Study AG221-C-001 either on study or within 28 days of the last dose of study 
treatment.  Deaths were attributed to complications of the underlying condition or disease progression, 
with an exception of 1 subject who experienced pericardial effusion complicated by fatal cardiac 
tamponade. Retrospective analysis of this case suggests that pericardial effusion was a likely sign of 
isocitrate dehydrogenase-differentiation syndrome (IDH-DS).  Serious adverse events (SAEs) reported 
in ≥ 5% of the study participants included febrile neutropenia in 79 (23.9%), pneumonia in 47 (14.2%), 
sepsis in 39 (11.8%), pyrexia in 28 (8.5%), leukocytosis in 27 (8.2%), IDH-DS in 24 (7.3%), lung 
infection in 21 (6.4%), acute renal failure in 18 (5.5%), tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) in 18 (5.5%), and 
fatigue in 17 (5.2%) subjects. 
The safety and tolerability of enasidenib has been evaluated in more than 440 subjects enrolled in 
clinical studies of subjects with hematologic malignancies or solid tumors and single-dose 
pharmacology studies in healthy volunteers, as of the data cutoff date for this IB (15 Apr 2016 for Study 
AG221-C-001 and 01 Jul 2016 for all other ongoing clinical studies).  In clinical studies, enasidenib 
overall was generally well tolerated, with a relatively low incidence of discontinuations due to AEs.

Specific adverse drug reactions (ADRs) to enasidenib were identified. Events of IDH-DS (similar to a 
syndrome observed with retinoic acid in acute promyelocytic leukemia), noninfectious leukocytosis, 
TLS, GI disturbances (such as nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and associated dysgeusia and decreased 
appetite), and hyperbilirubinemia have been observed in subjects with hematologic malignancies. 
Gastrointestinal disturbances and hyperbilirubinemia have been also observed in subjects with solid 
tumors. IDH-DS and noninfectious leukocytosis are associated with enasidenib mechanism of action 
and generally decrease in incidence with time. 
Preliminary analysis of PK data in Study AG221-C-001 (as of 15 Apr 2016) from subjects with 
advanced hematologic malignancies up to the 650 mg QD dose level demonstrated high plasma 
exposures, a long mean plasma half-life of enasidenib after a single dose, high drug accumulation after 
multiple doses, and relatively high PK variability.  The mean time to Cmax (Tmax) ranged from 
approximately 1 to 24 hours when administered as a single dose 3 days before study treatment began.  
In a subset of IDH2 mutated AML subjects, correlation of drug exposure, 2-HG levels, and IDH2 
mutation site was evaluated.  A comparison of PK data between the 2 groups (R140Q and R172K) at 
the enasidenib 100-mg dose level indicated that the average steady state exposure level (AUC0-10 or 
Cmax) was similar. Enasidenib treatment decreased 2-HG levels in R140Q and R172K patients.  
Preliminary analysis showed no clear correlation between 2-HG suppression and clinical response to 
enasidenib. 
As of 15 Apr 2016 in Study AG221-C-001, the overall response rate (ORR) (defined as complete 
response [CR] + CR with incomplete neutrophil recovery [CRi] + morphologic CR with incomplete 
platelet recovery [CRp] + partial response [PR] + marrow CR [mCR] + morphologic leukemia free state 
[MLFS]) among the 113 subjects in the dose escalation phase was 45.1% with a median time to first 
response of 1.9 months and a median time to best response of 3.7 months.  Twenty-four of the 113 
subjects (21.2%) achieved a best response of CR, with a median time to CR of 3.8 months. Responses 
occurred in all dosing groups (30 mg BID to 650 mg QD). Of the 176 subjects with R/R AML in the 
combined Phase 1 part of the study, the ORR was 40.3%, with a median duration of response of 5.8 
months.  Thirty-four of the 176 subjects (19.3%) achieved a CR, with a median duration of CR of 8.8 
months. The ORR, CR, and median duration of response were similar in the subset of subjects who 
received the 100 mg daily dose compared with the total R/R AML population. Of the 71 responders 
among subjects with R/R AML, the median time to first response was 1.9 months and the median time 
to best response was 3.7 months.  The median times to first response and best response were similar in 
the subset of subjects who received the 100 mg daily dose.  At the time of data cutoff, median event-
free survival for subjects with R/R AML was 6.4 months (95% CI = 5.4, 7.5) and median overall 
survival was 9.3 months (95% CI = 8.2, 10.9). 
This study43 led to the Food and Drug Administration approval to enasidenib for the treatment of adult 
patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia with IDH2 mutation in August 2017.

STUDY OBJECTIVES 
Ruxolitinib (also known as INCB018424), a JAK1/2 inhibitor, and enasidenib (AG-221, an IDH2 
inhibitor) are effective and tolerable treatments for patients with myelofibrosis (MF) and acute myeloid 
leukemia (AML), respectively. We hypothesize that the combination of these agents in patients with 
MPN with an IDH2 mutation will improve the overall clinical response to therapy without causing 
excessive toxicity.

TREATMENT DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION 
Patients who are on ruxolitinib will continue their current dose. Patients who are not on ruxolitinib 
will receive ruxolitinib per Table 1 dosing based on platelet count (modified package insert dosing). 
Enasidenib will be given at 100 mg daily on enrollment for patients with accelerated and blast phase 
myelofibrosis regardless of platelet count (this will be deemed Cycle 1). Patients with chronic phase 
myelofibrosis will receive Enasidenib at starting dose of 50 mg daily for cycle 1. The dose of 
Enasidenib will be increased to 100 mg for cycle 2 if the platelet count stays above 50,000 at the end 
of cycle 1 (Table 3a) and no other therapy emergent SAE of grade >2 developed (except grade 2 
hyperbilirubinemia that is acceptable for dose escalation). 
Ruxolitinib and enasidenib will be given orally in an outpatient setting unless the patient is being seen 
inpatient for another reason. Ruxolitinib and enasidenib will be given orally in 28-day cycles.  
Patients should fast 2 hours before and 1-hour post enasidenib. Ruxolitinib may be administered 
independent of fasting and may be given with enasidenib. All protocol mandated visits will be 
performed at one of the participating institutions. Patients will return to the treating institution at a 
minimum of weekly during Cycles 1 and 2, every 4 weeks for Cycles 3 and beyond. Additional clinic 
visits will be mandated according to the patient clinical condition and at the discretion of the treating 
provider. Patients will have an end of study visit for a safety follow-up at 30 days after their last dose 
of therapy. 
The dosages of ruxolitinib and/or enasidenib can be reduced, based on assessment of adverse events, 
if any occur, as described below in Section 10.1. Missed or vomited doses of ruxolitinib or enasidenib 
will not be made up. 
Twenty-eight days is considered one cycle of therapy. Attempts will be made to provide an adequate 
treatment period with the combination of at least 6 cycles, unless significant toxicity is observed, to 
account for delayed time to response observed with biologic agents. Responders will continue therapy 
indefinitely unless progression of disease occurs, toxicity warranting discontinuation of therapy is

10.1 DOSE MODIFICATION FOR NON-HEMATOLOGICAL AE’S, 
CLINICALLY SIGNIFICANT IN THE OPINION OF THE TREATING 
PHYSICIAN 
Based on available pharmacokinetic and drug metabolism data, ruxolitinib is mainly metabolized by 
CYP3A4 with additional contribution from CYP2C9. Enasidenib inhibits CYP2C9 and induces 
CYP3A4. Although no adjustment is recommended when ruxolitinib is co-administrated with 
CYP3A4 inducer, potential drug-drug interactions might occur. This study will be the first time 
ruxolitinib and enasidenib will be used in combination for this patient population. Therefore, the 
safety of the combination will be confirmed in the first six patients who accrue. If no more than one 
patient out of the initial six has a treatment-related Grade 3 or higher adverse event attributable to the 
study drugs, the combination therapy will be considered safe.  If more than one patient out of the 
initial six has limiting toxicity, the trial will be suspended, and the safety data will be further reviewed. 
If drug-related Grade 3 clinically relevant non-hematologic toxicity is attributable to one or both of 
the drugs (based on known adverse events profile), dose interruption of that particular drug(s) is 
mandatory. Patients who experience Grade 3 drug related clinically relevant non-hematological 
toxicity may be given a subsequent course one dose level below the previous course, but the patient 
must have recovered to Grade ≤1 before initiation of the next course. If attributable to ruxolitinib, 
dosing modifications in Tables 2a and 2b should be utilized. If attributable to enasidenib, dosing 
modification in Table 3b should be utilized. If a patient has drug-related clinically relevant Grade 4 
non-hematologic toxicity, he/she will be taken off study. The dose of therapeutic agents can be 
decreased, at the discretion of treating physician, for chronic Grade 2 non-hematologic toxicity. 
Additionally, ruxolitinib dosage may be adjusted if patients develop decline in Creatinine clearance 
(CrCl) as calculated by the Cockcroft- Gault equation as follows: Reduce ruxolitinib dose by one dose 
level for patients with moderate (CrCl 30-59 mL/min) or severe renal impairment (CrCl 15-29 
mL/min) if the patient is receiving a ruxolitinib dose of 10 mg BID or higher. (Per FDA package 
insert for ruxolitinib).  
Myelosuppression and cytopenias are expected outcomes of MF disease processes and MF treatments 
and per se will not constitute adverse events except as follows: hematologic toxicity will be 
considered Grade 4 neutropenia with fever that does not clinically resolve within 14 days in the setting 
of optimal interventions or Grade 4 thrombocytopenia with clinically-significant bleeding. Dose 
interruption of the drug to which the adverse event is attributable is required. Patients may be given 
a subsequent course one dose level below the previous course, but the patient must have recovered to 
grade ≤ baseline at study entry. The dose of therapeutic agents can be decreased, at the discretion of 
treating physician, for chronic Grade 3 hematologic toxicity. 
10.1.1 QT PROLONGATION 
QTc interval has been observed in dogs at relatively low doses of enasidenib. Prolonged QTc interval 
has not been seen in other animal species at high doses.  Subjects who experience prolongation of 
the heart-rate corrected QT interval, Fridericia’s correction (QTcF) to > 480 msec (Grade ≥ 2) while 
treated with enasidenib, should be promptly evaluated for causality of the QTc prolongation and 
managed according to the following guidelines: 
• 
Levels of electrolytes (potassium, calcium, and magnesium) should be checked and 
supplementation given to correct any values outside the normal range. 
• 
Concomitant medications should be reviewed and adjusted as appropriate for medication 
with known QT prolonging effects.

• 
If no other cause is identified and the Investigator believes it is appropriate, particularly if 
QTc remains elevated (after above measures have been implemented, or as determined by 
the Investigator), investigational product may be interrupted, and an ECG should be 
rechecked in approximately 1 week after the QTc prolongation was first observed, or more 
frequently as clinically indicated. 
o If QTc has recovered or improved and the Investigator believes it is safe to do so, 
re-challenge with enasidenib should be considered if held. ECGs should be conducted 
at least weekly (e.g., at every scheduled visit) for 2 weeks following QTc 
reduction ≤ 480 msec. 
o If Grade 2 (QTcF> 480 and ≤ 500 msec), the dose of enasidenib may be reduced to a 
dose approved by the Study Chair without interruption of dosing. The enasidenib dose 
may be re-escalated to the prior dose in ≥ 14 days after QT prolongation has decreased 
to ≤ Grade 1. 
o If Grade 3 (QTcF> 500 msec), when QTc prolongation is first observed, hospitalization 
for continuous cardiac monitoring and evaluation by a cardiologist should both be 
considered. Dosing with enasidenib will be interrupted. If QTc returns to within 30 ms 
of baseline or < 450 msec within 14 days, treatment may be resumed at a reduced dose. 
The enasidenib dose cannot be re-escalated following dose reduction for Grade 3 QTcF 
prolongation unless the prolongation was associated with an electrolyte abnormality or 
concomitant medication. 
o If Grade 4 (QTcF> 500 msec or > 60 msec change from baseline with torsade de pointes 
or polymorphic ventricular tachycardia or signs/symptoms of serious arrhythmia), 
subjects should be admitted to hospital when QTc prolongation is first observed for 
continuous cardiac monitoring and be discharged only after review by a cardiologist. 
Dosing with enasidenib should be permanently discontinued.

ABNORMAL LEVEL OF LIVER ENZYMES 
(HYPERBILIRUBINEMIA) 
Subjects with elevations in ALT ≥ 3-fold ULN, subjects will be monitored using the algorithm: 
• 
Repeat LFT (i.e., ALT, AST, total bilirubin, ALP, GGT) within < 3 days of the initial test. 
Follow-up 2-3 times weekly, and weekly when stable. 
• 
Perform additional diagnostic follow up: 
o Focused medical history, including review of prior history of liver or biliary disorders, 
concurrent 
symptoms, 
review 
of 
all 
concomitant 
medications 
(e.g., acetaminophen-containing medications, over-the-counter or herbal medications, 
nutritional supplements) including any changes in medications, detailed review of 
alcohol use. 
o Hepatitis serology (anti-HAV, HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HB core, anti-HCV, HCV RNA, 
EBV and CMV screen), and autoantibodies (e.g., ANA, anti-smooth muscle antibody). 
o Complete physical examination. 
o Liver ultrasound and follow-up imaging as appropriate. 
o Additional evaluation as appropriate (INR, PT). 
Hyperbilirubinemia generally decreased in frequency as enasidenib treatment continued. \

10.2 DOSE MODIFICATIONS FOR HEMATOLOGICAL AE’S 
For subjects receiving ruxolitinib and enasidenib, ruxolitinib dosages will be adjusted as detailed in 
Table 2a and Table 2b. 
For chronic phase MF, if platelets are reduced to <  20X109/L ruxolitinib should be stopped 
Ruxolitinib can be rechallenged at 5mg BID when platelets recover to >20X109/L, and enasidenib 
could be added the subsequent cycle as long as platelets recover to >50X109/L. 
Interrupt treatment for absolute neutrophil count (ANC) less than 0.5 X 109 /L. After recovery of 
ANC above 0.75 X 109 /L, dosing may be restarted; restart dosing at 5 mg per day lower than the dose 
prior to the treatment interruption. 
For patients with accelerated and blast phase MF, treatment will continue at the same dose regardless 
of platelet count or ANC. 
10.3 DOSE ESCALATIONS 
Patients may be escalated to the next higher dose level of ruxolitinib as per dose levels in Table 2a 
in the event that a patient’s platelet count increases, after Cycle 3 of combined therapy or in case of 
suboptimal response in the opinion if the investigator. Patients with chronic phase MF will escalate 
the dose of enasidenib from 50mg to 100 mg in cycle 2 and ongoing if platelet count stays above  
50,000 at the end of cycle 1 (Table 3a) and no other therapy emergent SAE of grade >2 developed 
(except grade 2 hyperbilirubinemia that is permitted). 
Dose of ruxolitinib and enasidenib cannot be simultaneously increased in the same cycle. Dose 
escalation is permitted if ALL of the following criteria are met: 
1. No dose reductions due to toxicity were required in the prior cycle 
2. No dose interruptions due to toxicity were required in the prior cycle 
3. The prior cycle was not delayed due to toxicity 
4. The current cycle is not delayed due to toxicity

5. ANC ≥ 1.0 x 109/L 
6. The patient has sub-optimal benefit, defined as a failure to reduce palpable spleen length by at 
least 50% and/or suboptimal improvement in disease- related symptoms as assessed by the 
Investigator. 
7. No development of new on set transfusion dependency judged to be due to therapy 
10.4 CONCOMITANT MEDICATIONS/TREATMENTS 
All supportive measures consistent with optimal subject care will be given throughout the study.  
Concomitant medications will be captured in the Case Report Form (CRF) beginning at Screening. 
Packed red blood cell or platelet transfusions are allowed when necessary.  Growth factor use 
(including erythropoietin) is not allowed with the exception of the use of filgrastim (G-CSF) or 
pegfilgrastim, which is permitted ONLY when used to treat febrile neutropenia or in patients who 
have prolonged (one week or more) Grade 3-4 neutropenia, after approval from the Study Chair.  
Concurrent use of strong inducers of CYP3A4 (Rifampin, St. John’s Wort, carbamazepine, 
phenytoin) and/or the following strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 (protease inhibitor containing HIV anti-
retrovirals, cobicistat, clarithromycin, itraconazole, ketoconazole, nefadozone, and telithromycin) are 
prohibited.  Also prohibited are CYP2C9 substrate medications that have a narrow therapeutic range: 
phenytoin and warfarin.  
The following medications that are known to prolong QT interval are prohibited: amiodarone, arsenic 
trioxide, astemizole, azithromycin, bepridil, chloroquine, chlorpromazine, cisapride, citalopram, 
clarithromycin, disopyramide, dofetilide, domperidone, droperidol, erythromycin, escitalopram, 
flecainide, 
halofantrine, 
haloperidol, 
ibutilide, 
levomethadyl, 
mesoridazine, 
methadone, 
moxifloxacin, pentamidine, pimozide, probucol, procainamide, quinidine, sevoflurane, sotalol, 
sparfloxacin, terfenadine, thioridazine, or vandetanib. 
Concomitant use of other cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents (e.g. anagrelide) or other experimental 
drug or therapy while the subject is on study is prohibited, except for hydroxyurea.  
Patients will be permitted to receive hydroxyurea while on study for a total of 3 cycles of combined 
therapy to control leukocytosis and thrombocytosis at the discretion of the treating physician. 
Patients who enter study on hydroxyurea will be permitted to remain on hydroxyurea for a total of 3 
cycles of combined therapy. Patients who continue to require hydroxyurea after 3 cycles will be 
removed from study. 
Steroids are allowed for the treatment of IDH-Inhibitor Differentiation Syndrome (IDH-DS), if 
warranted, as standard of care. The use of chronic low-dose steroids to treat an underlying medical 
condition that is not a malignancy is permitted during the course of study treatment 
For patient’s requiring ant-fungal prophylaxis, intravenous micafungin is the preferred agent.  If 
micafungin is not feasible, the oral antifungal of choice would be posaconazole barring other patient 
specific factors that would preclude use of posaconazole.  
Given the solubility profile of enasidenib, the exposure can be much lower for subjects with elevated 
gastric pH.  Thus antacids, H2 blockers, or proton pump inhibitors should be used only if medically 
necessary and with at least 4 hours of elapsed time after enasidenib administration.   
As enasidenib is an inhibitor of UGT1A1, the metabolism of drugs that are substrates for UGT1A1, 
including ezetimibe, raloxifene and raltegravir, may be slowed, leading to increased exposure to these 
compounds.  Therefore, subjects on these drugs should be switched to lower doses or alternate 
therapies, if possible, or otherwise monitored for AEs associated with the respective products and 
elevations in bilirubin levels.

Subjects treated with enasidenib may develop signs and symptoms of a IDH-Inhibitor Differentiation 
Syndrome (IDH-DS).  This may include any of the following: unexplained fever, skin rash, 
leukocytosis, thrombocytosis, hypoxia, respiratory distress, interstitial pulmonary infiltrates, pleural 
and/or pericardial effusion, peripheral edema, weight gain, or clinical deterioration.  No single sign 
or symptom may be considered per se as diagnostic of the syndrome.  It is recommended that the 
prophylactic and therapeutic measures indicated below be undertaken at the earliest manifestations of 
suspected IDH-Inhibitor Differentiation Syndrome (IDH-DS): 
• 
Enasidenib may be held at the Investigator’s discretion, and must be held if severe symptoms 
persist after 48 hours of systemic steroid administration. 
• 
Prompt initiation of hydroxyurea at a suggested dose of 2 to 3 g PO two or three times daily. 
• 
Prompt administration of corticosteroids at a suggested dose of 10 mg of dexamethasone 
intravenously (IV) every 12 hours until the disappearance of symptoms and signs, and for a 
minimum of 3 days. 
• 
Initiation of furosemide per local standard practice, if clinically required. 
• 
Prompt initiation of leukapheresis, if clinically required. 
Once the signs and symptoms resolve and the subject’s clinical condition improves, enasidenib may 
be reinitiated.  The dose of enasidenib at re-initiation is to be discussed with the Study Chair. 
For more information See Appendix D. 
10.6 NON-INFECTIOUS LEUKOCYTOSIS 
Initiation of treatment with the differentiating agents may lead to rapid WBC expansion not associated 
with infectious process and not manifesting with the signs and symptoms of IDH-Inhibitor 
Differentiation Syndrome (IDH-DS) discussed above. 
In subjects with elevated WBC, prompt initiation of hydroxyurea is suggested, as per standard local 
practices (e.g., dose of 2 to 3 g PO twice or three times daily for WBC > 30 x 109/L). In case of severe 
leukocytosis (WBC >100 x 109/L), use of leukapheresis may be appropriate. Subject should be 
regularly monitored for changes in WBC count and for new signs and symptoms of infection or IDH-
Inhibitor Differentiation Syndrome (IDH-DS). 
10.7 DISCONTINUATION OF RUXOLITINIB AND ENASIDENIB 
Upon planned discontinuation of ruxolitinib it is recommended to taper off the drug over the course 
of 4-7 days and permissible to use prednisone daily during this period to blunt rebound of symptoms.  
Since patients will be on varying dosing regimens of ruxolitinib, investigators are urged to discuss 
the ruxolitinib taper plan with Study Chairs.  
If a patient has to have ruxolitinib held abruptly for the occurrence of adverse events (e.g. major 
bleeding, significant thrombocytopenia, etc.), then the ruxolitinib may be stopped WITHOUT a taper 
and a pulse of prednisone may be utilized if deemed necessary by the Investigator. 
Enasidenib  may be interrupted or stopped without tapering. 
10.8 EVALUATION DURING TREATMENT/INTERVENTION 
Baseline evaluations are to be conducted within 28 days of the first study drug administration, unless 
otherwise indicated within the Schedule of Assessments outlined in Table 4. All scheduled visits will 
have a ±7 days window unless otherwise stated or indicated within the Schedule of Assessments.

In accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and the guidelines of the country of the participating 
MPN-RC Clinical Study Center, each subject is free to withdraw from the study at any time.  An 
Investigator also has the right to withdraw a subject from the study in the event of the patient suffering 
an intercurrent illness, adverse events, or other reasons concerning the health or well-being of the 
patient, or in the case of lack of cooperation by the patient. All serious adverse reactions need to be 
followed up until resolution and information returned to study coordinators. 
Should a subject decide to withdraw after administration of study drug, or should the Investigator 
decide to withdraw the subject, all efforts should be made to complete and report the observations up 
to the time of withdrawal as thoroughly as possible. A final evaluation, the reason for, and the date of 
withdrawal must be recorded on the CRF. The last visit for each subject will be defined as a study 
discontinuation/ end-of-study visit, which will occur 30 (±7 days) days after time of treatment 
withdrawal.  
Subjects with clinically significant abnormal laboratory values as determined by the Investigator or 
who have ongoing clinically significant treatment-related adverse events during their last scheduled 
clinical evaluation will be monitored and treated until resolution or stabilization is achieved; or, in 
the event that the subject’s condition is not likely to improve because of disease progression, until the 
cause of the abnormal test result or adverse event can be determined. 
11.1 DATA COLLECTION AND FOLLOW-UP FOR WITHDRAWN 
SUBJECTS 
The reason for and date of withdrawal from study drug treatment; and the reason for and date 
of withdrawal from the study will be recorded on the case report form (CRF). If a subject 
withdraws consent, every attempt will be made to determine the reason. If the reason for 
withdrawal is an adverse event or a clinically significant abnormal laboratory test result, 
monitoring will continue until the event has resolved or stabilized, until the subject is referred 
to the care of a local health care professional, or until a determination of a cause unrelated to 
the study drug or study procedure is made. The specific event or test result(s) must be recorded 
on the CRF. All evaluations will be performed, according to the protocol, 30 days (±7 days) 
after the patient is withdrawn from treatment. 
Patients will continue to be followed for long term survival every 3 months by telephone 
encounter or medical record review to determine the following variables: alive versus deceased 
and type of current therapy. Patients will be followed for this long term survival data until death, 
confirmed lost to follow up, or a maximum of 1 year after end of treatment. 
A subject will be considered to be lost to follow-up if all of the following criteria have been 
met: 
1. More than three phone calls to the subject are unanswered. 
2. A next of kin is contacted and no information is available. 
3. The referring physician is contacted and no information is available. 
4. A telegram or certified letter is unanswered. 
11.2 DURATION OF FOLLOW-UP 
The patient will have an end of study visit at 30 days after discontinuation of the protocol 
treatment, with a window of ±7 days, to assess for AEs. 
Patients will continue to be followed for long term survival every 3 months by telephone 
encounter or medical record review to determine the following variables: alive versus deceased 
and type of current therapy. Patients will be followed for this long term survival data until death, 
confirmed lost to follow up, or a maximum of 1 year after end of treatment.

11.3 REMOVAL OF PATIENTS FROM PROTOCOL THERAPY 
Patients will be removed from therapy when any of the criteria listed in When and How to 
Withdraw Subjects section apply. Notify the Principal Investigator and document the reason 
for study removal and the date the patient was removed in the Case Report Form. 
11.4 PATIENT ACCRUAL 
Subjects are considered evaluable as long as they have signed informed consent, are eligible 
for participation and started study treatment. The maximum sample size in the Phase II 
(accelerated/blast-phase) is 20 evaluable patients.  Allowing for enrollment of up to 2 additional 
patients to account for ineligibility, cancellation, major treatment violation, or other reasons , 
this study will enroll a maximum of 22 patients in the Phase II AP/BP cohort.  The maximum 
sample size in the chronic phase MPN is 9 evaluable patients.  Allowing for enrollment of up 
to 1 additional patient, this study will enroll a maximum of 10 patients in the descriptive chronic 
phase MPN cohort.  Therefore, a maximum total of 32 (22 +10) patients will be enrolled in the 
trial. 
12.0 STUDY TIMELINES 
 
Baseline evaluations are to be conducted within 30 days of the first study drug administration, unless 
otherwise indicated within the Schedule of Assessments outlined in Table 4.  All scheduled visits will 
have a ±7 days window unless otherwise stated or indicated within the Schedule of Assessments 
outlined below. 
Ruxolitinib and enasidenib will be given orally in 28- day cycles. Attempts will be made to provide an 
adequate treatment period with the combination of at least 6 cycles, unless significant toxicity is 
observed, to account for delayed time to response observed with biologic agents. Interval Milestone 
Response Assessment (IMRA) can be performed at the beginning of any cycle after cycle 1 if specific 
milestones are achieved that will prompt such an evaluation. Specific milestones that will prompt 
assessment consist of clearance of blasts from peripheral blood in accelerated/blast phase patients, 
which will prompt bone marrow aspirate and biopsy. In addition progression of disease (as determined 
by an increase in blasts in the peripheral blood - defined as doubling of blasts % and achieving more 
than 10% in the chronic phase patients at least 7 days apart) will prompt IMRA.  Responders will 
continue therapy indefinitely unless progression of disease occurs, toxicity warranting discontinuation 
of therapy is observed, or at the discretion of the treating physician. Patients will have an end of study 
visit for a safety follow-up at 30 days after their last dose of therapy.

This is a multicenter, Phase II trial designed to assess the effect of ruxolitinib and enasidenib 
combination in subjects with accelerated or blast-phase MPN and subjects with chronic phase Primary 
Myelofibrosis, Post Polycythemia Vera, or Post Essential Thrombocythemia Myelofibrosis (PMF, post-
PV MF, or post-ET MF) with 4-9% blasts. Patients will receive ruxolitinib and enasidenib orally on 
days 1-28 of a 28-day cycle.  
Specifically, a Phase II Simon min-max design will be conducted in accelerated or blast-phase MPN 
patients (20 patients) and a descriptive cohort of up to 9 chronic phase patients.   
Intervention 
Patients who meet eligibility criteria will be treated with ruxolitinib and enasidenib orally on days 1-28 
of a 28-day cycle. Cycles will be continued until the patient wishes to be removed from the study, 
unacceptable toxicity develops, disease progression, treating physician recommends removal, or 
termination of study occurs. 
14.1 SCREENING/BASELINE PROCEDURES 
Assessments performed exclusively to determine eligibility for this study will be done only after 
obtaining informed consent. Assessments performed for clinical indications (not exclusively to 
determine study eligibility) may be used for baseline values even if the studies were done before 
informed consent was obtained. 
All screening procedures must be performed within 30 days prior to registration unless otherwise 
stated. The screening procedures include: 
• 
Patient Informed Consent 
Before a patient undergoes screening, a medically qualified member of the Study Team who has 
been specifically trained in the implementation of this Protocol during the Site Initiation Visit or 
thereafter, such as the Site Principal Investigator, any of the co-Investigators, or a Clinical

Research Nurse must obtain documented consent from each potential patient prior to participating 
in a clinical trial. 
Consent must be documented by the patient’s dated signature or by the patient’s legally 
acceptable representative’s dated signature on a consent form along with the dated signature of 
the person conducting the consent discussion. A copy of the signed and dated consent form should 
be given to the patient before participation in the trial. 
The initial informed consent form, any subsequent revised written informed consent form and 
any written information provided to the patient must receive the IRB/EC’s approval/favorable 
opinion in advance of use. The patient or his/her legal representative should be informed in a 
timely manner if new information becomes available that may be relevant to the patient’s 
willingness to continue participation in the trial. The communication of this information will be 
provided and documented via a revised consent form that captures the patient’s or legal 
representative’s dated signature. The informed consent will adhere to IRB/EC requirements, 
applicable laws and regulations and Sponsor requirements.

death. 
16.1 DEFINITIONS OF ADVERSE EVENT 
An adverse event (AE) is any noxious, unintended, or untoward medical occurrence that may appear or 
worsen in a subject during the course of a study. It may be a new intercurrent illness, a worsening 
concomitant illness, an injury, or any concomitant impairment of the subject’s health, including 
laboratory test values, regardless of etiology.  Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse 
change in the frequency or intensity of a pre-existing condition) should be considered an AE. A 
diagnosis or syndrome should be recorded rather than the individual signs or symptoms of the diagnosis 
or syndrome 
16.2 SEVERITY OF ADVERSE EVENT 
All non-hematologic adverse events will be graded according to the NCI Common Terminology 
Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 (CTCAE). The CTCAE is available at 
https://ctep.cancer.gov/protocoldevelopment/electronic_applications/docs/CTCAE_v5_Quick_Refere
nce_8.5x11.pdf 
If no CTCAE grading is available, the severity of an AE is graded as follows: 
• 
Mild (Grade 1): the event causes discomfort without disruption of normal daily activities. 
• 
Moderate (Grade 2): the event causes discomfort that affects normal daily activities. 
• 
Severe (Grade 3): the event makes the patient unable to perform normal daily activities or 
significantly affects his/her clinical status. 
• 
Life-threatening (Grade 4): the patient was at risk of death at the time of the event. 
• 
Fatal (Grade 5): the event caused death. 
16.2.1  SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENTS (SAE) 
An adverse event is considered serious if it results in ANY of the following outcomes: 
• 
Results in death. If death results from (progression of) the disease, the disease should be 
reported as event (SAE) itself. 
• 
Is life-threatening. (The patient was at risk of death at the time of the event; it does not refer 
to an event that hypothetically might have caused death if it were more severe.) 
• 
Requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization 
for ≥ 24 hours. 
• 
Results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity. 
• 
Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect 
• 
Is an important medical event 
Events not considered SAEs are hospitalizations for: 
1. A standard procedure for protocol therapy administration. However, hospitalization or 
prolonged hospitalization for a complication of therapy administration will be reported as 
an SAE. 
2. Routine treatment or monitoring of the studied indication not associated with any 
deterioration in condition. 
3. The administration of blood or platelet transfusion as routine treatment of studied 
Indication.  However, hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization for a complication of 
such transfusion remains a reportable SAE.

Confidential 
4. A procedure for protocol/disease-related investigations (e.g., surgery, scans, endoscopy, 
sampling for laboratory tests, bone marrow sampling).  However, hospitalization or 
prolonged hospitalization for a complication of such procedures remains a reportable SAE. 
5. Hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization for technical, practical, or social reasons, 
in absence of an AE. 
6. A procedure that is planned (i.e., planned prior to starting of treatment on study); must be 
documented in the source document and the CRF.  Hospitalization or prolonged 
hospitalization for a complication remains a reportable SAE. 
7. An elective treatment of or an elective procedure for a pre-existing condition unrelated to 
the studied indication. 
8. Emergency outpatient treatment or observation that does not result in admission, unless 
fulfilling other seriousness criteria above. 
If an AE is considered serious, both the AE page/screen of the CRF and the MEDWATCH form 
must be completed.  For each SAE, the Investigator will provide information on severity, start 
and stop dates, relationship to IP, action taken regarding IP, and outcome. 
• 
Important Medical Events (IME) that may not result in death, be life threatening, or require 
hospitalization may be considered serious when, based upon medical judgment, they may 
jeopardize the patient or subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent 
one of the outcomes listed in this definition 
o Examples of such medical events include allergic bronchospasm requiring intensive 
treatment in an emergency room or at home, blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do 
not result in inpatient hospitalization, or the development of drug dependency or drug 
abuse (21CFR312.32). 
Important medical events as defined above may also be considered serious adverse events. Any 
important medical event can and should be reported as an SAE if deemed appropriate by the 
investigator. 
The term “severe” is often used to describe the intensity of a specific event (as in mild, moderate 
or severe myocardial infarction); the event itself, however, may be of relatively minor medical 
significance (such as severe headache).  This criterion is not the same as “serious” which is 
based on subject/event outcome or action criteria associated with events that pose a threat to a 
subject’s life or functioning.  
Seriousness, not severity, serves as a guide for defining regulatory obligations. 
16.2.2  ADVERSE EVENTS OF SPECIAL INTEREST (AESI) 
An adverse event of special interest (AESI) is one of scientific and medical interest specific to 
understanding of the Investigational Product and may require close monitoring of patients and rapid 
communication by the Investigator to the Sponsor. An AESI may be serious or non-serious. The rapid 
reporting of AESIs allows ongoing surveillance of these events in order to characterize and understand 
them in association with the use of this investigational product. 
AESIs for enasidenib include but are not limited to events with AESIs observed with enasidenib include 
those specified in the IB. 
16.3 CAUSALITY 
The Investigator must determine the relationship between the administration of IP and the occurrence 
of an AE/SAE as unrelated, possible, probable or definite as defined below. 
• 
Definite – The AE is clearly related to the study treatment. 
• 
Probable – The AE is likely related to the study treatment.

• 
Possible – The AE may be related to the study treatment. 
• 
Unrelated – The AE is clearly NOT related to the study treatment. 
When a determination of possibly, probable or definite is used, the Investigator should also determine 
whether the suspected agent is ruxolitinib or enasidenib.  
16.4 DURATION 
For both AEs and SAEs, the Investigator will provide a record of the start and stop dates of the event. 
16.5 ACTION TAKEN 
The Investigator will report the action taken with IP as a result of an AE or SAE, as applicable (e.g., 
discontinuation, interruption of IP, as appropriate) and report if concomitant and/or additional 
treatments were given for the event. 
16.6 OUTCOME 
The Investigator will report the outcome of the event for both AEs and SAEs.  All SAEs that have not 
resolved upon discontinuation of the subject’s participation in the study must be followed until 
recovered (returned to baseline), recovered with sequelae, or death (due to the SAE). 
16.7 OVERDOSE 
Overdose, as defined for this protocol, refers to enasidenib and ruxolitinib dosing only (as applicable).   
On a per dose basis, an overdose is defined as the following amount over the protocol-specified dose of 
enasidenib and ruxolitinib assigned to a given patient, regardless of any associated adverse events or 
sequelae - PO any amount over the protocol-specified dose.  On a schedule or frequency basis, an 
overdose is defined as anything more frequent than the protocol required schedule or frequency.  .  
Complete data about drug administration, including any overdose, regardless of whether the overdose 
was accidental or intentional, should be reported.    
To date, doses of enasidenib up to 650 mg QD were well tolerated in clinical trials. No information is 
currently available regarding overdose with enasidenib. In the event of overdose with toxicity, 
supportive clinical care should be provided. 
16.8 ABNORMAL LABORATORY VALUES 
An abnormal laboratory value is considered to be an AE if the abnormality: 
• 
results in discontinuation from the study; 
• 
requires treatment, modification/ interruption of IP dose, or any other therapeutic 
intervention; or 
• 
is judged to be of significant clinical importance, e.g., one that indicates a new disease 
process and/or organ toxicity, or is an exacerbation or worsening of an existing condition. 
Regardless of severity grade, only laboratory abnormalities that fulfill a seriousness criterion need to 
be documented as a serious adverse event. 
If a laboratory abnormality is one component of a diagnosis or syndrome, then only the diagnosis or 
syndrome should be recorded on the AE page/screen of the CRF.  If the abnormality was not a part of 
a diagnosis or syndrome, then the laboratory abnormality should be recorded as the AE. If possible, the 
laboratory abnormality should be recorded as a medical term and not simply as an abnormal laboratory 
result (e.g., record thrombocytopenia rather than decreased platelet).

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR ADVERSE EVENTS 
All adverse events must be recorded in the subject's medical records and on the Case Report 
Form from the time the subject signs informed consent until 30 days after the last dose of IP and those 
SAEs made known to the investigator at any time thereafter that are suspected of being related to IP.  
The onset and end dates, severity, duration, effect on study drug administration (e.g. 
discontinuation), relationship to study drug, and administration of any other drug(s) to treat this 
event will be recorded for each adverse event. The BRANY Institutional Review Board is 
charged with the responsibility of reviewing and maintaining records of all Serious Adverse 
Events occurring in patients who are participating in BRANY IRB approved research trials at 
BRANY sites. All SAEs must be reported to Celgene Drug Safety within 24 hours of the Investigator’s 
knowledge of the event by facsimile, or other appropriate method, using the SAE Report Form, or 
approved equivalent form. 
17. 1 STEPS TO DETERMINE IF AN ADVERSE EVENT REQUIRES 
EXPEDITED REPORTING (WITHIN 24 HOURS) 
Step 1: Identify the type of adverse event using the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for 
Adverse Events version 5.0 (CTCAE).  
Step 2: Grade the adverse event using the NCI CTCAE v5.0. 
Step 3: Determine whether the adverse event is related to the protocol therapy  
Attribution categories are as follows: 
• 
Definite – The AE is clearly related to the study treatment. 
• 
Probable – The AE is likely related to the study treatment. 
• 
Possible – The AE may be related to the study treatment. 
• 
Unrelated – The AE is clearly NOT related to the study treatment. 
Note: This includes all events that occur within 30 days of the last dose of protocol 
treatment. Any event that occurs more than 30 days after the last dose of treatment and is 
attributed (possibly, probably, or definitely) to the agent(s) must also be reported 
accordingly. 
Step 4: Determine the prior experience of the adverse event.  
Expected events are those that have been previously identified as resulting from administration 
of the agent. An adverse event is considered unexpected, for expedited reporting purposes only, 
when either the type of event or the severity of the event is not listed in: 
• 
the current known adverse events listed in the Agent Information section of this protocol; 
• 
the drug package insert; 
• 
the current Investigator’s Brochure 
17.2 EXPEDITED REPORTING 
The Site must notify the Central Office and the local IRB within 24 hours of learning of any 
serious adverse events, regardless of attribution, occurring during the study or within 30 days 
of the last administration of the study drug.  A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) MEDWATCH 
form must be completed by the Investigator and emailed to the MPN-RC Central Office within 
24 hours of learning of the SAE.  The Site Investigator will print and keep a copy of this SAE 
form on file at the study site.  Report serious adverse events by phone, email, or facsimile to 
the Data Monitor and Clinical Trials Manager:

• 
CTCAE grade 
• 
The reason why the event is classified as serious 
• 
Investigator assessment of the association between the event and study treatment (if related 
or not and if expected or not) 
Within the following 48 hours, the Investigator must provide further information about the 
serious adverse event in the form of a written narrative. This should include an updated Serious 
Adverse Event form, and any other diagnostic information that will assist the understanding of 
the event.  Significant new information on ongoing serious adverse events should be provided 
promptly to the Study Sponsor.  
• 
The site must notify the central IRB, BRANY, within 5 business days of “any unanticipated 
problems involving risk to subjects or others” (UPR/UPIRSO).  Copies of each report and 
documentation of IRB notification and receipt will be kept in the Clinical Investigator’s 
binder. The IRB should only be notified of a SAE if it meets the definition of “possibly, 
probably or definitely” related to the study drug, and is an “unexpected” event. 
The following events meet the definition of UPR: 
o Any new information that indicates a new or increased risk, or safety issue 
(e.g., Interim Analysis, Safety Monitoring report, publication, updated Sponsor Safety 
report), that indicates an unexpected change to the risk/benefit ratio for the research. 
o An Investigator Brochure, package insert, or device labeling is revised to indicate an 
increase or magnitude of a previously known risk or describes a new risk.  
o Withdrawal, restriction, or modification of a marketed approval of a drug, device, or 
biologic used in research protocol 
o Protocol deviation or violation that harmed subjects or others or that indicated subjects 
or others might be at increased risk of harm. 
o Complaint of subject that indicates subjects or others might be at increased risk of harm 
or at risk of a new harm 
o Any breach in confidentiality that may involve risk to the subject or others. 
o Any harm experienced by a subject or other individual that in the opinion of the 
Investigator is unexpected and at least probably related to the research procedures. 
For IND/IDE trials: The Regulatory Agencies (FDA) should be notified within 7 business days 
of any unexpected fatal or life-threatening adverse event with possible relationship to study 
drug, and 15 business days of any event that is considered: 1) serious, 2) unexpected, and 3) at 
least possibly related to study participation.

The MPN-RC Data Center and Regulatory Coordinator will receive reports of SAEs through 
the Central Office. The MPN-RC as Study Sponsor shall notify the Regulatory Agencies by 
telephone or by facsimile transmission of any unexpected fatal or life-threatening experience 
associated with the use of the drug as soon as possible but no later than 7 calendar days from 
the Sponsor’s original receipt of the information(1-800-332-0178) of any unexpected fatal or 
life-threatening experience associated with the use of the drug as soon as possible but no later 
than 7 calendar days from the Sponsor’s original receipt of the information. All other 
unexpected, serious adverse events that are considered related to study treatment will be 
reported on a MedWatch form by the Study Sponsor to the Regulatory Agencies within 15 
calendar days.  If a previous adverse event that was not initially deemed reportable is later found 
to fit the criteria for reporting, the Study Sponsor will submit the adverse event in a written 
report to the FDA and Health Canada as soon as possible, but no later than 15 calendar days 
from the time the determination is made. 
17.3 REPORTING GUIDELINES FOR PHARMACEUTICAL PARTNER 
For the purpose of regulatory reporting, Celgene Drug Safety will determine the expectedness 
of events of being related to enasidenib based on the Investigator Brochure.  In the United 
States, all suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSARs) will be reported in an 
expedited manner in accordance with 21 CFR 312.32. 
Serious adverse events (SAE) are defined above.  The Central Office must inform Celgene in 
writing using a MEDWATCH 3500A form of any SAE within 24 hours of being aware of the 
event.  The written report must be completed and supplied to Celgene by facsimile within 24 
hours.  The initial report must be as complete as possible, including an assessment of the causal 
relationship between the event and the investigational product(s).  Information not available at 
the time of the initial report (e.g., an end date for the adverse event or laboratory values received 
after the report) must be documented on a follow-up report.  A final report to document 
resolution of the SAE is required.  The Celgene tracking number (XX-XX-XX- PI-#####) and 
the institutional protocol number should be included on SAE reports (or on the fax cover letter) 
sent to Celgene.  A copy of the fax transmission confirmation of the SAE report to Celgene 
should be attached to the SAE and retained with the patient records.

17.4 MPN-RC REPORTING OF SUSPECTED UNEXPECTED SERIOUS 
ADVERSE REACTIONS (SUSARS) TO REGULATORY BODIES AND 
ETHICS COMMITTEES 
All suspected adverse reactions related to an investigational medicinal product (the tested IMP) 
which occurs in the concerned trial, and that are both unexpected and serious (SUSARs) are 
subject to expedited reporting. These events should be reported by the individual investigators 
to the MPN-RC. 
17.5 MPN-RC REPORTING OF SUSARS 
MPN-RC, or designee, should report all the relevant safety information previously described to 
the concerned Regulatory Agencies. MPN-RC or designee shall inform all investigators 
concerned of relevant information about SUSARs that could adversely affect the safety of 
subjects. All SUSAR reports will also be reported to the FDA and Health Canada. 
17.6 TIMELINES FOR REPORTING 
Fatal or life-threatening SUSARs 
The MPN-RC should notify the Regulatory Agencies as soon as possible but no later than 7 
calendar days after the Sponsor has first knowledge of the minimum criteria for expedited 
reporting. In each case relevant follow-up information should be sought and a report completed 
as soon as possible.  
Non-fatal and non-life-threatening SUSARs 
All other SUSARs and safety issues must be reported to the Regulatory Agencies as soon as 
possible but no later than 15 calendar days after the Sponsor has first knowledge of the 
minimum criteria for expedited reporting. Further relevant follow-up information should be 
given as soon as possible. 
17.7 HOW TO REPORT SAFETY EVENTS 
Minimum criteria for initial expedited reporting of SUSARs 
Information on the final description and evaluation of an adverse reaction report may not be 
available within the required time frames for reporting. For regulatory purposes, initial 
expedited reports should be submitted by the Sponsor within the time limits as soon as the 
minimum following criteria are met: 
a. a suspected investigational medicinal product, 
b. an identifiable subject (e.g. study subject code number), 
c. an adverse event assessed as serious and unexpected, and for which there is a reasonable 
suspected causal relationship, 
d. an identifiable reporting source, and, when available and applicable: 
i. 
a unique clinical trial identification number or the Sponsor's trial protocol code 
number) 
ii. 
a unique case identification (i.e. Sponsor's case identification number). 
Follow-up reports of SUSARs 
In case of incomplete information at the time of initial reporting, all the appropriate information 
for an adequate analysis of causality should be actively sought from the reporter or other 
available sources. The Sponsor should report further relevant information after receipt of

18.3 RISKS TO SUBJECTS 
Adverse events listed in current investigational brochures research medications: 
Both ruxolitinib and enasidenib have known side effects profile in patients with myelofibrosis and AML 
respectively. Please refer to to the investigator brochures for detailed listings. 
Known potential side effects from Ruxolitinb in humans include the following:   
Hematologic: Anemia (72% to 96%; Grade 3: ≤34%; Grade 4: ≤ 11%), Thrombocytopenia (27% to 
70%; Grade 3: 5% to 9%; Grade 4: ≤4%), Neutropenia (3% to 19%; Grade 3: 5%; Grade 4: ≤2%) all of 
which are dose-related effects. 
Non-hematologic: Dizziness (15% to 18%), Headache (15% to 16%), Fatigue (15%), Insomnia (12%), 
Weakness (7%), Bruise (23%), Epistaxis (6%), Pruritus (14%), Increased serum cholesterol (17% to 
35%), Hypertriglyceridemia (15%). Diarrhea (15%), Abdominal pain (15%), Constipation (8%), 
Nausea (6%), Flatulence (5%), Vomiting. Increased serum ALT (25%; Grade 3: <1%), Increased serum 
AST (17% to 23%). Muscle spasm (12%); Weight gain (≤7%). Dyspnea (13%), Edema (8%), 
Hypertension (<6%). Infection including: Urinary tract infection (≤9%), Herpes zoster (2% to 6%), 
Nasopharyngitis (9%), Cough (8%).  
Known potential side effects from Enasidenib in humans include the following:   
Non-hematologic: IDH-DS (14%), Noninfectious leukocytosis (8.2%), TLS (5.5%), GI disturbances 
Nausea (50%), Diarrhea (43%), Decreased appetite (34%), Vomiting (34%), Dysgeusia (12%),

18.3.1  
REPRODUCTIVE RISKS 
Patients should not become pregnant or father a baby while on this study. Women should not 
breastfeed a baby while on this study. Females of childbearing potential must either commit to 
continued abstinence from heterosexual intercourse or begin TWO acceptable methods of birth 
control, one highly effective method and one additional effective method AT THE SAME TIME, at 
least 4 weeks before she starts taking study medications (enasidenib and ruxolitinib). Females of 
childbearing potential must also agree to ongoing pregnancy testing. Men must agree to use a condom 
during sexual contact with a female of child bearing potential even if they have had a successful 
vasectomy. All patients must be counseled at a minimum of every 28 days about pregnancy 
precautions and risks of fetal exposure.  
Pregnancies and suspected pregnancies (including a positive pregnancy test regardless of age or 
disease state) of a female subject occurring while the subject is on IP, or within (4 months), are 
considered immediately reportable events.  IP is to be discontinued immediately. The pregnancy, 
suspected pregnancy, or positive pregnancy test must be reported to Celgene Drug Safety 
immediately by facsimile, or other appropriate method, using the Pregnancy Initial Report Form, or 
approved equivalent form. The female subject may be referred to an obstetrician-gynecologist (not 
necessarily one with reproductive toxicity experience) or another appropriate healthcare 
professional for further evaluation. 
The Investigator will follow the female subject until completion of the pregnancy, and must notify 
Celgene Drug Safety immediately about the outcome of the pregnancy (either normal or abnormal 
outcome) using the Pregnancy Follow-up Report Form, or approved equivalent form.  
If the outcome of the pregnancy was abnormal (e.g., spontaneous or therapeutic abortion), the 
Investigator should report the abnormal outcome as an AE.  If the abnormal outcome meets any of 
the serious criteria, it must be reported as an SAE to Celgene Drug Safety immediately by facsimile, 
or other appropriate method, within 24 hours of the Investigator’s knowledge of the event using the 
SAE Report Form, or approved equivalent form. 
All neonatal deaths that occur within 28 days of birth should be reported, without regard to 
causality, as SAEs. In addition, any infant death after 28 days that the Investigator suspects is 
related to the in utero exposure to the IP should also be reported to Celgene Drug Safety 
immediately by facsimile, or other appropriate method, within 24 hours of the Investigator’s 
knowledge of the event using the SAE Report Form, or approved equivalent form.   
Male Subjects 
If a female partner of a male subject taking investigational product becomes pregnant while the 
male subject is on study treatment or within 4 months of the male subject’s last study treatment, the 
male subject taking IP should notify the Investigator, and the pregnant female partner should be 
advised to call their healthcare provider immediately. 
CORRELATIVES/ SPECIAL STUDIES 
Submission of samples for correlative studies is mandatory.  The correlative biomarker studies will 
evaluate a series of biomarkers at baseline (at study entry), and during treatment at each study visit, and 
either at the time of relapse/progression or at termination of study (that is off study drug for any reason). 
Please see Table 5 for various time points for collection of samples.

366480)  
• 
1-2 mL of bone marrow aspirate for Cytogenetics  
In the event that a biopsy does not produce aspirate, additional perpipheral blood samples must 
be sent for cytogenetic/FISH analysis.  
19.4 PERIPHERAL BLOOD: (USE STERILE TECHNIQUE) 
Peripheral blood samples will be collected at screening, and day 1 of Cycle 1-Cycle 7, every 3 cycles, 
and at the end of study, in conjunction with standard-of-care blood draws. The total amount to be 
collected should not exceed 25cc (approximately 5 teaspoons).   Peripheral blood samples must be 
shipped ambient on the day of collection.

25 mL of blood: three ACD (yellow top) tubes (BD catalogue number 364606; 
8.5 mL tubes) 
19.5 NAIL CLIPPINGS 
Two to ten nail clippings are to be obtained from each patient during the initial entry onto the protocol. 
Clippings are to be placed in a paper envelope and the envelope is to be sealed.   The sealed envelope 
maybe stored and shipped at room temperature. 
19.6 CYTOGENETIC ANALYSIS 
Diagnostic and follow up cytogenetics will be performed by local institutional laboratories.  All 
karyotypes will be centrally reviewed (see below).  Samples are to be sent for cytogenetic analysis at 
screening, at cycle 4 day1, cycle 7 day 1, cycle 10 day 1,  every 6 cycles thereafter, and at termination 
of study for any reason.  JPEG or TIFF images must be uploaded into the MPN-RC REDCap database 
for each cytogenetic assessment.  To ensure uniformity of cytogenetic preparations all participating 
local laboratories must adhere to the following requirements established by the central karyotype review 
co-Investigator (Dr. Vesna Najfeld).

GENERAL INCLUSION CRITERIA FOR CONVENTIONAL 
CYTOGENETICS 
1. Banding level 300 or more and structural aberrations are accepted at 400 or higher banding 
level or confirmed by FISH. 
2. Minimum requirements for baseline assessments:  From each patient, bone marrow (PV, 
ET) and or unstimulated PB (PMF) specimen must be set up into two, preferably three, 
different cultures (direct, 24 hrs. with and without marrow max media). Every effort should 
be made to obtain the growth of cells that are cytogenetically abnormal. 
3. 20 metaphase evaluated from two or more cell cultures or from marrow max culture only. 
4. Only G-banding of chromosomes is acceptable. Other banding methods are not acceptable. 
5. Analysis of cell at 300 band resolution, or low-quality banding, irrespective of the findings, 
to be complemented with FISH screening for subtle aberrations, including del(20)(q11q13) 
with D20S108 probe. 
6. ISCN 2009 must be used to describe the karyotype. 
7. Aberrations classified as clonal should be present in at least 2 cells by G-banding or 
confirmed by FISH. 
8. Unusual or novel findings should be fully characterized by FISH using appropriate probes. 
9. Three karyotypes (and metaphase cells) from each patient must be uploaded electronically 
into the MPN-RC REDCap database to document the stated cytogenetic diagnosis.  The 
karyotypes are uploaded either as TIFF or JPEG files. 
FISH studies, IF POSSIBLE and warranted in an individual case 
1. Case normal by G banding, if possible, ought to be screened for cryptic changes by 
interphase FISH using a MPN panel of 12 probes: CEP1(1q12)/1q21, 5p15.2/5q31(EGR1), 
CEP7/7q31, CEP8, CEP9/9p21, RB1 at 13q14, P53/CEP17, 20q12/D20S108. 
2. FISH studies are performed on BM or PB on interphase cells processed directly (no culture) 
using Abbott Molecular FISH probes. A minimum of 200 cells at baseline should be scored 
by two individuals. Image of FISH results should be uploaded as JPEG or TIFF file into 
the MPN-RC database. 
Central Karyotype Review: Vesna Najfeld, Ph.D., Director, Tumor Cytogenetics, Icahn 
School of Medicine, NY.  
One of the QC indicators is a proper entry and submission of cytogenetic forms and karyotypes 
by the institutional cytogenetic laboratories. If the local laboratory fails two consecutive 
specimens (poor quality of chromosome banding, missed abnormality, wrong ISCN 
nomenclature) or lack of entering cytogenetic results into MPN- RC, the laboratory will be 
informed, and the third failure will result in placing the local laboratory on probation and the 
institutional PI will be informed. If required, either the central lab in NY or other MPN-RC 
approved cytogenetic lab will perform the studies from the institution whose cytogenetic lab is 
placed on probation.

STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS 
STUDY DESIGN/STUDY ENDPOINTS  
This is a Phase II design to evaluate the efficacy of ruxolitinib and enasidenib combination therapy for 
accelerated or blast-phase MPN patients with IDH2 mutations.  The study will also include a descriptive 
cohort of up to 9 evaluable patients with chronic phase MPN and will utilize a Gehan design in this 
cohort.  This study will be the first time ruxolitinib and enasidenib will be used in combination for this 
patient population. Therefore, the safety of the combination will be confirmed in the first six patients

who are enrolled in the study. If no more than one patient out of the initial six has a treatment-related 
Grade 3 or higher adverse event attributable to the study drugs, the combination therapy will be 
considered safe.  If more than one patient out of the initial six has a limiting toxicity the trial will be 
suspended, and the safety data will be further reviewed. 
20.1 ACCELERATED / BLAST-PHASE COHORT 
Primary endpoint:  The primary endpoint of this study is best overall response, defined as partial 
response or better (CR+PR+Cri), and will be defined as the best response within 6 cyclesof combination 
therapy. All patients meeting the eligibility criteria who have signed a consent form and have begun 
treatment will be evaluable for response. Any evaluable patient not meeting the definition for response 
will be deemed as having a non- response. 
Design:  The largest overall response rate where the proposed combination treatment regimen would be 
considered ineffective in this patient population is 5%, and the smallest response rate that would warrant 
subsequent studies with the proposed regimen is 25%. This is based on retrospective analysis applying 
the 2013 IWG Response Criteria to patients treated with ruxolitinib1. A Simon’s two-stage minimax 
design will be employed to test the null hypothesis that the true overall response rate in this patient 
population is at most 5%. 
Decision Rule:  Enter 13 patients into the study. If 0 responses are observed in the first 13 patients 
(Stage 1), we may consider this regimen ineffective in the patient population and the trial will close due 
to a lack of efficacy.  If 1 or more responses are observed in the first 13 evaluable patients, we will 
proceed to Stage 2 and enroll an additional 7 patients onto the study for a total of 20 patients.  After 
completion of both stages, if 3 or more responses out of the 20 patients are observed, the combination 
therapy will be considered promising for further investigation.  
20.1.2  
POWER AND SIGNIFICANCE LEVEL / PRECISION 
Assuming that the number of overall response is binomially distributed, the significance level is <0.10 
and the probability of declaring that this regimen warrants further studies (i.e., statistical power) under 
various response proportions can be tabulated as a function of the true response proportion as shown in 
the following table.

20.2 CHRONIC MPN PHASE 
Primary endpoint:  The primary endpoint of this study is best overall response, defined as clinical 
improvement or better (CI+PR+CR) according to IWG-ELN criteria, and will be defined as the best 
response within 6 cycles of combination therapy. All patients meeting the eligibility criteria who have 
signed a consent form and have begun treatment will be evaluable for response. Any evaluable patient 
not meeting the definition for response will be deemed as having a non- response.

Design: Based on a Gehan design, observation of at least 1 response out of 9 evaluable patients would 
indicate activity in this cohort.  This design has 90% power if the true response rate is 25%.   
21. 
SAMPLE SIZE AND ACCRUAL 
The maximum sample size in the Phase II (accelerated/blast-phase) is 20 evaluable patients.  Allowing 
for enrollment of up to 2 additional patients as replacements for unevaluable patients (ineligibility, 
cancellation, major treatment violation, or other reasons) , this study will enroll a maximum of 22 
patients in the Phase II AP/BP cohort.  The maximum sample size in the chronic phase MPN is 9 
evaluable patients.  Allowing for enrollment of up to 1 additional patient as replacement for 
unevaluable patients, this study will enroll a maximum of 10 patients in the descriptive chronic phase 
MPN cohort.  Therefore, a maximum total of 32 (22 +10) patients will be enrolled in the trial. 
The anticipated accrual rate is approximately 2-3 patients per month. Therefore, the accrual period 
for this study is expected to be 15 months. The primary analysis can begin approximately 21 months 
after the trial begins, i.e., as soon as the last patient has been observed for 6 cycles.  
22. 
DATA ANALYSIS PLANS 
22.1 PRIMARY ENDPOINT 
Overall response rate (ORR):  The overall response rate will be estimated by the number of 
patients that attain a response (defined above per cohort) by 6 cycles of combination therapy 
divided by the total number of treated eligible patients. A two-sided 95% confidence interval 
for the true overall response rate will be calculated according the exact binomial method.  
22.2 SECONDARY ENDPOINTS 
To additionally assess the efficacy of the combination of ruxolitinib with enasidenib in patients 
with accelerated or blast-phase disease after 6 cycles of combined therapy using complete 
(CBR) or partial blast response (PBR).  CBR  and PBR will be defined according to Appendix 
A.  This will be calculated similarly to the primary endpoint for the MPN-AP/BP cohort. 
To assess the efficacy of the combination of ruxolitinib with enasidenib in patients with PMF, 
post-PV MF, or post-ET MF in chronic phase and 4-9% blasts as assessed by the modified 2013 
International Working Group (IWG) Response Criteria, after 6 months of combined therapy. 
This will be calculated similarly to the primary endpoint for the MPN-AP/BP cohort.  
Adverse events:  All eligible patients that have been initiated treatment will be included in the 
calculation of adverse event rate(s). The maximum grade for each type of adverse event will be 
tabulated for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine patterns. 
Additionally, the relationship of the adverse event(s) to the study treatment will be taken into 
consideration.  Adverse events will be summarized overall and by cohort.  
Overall Survival (OS) will be defined as the time from first treatment with the 
ruxolitinib/enasidenib combination to death by any cause. Patients will be considered censored 
at the last known date alive, if death is not documented. OS will be estimated using the Kaplan-
Meier method. 
22.3 EXPLORATORY/CORRELATIVE ENDPOINTS

changes from baseline will be described using frequencies and relative frequencies and assessed 
using McNemar’s tests as appropriate.  Biomarker associations with response (IWG/ELN 
and/or bone marrow) will be primarily descriptive in nature given the small sample size.

STUDY MANAGEMENT 
23.1 CONFLICT OF INTEREST 
Any research personnel who has a conflict of interest with this study (patent ownership, intellectual 
property, royalties, or financial gain greater than the minimum allowable by their institution, etc.) must 
declare their conflict of interest to the appropriate institutional review bodies. Local institutional conflict 
of interest policies will be followed for all research personnel associated with the research project.   
23.2 INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW BOARD (IRB) APPROVAL AND 
CONSENT 
It is expected that the IRB will have the proper representation and function in accordance with 
federally mandated regulations. The IRB must approve the consent form and protocol. 
In obtaining and documenting informed consent, the Investigator should comply with the applicable 
regulatory requirement(s) and should adhere to Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and to ethical principles 
that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki. 
Before recruitment and enrollment onto this study, the patient will be given a full explanation of the 
study and will be given the opportunity to review the consent form. Each consent form must include 
all the relevant elements currently required by the FDA Regulations and local or state regulations. 
Once this essential information has been provided to the patient and the Investigator is assured that 
the patient understands the implications of participating in the study, the patient will be asked to give 
consent to participate in the study by signing an IRB-approved consent form. 
Prior to a patient’s participation in the trial, the written informed consent form should be signed and 
personally dated by the patient and by the person who conducted the informed consent discussion. A 
copy of the signed consent form should be provided to the patient.

trials and they have no major financial or intellectual conflict of interest that would prevent them from 
objectively reviewing the interim data and providing advice to the Trials Steering Committees and the 
Clinical Advisory Group. They function independently of all other individuals, processes, and progress 
to ensure study integrity, monitor patient safety (providing quarterly safety reports), evaluate the results 
of interim analysis to assess efficacy, and make recommendations about protocol amendments and early 
termination to the Trials Steering Committees. The External Data Safety and Monitoring Board must 
meet at least two times a year. 
24.2 MEDICAL MONITORING 
It is the responsibility of the local institutional Principal Investigator to oversee the safety of the study 
at his/her site. This safety monitoring will include careful assessment and appropriate reporting of 
adverse events as noted above, as well as the construction and implementation of a site data and safety-
monitoring plan.  Medical monitoring will include a regular assessment of the number and type of 
serious adverse events. 
24.3 MONITORING PLAN AND PERIOD OF OBSERVATION 
The MPN-RC will monitor study progress on an on-going basis; this will include electronic and 
telephone correspondence between the central coordinating office and with individual investigators 
and/or their designees at other sites. 
The Sponsor or the Sponsor designees, “study monitors,” will monitor the study according to a 
predetermined monitoring plan (centrally and with on-site visits). The monitoring visit will provide the 
Sponsor with opportunity to: 
•

The study will be conducted in accordance with the International Conference on Harmonization 
(ICH) for Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and the appropriate regulatory requirement(s).  The 
Investigator should be thoroughly familiar with the appropriate use of the study drug as 
described in the protocol and Investigator’s Brochure.  Essential clinical documents should be 
maintained to demonstrate the validity of the study and the integrity of the data collected.  
Master files should be established at the beginning of the study, maintained for the duration of 
the study and retained according to the appropriate regulations. 
26.2 ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS 
This study is to be conducted according to US and international standards of Good Clinical 
Practice (FDA Title 21 part 312 and International Conference on Harmonization guidelines), 
applicable government regulations and Institutional research policies and procedures. 
This protocol and any amendments should be submitted to a properly constituted independent 
EC or IRB, in agreement with local legal prescriptions, for formal approval of the study 
conduct.  The decision of the EC/IRB concerning the conduct of the study should be made in 
writing to the Investigator and a copy of this decision should be provided to the MPN-RC 
Central Office before commencement of this study.  The Investigator should provide a list of 
EC/IRB members and their affiliate to the MPN-RC Central Office. 
All subjects for this study will be provided a consent form describing this study and providing 
sufficient information for subjects to make an informed decision about their participation in this 
study.  This consent form should be submitted with the protocol for review and approval by the 
EC/IRB for the study.  The consent of a subject, using the EC/IRB-approved consent form, 
must be obtained before a subject is allowed to participate.  This consent form must be signed 
by the subject or legally acceptable surrogate, and the Investigator obtaining the consent. 
26.3 PATIENT INFORMATION AND INFORMED CONSENT 
After the study has been fully explained, written informed consent should be obtained from 
either the patient or his/her guardian or legal representative prior to study participation. The 
method of obtaining and documenting the informed consent and the contents of the consent 
should comply with ICH-GCP and all applicable regulatory requirement(s). 
26.4 PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITY 
Information about study subjects should be kept confidential and managed according to the 
requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).  
Those regulations require a signed subject authorization informing the subject of the following: 
• 
What protected health information (PHI) will be collected from subjects in this study 
• 
Who will have access to that information and why 
• 
Who will use or disclose that information 
The patient has the right to revoke their authorization for use of their PHI. In the event that a 
subject revokes authorization to collect or use PHI, the Investigator, by regulation, retains the 
ability to use all information collected prior to the revocation of subject authorization.  For 
subjects that have revoked authorization to collect or use PHI, attempts should be made to 
obtain permission to collect at least vital status (i.e. that the subject is alive) at the end of their 
scheduled study period.

Accountability for the study drug at all study sites is the responsibility of the site Principal 
Investigator.  The responsible Investigator at each participating center will ensure that the study 
drug is used only in accordance with this protocol, drug accountability records indicating the 
drug’s delivery date to the site, inventory at the site, use by each patient, and return.  
Accountability records will include dates, quantities, lot numbers, expiration dates (if 
applicable), and patient numbers. Conditions of the excursion will be evaluated on a case by 
case basis and a memo indicating continued use or discontinuation of the drug product involved 
will be communicated. 
26.8 SOURCE DOCUMENTS 
Source data includes all information, original records of clinical findings, observations, or other 
activities in a clinical trial necessary for the reconstruction and evaluation of the trial. Source 
data are contained in source documents. Examples of these original documents, and data records 
include: hospital records, clinical and office charts, laboratory notes, memoranda, subjects’ 
diaries or evaluation checklists, pharmacy dispensing records, recorded data from automated 
instruments, copies or transcriptions certified after verification as being accurate and complete, 
microfiches, photographic negatives, microfilm or  magnetic  media, x-rays,  subject files, and 
records kept at the pharmacy, at the laboratories, and at medico-technical departments involved

26.10 PREMATURE CLOSURE OF THE STUDY 
This study may be prematurely terminated, if in the opinion of the MPN-RC Trial Steering 
Committee there is sufficient reasonable cause. Written notification documenting the reason 
for study termination will be provided to the Investigator by the terminating party. 
Circumstances that may warrant termination include, but are not limited to: 
• 
Determination of unexpected, significant, or unacceptable risk to patients 
• 
Failure to enter patients at an acceptable rate 
• 
Insufficient adherence to protocol requirements 
• 
Insufficient complete and/or evaluable data 
• 
Plans to modify, suspend or discontinue the development of the study drug 
26.11 RECORD RETENTION 
It is the Investigator’s responsibility to retain study essential documents for at least 2 years after 
the last approval of a marketing application in their country and until there are no pending or 
contemplated marketing applications in their country or at least 2 years have elapsed since the 
formal discontinuation of clinical development of the investigational product.  These 
documents must be retained at least 2 years following completion of the last follow-up on 
patients on active study.  These documents should be retained for a longer period if required by 
an agreement with the Sponsor.  In such an instance, it is the responsibility of the Sponsor to 
inform the Investigator/institution as to when these documents no longer need to be retained. 
26.12 DATA MANAGEMENT 
Study data will be recorded and managed using the Research Electronic Data Capture 
(REDCap) system developed by Vanderbilt University.  Research Electronic Data Capture is a 
secure, web-based application designed to support data capture for research studies, 
providing:1) an intuitive interface for validated data entry; 2) audit trails for tracking data 
manipulation and export procedures; 3) automated export procedures for seamless data 
downloads to common statistical packages; and 4) procedures for importing data from external 
sources.   
After IRB approval and site training, REDCap database access will be given to approved and 
trained individuals at each site.  Each user will have a unique username/password assigned by 
the REDCap administrator at Mayo Clinic (where the MPN-RC Statistical and Data Center 
Core is located).  
26.13 QUALITY ASSURANCE 
Weekly registration reports will be generated to monitor patient accruals and completeness of 
registration data. Routine data quality reports will be generated to assess missing data and 
inconsistencies. Accrual rates and extent and accuracy of evaluations and follow-up will be monitored 
periodically throughout the study period and potential problems will be brought to the attention of the

study team for discussion and action. Monthly teleconferences including the Principal Investigators 
and/or their designees from all sites will be held to expedite the reviews of toxicity and efficacy data. 
27. WITHDRAWAL OF SUBJECTS 
Treatment with study drugs is to be discontinued when any of the following occurs: 
• 
Lack of any response by 6 cycles of combined enasidenib and ruxolitinib therapy (any effort should 
be made to provide therapy to the patient in a safe way for at least 3-6 cycles for proper assessment 
of potential efficacy). 
• 
Adverse event(s) that, in the judgment of the Investigator, may cause severe or permanent harm or 
which rule out continuation of study drug 
• 
Withdrawal of consent 
• 
Lost to follow up 
• 
Toxicity requiring dose modification/treatment suspension, without recovery to baseline, in a 
patient with less than a CRi 
• 
Death 
 
The patient will have an end of study visit at 30 days after discontinuation of the protocol treatment 
±7 days to assess for AEs. 
28. 
BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY 
 
One of the risks is release of information from health or research records in a way that violates privacy 
rights. The investigators will protect records so that name, address, phone number, and any other 
information that identifies the participant will be kept private. It will be stated to the participant that the 
chance that this information will be given to an unauthorized individual without the participant’s 
permission is very small. 
29. 
POTENTIAL BENEFITS TO SUBJECTS 
We hypothesize that the combination of ruxolitinib and enasidenib in patients with MPN both in 
accelerate/blasts-phase as well as with high risk chronic phase myelofibrosis with an IDH2 mutation will 
improve the overall clinical response to therapy including complete response, partial response, complete and 
partial blasts response, symptomatic improvement and improvement in quality of  life. 
30. 
SHARING OF RESULTS WITH SUBJECTS 
Results of tests performed during the study will be shared with the subject. Results of biomarker 
correlates will not be shared.  
31. 
PRIOR APPROVALS 
Approval to commence research will be obtained initially at Mount Sinai through the usual protocol 
approval pathway including the Disease Focus Group, Resource Allocation and Evaluation, Protocol 
Review and Monitoring Committees. Once this is complete, the protocol will be submitted for an IND 
to the Food and Drug Administration.  The IND-approved protocol will then be submitted to the central 
SMART IRB (BRANY) for ethical and regulatory evaluation.  Once this is IRB approved the final 
contract (with budget) will be executed and a Site Initiation Visit (SIV) will be scheduled. This will 
then allow for Mount Sinai to activate the protocol and start enrollment. The BRANY approved protocol 
will be concurrently submitted for internal review at the other MPN-RC participating sites. SIVs will

be scheduled at each site once the protocol is approved locally. This will be coordinated throughout the 
MPN-RC central office within Project 4.  
32. 
ECONOMIC BURDEN TO SUBJECTS 
There will be no additional costs to the subject to participate in the study beside the standard of care 
costs. Research related per patient costs will be covered by the MPN-RC and will be determined by 
Medicare Analysis review (MCA).   
33. 
CONSENT PROCESS 
Before protocol-specified procedures are carried out, consenting professionals will explain full details 
of the protocol and study procedures as well as the risks involved to participants prior to their inclusion 
in the study. Participants will also be informed that they are free to withdraw from the study at any time. 
All participants must sign an IRB/PB-approved consent form indicating their consent to participate. 
This consent form meets the requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations and the Institutional 
Review Board/Privacy Board of each site. The consent form will include the following:  
1. The nature and objectives, potential risks and benefits of the intended study.  
2. The length of study and the likely follow-up required. 
3. Alternatives to the proposed study. (This will include available standard and investigational 
therapies. In addition, patients will be offered an option of supportive care for therapeutic studies.) 
4. The name of the Investigator(s) responsible for the protocol. 
5. The right of the participant to accept or refuse study interventions/interactions and to withdraw from 
participation at any time.  
Before any protocol-specific procedures can be carried out, the consenting professional will fully 
explain the aspects of patient privacy concerning research specific information.   
Each participant and consenting professional will sign the consent form. The participant must receive a 
copy of the signed informed consent form. The consent process should be documented in the patients’ 
medical records.

34.4 APPENDIX D:  GUIDANCE IDH-INHIBITOR DIFFERENTIATION 
SYNDROME (IDH-DS) GUIDANCE FOR MANAGEMENT OF 
DIFFERENTIATION SYNDROME IN SUBJECTS WITH HEMATOLOGIC 
MALIGNANCIES TREATEDWITH IDH-INHIBITORS 
The participating investigators/health care professionals are responsible for the appropriate 
evaluation and management of the safety related issues in subjects enrolled in the study. The 
approach outlined below for identifying and managing Differentiation Syndrome in patients 
treated with IDH inhibitors should be considered as guidance and therefore management of 
each case should be individualized, as appropriate. 
Introduction to IDH inhibitors Differentiation Syndrome  
The isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation, found in up to 15% of subjects with AML36,37, leads to 
excess accumulation of 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) that causes inhibition of dioxygenase dependent 
enzymes responsible for demethylation of DNA and histones, and consequently resulting in impaired 
bone marrow differentiation39,40. 
Direct inhibition of mutated protein activity by IDH inhibitor is intended to block abnormal production 
of the oncogenic metabolite 2-HG and impact clinical outcome through a variety of mechanisms that 
include restoration of differentiation of the malignant cells. 
In patients with hematologic malignancies, initiation of treatment with the differentiating agents, such 
as IDH inhibitors, and associated maturation of aberrant bone marrow, may alter the balance of the 
expression of adhesion molecules and chemoattractants (cytokines) that could mediate tissue infiltration 
by maturing blood cells44, associated with signs and symptoms of Differentiation Syndrome (DS).  
Signs and symptoms could include fever, dyspnea, edema/ weight gain, increased serum creatinine and, 
in some cases, clinical features consistent with the acute respiratory distress syndrome with associated 
bilateral pulmonary infiltrates, and pulmonary or pericardial effusions. Increases in white blood cell 
(WBC) count concurrent to DS has been observed, but by itself do not substantiate the syndrome.   
There is no pathognomonic clinical sign or laboratory test to diagnose DS. In some instances, clinical 
presentation of DScan be confounded by other medical condition(s), such as concurrent infections or 
heart failure. Consequently, diagnosis of DS is made by excluding other potential causes, rather than 
based on a specific set of signs and symptoms.  
To improve diagnostic and treatment practices for management of DS associated with treatment with 
IDH-inhibitors (IDH DS), data for adverse events meeting diagnostic criteria for DS will be reviewed 
and assessed by a Differentiation Syndrome Review Committee. 
Clinical Assessment of Subjects for signs and symptoms of IDH-inhibitors differentiation 
syndrome  
Due to the heterogeneity of clinical symptoms and differences in adverse events reporting practices 
(e.g., symptoms of suspected IDH DS reported in place of DS diagnosis), exact incidence of 
Differentiation Syndrome in subjects treated with IDH-inhibitors has not been determined. In the 
clinical trial conducted for Idhifa’s approval, at least 14 percent of patients experienced differentiation 
syndrome 
As it has been reported by the Study Investigators, IDH DS is more likely to manifest within 10 days to 
5 months after the start of treatment, or after re-initiation of the study drug following prolonged 
treatment interruption (e.g., >3 weeks) in subjects who are not in complete remission.  In some cases, 
symptoms re-appeared after cessation of treatment for the initial manifestation of IDH DS. 
Signs and Symptoms 
In clinical trials with IDH inhibitors, DS has been described in two categories of severity:

Severe IDH-Differentiation Syndrome  
Based on presence of any of the below listed factors, with, or without symptoms of moderate severity 
IDH DS  
• 
New or worsened progressive dyspnea; hypoxia with increasing demands for supplemental oxygen; 
respiratory distress, without definitive etiology or refractory to treatment for the initially suspected 
cause  
• 
Radiologic evidence of new or worsened bilateral pulmonary involvement (infiltrates or opacities) 
with or without presence of infection, refractory to treatment with anti-infectives (antibiotics, 
antivirals, antifungals) that was not attributed to another cause 
• 
Radiologic evidence of new or worsened pleural or pericardial effusion that has no definitive 
etiology or is refractory to treatment for the initially suspected cause. 
Moderate Severity IDH Differentiation Syndrome  
Based on presence of at least 2 of the below listed factors, in absence of signs of severe IDH DS 
• 
Unexplained fever ≥38○C (100.4○F)  
• 
New or worsened peripheral edema without definitive etiology, or rapid weight gain (e.g., > 5 kg/11 
pounds) 
• 
Rash of unknown origin 
• 
New or worsened bone pain or arthralgia without other clear etiology 
• 
Lymphadenopathy  
• 
Increase in serum creatinine (e.g., >2-fold from baseline) 
Conditions that may co-occur with differentiation syndrome 
• 
Commonly co-occur: Leukocytosis in the absence of an infectious process 
• 
Infrequently co-occur: Laboratory Tumor Lysis Syndrome (TLS), or TLS associated with increased 
serum creatinine level, in settings of rapidly increasing blood cell count (leukocytosis) 
• 
Rarely co-occur: Coagulopathy in the setting of increased blood cell count  
Management of subjects with suspected IDH inhibitors-differentiation syndrome  
Conditions consistent with signs and symptoms of IDH DS but refractory to treatment for the initially 
suspected cause(s), or that worsen within the first 48 hours after treatment initiation, should be managed 
as potential IDH DS. 
It is recommended that the measures indicated below are undertaken at the earliest manifestations of 
suspected IDH DS. 
• 
Patients with severe or rapidly progressing IDH DS should be hospitalized for continued 
observation 
• 
In case of uncertainty with the diagnosis, e.g. presence of less specific symptoms of moderate 
severity IDH DS, patients should be closely monitored, as condition may rapidly exacerbate 
• 
Corticosteroids should be promptly initiated at a suggested dose 10 mg of dexamethasone IV every 
12 hours until complete resolution of IDH DS, after which the dose can be progressively reduced 
in the next few days or weeks 
• 
The study drug may be withheld at the investigator’s discretion. Due to long half-life of the 
IDH-inhibitors, treatment interruption may not immediately reverse symptoms of IDH DS.  
Potential for drug-drug interaction between IDH inhibitor and treatments initiated for management 
of IDH DS should be considered, when making decisions about study drug treatment interruption.  
If interrupted, study drug treatment may be reinitiated at the original or reduced dose once the signs 
and symptoms resolve and the subject’s clinical condition improves.

• 
If renal dysfunction or severe pulmonary symptoms requiring intubation or ventilator support 
persist for more than 48 hours after initiation of systemic corticosteroids, interrupt enasidenib 
treatment until signs and symptoms are no longer severe 
• 
In subjects with elevated WBC, prompt initiation of hydroxyurea is suggested, as per standard local 
practices (e.g., dose of 2 to 3g PO twice or three times daily for WBC >30x109/L) 
• 
In cases of severe leukocytosis, use of leukapheresis may be appropriate 
• 
For substantial fluid accumulation, initiation of furosemide may be appropriate, as per local 
standard practice 
• 
Pericardial effusion - a less common symptom of IDH DS - can be life threatening condition 
requiring urgent intervention 
• 
Subjects with increasing serum creatinine levels should be evaluated for TLS 
• 
Subjects experiencing rapid increase in peripheral blood cells should be monitored for disseminated 
intravascular coagulopathy and hemorrhages 
• 
Imaging techniques such as standard or high-resolution CT or chest X-ray are useful in establishing 
a diagnosis of IDH DS. However, chest X-ray is less sensitive in detecting early radiological signs 
of IDH DS associated changes. 
Immediate communication with the Study Co-Chairs is encouraged for guidance regarding treatment.

SUMMARY OF THIS RESEARCH STUDY:
In medicine, there are many unanswered questions. A “research study” is when scientists try to answer 
a question about something that we don’t know enough about.  Participation in a research study may 
or may not directly help you or others. Participation is entirely voluntary. It is completely up to you 
whether or not you take part. You can also change your mind at any time and it will not affect your ability 
to get medical care within the Mount Sinai Health System  
The purpose of this research study is to test the effectiveness and safety of Enasidenib when used in 
combination with the standard of care drug Ruxolitinib and to find out how well it works in patients with 
either accelerated or blast phase myeloproliferative neoplasm or high risk Chronic-phase myelofibrosis 
and who have an IDH2 mutation. 
Myelofibrosis occurs when an enzyme called Janus Kinases (JAKs) affects the ability of blood stem 
cells to form the normal amounts of red and white blood cells and platelets. It is believed that overactive 
JAK signaling (with or without a JAK mutation) affects the normal production of blood stem cells from 
bone marrow. Blood stem cells are formed in the bone marrow.  The bone marrow of patients with 
myelofibrosis and MPN is extensively scarred because mutated blood stem cells produce mature cells 
that grow too quickly and take over the bone marrow. Scar tissue in the bone marrow affects the body’s 
ability to produce a normal level of blood cells.  People who have accelerated phase MPN or 
myelofibrosis have too few red blood cells and frequently have an enlarged spleen.  The spleen is often 
enlarged because blood cell production may have moved from bone marrow to the spleen. 
Standard treatment for people with myelofibrosis is Ruxolitinib.  Ruxolitinib is a treatment that targets 
JAK signaling. Ruxolitinib works by reducing the overactive signaling of the JAK to keep the production 
of blood cells controlled.  
Many patients who have myeloproliferative diseases have an IDH2 mutation.  Research indicates that 
MPN patients with the IDH mutation have a higher risk of their MPN transforming to acute leukemia.

Enasidenib is an FDA approved drug for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory acute 
myeloid leukemia who have an IDH2 gene mutation. Enasidenib works by inhibiting the IDH2, reducing 
the levels of its product and helping your bone marrow grow normal mature blood cells.  
This study proposes that the combination of these two drugs in patients who have MPN and an IDH2 
mutation will improve the response to therapy. While many patients have received each of these drugs 
separately, they have not been given together before. 
Response to the combination of these two drugs will be measured based upon by a reduction of scar 
tissue forming in bone marrow, blood cell levels, reduction of spleen and liver size, recovery of blood 
cell formation in bone marrow, increase in quality of life, and reduction of other symptoms associated 
with MPN.  
Safety of this study will be measured by collecting data on side effects you may or may not experience.  
Possible side effects are detailed in another section of this document.
You are being asked to participate in this study because you have either a Myeloproliferative Neoplasm 
(MPN) in accelerate or blast phase or previously treated high-risk Chronic-phase myelofibrosis.  If not 
already known, you will be tested to see if you have the IDH2 mutation to determine if you qualify for 
participation. 
If you choose to participate, your participation will be as follow. Each cycle is 28 days.  Participation 
may last for  6 cycles and continue for further cycles until you no longer respond to the study regimen, 
have a side effect that prevents you from continuing the study regimen, you decide to no longer 
participate, or indefinitely if you have a good response to the study regimen.  
Visits during the first two cycles will be weekly and then will be every 4 weeks from cycle 3 and beyond. 
Visits will include lab work, ECG’s, physical exam, and the collection of blood and bone marrow 
samples.  During your participation in this study, you will be asked to maintain a drug diary, take surveys 
that will tell us about how you are doing and provide information about any side effects you may 
experience. At the end of your study participation, another visit is required after 30 days to see if you 
have any lingering side effects. 
The main risks to you if you choose to participate are abnormal blood counts, bleeding and bruising, 
dizziness, headache, urinary tract infections, weight gain, gas, shingles, increased blood pressure, 
constipation, other infections (including Tuberculosis), nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, loss of 
taste, abnormal labs, fast or chaotic heartbeats, and differentiation syndrome (IDH-DS), and possible 
death.  Differentiation Syndrome is a side effect of Enasidenib. IDH-DS is condition that affects your 
blood cells and should be treated immediately.  Symptoms of IDH-DS include fever, cough, shortness 
of breath, rapid weight gain (more than 10 pounds in a week), swelling in the arms, legs, neck, groin, 
or underarms, and bone pain. There is more detailed risk information later in this consent. 
REPRODUCTIVE RISKS 
If you are a woman who is pregnant or planning to get pregnant, you cannot take part in this study 
because we do not know how the study regimen might affect a developing fetus. We will do a pregnancy 
test before you start the study regimen to make sure you are not pregnant.

CONCERNS FOR SEXUALLY ACTIVE MEN AND WOMEN: Women should not become pregnant and 
men should not father a baby while taking part in this study because we do not know how the study 
regimen/ procedures could affect a man's sperm (for some regimens/procedures, the concern may be 
that the sperm might be affected and in some cases, could be carried by the semen into the vagina and 
cause harm) or a fetus, if a woman becomes pregnant during the study.

PARTICIPATION IN THIS RESEARCH STUDY:
This research study will be fully explained to you by a member of the study team. Feel free to ask all 
the questions you want before you make a decision about whether or not to participate.  Any new 
information that develops during this research study that might make you change your mind about 
participating will be given to you promptly.
You may qualify to take part in this research study because you have an IDH2 gene mutation and you 
have a diagnosis of one of the following: accelerated-phase myelofibrosis, blast phase myelofibrosis or 
chronic phase myelofibrosis with high-risk features. Myelofibrosis (MF) is an uncommon type of 
leukemia that affects your body’s normal production of blood cells.  The production of blood cells 
normally occurs in your body’s bone marrow, however, people with MF’s bone marrow is often scarred 
which leads to a lack of red blood cells which result in anemia, weakness, fatigue and an enlarged 
spleen.  A gene mutation named JAK2 is thought to be the reason why people develop myelofibrosis.

LENGTH OF TIME AND NUMBER OF PEOPLE EXPECTED TO PARTICIPATE:
Your participation in this research study is expected to last at least six months unless you have a bad 
reaction to the study drug. If you respond well, then you can remain on the study regimen until either 
you decide you want to stop, or the physician decides that it is no longer safe or effective for you to 
receive the study drug, or the study closes.  
  
The number of people expected to take part in this research study at this site, the Icahn School of 
Medicine at Mount Sinai is 7. This study will also be conducted at 9 other sites. The total number of 
people expected to take part in this multi-site research study is 32.
DESCRIPTION OF WHAT’S INVOLVED:
If you agree to participate in this research study, the following information describes what may be 
involved.
No procedures may take place until you have agreed to participate in this study and signed this form. 
All procedures will take place at Ruttenberg Cancer Center unless otherwise specified.  
Screening:
•
Medical History and Physical Exam: A complete history and physical exam and manual 
measurement (in cm) of your liver and spleen, if palpable.  Your study doctor will ask you a series 
of questions. He or she will use a stethoscope (a device placed on your skin to allow the doctor to 
hear inside your body) to listen to your heart, lungs, and belly.  He or she will feel your entire body, 
including your neck, trunk, arms, and legs. 
•
Measurements of your vital signs: heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, temperature, weight, 
and height. 
•
You will be asked to provide information about your age, race, gender, and ethnicity.
•
You will be asked to provide information about your prior medical history including all active 
conditions and conditions you have been told you have within the last 10 years.  You will also be 
asked to provide information about what treatment, if any you have had for these conditions.
•
Current medications will also be reviewed.  It is important that you tell your study doctor about any 
medications you are currently taking or have taken within the last 30 days.  Please tell your study 
doctor about all medications including over-the-counter medications, vitamins, herbal medications, 
and alternative medicines. You may need to stop some of your medicines in order to be able to take 
part in this study. 
•
You will be asked about any transfusion history you have had within the last 3 months. 
•
Bone marrow aspiration/biopsy/cytogenetics/molecular genetic profiling.  Bone marrow aspiration, 
also called bone marrow sampling, is the removal be suction (through a needle placed into the bone) 
of fluid from the soft, spongy materials that lines the inside of most bones (marrow).  (Approx. 1 ½ 
tsp).  During a bone marrow aspiration/biopsy, an area of the hip is numbed and a needle is placed 
through the skin and into the hip bone. A small sample of the bone marrow and bone is withdrawn.  
The bone marrow will be examined to see if it is abnormal.  (If you have had a bone marrow biopsy 
within the last 90 days and we are able to get the results, you will not have to repeat one at

screening.) Your genes are in the cells of your body.  Genes make you different from anyone else.  
Some genes are responsible for inherited traits like hair and eye color.  Some genes affect the 
chances that a person will get a certain disease or how their body responds to drugs.  The purpose 
of testing for specific molecular profiling is to determine if you qualify for this research.  The bone 
marrow testing is normally done for patients with MPN. 
•
Blood samples (approximately 9 tsp blood) will be drawn from your vein for clinical and research 
purposes
•
Urine will be collected for standard of care urinalysis 
•
Pregnancy test (1 tsp of blood): Serum HCG for women of childbearing potential.  Women will not 
be allowed to participate if they are pregnant or nursing. 
•
Both men and women who are able to have children must agree to use 2 effective forms of birth 
control (hormonal or barrier method of birth control, or abstinence) from the time of screening 
through their participation in the study. 
•
Spleen volume assessment by Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging 
(MRI). 
•
Electrocardiogram (ECG): will be done to measure the electrical activity of your heart.  For this test, 
you will be asked to lie down while 12 sticky pads are applied to each of your arms, legs, and to 
your chest.  The ECG will last about five minutes. The ECG is being done for research purposes. 
•
Cardiac function assessment for research purposes will be done by having an ECHO or MUGA 
scan. 
•
Nail clippings: 2 clippings will only be gathered once (at screening visit) for research. Your nail 
clippings will provide normal material, like DNA, for comparison with the abnormal material from 
your blood and/or bone marrow.
If the screening exams, tests, and procedures show that you can continue in the study, and you choose 
to take part, then you will need the following tests and procedures during the study period outlined 
below. 
You are to start the first day of the study within 30 days of completing the screening procedures.  For 
the first two cycles that you are on the study, you will return to the clinical at least once a week for tests 
and to be seen by your study doctor.  You will be given study drugs and a drug diary at the beginning 
of each cycle. Each cycle is 28 days.  During these visits, do not forget to tell your study doctor if you 
start taking any new medicines, feel unwell or want to stop participation in this study for any reason. 
After the first two cycles, you will come in for visits once a month until you stop the study regimen for 
whatever reason.  A mandatory safety follow up visit will be done within 30 days after the end of the 
study regimen or before you start a new regimen, whichever comes first. 
Your study medications are both taken orally at home every day unless you are being seen in the clinic 
for a study visit.  If you are being seen in the clinic for a study visit, you will need to bring the study drugs 
with you to take in the clinic. You should fast 2 hours before and 1 hour after taking Enasidenib.  You 
do not need to fast when taking Ruxolitinib and you may take it at the same time you take Enasidenib.

Survival Follow Up
After your End of Study visit, you will be asked to continue follow-up with your study doctor or the 
study coordinator every 3 months for up to 1-year. This period may be conducted by record review 
(including public records) and/or telephone contact with you, your family, or your treating physician (if 
appropriate). During the follow up, your doctor or the study coordinator will collect further data related 
to your health, for example, if you are taking any therapies following the clinical trial for your MPN-
associated disease. 
Early Termination Visit: 
If you are withdrawn from the study, or choose to withdraw from the study, you will be required to meet 
with your study doctor for a final evaluation of your symptoms and general health. The procedures will 
be the same at the End of Study Visit procedures.
Because this project involves the use of medications, it is necessary that we make a note of your 
participation in the electronic medical record. That way anyone treating you will be aware of your 
participation and may be able to avoid any unfortunate outcomes that could arise if your research 
participation were unknown.

For Women:
Since you are participating in a research study that involves drugs or an experimental regimen with 
potential risks to a developing fetus, it is recommended, for your protection, that you not become 
pregnant for the duration of the study and for at least 4 months after the study. You should not participate 
if you are breastfeeding. You will be counseled on the risks of becoming pregnant at least once every 
28 days about pregnancy precautions and risks of fetal exposure. 
A blood pregnancy test will be done before you begin the study and will be repeated weekly for cycles 
1 and 2, then will be repeated at the beginning of each study cycle. Women of child bearing potential 
(WCBP), must have a negative serum (blood) pregnancy test at each of these tests and must 
agree to use adequate methods of birth control throughout the study. Therefore, practicing two forms 
of effective birth control at the same time is important at least 4 weeks before you begin taking the study 
medications and for 4 months after you stop taking Enasidenib and Ruxolitinib. No individual birth 
control is 100% effective. 
Recommended methods of birth control are:
•
The consistent use of an approved hormonal birth control (pill/patches, rings), 
•
An intrauterine device (IUD), 
•
Contraceptive injection (Depo-Provera), 
•
Double barrier methods (Diaphragm with spermicidal gel or condoms with contraceptive foam), 
•
Sexual abstinence (no sexual intercourse) or 
•
Sterilization.
If you are unsure whether the method of birth control you use is acceptable to use while participating in 
this study, you should ask your study doctor before you begin the study. If you are less than one year 
post-menopausal, there is the potential that you could become pregnant. If you or your partner becomes 
pregnant, or may be pregnant, at any time during the trial and up to 4 months after you stop taking the 
study drugs, it is important that you tell your study doctor immediately. The trial drug may be stopped, 
and a referral may be made to an obstetrician/gynecologist for follow-up. If you plan to become pregnant 
in the year following a clinical trial, speak with your study doctor. 
Should you become pregnant, regardless of the outcome, the sponsor may ask for information on your 
pregnancy, even if you are withdrawn from the study, your written consent will be obtained separately 
in the case that this happens.
For Men:
Since you are participating in a study that involves experimental drugs or an experimental regimen with 
potential risks to a developing fetus, it is you must use a condom and not impregnate a woman or donate 
sperm while you are taking the study drug, and for an additional 4 months after you stop taking the 
study This is because levels of the study drug may be present in the sperm and/or seminal fluid even 
after you stop taking the study drug. You are encouraged to tell your female partner(s) and/or their 
doctor(s) that you are participating in a clinical trial.

Should a female partner of yours become pregnant while you are on the study regimen or in the 4 
months following the study regimen, you should notify the study doctor, and the pregnant female partner 
should be advised to call her healthcare provider immediately.
Clinically Relevant Research Results
Results of clinical tests performed during the study will be shared with the subject. Results of 
biomarker testing done on blood/tissues collected for research purposes will not be shared. 
USE OF YOUR DATA AND/OR SPECIMENS:
Your participation in genetic testing is a mandatory part of this study and may help to better understand 
which MF patients may benefit from the study drug in the future. If you do not want to participate in the 
genetic testing part of this study, then you cannot participate in this study.
Segments of the DNA called genes are responsible for passing particular traits such as eye color from 
parents to children. The genes which pass along your traits direct cells in your body to make proteins.  
Your genes are in the cells in your body. Genes make you different from anyone else. Some genes are 
responsible for inherited traits like hair and eye color. Some genes affect the chances that a person will 
get a certain disease or how their body responds to drugs.  The research on your biospecimens 
will/might include whole genome sequencing, which is genetic testing that looks at all of your genes 
(DNA). This study is being done to help researchers understand why people may react differently to the 
study drug and how the body uses the study drug.
The researchers would like to ask your permission to keep the data and specimens (like blood, tissue, 
hair, or any other body matter) collected from you during this study to use them in future research 
studies. Please tell us how we may use this material in future research studies. You should also know 
that it is possible that products may someday be developed with the help of your specimens and data, 
and there are no plans to share any profits from such products with you.
Some of which may play a role in the development of disease such as MF. The study of gene mutations 
and variations in genes may help scientist to predict which patients with MF are most likely to respond 
to specific regimens. In this study, genetic testing will be performed in order to learn more about factors 
which may predict response to the study drug. The doctors at Mount Sinai are working with other cancer 
researchers, are attempting to better understand the causes of myeloproliferative neoplasms and to 
develop improved methods for the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases.
As part of this research study, a small sample of your blood will be taken to look for these certain 
molecules in the blood called “biomarkers.” Because these extra blood and bone marrow samples will 
be collected at the same time as regularly scheduled blood and bone marrow tests, you will not undergo 
any additional procedures. These blood and bone marrow samples will be collected for research 
purposes only. You are also being asked to provide nail clippings. These samples will be used to test 
and analyze the behavior and activity of molecules (the smallest unit of a substance that can exist alone 
and retain the character of that substance) and genes (the basic biological unit of hereditary) that may 
change as by- products of the disease itself. Your nail clippings will provide normal material like DNA 
for comparison with the abnormal material from your blood and/or bone marrow. This information may 
provide us with a better understanding of what causes the disease and how to develop better

treatments. You will not receive the results from research on your sample. That study will only collect 
blood, bone marrow, and nail samples to determine genetic characteristics.
These samples will be sent to special laboratories at the New York Blood Center for careful study and 
analysis. Your samples will be sent to these laboratories using a unique code that does not identify you 
by name, address or social security number. Researchers with access to your samples will not be able 
to identify you. The code linking the sample to your name would be stored at Mount Sinai and known 
only to your doctor and a limited number of research personnel at Mount Sinai. The research will not 
have any effect on your care; therefore, the results of the genetic testing will not be placed into your 
medical records. If you discontinue from the trial, regardless of the reason (patient, investigator or 
sponsor decision), no further genetic samples will be collected. However, we will continue to use data 
previously generated from the genetic samples collected prior to the date of discontinuation.
These samples will be obtained at the following times:
•
Bone marrow biopsy and aspirate – before starting the study, at cycle 4 day 1, cycle 7 day1, 
cycle 10 day 1, every 6 cycles afterwards and at the end of study.
•
Research blood samples- before starting the study drug, on day 1 of cycles 1 through 7, then 
every 3 cycles afterwards and at the end of study. 
•
Nail clippings-at screening, before starting the study drug
The blood and bone marrow samples we collect would normally be obtained at these times while taking 
the study drug and/or routine follow-up. Blood and bone marrow samples, described in the “Description 
of What’s Involved” section, for this study will be drawn only when these samples are being obtained 
for clinical purposes. Therefore, you will not have to undergo any additional procedures to participate in 
this study.
Nail clippings will be obtained only before starting the study drug.
Any information derived directly or indirectly from the future research, as well as any patents, diagnostic 
tests, drugs, or biological products developed directly or indirectly as a result of this research, are the 
sole property of the Sponsor (and its successors, licensees, and assigns) and may be used for 
commercial purposes. You have no right to this property or to any share of the profits that may be 
earned directly or indirectly as a result of this research. However, in signing this form and donating a 
blood sample or tumor tissue specimen for future research, you do not give up any rights that you would 
otherwise have.
To do more powerful research, it is helpful for researchers to share information they get from studying 
human samples. They do this by putting it into one or more scientific databases, where it is stored along 
with information from other studies. Researchers can then study the combined information to learn even 
more about health and disease. If you agree to take part in this study, some of your genetic and health 
information might be placed into one or more scientific databases. There are many different kinds of 
scientific databases; some are maintained by Mount Sinai or another institution, some are maintained 
by the federal government, and some are maintained by private companies. For example, the National 
Institutes of Health (an agency of the federal government) maintains a database called “dbGaP.” A 
researcher who wants to study the information must apply for permission to use the database. Different 
databases may have different ways of reviewing such requests. Researchers with an approved study 
may be able to see and use your information, along with that from many other people. Researchers will 
always have a duty to protect your privacy and to keep your information confidential, but there are risks 
associated with data collection and sharing. They are described in more detail in the risks section.

REASONABLY FORESEEABLE RISKS AND DISCOMFORTS:
While on this research study, you are at risk for certain side effects associated with the study medication 
you will be taking. There may also be side effects that we can’t predict or that are unknown at this time 
which could be serious, permanent, or in some cases, result in death. Therefore, it is important that you 
communicate any and all symptoms that you experience to your study doctor. Medications can be given 
to you to make side effects less serious and less uncomfortable. If you do experience side effects, we 
can withhold or stop your study drug. Many side effects go away shortly after the drug is stopped, but 
in some cases, side effects can be serious, long lasting or permanent. You should also tell your study 
doctor about any other medications or supplements that you are taking.
Risks from the research
The investigators have designed this study learn about the safety and efficacy of the combination of 
Ruxolitinib and Enasidenib. The combination may have side effects that are worse than previously 
observed or that have not been previously observed in animals or humans. The new regimen may not 
improve your condition or disease, or it may make your condition or disease worse. 
Risks from the specific research procedures (drug(s), interventions, or procedures) 
The following section will describe the risks related to each your participation in this research study. 
You should talk to your study doctor about any side effects or other problems that you have while taking 
part in the study.
Side effects can range from mild to serious. Serious side effects are those that may require 
hospitalization, are life threatening or fatal (could cause death). The frequency that people experience 
a certain side effect can range from many (likely), few (less likely) or only one or two (rarely).

Risks and side effects related to Enasidenib
•
Isocitrate Dehydrogenase – Differentiation Syndrome (IDH-DS).  IDH-DS is a life-threating 
side effect that has occurred in about 19% of AML patients treated with Enasidenib with 5% 
of these cases as causing death. Reports of symptoms from IDH-DS have occurred as early 
as 10 days and up to 5 months after starting Enasidenib.   Patients should call your study 
doctor and go to the emergency room right away if any of the following symptoms occur 
while taking Enasidenib: 

Fever

Cough

Shortness of breath

Swelling of arms and legs

Swelling around the neck, groin, or underarm area, 

Fast weight gain of more than 10 pounds within a week

Bone pain

Dizziness of feeling lightheaded
•
Common side effect of Enasidenib include:
▪
Nausea and vomiting 34-50%
▪
Diarrhea 43%
▪
Yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes 81%
▪
Decreased appetite 34%
Risks and Side Effects related to MRI Scans: 
•
Claustrophobia
•
Allergic reaction to contrast
•
Serious allergic reactions that can be life-threatening may occur
•
Death or serious injury due to movement of metals in the body. 
Other risks that can be seen with participating in any clinical trial include:
•
Risk of loss of private information; this risk always exists, but there are procedures in place 
to minimize the risk.
•
Since the study drug combination is for research, when taken alone or in combination with 
other medications (including alcohol or illegal substances), there may be other risks that 
are unknown. 
•
All drugs have a potential risk for allergic reaction, which if not treated promptly, could 
become life threatening.
•
There may be other side effects or risks that are not known at this time. Should information 
become available that may affect your participation in this research study, you will be 
informed. You can then decide if you wish to continue with your participation in the study. 
To limit the risks as much as possible you will be subject to medical supervision. It is your 
responsibility to report to the study doctor and staff all changes in your physical condition 
during the study. This is important for your safety. 
•
The risks of a blood draw include pain, bruising, and the slight possibility of infection at the 
place where the needle goes in.  Some people feel dizzy or may faint during or after a blood 
draw.

In addition to these risks, this research may hurt you in ways that are not known.  The 
unknown risks might be minor or might be major (death).

Severe pain, swelling, and infection 
Risks and Side Effects related to CT Scans: 
The level of risk depends on the number of scans performed, whether contrast dye is used, and the 
amount of radiation used for the specific scans. Contrast dye is not being used in this study. The 
radiation received from CT scans may increase your lifetime chance of getting cancer. Ask the study 
doctor or study staff about the risk from CT scans in this study.
This research study includes exposure to radiation from x-rays or gamma rays. This radiation exposure 
is for research purposes only and is in addition to any radiation needed for your medical care. X-rays 
and gamma rays from natural or medical sources can damage the genetic material (DNA) in your cells. 
At low radiation exposures, the body is usually able to repair the damage. Radiation risk is believed to 
be related to the total lifetime exposure. You should think about your own history of radiation exposure 
from tests (like x-rays or CT scans) in deciding about the radiation in this study. If you have questions 
about the total amount of radiation exposure you will be receiving, you should ask your doctor.
The estimated radiation exposure that you will get for this research study will be 22.55 mSv (an mSv is 
the scientific unit of measurement for whole body radiation dose). The greatest annual exposure (22.55 
mSv) is projected to be in year(s) 1. This exceeds the 6.2 mSv that the average person in the United 
States gets each year from both natural sources like the sun, outer space, air, food and soil, as well as 
from medical procedures. It is less than the 50 mSv of radiation that is allowed each year for people 
who are exposed to radiation in their jobs.
Other risks that can be seen with participating in any clinical trial include:
•
Risk of loss of private information; this risk always exists, but there are procedures in place to 
minimize the risk.
•
Since the study drug combination is for research, when taken alone or in combination with other 
medications (including alcohol or illegal substances), there may be other risks that are unknown.
•
All drugs have a potential risk for allergic reaction, which if not treated promptly, could become 
life threatening.
•
There may be other side effects or risks that are not known at this time. Should information 
become available that may affect your participation in this research study, you will be informed. 
You can then decide if you wish to continue with your participation in the study.

If you are or become pregnant, this research may hurt your baby or your pregnancy in ways 
that are unknown. The unknown risks might be minor or might be major (death) for the 
pregnancy. You should not become pregnant or impregnate a woman while on this research 
study. Please read the acceptable methods of birth control found under the Description of 
What’s Involved section of this document.
•
Group Risks - Although we will not give researchers your name, we will give them basic 
information such as your race, ethnic group, and sex. This information helps researchers 
learn whether the factors that lead to health problems are the same in different groups of 
people. It is possible that such findings could one day help people of the same race, ethnic 
group, or sex as you. However, they could also be used to support harmful stereotypes or 
even promote discrimination. 
•
Privacy Risks - Your name and other information that could directly identify you (such as 
address, date of birth or social security number) will never be placed into a scientific 
database. However, because your genetic information is unique to you, there is a small 
chance that someone could trace it back to you. The risk of this happening is very small but 
may grow in the future.  Since the database includes genetic information, a break in security 
may also pose a potential risk to blood relatives as well as yourself. For example, it could be 
used to make it harder for you (or a relative) to get or keep a job or insurance.  If your private 
information was misused it is possible you would also experience other harms, such as 
stress, anxiety, stigmatization, or embarrassment from revealing information about your 
family relationships, ethnic heritage, or health conditions.
Side effects from this study will likely go away soon after you stop the study regimen.  In some cases, 
side effects can be long lasting or may never go away.  
Everyone taking part in the study will be watched carefully for any side effects.  However, the study 
doctors don’t know all the side effects that may happen.  Be sure to tell your study doctor immediately, 
about any side effect that you have while taking part in the study. 
The Sponsor has taken steps to safeguard your genetic testing information, so the risk of loss of 
confidentiality is small, however, if confidentiality is broken, results of genetic testing may become 
available to insurance carriers or employers. The knowledge of this information has the potential to lead 
to discrimination in employment or insurance. Someone with a known genetic condition indicating a 
susceptibility to develop a disease or condition might be denied a job or a promotion, or denied health 
or life insurance, because they are regarded as a health risks and therefore an economic risk. Carriers 
for a genetic disorder might be discriminated against and viewed as having the potential to have a child 
with a genetic condition.
There is a Federal law called the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA). In general, this law 
makes it illegal for health insurance companies, group health plans, and most employers of over 15 
people to discriminate against you based on your genetic information. However, it does not protect you 
against discrimination by companies that sell life insurance, disability insurance, or long-term care 
insurance.
OTHER POSSIBLE OPTIONS TO CONSIDER:
 Your other choices may include:

• Getting treatment or care without being in a study 
• Taking part in another study, and 
• Getting no treatment 
If you decide that you don’t want any more active regimen, one of your options is called “comfort care.” 
Comfort care includes pain medication and other support. It aims to maintain your comfort and dignity 
rather than cure disease. Usually this care can be provided at home. 
If you think you might prefer comfort care, please discuss this with your family, friends and your doctor. 
Not participating in this research is an option. The researcher will discuss all your options with you.

IN CASE OF INJURY DURING THIS RESEARCH STUDY:
For medical emergencies, call 911.  If you are injured or made sick from taking part in this research 
study, medical care will be provided. Generally, this care will be billed to you or your insurance in the 
ordinary manner and you will be responsible for all treatment costs not covered by your insurance, 
including deductibles, co-payments and coinsurance.  This does not prevent you from seeking payment 
for injury related to malpractice or negligence. Contact the investigator for more information.

____________________________
ENDING PARTICIPATION IN THE RESEARCH STUDY:
Your participation in this study is voluntary.  You may refuse to take part in this study or once in the 
study you may stop at any time without any penalty. This will not affect your ability to receive medical 
care at any of the Mount Sinai hospitals or to receive any benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
If you decide to stop being in the research study, please contact the Principal Investigator or the 
research staff and tell them if you want to leave the study. If you do decide to stop participation, please 
do not stop taking Ruxolitinib without consulting with your physician. Your physician may either 
prescribe a tapering dose of Ruxolitinib over 4-7 days to reduce a sudden increase in symptoms or 
prednisone to ensure you can safely stop taking this medication. Additionally, for your safety, if you 
leave the study early, you may be asked to return to the study doctor’s office for a final study visit. 
If you stop being in the research study, already collected information may not be removed from the 
research study database and will continue to be used to complete the research analysis.  You may be 
asked whether the study doctor can collect information from your routine medical care. If you agree, 
this data will be handled the same as research data.

If you decide you don’t want your samples and/or data to be used for research anymore, you can contact 
the researcher and ask to have your samples and/or data removed from future use. If any samples or 
data have already been shared without your identity, it won’t be possible to retrieve them because no 
one will know who you are. Samples and data that have already been used will not be affected by your 
decision. Any samples and/or data that are still linked to your identity by a code the researcher has will 
be withdrawn so that no future sharing of your samples and/or data will take place. If your samples have 
already been deposited in an external repository, the study team will request that your samples be 
removed.
Withdrawal without your consent: The study doctor, the sponsor or the institution may stop your 
involvement in this research study at any time without your consent. This may be because the research 
study is being stopped, the instructions of the study team have not been followed, the investigator 
believes it is in your best interest, or for any other reason. If specimens or data have been stored as 
part of the research study, they too can be destroyed without your consent.  More possible reasons for 
removal from the study include: you become ineligible for continued participation, side effects that 
warrant discontinuation of the study drug combination, you become pregnant, or your condition changes 
and you need treatment that is not allowed while you are taking part in the study 
If you leave the study before the planned final visit, you may be asked by the study doctor to have some 
tests or procedures done so that you can leave the study safely.

total confidentiality cannot be guaranteed. The results of this research project may be presented at 
meetings or in publications; however, you will not be identified in these presentations and/ or 
publications.
AUTHORIZATION TO USE AND DISCLOSE PERSONAL HEALTH INFORMATION
Federal regulations give you certain rights related to your health information. These include the right to 
know who will be able to get the information and why they may be able to get it. The study doctor must 
get your authorization (permission) to use or give out any health information that might identify you. If 
you choose to be in this study, the study doctor will get personal information about you. This may include 
information that might identify you. The study doctor may also get information about your health, 
including:
•
Past and present medical records
•
Research records
•
Records about phone calls made as part of this research
•
Records about your study visits
•
Information obtained during this research about laboratory test results
•
Results from diagnostic and medical procedures including but not limited to X-rays, physical
•
examinations and medical history
•
Billing records
Information about your health may be used and given to others by the study doctor and staff. They 
might see the research information during and after the study. Your information may be given to the 
sponsor of this research. “Sponsor” includes any persons or companies that are working for or with the 
sponsor or are owned by the sponsor. Information about you and your health which might identify you 
may be given to:

Your personal health information may be further shared by the groups above. If shared by them, the 
information will no longer be covered by the U.S. federal privacy laws. However, these groups are 
committed to keeping your personal health information confidential. If you give permission to give your
identifiable health information to a person or business, the information may no longer be protected. 
There is a risk that your information will be released to others without your permission.
Information about you and your health that might identify you may be given to others to carry out the 
research study. The sponsor will analyze and evaluate the results of the study. In addition, people from 
the sponsor and its consultants will be visiting the research site. They will follow how the study is done, 
and they will be reviewing your information for this purpose. The information may be given to the FDA.

receive marketing approval for new products resulting from this research. The information may also be 
used to meet the reporting requirements of governmental agencies.
In almost all disclosures outside of Mount Sinai, you will not be identified by name, social security 
number, address, telephone number, or any other direct personal identifier. Some records and 
information disclosed may be identified with a unique code number. The Principal Investigator will 
ensure that the key to the code will be kept in a locked file or will be securely stored electronically. The 
code will not be used to link the information back to you without your permission, unless the Institutional 
Review Board allows it after determining that there would be minimal risk to your privacy. The Certificate 
of Confidentiality obtained from the Department of Health and Human Services will not be used to 
prevent disclosure to local authorities of child abuse and neglect, or harm to self or others. It is possible 
that a sponsor or their representatives, a data coordinating office, or a contract research organization, 
will come to inspect your records. Even if those records are identifiable when inspected, the information 
leaving the institution will be stripped of direct identifiers.  Additionally, the Office of Human Subjects 
Protection (OHRP) of the Department of Health and Human Services as well as the Food and Drug 
Administration (FDA) will be granted direct access to your medical records for verification of the 
research procedures and data. They are authorized to remove information with identifiers if necessary 
to complete their task. By signing this document, you are authorizing this access. We may publish the 
results of this research. However, we will keep your name and other identifying information confidential.
This authorization does not have an expiration date. If you do not withdraw this authorization in writing, 
it will remain in effect indefinitely.
By signing this consent form, you are giving permission to use and give out the health information listed 
above for the purposes described above. You do not have to sign this consent form. If you choose not 
to sign this consent form, you will not be able to be in this research study. Your decision not to sign this 
consent form will not have any effect on your medical care and you will not lose any benefits or legal 
rights to which you are entitled. You have the right to review and copy your health information. However, 
if you decide to be in this study and sign this permission form, you may not be allowed to look at or copy 
your information until after the research is completed.
You may withdraw or take away your permission to use and disclose your health information at any 
time. You do this by sending written notice to the study doctor at the address on the front of this informed 
consent form. If you withdraw your permission, you will not be able to continue being in this study, but 
you will not have any penalty or loss of access to treatment or other benefits to which you are entitled. 
When you withdraw your permission, no new health information which might identify you will be 
gathered after that date. Information that has already been gathered may still be used and given to 
others. This would be done if it were necessary for the research to be reliable.
If you have not already received it, you will also be given The Hospital’s Notice of Privacy Practices that 
contains more information about how The Hospital uses and discloses your protected health 
information.
It is important for you to understand that once information is disclosed to others outside Mount Sinai, 
the information may be re-disclosed and will no longer be covered by the federal privacy protection 
regulations. However, even if your information will no longer be protected by federal regulations, where 
possible, Mount Sinai has entered into agreements with those who will receive your information to 
continue to protect your confidentiality.

If as part of this research project your medical records are being reviewed, or a medical history is being 
taken, it is possible that HIV-related information may be revealed to the researchers.  If that is the case, 
the following information concerns you.  If this research does not involve any review of medical records 
or questions about your medical history or conditions, then the following section may be ignored.  
_________________________________________________________________________________
Notice Concerning HIV-Related Information
HIV-related information that either is collected as part of the research or that may already exist in your 
medical record might be accessed for the research by the research staff and the study sponsor, but will 
not be shared with others without your authorization, unless federal or state law requires the disclosure. 
You have a right to request a list of people who may receive or use your HIV-related information without 
authorization. If you experience discrimination because of the release or disclosure of HIV-related 
information, you may contact the New York State Division of Human Rights or New York City 
Commission on Human Rights. These agencies are responsible for protecting your rights.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Collection of Identifiable Private Information or Identifiable Biospecimens 
Identifiers might be removed from your identifiable private information or identifiable biospecimens. After 
such removal, the information or biospecimens could be used for future research studies or distributed 
to another investigator for future research studies without your additional informed consent (or consent 
from your legally authorized representative).
Certificate of Confidentiality: 
To further protect your privacy, the researchers have obtained a Certificate of Confidentiality from the 
Department of Health and Human Services. This is intended to ensure that your identity as a participant 
in this research study will not have to be disclosed as a result from a subpoena, for the purpose of 
identifying you in any federal, state, or local civil, criminal, administrative, legislative, or other 
proceedings other than to the FDA or OHRP as identified above.
The research staff will not share any of your research information or biospecimens with anyone who is 
not a member of the research team, including any family members or friends, other than to those 
identified above. However, you should know that if we learn that you or someone else is threatened 
with serious harm, such as a child or an elderly person being abused, the investigators may notify the 
appropriate authorities if necessary to protect you or others.  A Certificate of Confidentiality does not 
prevent you or a member of your family from voluntarily releasing information about yourself or your 
involvement in this research. This means that you and your family must also actively protect your own 
privacy. If an insurer or employer learns about your research participation, and you agree that they can 
have your research information, then the researchers may not use the Certificate of Confidentiality to 
keep this information from them.
ADULT PARTICIPANT:
Your signature below documents your permission to take part in this research and to the use and 
disclosure of your protected health information. A signed and dated copy will be given to you.
