Brief summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of and to select a treatment regimen of pomalidomide (CC-4047) either as single-agent or in combination with prednisone to study further in patients with myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia (MMM).

Detailed description:
Participants received study treatment in the Double Blind Treatment Phase for up to 12 cycles (336 days; 12 cycles of 28 days each). Participants who completed the Double-Blind Treatment Phase were unblinded and, if receiving pomalidomide and determined to have a complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR) or clinical improvement (CI) using the International Working Group (IWG) Response Criteria in the study protocol, could have continued on their current dose of pomalidomide until disease progression. Participants receiving placebo were discontinued from the study.

Arms:
arm 1: Participants received oral prednisone from Day 1-28 of each 28-day cycle for up to 3 cycles (84 days), 1st cycle = 30 mg daily, 2nd cycle = 15 mg daily, 3rd cycle = 15 mg every other day, and pomalidomide placebo tablets on Days 1-28 for up to 12 cycles in the Double-Blind Treatment Phase.

After the completion of cycle 12 and upon unblinding, participants were discontinued from the study. arm 2: Participants received 2 mg oral pomalidomide daily from Day 1-28 of each 28-day cycle for up to 12 cycles (336 days), and prednisone placebo tablets on Days 1-28 for the first 3 cycles in the Double-Blind Treatment Phase.

After the completion of Cycle 12 and upon unblinding, participants determined to have a complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR) or clinical improvement (CI) using the International Working Group (IWG) Response Criteria in the study protocol, were eligible to participate in the extension phase and continue to receive oral pomalidomide 2 mg daily, from Days 1-28 of each cycle, until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or voluntary withdrawal. arm 3: Participants received 2 mg oral pomalidomide daily from Day 1-28 of each 28-day cycle for up to 12 cycles (336 days), and oral prednisone tablets on Days 1-28 for the first 3 cycles, 1st cycle = 30 mg daily, 2nd cycle = 15 mg daily, 3rd cycle = 15 mg every other day in the Double-Blind Treatment Phase.

After the completion of cycle 12 and upon unblinding, participants determined to have a complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR) or clinical improvement (CI) using the International Working Group (IWG) Response Criteria in the study protocol, were eligible to participate in the extension phase and continue to receive oral pomalidomide 2 mg daily, from Days 1-28 of each cycle, until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or voluntary withdrawal. arm 4: Participants received 0.5 mg oral pomalidomide daily from Day 1-28 of each 28-day cycle for up to 12 cycles (336 days), and oral prednisone tablets on Days 1-28 for the first 3 cycles, 1st cycle = 30 mg daily, 2nd cycle = 15 mg daily, 3rd cycle = 15 mg every other day in the Double-Blind Treatment Phase.

After the completion of cycle 12 and upon unblinding, participants determined to have a complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR) or clinical improvement (CI) using the International Working Group (IWG) Response Criteria in the study protocol, were eligible to participate in the extension phase and continue to receive oral pomalidomide 0.5 mg daily, from Days 1-28 of each cycle, until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or voluntary withdrawal.

Interventions: intervention 1: Pomalidomide intervention 2: Prednisone intervention 3: Placebo to pomalidomide intervention 4: Placebo to prednisone
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: None intervention 2: Participants will take oral prednisone in the evening for 3 cycles of 28 days each (up to 84 days). The dose will be as follows: 1st cycle = 30 mg daily, 2nd cycle = 15 mg daily, 3rd cycle = 15 mg every other day. intervention 3: Matching pomalidomide placebo tablets intervention 4: Matching prednisone placebo tablets
