Conditions: Myelofibrosis Polycythemia Vera Thrombocytosis
Allocation: NA | Intervention model: SINGLE_GROUP
Enrollment: 154
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
To determine the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of ruxolitinib (INCB018424), administered orally to patients with Primary Myelofibrosis (PMF), Post Polycythemia Vera Myelofibrosis (PPV-MF) and Essential Thrombocythemia Myelofibrosis (PET-MF).

Detailed description:
This is a multicenter, open-label, non-randomized, dose escalation study of ruxolitinib, a small molecule Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, administered orally to patients with PMF, PPEV-MF or PET-MF. The study is comprised of 3 parts:

Part 1: Dose escalation and determination of maximum tolerated dose (complete).

Part 2: Exploration of alternative dosing schedules (complete).

Part 3: Further evaluation of selected dose regimens, including additional response measures to explore effect of ruxolitinib on symptoms and other parameters including daily physical activity and long-term survival (ongoing).

Arms:
arm 1: All participants received oral ruxolitinib. Patients began treatment with either 10 mg twice a day (bid), 15 mg bid, 25 mg bid, 50 mg bid, 25 mg once a day (qd), 50 mg qd, 100 mg qd, or 200 mg qd, depending on the time period when they entered the study. The doses were titrated based on efficacy and safety to a maximum of 25 mg bid for patients who entered the study after sufficient dosing information had been obtained to define the maximum dose for patients in the study. Patients could continue receiving treatment indefinitely if receiving benefit at a dose that continues to maintain benefit but does not exceed a maximum dose of 25 mg BID.

Interventions: intervention 1: Ruxolitinib
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: 5 and 25 mg tablets with a daily dosing range from 10 to 200 mg qd or bid.
