Brief summary in lay language

There is currently no standard therapy for myelofibrosis in the accelerated (advanced) phase. Further progression of myelofibrosis can lead to the development of acute leukemia. Therefore, treatment with the drug fedratinib in combination with a second drug, CC-486, will be investigated in this study. The aim is to investigate the tolerability and efficacy of the combination treatment in this disease. The results of this study will help to identify whether fedratinib in combination with CC-486 can become a good treatment option for patients with myelofibrosis in advanced disease phase. The first phase of the study will evaluate safety and tolerability. Furthermore, the optimal dosage of both drugs will be found out in this phase. In the second phase of the study, the efficacy of the combination treatment will be investigated.

Brief summary in scientific language

This is a clinical trial in patients with myelofibrosis in accelerated phase (MPN-AP), for which no standard therapy exists to date. The study patients receive a combination therapy consisting of the drug fedratinib and the hypomethylating substance CC-486 (oral azacitidine). The combination therapy is planned to be administered over a period of 24 months and will be administered as a continuous tablet therapy in two phases. In the first phase, the safety, tolerability and recommended dosage of the drugs will be investigated. In the second phase of the study, patients will be treated with the dosage regimen determined in the first phase to evaluate the efficacy of the efficacy of the combination therapy.

Interventions, Observational Groups

Arm 1:
Inrebic® 100 mg hard capsules (fedratinib), 200mg, 300mg, 400mg/day (depending on dose level) p.o. (hard capsule) for 28 days in combination with mit CC-486 300mg/day p.o. (tablets) for 14 days per cycle until the onset of unacceptable toxicities, lack of therapeutic effects, or progression of disease

Endpoints

Primary outcome:
Phase I: determine the fedratinib maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase II dose (RP2D ) in combination with CC-486. Phase II: determine the rate of best response [clinical improvement (CI), partial remission (PR), and complete remission (CR)] at week 24 of the combination treatment
Secondary outcome:
Time from first observation of response to relapse or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Change in MF-associated symptoms by Cycle 6 from baseline as measured by the MF-SAF. Time from the first observation of best symptom response to first documented loss of symptom response. Percentage of subjects with a spleen response by palpation as defined by the IWG-MRT and ELN consensus report at the end of cycle 6 of the combination treatment as compared to baseline. Time from baseline to the first documented palpable response in spleen size by palpation according to the IWG-MRT and ELN consensus report. Time from the first observation of best spleen response to first documented loss of spleen response based on the IWG-MRT and ELN consensus report. Anemia response according to the IWG-MRT and ELN consensus report criteria. Time from the first treatment dose to disease progression, relapse or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Time from the first treatment dose to death due to any cause. Transition to allogeneic SCT. Analyses of the safety endpoints will include the following measurements or assessments: physical examinations, laboratory tests, AEs, SAEs, ECGs, and vital signs. Analysis of incidence of subjects with a CTCAE Grade ≥3 of nausea, diarrhea, or vomiting, or occurrence of Encephalopathy, including Wernicke’s (confirmed by brain MRI or autopsy). Analysis of thiamine levels will be at screening, on Day 1 of the first 3 cycles, every third cycle thereafter, and at the EOT during the study.. Change in HRQoL from baseline measured monthly by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life C30 (EORTCQLQ-C30). Change in PRO from baseline measured monthly by the EQ- 5D-5L Questionnaires.
