Official Title: | A Randomized Controlled Phase 3 Study of Oral Pacritinib Versus Best Available Therapy in Patients With Thrombocytopenia and Primary Myelofibrosis, Post-Polycythemia Vera Myelofibrosis, or Post-Essential Thrombocythemia Myelofibrosis |
Study Start Date : | December 2013 |
Actual Primary Completion Date : | August 2016 |
Actual Study Completion Date : | November 2016 |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Pacritinib, Once Daily
Pacritinib 400 mg taken orally, once daily
|
Drug: Pacritinib |
Experimental: Pacritinib, Twice Daily
Pacritinib 200 mg taken orally, twice daily
|
Drug: Pacritinib |
Active Comparator: Best Available Therapy
Best Available Therapy includes any physician-selected treatment for primary myelofibrosis, post-polycythemia vera myelofibrosis, or post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis, such as approved JAK2 inhibitors, and may include any treatment received before study entry. Best Available Therapy may include ruxolitinib, other approved JAK2 inhibitors, hydroxyurea, glucocorticoids, erythropoietic agents, immunomodulatory agents, mercaptopurine, danazol, interferons, cytarabine, melphalan, or other agents and may also include no treatment and symptom-directed treatment without myelofibrosis-specific treatment.

- To compare the efficacy of two dose-schedule arms of pacritinib (pooled once-daily and twice-daily dosing arms) with that of Best Available Therapy [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]To compare the efficacy of two dose-schedule arms of pacritinib (pooled once-daily and twice-daily dosing arms) with that of Best Available Therapy in patients with thrombocytopenia and primary myelofibrosis, post-polycythemia vera myelofibrosis, or post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis; the efficacy measure for this analysis is the proportion of patients achieving a ≥ 35% reduction in spleen volume from baseline to week 24 by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) and the proportion of patients achieving a ≥ 50% reduction in total symptom score from baseline to Week 24 as measured by the Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Symptom Assessment Form 2.0.
- To compare the efficacy of once-daily pacritinib with that of Best Available Therapy [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]To compare the efficacy of once-daily pacritinib with that of Best Available Therapy, as assessed by the proportion of patients achieving a ≥ 35% reduction in spleen volume from baseline to Week 24 by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) and the proportion of patients achieving a ≥ 50% reduction in the total symptom score from baseline to Week 24 on the Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Symptom Assessment Form 2.0.
- To compare the efficacy of twice-daily pacritinib with that of Best Available Therapy [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]To compare the efficacy of twice-daily pacritinib with that of Best Available Therapy, as assessed by the proportion of patients achieving a ≥ 35% reduction in spleen volume from baseline to Week 24 by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) and the proportion of patients achieving a ≥ 50% reduction in the total symptom score from baseline to Week 24 on the myeloproliferate Neoplasm Symptom Assessment Form 2.0.
