Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To compare the efficacy of pacritinib with that of best available therapy (BAT) in patients with primary myelofibrosis (PMF), post-polycythemia vera myelofibrosis (PPV-MF), or post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis (PET-MF); the efficacy measure for this analysis is the proportion of patients achieving a = 35% reduction in spleen volume from baseline to Week 24, as measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scan.;Secondary Objective: The key secondary objective is the proportion of patients with = 50% reduction in total symptom score (TSS)from baseline to Week 24 on the Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Symptom Asssessment Form (MPN -SAF TSS 2.0). Other secondary objectives are to compare pacritinib with BAT with respect to: 1. Proportion of patients with baseline platelet count < 100,000/µL achieving = 35% reduction in spleen volume from baseline to Week 24 as measured by MRI or CT scan 2. Proportion of patients with baseline platelet count < 100,000/µL achieving = 50% reduction in TSS from baseline to Week 24 3. Proportion of patients with baseline platelet count < 50,000/µL achieving = 35% reduction in spleen volume from baseline to Week 24 as measured by MRI or CT scan 4. Proportion of patients with baseline platelet count < 50,000/µL achieving = 50% reduction in TSS from baseline to Week 24;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint for measurement of efficacy is the proportion of patients achieving a = 35% reduction in spleen volume from baseline to Week 24, as measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scan. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: MRI or CT assessments at: Screening and Wk 24 (exploratory evaluation only at weeks 12, 36, 48 and every 12 weeks).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): The secondary efficacy endpoint is the proportion of patients with = 50% reduction in total symptom score (TSS) from baseline to Week 24 as measured by the Myleloproliferative Neoplasm Symptom Assessment Form (MPN-SAF TSS 2.0). ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Patients will complete the MPN-SAF TSS 2.0 daily for 7 to 10 consecutive days prior to start of study treatment and then daily from Day 1 through Week 48, or until patient discontinues study treatment, whichever occurs first.
